- The Stylistics are an American, Philadelphia soul group that achieved their greatest chart success in the 1970s. They formed in 1968, with a lineup of singers Russell Thompkins Jr., Herb Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. We produced this several years ago We used 5 cameras for this Enjoy
Russell is still The Man!! Been a fan since 1971.
Me too, the original is exquisite!😊😊😅
@@ayndowney9401Russell is the original
Only Russell Tompkins can sing this song so Beautifully and Gently
😢
No drug! No profanity or degrading women! Focus on the words and the voice! Pure class plus exceptional talent!
Yes, that was perfection reflected in your comments 😊😅❤😂 I have enough of wannabes musical knockoffs diluting our Proper English and substituting for this unrecognizable utterance of gobbled gooch . This music personifies Excellence!!!!😊😅🎉😂❤
There is no earthly voice like Russell Thompkins!!!! An incredible tone and pitch!!!!!
His voice has cracked very little for a 70yr old man. Betcha by golly wow, you are everything,hurry up this way again , stop look listen and you make me feel brand new are my favorites
He has perfect pitch!
You are right Kevin Hall. I see you on nearly all of Russell's videos. Great place to hang out!
Perfection in every aspect of music and Respectful of all audience members!😊😊😊
Yes perfect performance as it should be, no nonsense, more talent than we are subjected to and inundated upon us while we try and escape from the babbling of Credence inhabiting this Planet!😊❤
The master vocalist who has contributed to the soundtrack of my life, greatly. I am forever grateful for Russell's talent!
Yes, This singer is an exceptional artist that brings so much deeper and delightful perfection, we are supposed to be Memorized by this type of music 🎵🎶 Thank The Lord we have this as our sanctuary ❤️🎉😂❤ a reprieve to escape to!😊🎉❤
@@ayndowney9401 Well said!
Im with you. He's one of the main vocalists that got me to learn to sing falsetto. Got plenty chicks because of him! LOL
Russell's vocal chords should be inducted into the Human Amatomy Hall of Fame!!! His vibrato control in this range is beyond human lol
I was thinking the same thing,with that voice he can't be human.
Gotta be some kind of singing machine...Lol
@@glkelly595 Yep lol. 33:09 - 33:50 turns Break Up To Make Up into a whole new song lol!!!
Right there beside Sam Cooke!
Russell Thompkins Jr is the best falsetto singer of all time case close!!! That band is so tight excellent!!! how the hell is he not in the rock ‘n’ roll, Hall of Fame what a joke!!
I remember coming back from Vietnam in 1971.This is a group that gave me peace while in the war.Thankyou.
Welcome home!
There's is absolutely NO WAY if you saw Russel just walking down the street that you would EVER think he had a voice like this. I LOVE this man!!!!
Not more than me 😊
I've been with them since thé 70's and I'm still here. Love you guys.Russell thé only thing that's change is thé hair so has mine, your voice is still there ,hang in there love you all God Bless.

There may be 2 versions of Stylistics but Russell is the Stylistics, no ifs and or buts about it. He da man.

