    They are part of the "Philadelphia Sound" of the 60's and 70's. Others that came from the Sound of Philadelphia were 1. The Defonics. 2. The three Degrees, 3. Blue Magic, 4. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes with the great Teddy Pendergrass. 5. McFadden and Whitehead. 6. Eddie Holman.7. Lou Rawls. 8. Mother Father Sister Brother [MFSB].9. The Moments. 10. The O'Jays.
    Great reaction to one of the greatest R&B and Soul groups of the late 60's and 70's. Awesome!

    Barry Gibb of the BeeGees cited The Stylistics as one of their influences as well as the Beatles, Otis Retting, Everly Brothers, & Stevie Wonder & others... When I hear the lead singer here, I can hear how Barry was influenced to do his own falsetto. Beautiful song! Need more Stylistics reactions! Love your hair Mel! ❤❤❤

  • @paulmercogliano5816
    @paulmercogliano5816 11 месяцев назад +29

    Thanks for the beautiful song choice and reaction. The Stylistics truly have style and are a class act. According to Wikipedia, lead singer Russell Thompkins, Jr. is noted for his high tenor, countertenor and falsetto vocals. More Stylistics, please!

  • @godquest52
    @godquest52 4 месяца назад +5

    When I first heard this song, I was going to Basic Training in the Army. I was leaving everything behind and didn't know if I would pass this way again, and then Russell Thompkins tore me up with his amazing falsetto voice. Ya'll I thought I was hearing an angel. The greatest falsetto of all time. Of course I made it back or I wouldn't write this down. I'm an old man, but I still have a young heart. But in the end time has it's way with all of us. God bless ya'll. This is your boy from Tennessee! May God Bless You Both! Peace!

    Just another Tuesday on CKLW radio, 1972. Was lucky to grow up 50 miles from Detroit/Windsor to hear this all-time soul 🎶 🔥. Whole chunks of U.S. had zero access to soul music, early 70s. 😢

    Spring of '72, one of my all-time 70's favorites. Russell Thompkins Jr , on lead & falsetto. These guys were classy--------well dressed--------handsome-----& they sang beautifully. What a time the 70's were. You 2 needed-------really, needed-------to be there. ------MJL, 76 y/o

  • @maggynewtown3500

    Philly soul of course. Those magical musicians at Sigma studios. Thom Bell and Linda Creed co-wrote many of the Stylistics hits.

  • @blueinfinite5940
    @blueinfinite5940 11 месяцев назад +1

    Hey Shawn and Mel, I don’t know if you’ll get to this, but if you do, I thought you might enjoy hearing that this song was a kiss when I started going out with my girlfriend who later became my wife. We aren’t married now, but this song does bring back nice memories of that time. Earlier, I watch your reaction to the Ronettes, be my baby, and I said there, but I’ll say it here, since this is more recent, that you, Mel, kind of resemble, Ronnie Spector, the lead singer of the group. Hope to catch you both on your next live broadcast.

    The Stylistics are an American Philly soul group from the 70's. They had a lot of great hits such as "Stop, Look, Listen", "You Are Everything", "Break Up To Make Up", "People Make The World Go Round", "You Make Me Feel Brand New", "Rockin' Roll Baby", "You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)" etc.

    Back when this first came out, I remember recording it off the radio on a little cassette recorder. This was long before CDs, MP3s, etc. I'd rewind it a dozen times to replay it. Carefree days when life was not so in-your-face.

The Stylistics, The Delfonics, The Dramatics, The Chi-lites, The Dells. Harold Melvin and The BlueNotes, Teddy Pendergrass, Smokey the list is long. So many groups and single artists from the 60's70's with bangin songs! Bring more please! A winner reaction video Shawn and Mel! 👏

    @dwainwilder7337 11 месяцев назад +5

    Great song, great soul group! Please continue down this rabbit hole with any song by them from the 1970s. FYI: This song was originally recorded in 1970 by Connie Stevens named “Keep Growing Strong” written by Thom Bell of The Sound of Philladelphia. Check that out as well. The Stylistics recorded this song in 1971. Phyllis Hyman recorded it in 1977.

    I loved them and discovered them performing on the Ohio State University campus. They blew us away. Their leader Russell Thompkins reminded me so much of Eddie Holman. The music from the Stylistics, Eddie Holman, ChiLites, The Spinners and Blackbyrds made college fun. All the great R&B music from that era ( 1968-1976 ) was EPIC.The great R&B music from that era was produced by Gamble & Huff, Norm Edwards and Thom Bray 🎶

    Hello Shawn & Mel. Found you both this morning. And my heart just burst.I just turned 67 in July '23. and music has always played a big part in my life. Seeing you and knowing how young you are & that you played my favorite songs of the 60s & 70s made my night. Your reactions to each song was a sort of validation that music has the power to heal, love, and make you happy! You are an amazing and beautiful couple.. Stay Strong and keep love up high in your lives. i want to ask if you could do a comparison / reaction to '3 Mo Tenors Rodderick Dickson's "This Song For You", AND THE SAME SONG BY DONNY HATHAWAY. I won't tell my favorite until you mention you want me to. Thank you so much. keep this show going its a blessing.
