I grew up with my mom, dad, and aunties listening to music like this. Now it is all I listen too. I’m 34 and I love music like this to this day! Im an old soul many people say
I'm the same age and feel the same. And as an Englishman, many of my friends never understood. They just didn't get Motown and Philly and probably never could.
Then you was 20 when I was born. Yes I missed the 70's, BUT I caught the 80's and 90's, can't deny those two decades had some great music too. These ponk azz millennials today don't know, or sho.
I wish the 1970s were still here. This song reminds me of my oldest brother, Melvin. Whenever I hear this song, I can still see him washing & waxing his 1975 Ford Mercury in the front yard. The 8-track tape player in his car would be blasting "The Stylistics," "Earth, Wind & Fire," and "The Ohio Players." Rest in peace, Melvin.
Alan Morris : God Comfort you....... I loved the 70’s too. Big Beatles fan, then discovered black soul music and have loved it ever since. May I recommend to you the Time Life collection of seventies soul music? It is worth the price......7 CDs of the great classics from this period. Go to Timelife.com, that should bring it up....
I used to do the same thing as your brother except The Car was brand new 1951 Black Ford with s state police engine in it Police could never catch me car went 0 to 100 an 6 seconds
Hi Patricia. Summer of 72. Great memories of family and friends..Great music. 13 then .now 65. Wow the years do go fast ! God put me in Southern California in July 1959. Guess he knew I was going to be a huge car nut!
The 70's and 80's singers and band singers may be the best era of America music. Maybe in all music in the world. Especially in the era of falsetto and tenor. What's amazing Michael Jackson and Jackson five could've started all. They premiere in 1969-1970.
When I was four years old my father used to play all of these beautiful songs and I used to sit and listen. I still enjoy listening and singing to these goodies at the the age of 58.
Met a girl a couple weeks ago and she has rocked my world, sent her this ole school hit and it’s how I feel about her, I’ve been waiting for this lady my whole life, wish me 🍀 luck
I've just turned 75 and keep up to date with most things but if ever a song was right for ANY couple, old or young, this is it. May your romance bloom, blossom and remain eternal. 😊❤
Barbara I agree with you 100 percent! I grew up with this music, dance to it, brought their songs back it came in cassettes and vinyl records. Russell Thompkins Jr. to me has one of the best falsetto voice ever. Giving the late Harry Ray, the late AL Goodman and Billy Brown from the original group the Moments a run for their money, also Philip Bailey, the lead singer for many, many with Earth Wind and Fire as well. This kind of music sadly doesn't come around anymore! God how I miss this kind of music and those days! Ciao, Frank.
wishing this type of music or more peaceful world return 😢it never will because the people coming up and growing up nowadays are a different breed altogether, and this whole world has changed forever for the worse! People no longer value their own lives let alone another person’s, look at how nothing made nowadays has any real value.. look at how expensive everything is and yet not worth the expense. Cheap throw away Cars, Trucks, Houses, Clothes, Furniture, Computers, TV,s, Shoes, Washing Machines, Dryers, Refrigerators, Microwave Ovens, everything has gone from being well made with excellent quality and materials to Extremely expensive Cheaply made poor quality from the cheapest materials.. this should be on the law books as a Felony Crime! This just shows you why we have so much greed and waste in our country, if I were running for president of the United States? I would change so many things and laws to get us back to being the strong, prosperous, healthy, productive country we were once
The Stylistics were Motown's greatest group. HANDS DOWN. The gorgeous high falsetto of Russell Tompkins Jr. set the tone for a musical montage unequaled in that genre. Even the greatest groups have songs that miss the mark and leave the listener cold. Every song from the Stylistics was a 24 karat diamond. Thank God for You Tube and instant access to these superlative classics.
@tonycanabal1659 I didn't know they were attached to a different label at one time. The Sound and the Style of the Stylistics set the benchmark for every other group that followed. Kudos to Avco for setting this amazing group on their path to greatness.
@umouthingme Here's more food for thought. I always liked Martha and the Vandellas even more. Martha Reeves was marvelous. Also, for pure soul, only Aretha Franklin could outdo Gladys Knight, in my opinion.
I'm 58 and still listening in 2022! I don't know where the time went but this song still makes me feel like it did in the 70s God bless all of you listening!!!
I attended a private boarding school … with only 150 students, the school was struggling a bit financially. One year, I was in Grade 10, the headmaster accepted several scholarship students from inner city neighborhoods (Watts, Compton, Oakland, Berkeley) as I believe he received government matching funds to host these students. Musically and culturally it was an education for me, a suburban white kid. As a result I heard The Stylistics, The O’Jays, The Spinners, Curtis Mayfield, Joe Tex, etc. for the first time … amazing! 🙂🤜🏼🤛🏾
It's 2023. My 5 yr old grand daughter came to me and sung " keep growing strong keep growing strong." I asked her where did you to get that from? She remembered me playing this song. 😂😂
We lived two blocks away from my school. In the fall of 71 I'd run home everyday for lunch. I could smell my moms cooking as soon as I reached our porch. As I entered I could hear the stylistics coming through the radio on the kitchen table.
I'm 62 and growing up in the 70s with all this wonderful music. God this stuff is the real deal . Hate the rubbish that is out now . . Great memories every time I hear this song .
This was my wedding song my husband sang to me in 1987. My favorite song. He just passed away and I still listen to this beautiful favorite song ,remembering all the good times. I will always remember this was our song.
So classy then and more today. This modern generation has no idea how lucky we were then when this jewel came out. If only we could return to those days.
That’s wonderful! Being a Caribbean man, I’m sure he knows that the co-writer, composer & arranger of this song, Thom Bell, is from Jamaica. Respect to you & yours. 👊🏽🙏🏽
Always bringing this music back and listening to this. It makes you realize how privileged and blessed we were to for those good old times, always brings back good memories
One word: timeless....to elaborate; poetry, vibrating the ether in the air, to produce, such a beautiful melody that will always stimulate the memory.....
This song reminds me when I was on Okinawa with the Marines. It reminds me of a girl I was madly in love with. I did write to her while I was still on Okinawa. I got a letter back, but no return address. Well that's life. I never met her face to face. I guess she was like everyone else in those days, hated Military personell especially Marines. I'm proud of my service. 73-77.
Russell has always said this is his favorite stylistics song , personally I think its children of the night , but then again I have been known to be wrong many times
R.I.P Mr Thom Bell (1943-2022) was talented song writer, singer, composer & creator of Philadephia Soul gave us some of the most beautiful such as this one. R.I.P Mr Bell #thombell #ripthombell
My wife and I are listening to this in 2022, holding hands and feeling loved. This, after seeing Rammstein last week. I love metal but there is no denying the pure excellence of the Stylistics, particularly this song.🤘
I am 33 raised on these oldies from nanas spade games as a child my cousins and I from my moms.generation to my kids and they're.10 and 4! Thank you nana i love you!
3:30 am in the quiet of the night, packing my bag after a new years weekend spent with family i havent seen in years and now its time to leave to go back home in a few hours
I met Russell Thompkins Jr. Right before he left the original lineup of the Stylistics in the late 90's in Las Vegas. (Stardust Hotel Casino) where i worked. Cool dude.
True classics never die... I'm 66 yrs old and I'm glad i grew up listening to real music!!!!!!!!!!!!
I STRONGLY AGREE THE MUSIC BACK
THEN IS EVERLASTING AND ONE OF A KIND
66 too. I was listening to this as well as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, ect...we had the best music growing up!

