[@patrickbrown9618]

The musical arrangements are second to none, the lead guitar, bass, the high hat drums, synthesizer, flute and keyboard are exquisite. True genius.

[@maggynewtown3500]

Thom Bell did most of the arranging and production with the Srylistics. On Atlantic.

[@angelmurphey9495]

Many thanks to the band MFSB (Mother, Father, Sister, Brother) The Sound of Philadelphia

[@AJFar-tm7dn]

@@maggynewtown3500 It's a first class production for sure.

[@jaebryson4064]

So true. The opening music tells a whole story even before that amazing voice and lyrics kick in.

[@robertnelson7748]

And Linda Creed did most of the writing.. ​@@maggynewtown3500

[@bosstylesbostonscigarshop7867]

This is real music.

[@CarlaLinton-pj5jn]

Carla Linton. This sure is real music.

[@baerhomburg6447]

I don't recall such sophistication about this song. We just took it for granted. This is absolutely extraordinary!

[@nicholassaenz4225]

i know that's right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CynthiaAleaseSmithEdD]

I was 18 years old when this album came out. I am 70 now, and it's still relevant.

[@deborahpaley21]

just turned 70 myself, it's really something isn't it......what we had, what we experienced.

[@robinsonkids4612]

2024 and I think people have forgotten that people make the world go around, not cell phones not A.I we need each more than ever. Let’s lead with love

[@ojpaige3873]

Absolutely 💯

[@godislove9042]

The extended version is so damn long Almost 12 minutes. I grew up in the wrong time my soul belongs somewhere else ❤❤❤I appreciate the live musicians. How they improvised there’s real Composers people who went to school And studied music all day and night Dedicated people…❤❤❤❤

[@demetriawright1528]

The 70s was an era all its own. Never any time like it before or since. This is one of those songs that perfectly embodies that unmatched 70s cool.

[@oldschoolruler]

Exactly. I was Blessed to be in Jr. High, High School and College in the 70's. An incredible time unmatched by any other generation musically, politically and culturally.

[@nicholassaenz4225]

you are so right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@teeohdubz4760]

Rest in Heaven, Thom Bell. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼✝️

[@LaCheleWallace]

I woke up to The Stylistics playing in my head *heavily* this morning. It's just true blue soul music. Never any issues. Just pure, good music through and through.

[@consumerwarrior1267]

Amen.

[@daniellemaire9459]

The great Stylistics and the Genius of Jamaican Producer Thom Bell, and Linda Creed.

[@rachelbrown6659]

Was born and raised in this era . Loved it sometimes I wish I could go back

Jan 5, 2023💯🎵🎶🎵🎶💃🏽🕺🏻😍

[@micelam]

That flute at the end still sounds great! I love playing along with it!

[@tonystewart4113]

For me the French horns. Such great musicians backing up this classic.

[@tonystewart4113]

The extension on this jam is superb!

[@MarioTheGoose]

Every time I listen to this I am ashamed that I had never heard of Thom Bell until I read his obituary. Undoubtedly he was one most profound musical geniuses of the 20th century. His music and orchestration age like fine wine. An incredible man.

[@EddieRobinson-b2w]

No doubt... one of the greatest to ever do it

[@elisekleinpeter-baker3736]

If The Spike Lee Movie Crooklyn Brought You Here Say “Yeah Baby” Cause I Love ❤Old School Soul Music🎼💯!

[@bernadettegriffin8569]

That is an absolutely fantastic soundtrack.

[@cameronspencer6816]

Yeah, baby! The remaster on the soundtrack was extra crispy.....

[@tommieellington]

2024....this music is relevant for today's environment... so much love !

[@knuteboy3778]

Just more proof that the 70's was the golden era in popular music. You had an explosion of creativity and musical experimentation everywhere. Like in this song..having a bar of 4/4 followed by a bar of 5/4. Unusual for soul music, but it sounded as natural as could be. Songs were so clever and well-crafted.

[@jayhawk6978]

Wish some of the current artists today would take a trip back to the late 60’s and early 70’s and recreate this sound. So many people would dig it. Peace everyone.

[@EnriquePerez01]

Check out our band! TheTripps

[@baerhomburg6447]

i don't think they (most young people) would know how to appreciate this. Why would they? it's not who they are, unfortunately. PEACE TO ALL OF US!!

[@alonsogarcia3593]

Preach it!! 😮

[@euphrates556]

They would not accept this classic sound, enough if it hit them in the "face".

[@johnharris4899]

I like the instrumental part at the end.