Will Always Love Russell and The Stylistics ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💯💯💯💯💯💯
Russell Thompkins is truly amazing. Heard him live on the Soul Train Cruise in 2013. He had the whole ship memorized. What a voice.
He still does the Soul Train cruise in 2023.
I grew up listening to them. I'm 70 and still love listening to them. This rap I don't even consider music. It's plain evil. I am so grateful to Yahuah our creator that I got to live in this time. I used to go to Griffith Park every Sunday for the love it's. Saw Chicago and almost Janice Joplin. Everyone got along. No fights or killing. Just love. I really miss those times. What is going on today I have never seen anything in my whole life. I think the end times are coming. Love everyone.
I agree, I was wondering about going to see Anita Baker in Memphis Tennessee, but the way crowds are turning up with knives, guns, The proud boys, the white supremacists and their Intentions of causing constant violence, the wannabe musicians showing up and targeting people for no reason we need other options like live streaming from the closed system in the region. Live streaming from your hotel room, parked in the garage adjacent to the concert venue. Something has to Change, really fast!!!!😊😢
Griffith Park the merry go round.The very very best of times.
Hearing this angelic voice emanating from this elderly man is L.I.F.E!!!!
ELDERLY does not apply at all to this still Youthful Man with such an ever strong and beautiful voice.
So old and yet still has the melody.
Russell Thompson; an American Treasure❤❤❤❤❤
Russell's voice is like velvet to the ear, so soft and smooth. wicked falsetto!
He is the best to ever do it ,Eban is good,but Russell is the best
I was NOT part of this era. I was NOT born during their heyday. However, i stumbled on this clip cuz I’m a fan. Great show! Mr. Thompkin’s voice sounds no different than when he recorded these songs. Goes to show u if u take care of yourself, no smokin, no drugs etc you can do it like u did it b4.
75 baby again, I love it, love it, love it....
RUSSELL'S voice has me speechless!!!!
I really enjoyed watching this concert and seeing Russell and the the guys 😊
I ❤ Russell’s falsetto voice …it’s like velvet 🎤
I grew up listing to the stylistic music I will be 60years old Thursday July 4th and I am still listing to the stylistic music today in 2024 the stylistic music will never get old the music from the 60s 70s and 80s is the best music of all times sometimes I wish we could go back to those good old days that's when everybody loved one another and had respect for each other and the kids had respect for their parents and grandparents and their aunts and uncles
I am a Philly original I have followed so many great singers from the uptown to the Dell. The Philly sound is ecletic the lyrics so full of love. Linda Creed was such a talent. I will never stop missing her.
Yes he still has the voice.i cant believe it
Thanks for this!
50 Years of Philly Soul!

Russel Thompkin jr voice is like know other within the industry
I NEVER get tired of listening to Russell’s voice. He makes me proud to say I’m from Philadelphia. Still listening at the age of 62 and will always be listening! Thank you for your angelic voice Russell.
Thx God
I'm from the UK and has been a massive fan since I was a young lad love the Stylistics
Wow, Russell still have this voice after 40 years. August 20, 2021
Incredible!
Listening to this August 23 the 2021 what a voice.
understand his wife dragged him to voice lessons for 3 years, so this why today he has this natural flow and can reach high notes easily, naturally. he learned to use his voice
....and to add up to the note, Mr. Thompson Jr stop drinking and smoking at their early days of success I saw him here on RUclips at a interview.
@@ingridkern6582 actually Florence did take him to the music institution but not for voice lessons. He actually let his voice REST for 2 years. ( not 3).... He was there to learn to play the piano and other instruments he had a longing to play.. And learn about other music genres he was interested in. He didn't need voice lessons..
He already had sung in Carnegie Hall . 💯
@@ingridkern6582 sort of correct but Florence encouraged him to attend a music college after he left the Stylistics in 2000. He let his voice rest for 2 years while he learned to play piano and some other instruments. He always wanted to learn piano. He had no intention of going back to singing. But when he left the Stylistics nearly everyone in band ,choreographer, stage director and others left with him. They kept trying to get him to put the group back together ( minus Airion and Herb) and go back on road with them but he wouldn't. He studied music writing and instruments for 2 years. Then gave in and said ok. Rest is history. Such a gift he is to our music enjoyment.
🎶🌟🎶
You are Amazing Russel ❤️🌹
Absolutely brilliant theres only one Russell thompkins jr what a voice
That brother on our left, Raymond Johnson, has a very pretty voice. His timbre is rich and of first rate quality. His solo spots are superb and listening to his harmony work, he's a great asset to the group! No skin in the game; just observation!
Thanks GIG. Russell would appreciate you saying that about Raymond. Raymond sang with original Stylistics for 9 years but he played guitar for them before that since they first organized. He wouldn't have said it better himself! 😊🎶
Russell Thompkins and Raymond Johnson....such beautiful duet...special harmory together. Love it. You don't hear that harmony often. Fantastic.
🌟🎶🌟
Yes, you will notice that the banner across the top of the video names the original 5 singers! Only 4 on stage.
Sounds better than ever!! Thanks guys!
Marcou a minha juventude e toda a minha geração, amei muito ao som das músicas desta banda. Hoje só resta saudades.
What a great concert!!!! Greatest hits. Break up to make up, You're as right as rain, You are everything.... wow!!!