Real vocals, real bands.....im 60 yrs old, and no music today "feels" good like the CLASSICS!!
My mom loved this song and played it so much.😊🥲
Check out October London. It’s people still doing it it’s just not popular
When artists had voices
Lol...Arguably the DUMBEST thing I've heard in years
Yes. When artists had to be naturally talented and not manufactured.

I can also hear: "People make the world go round!!"
No autotune just all-out talent.
I am. March 24 I love this music and always will I’m 64 yrs young
Then you was 20 when I was born.
Yes I missed the 70's,
BUT I caught the 80's and 90's,
can't deny those two decades had some great music too.

Been listening since the 70s and still love The Stylistics in 2024 ❤
Happy Birthday!
I am 67 years old and old school music will never go away.
I'm 42. I saw The Stylistics play in Australia in 2000. I was lucky enough to have a few drinks with Airron.. Would be cool to say hello again..
I'm 69 and I agree with you
Very true. Never to be repeated
I am 19 and I agree with you. The more years go by, the more I find myself gravitating to music from the 70s and 80s.
True ❤️
This has got to be one of the most beautifully written songs of ALL time
Luv this song and luv these guys
Not only one of the best and most beautifully written songs. It should have over 100 million views!
Who is with me listening to this great music in 2020??
im still listening to it as i did in the 70s

The 70's and 80's singers and band singers may be the best era of America music.
Maybe in all music in the world. Especially in the era of falsetto and tenor.
What's amazing Michael Jackson and Jackson five could've started all.
They premiere in 1969-1970.
Love the Stylistics. They don’t make them like this anymore
No truer words spoken my dear!!!💕
No they were really good, I have a few of their singles, great memories

This is the kind of music to be listened to over a candlelight dinner with a significant other and a panoramic view of all the city lights.

Nah. On the front porch with an old friend and a beer at sunset. And complete silence. Nothing needs to be said.