[@zannellerichardson4201]

John Harris- They get down don’t they!

[@velanche]

I listened to this song since the 1970’s. It wasn’t until I saw the opening credits for “Crooklyn,” though, that I heard that instrumental part. Turned out I only heard the singles version. That instrumental part is divine.

[@vmoney2877]

Amazing..

[@kintsugiezo6539]

Beat rides out cool and smooth.

[@willardlockejr2965]

The music was courtesy of the legendary Philly house band known as MFSB.

[@mariawhite9638]

This song is just magic, big sound. The falsetto, is beautiful. Thru the decades, this tune defines, life's challenges. We're gonna make it. You, me. Our children. Peace 2020

[@husaingoode4673]

Someone once said music is the closest thing we have to a time machine ! 🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶 keep passing the Love ❤️💯🙌🏽

[@deborahpaley21]

70 in June, hello fellow traveler.....

[@Da_Chozin1]

Turning 150 on the 25th! still listening 🥰 have been 75 years! Gee how time flies by..

[@raiderdanCA]

During my Navy years in the South Pacific, we started our midnite 8hr shift with this song. Hard to explain the full significance, but it seemed to give us focus for the job ahead. Remarkable ...

[@VincentGodinez-m7h]

Stylistics one my favorites in 8th grade, along with all great soul artist of the time, im 65 now. Bring back the memories !

[@jacquelinecrawford94]

66 years young and loving this song 😊

[@marhherz]

Feb/2023. I’m watching Crooklyn at my local Bounce station for the first time since the late 90s (yes, they cut my cable access alright!) What a great song and what a great soundtrack (as I remember and will prove it again)!

[@NEWJACCITY]

May 6th 2024 still one of the greatest songs ever so much meaning in this song

[@crystalday1106]

One of the fabulous tunes of all time, the music is FOREVER TRUE...timeless memories & joy, I grew up in the 1970s, this powerful sweet song stirs my heart, thankyou

[@boborrahood]

A timeless classic written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed. Great arrangement and vocal with possibly the most mesmerizing extended outro of any song.

[@harryhertel4887]

Excellent tune and arrangement. a timeless gem.

[@lanoralowry2280]

Still listening 🎧 2024 ❤

[@rastakyat3]

How yah mean king bless up my youth fi dem deh ting deh seen sah Awoah

[@rodhayes7777]

A good friend of mine from my college days at Jacksonville State could do these guys. He had the Stylistics down! Long before the singing days of Musiq Soulchild, Carl Thomas, and Will Downing -- we had these guys to enjoy. I agree with my pal Tim. They were good.

[@mollymarr5683]

Some songs Never die, this is 1 of them, in fact, this song wuz made 2 last 4Ever!💯🤫

[@derrickcross8630]

✊🏿LEGENDARY💪🏿👊🏿

[@nicholassaenz4225]

legendary is correct!

[@grahamwitcher105]

Just brilliant songwriting and musicianship that has. and will, stand the test of time.

[@raiderdanCA]

revisiting this CLASSIC piece ... as I think back more, I realize we played this on the loudspeaker because we were all isolated halfway around the world and missing home -- even though in the early 70's the USA was already a flawed nation. I think people likely will be listening to this ultra important song 100 years from now. And a sidelight, the great Russell Thompkins Jr.'s voice is one of the finest falsettos in music history, right there with Jay Black, Frankie Valli -- and maybe even Roy Orbison. The instrumental close gives us a chance to think and dream -- and ponder "why" or "why not"

[@nancywood9531]

Russell recorded this song with instrumental backup. He also sang it on TV a couple years ago on an Alicia Keys special. He knocked it right out of the auditorium! He still has it at 70 years old. Amazing talent. 🎶🎤🎶

[@tonystewart4113]

Wow! Would have loved to have seen it. Great voice!

[@jeffreychandler8666]

This classic song came at a time when change was happening in America, just like today! All of us, who remember hopeful days an aspirations towards the 70's of change. Many boomers came out of the "turbulent" 50's - 60's!

[@zinmomo7192]

Just watched Crooklyn again and this song is my favorite in the film :)

[@tonystewart4113]

This song resonates today in 2023….

[@majeedahshabazz1830]

Hauntingly beautiful!

[@CynthiaEaster-cq9ri]

What needs to be understood, is that people made of dust, is not our adversary, but the owner of that clay. We must look far above that illusion and see the evil energy controlling that body. We are more than that energy and the Who is with us are more than them. Me, I roll my eyes and keep moving listening for my Commander.

[@DanaJones-nr6gs]
