    Russell Thompkins jr.....the lead singer on Stylistic songs. Still singing fantastically with that amazing voice at 70 years old. 2 of the backup were also with him in early days. As is his conductor, choreographer and many of his band members. Keep giving them the real thing Russell. Keep touring. Love it!! 🎶🎤🎶

    Wow! Russell Thompkins, Jr. and the New Stylistics! I'm ecstatic you posted Russell Thompkins the main voice for the Stylistics! In my opinion; no other Falsetto can touch him! I keep seeing the original Stylistics but always wondered what happened to Russell, now I know he's doing what he does best - Singing!

    The first time i saw Russel jr. and the original Stylistics was in N.Y.C. when they made their first hit "You're A Big Girl Now". They gave a mini concert of their first songs on 112th st.and Madison ave. in the Taft prodjects [East Harlem]. The next time was at the Appollo with the "Godfather of Soul" James Brown in 1971. Great show.

  • @cynrod100
    @cynrod100 13 лет назад +4

    One of the best falsetto tenors to ever live. Listen to the live band behind them these young entertainers wouldn't know what to do with them so used to singing with tracks. This told the truth between real performers and imitators. If you can sing live and sound like the cd without inhancements you are a true entertainers.

I Grew up on The Stylistics music back in the '70's. So much great music from that era, and The Stylistics' right there in the mix.

    • @nancywood9531
      @nancywood9531 3 года назад +4

      Russell has gotten better with age because: he took a year to rest his voice, he doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, runs each day, stays on healthy diet.... and he sings daily in his studio....cuts recording albums....
      Really takes care of himself with the help and support of his wife of over 50 years..... while the Voices of the " other two" have gotten overtaxed and pitchy and Crack according to those who have seen them lately. Russell is real deal.

    This brings back such memories! I saw the original Stylistics around early to mid 90's before Russell went on his own. I shot lots of pictures and when he sang this song ... I lost it ... started crying it was so awesome hearing this live! Held that camera to my eyes so no one saw my tears ... but others around me looked pretty choked up too. Love it! Thank You!

    I have a DVD featuring a live concert by The Stylistics and it included 2 of the original members of the group - but doesn't include Russell. So it's good, but it somehow is not the same. I should know - saw them 5 times back in their fame, both 5 and 4 person line ups - and who was that guy Don who performed a storming version of Bad Luck each time before The Stylistics came on stage? Just great days, and great to see Russell performing again on RUclips.
