Russell Thompkins has one of the best natural falsetto voices of all time.

[@micah19641]

“You Are Everything”, “You Make Me Feel Brand New”, Break Up To Make Up” are my favorites to this great 70’s group.

[@bigsteve9279]

Right! Many hits!

[@VENUS.SE7EN]

Can't forget about "You're As Right As Rain." That one makes me cry, it's so beautiful.

[@Jagangela]

"Rock and Roll Baby"

[@jamesrobbison]

OK! There seems to be a lot of confusion on my comment so I'm editing it! One of the most (NOT underrated but OVERLOOKED by KZbin reactors) groups, The Stylistics had a string of hits in the 70's and this song was one of my personal favs, thanks for reacting to it.

[@michaelasay8587]

Underated? By who?? Everyone I know loved them....everybody did and surely does today.

[@jamesrobbison]

@@michaelasay8587 Just sayin', a lot of their best songs are being overlooked by people reacting, don't get so worked up brutha!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@jamesrobbison Hardly overrated. And there are a lot of reactions to them out there.

[@jamesrobbison]

@@Cosmo-Kramer Nope I said one of the most UNDERRATED groups! 🙂

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@jamesrobbison Oops. Typo on my part. I meant to say they are hardly underrated, and that there are a lot reactions to them.

[@djjerome]

A lot of the music that came out back in the 70s wasn't just cool or soulful or earthy, it was downright spiritual. There will never be another era of music that was a special as the 70s were.

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

Personally I blame the 80s for prioritizing style over substance more than anything. I'm not saying it didn't happen before but there's something to be said hen the music videos were more so the focus than the music.

[@DonTsukamoto-o6m]

Another great song from the Stylistics is “You’ll Never Get To Heaven”. I love how emotional you get when listening to these songs.

[@mikek5958]

The BEST of Philly Soul from my hometown Philly yo!

Peace! Yo Salute 🫡…North Philly is full of soldiers..

[@leonwhitted5662]

An old school group that sings in five part harmony. Russell Tompkins falsetto voice is truly beautiful. Nothing like that TSOP soul sound.

[@BruceStanton-pb7wt]

My favorite soul group!

[@ElliottStiles]

this is classic music

[@chidrummer]

That hollow sound you were asking about is made with a conga drum and it's called a glissando. You make it by striking the drum with one hand and lightly letting your middle finger (supported by your thumb) slide over the top of the drum head while it's vibrating. The sound is the harmonic that's created by the slide. Also, that's not a vibraphone on the track. It's a marimba.

[@johnnyshinnichi1785]

Aah, I thought it was a bongo/conga or something, but i thought they had put some kind of effect on it. I didn't know they could make that sound naturally.

[@djjonosborn1531]

I just watched this again. First off, you are beautiful! Second, the reason why I picked this song as song of the week is not just because I like The Stylistics. Listen to the words carefully. It is about the generation gap that existed at that time. One line is" blaming it on longer hair". Our parents were blaming kids with long hair of that time because we were protesting many things. Racism, the Vietnam War, pollution (which is in the song) and many other things. It's just a great song at many levels.

[@bigsteve9279]

Check out the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose ~ ‘Too Late to Turn Back Now’ Early 70’s also

[@tedcole9936]

Yes, great track!

[@tornripped6315]

I like your reactions. (Unlike other channels that interrupt the song 2-3 times and "overreact!") ✌️😎

[@crsounddoctor4937]

This is such a "VIBE!!!" They just don't make music like this anymore!!!

[@wilbursims5565]

They were the best that ever did it they don't do it like this anymore. Ramsey Lewis just passed. thx for your reaction

[@tedcole9936]

Oh, my. Thanks for sharing that sad news, Ramsey Lewis.. By this comment here, I can only assume that you know that Ramey Lewis also performed this song... I think in studio, too, but my favorite recording of Ramsey Lewis doing this song is a bit hard to find these days... it was on a Soundtrack called "Save the Children" which was a project of the Rainbow Coalition, a stage event, and Ramsey did this track so chill... no vocals, of course, just instrumental, it had all the outdoor jazz festival background... extremely mellow and low key, just a lovely lovely track. "Save the Children" was a double LP was on vinyl in the 70's, but then it went out of print... don't know if it ever made it to CD. A pretty cool collection of various artists doing their stage performances. Me, I have the vinyl, and it can be found if you try...

[@macmansantana7736]

The wonderful writing of Thom Bell and Linda Creed!

[@smash718]

As a person that heard Westside Connection's version of this first. The original sounds extra gritty to me.

[@1939lb]

The whole album is a masterpiece

[@Choo_Bacca]

check out the track Hurry Up this way Again, later in their time but great track.

[@uniniversalstar1974]

My husband and I just saw them in concert in DETROIT this past weekend and it was so very nice. I was born after this song came out but I remember my parents playing it growing up

[@warrenbfeagins]

Your parents raised you right. I was a kid when this came out. It was played EVERYWHERE.

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hi Angela, When you look up the word "smooth" in the musical dictionary you'll find "The Stylistics" deeply ingrained in the definition!!! Mic Drop!!! 🎤

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Ms. D., The 3 songs mentioned by Hong Fang are very good.. (My power blinked cutting my computer off and now most of the sites I visit do not recognize my computer.. Patreon thinks I could be a Robot, I sent a Msg. but I haven't heard a thing..) ♠W.G.

[@shawn1432]

Boy oh boy does this bring back so many memories and the music was fantastic !