These fellas are definitely the true Stylistics! Russell is still as cold as he was years ago! I have enjoyed listening to the Stylistics songs since the late 60's and I still enjoy them today! Thanks for posting this concert! Words can't describe it. May God continue to bless you all.

Living ledgend

Consumate professional Russell Thompkins Jr probably one of the most perfect voices in popular music He has the gift of being able to conger up actual magic feelings within the human soul We love you Russell and the boys
Greatest introduction of band members ever...by Ed Ranton. Such a beautiful talking and singing voice! Good job. ED ....and we miss you very much. Get well and please try to return if possible... it's great with 2 steppers but magnificent when there were 3 of you. 🎶🎤🎶
Who is that, keyboard player?
@@georgebur Kenny Thompson who was the stage manager and music director for original group. He is fantastic on keyboard.
Fantástico Russell Thompkins Jr. - incrível depois de tantos anos a voz continua perfeita, este é o verdadeiro Stylistics.
That voice!
Russell. Can I MARRY that voice. X
Lol...sorry Florence already did. They've been married since late teens.
thank you for the 70s,80s,90s, and now the 2000s.....LOVE U 4EVER
my dad introduced me and my 2 sisters to this awesome group, yep they didint like. hmm. i loved them. I chose a song for my dads funeral. dad was 49. but had to be the stylistics. haunting voice Russell x
Únicos un grupo inolvidable, bellísimas melodías e interpretaciones memorables, qué gran regalo a nuestro espíritu escucharlos y recordarlos como siempre, muchas gracias
This really takes me back to my teen years in the 1970s---truly emotional! Russell Thompkins STILL HAS IT--the group is sensational!
This is the greatest concert of 70's and 80's music around. This is a one of a kind group. Russell Thompkins Jr lead singer for Stylistics over 30 years. He is still amazing. Keep the sounds rocking guys. Loving it ...again! Watch every few weeks.
🎶😉🎶
If there is no Russell there are no Stylistics--it's that simple. A one man band who recorded most of the hits on his own in the studio. In the same mode as Eugene Record of the Chi-Lites
He didn't record MOST of their top hits.......Russell recorded all of Stylistics hits. I think he recorded over 300 songs in his career.
Absolutely out of this.world nobody compares to Russel thomkins Jr he is just simply the best what a voice 👏 I can't believe he still has this outstanding 👏 voice trueley professional
My top go to music for the 1970's
EU SOU MUITO FÃ E TIVE OPORTUNIDADE DE ASSISTI AQUI NO BRASIL!!!
ELES VOLTAM AGORA 27 DE SETEMBRO 2024 NO VIVO RIO....RIO DE JANEIRO🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have loved this group since the 1970s.They have the Best Style.I love the voice of Russell Thompkin,s junior.Their hit songs are Still treasured today.Such a Unique style.My favourite group of all times.
Big tunes from The Original
Voices amazing ,Harmony tight …. Band is playing to how the songs are flowing ( not overplaying) … especially The Drummer.. great job guys !!!! I know … i played in that era with groups such as this !!!
Raymond Johnson has the most mello smooth voice on " Thank You Baby" with Russell. He is a perfect harmony to duo sing with Russell. Great asset for the group. Raymond Johnson sang backup with Thom Belll, Kenny Gamble, Phil Hurt, Bunny Seigle and Linda Creed on the hit songs Russell recorded and made famous.....not the 4 stage steppers! They weren't in studio.
Love you Raymond Johnson, Ed Ranton Jonathon Buckston.....and Russell Thompkins jr. ❤
⚘💫🎶🌟🌟🌟
Great Performance!!!