[@heentlasaa9974]

Yes; The Songwriting Duo Bell & Creed was Thom Bell and Linda Creed, they wrote alot of hits for the Stylistics and other acts working with Arrangers Gamble & Huff. Together they Opitomized Philadelphia Soul that was a Mainstay on AM Radio. Bell & Creed are Credited with "You make me feel Brand new; You are everything, Betcha by Golly Wow, Break up to Make Up, Can't give you everything, Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart, Hurry up this way again, I'm stone in love with you, Lets put it all together," Bell & Creed also wrote "Didn't I blow your mind this time" by the Delfonics. Linda Creed was White, I thought she was Black. Vinyl Grooves could barely contain how much Soul she had. While battling Breast Cancer she wrote "The Greatest love of all," recorded by George Benson & Whitney Houston, Sadly, she died at age 38. Thanks Angela.

[@hongfang2508]

I love this group. They were doing the BeeGee falsetto before Barry Gibb. Stylistics were a hit machine in early 70s. This song was not a big hit that I recall. But songs like Betcha By Golly Wow, You Make Me Feel Band New and I'm Stone in Love With You certainly were

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

I recall this song being very popular on adult oriented radio stations in NYC back in the day. It was also covered by a few Jazz artists..

[@paulwalker9421]

The Bee Gee's began in the sixties using falsetto way before the Stylistics but they are both fantastic groups! "Betcha By golly Wow" is a wonderful song and a favorite .

[@hongfang2508]

@@paulwalker9421 Barry described his famous falsetto came to him around 1975 or 1976. I think BeeGees sang high early in career but not the late 70s Barry falsetto.

[@barbsmith5465]

You bet they did it first.

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

You forget the chi-lites and Delfonics and they were out there on the mainstream since the late 60's

[@paulfoshan8770]

I’m surprised that no one suggested “And when I die” by blood, sweat and tears. I think you’ll enjoy it.

[@kurtadams3021]

Mr Russell Thompkins Jr is a bad man

[@jofoster1596]

Russell Thompkins falsetto vocals were stunning always

[@robweymouth7244]

Angela, you picked a great group to react to! You need to react to more of their songs. Songs like "You Make Me Feel Brand New" "Betcha By Golly Wow" "You Are Everything" and so much more. You will get a full dose of great falsetto singing!

[@paulwalker9421]

Fantastic group try" Betcha By Golly wow" or "You Make Me Feel Brand New" thank you Angela ! The Delfonics And Chi Lites are other groups of the seventies. They were part of what was the Philly sound!

[@heentlasaa9974]

Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart - "You're alone all the time. Does it ever puzzle you, have you asked why you seem to fall in Love? Out again! Do you every really Love or just Pretend? Why fool yourself? Don't be afraid to help yourself. it's never to late, to late to Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart and what its saying. Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart and what its Saying Love - Love - Love." One of my Favorite tunes by the Stylistics.

[@TZ61]

Yeah, kinda sad, isn't it. I guess you could say we don't learn from our mistakes. As long as politicians have their hands in it, safe to say we'll still be talking about these same problems 50 years from now. Off the soapbox. The Stylistics are one of the great groups of soul balladeers. Thank you.

[@carolgordon4785]

Another Beautiful reaction.....you got this ...And yes still relevant Stone In Love with You another gr8 song by the and Betcha By Golly Wow.their other mega hit..their songs were cover by other prominent and talented singers...the one you just reacted to , recently by the beautiful and talented Kandice Springs..Betcha By Golly Wow , by fantastic Phyllis Hyman (RIP❤)....

Angela - This is a beautiful song. Never heard it before. The Stylistics are just wonderful to listen to. It is a shame to say but music today just does not have the same soul. Great reaction Angela.

[@davids5336]

Wow! They certainly speak and or sing the truth in this song! Their other magnificent song is You Make Me Feel Brand New! People can make this life a living hell or a living Paradise! We experience a combination of both to varying degrees and levels everyday! I wonder how it's all going to end and where we will end up! Stay tuned!

[@archstantonainthere4526]

Angela, the "jug" sound you were curious about was the rhythm guitarist using a technique called "choking". It adds rhythmic definition to a musical phrase. Perhaps used a wah-wah pedal, as well.

[@tommix6457]

That sound you were wondering about it's made from a Conga drum. When you press down in the center of it it makes that sound. It's a cool sound my friend used to play conga drums in a Latin band and he used to make that sound a lot. It was cool back in the 70s 80s

[@gregoryburton1241]

Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff were the creators of the, Philly Sound. They meshed orchestral arrangements with solid RnB rhythms to create theirs signature sound. Back in the 70’s, all schools had music classes. So we knew an Oboe from a flute and a Violin from a Cello. Now, people use Autotunes to create music. But they can’t name an instrument outside drums, guitar and piano. Long live the 70’s music!

A cooler if beer and a pretty girl and the world was a fabulous place.

Fabulous memories if a now 64 year old.

YOU MAKE ME FEEL BRAND NEW, BREAK UP, TO MAKE UP, and ROCK-N-ROLL BABY. These songs should send you on your way through the Stylistics catalog. Thoughtful songs for those quiet moments. And as you say, it's all just little bits of HISTORY REPEATING itself. Which by the wsy is a song by Shirley Bassey from the 9o's with music by the group known as the Propeller Heads. You did Shirley when you were reacted to movie soundtrack songs. Her song was GOLDFINGER from James Bond. Check out HISTORY REPEATING. It is well worth it. Enjoy.
