I love the Stylistics!

I hear ya, Lisa!!!

Songs filled with emotion.

They are still da bomb if you ask me...no one like um'.

I always get mixed up between The Delphonics(spelling?) and the Stylistics,,,sounds stupid.

Shout out to the Stylistics, especially for "Betcha By Golly Wow." Could Prince have chosen a better song to cover?

Phyllis Hyman

Whew,,,dayymmmnn

Great choices ladies, My favorite is Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart) from the debut album The Stylistics. That song is classic soul done right.

Russell Thompkins Jr.is my favorite falsetto singer. Brotha's falsetto is so even-toned and smooth.

Maaan, I need Ol' school music education "shakes head" I thought all the time that "Stop, Look, Listen(To Your Heart)" was originaly by Donna Summer.

Toni Braxton sampled the song 4 her tight jam "You've Been Wrong" which features her sistas in the backround vox.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Stylistics. I saw them a couple of years ago, and I'm not sure if there's only one or two original members left, nonetheless it was a magnificent show. The falsetto is heart grabbing and soul stirring.

Ok, here are my fave songs:

Hurry Up This Way Again "I never know when I'm going to see you again. I can't make no plans, I'll just see you whenever I can. Whenever you're with him, who's loving me? Nobody, Hurry up this way again." (love the lyrics!!)
Stop, Look, Listen to Your Heart
People Make the World Go Round
You Make Me Feel Brand New
Betcha By Golly Wow
Break Up to Make Up
You're A Big Girl Now

(LOL)... funny you say that you thought that that Stylistics song was by Donna Summer, cause there was a rumor going around in the 70's that she was a man.

No I'm serious,,she covered the song(I realized that now ).

And its true indeed, Donna Summer was the #.1 vicitm of the 70's black critics,,Chaka is #.2

Thanks for the list, funkyslsistah. I might just have to pick up a greatest hits compilation!

btw, didn't Angela Bofill cover "People Make the World Go Round?"

DigitalLisa said:

Just the opening music of You Make Me Feel Brand New makes me trip out.
my love..I'll never find the words...

rdhull said:

Doesn't that song sound like somebody's wedding vows?

UptownDeb said:

Yes she did a remake...a credible remake as a matter of fact. It's a little more uptempo than the Stylistics' version.

UptownDeb said:

yes

Harlepolis said:

I Truly Enjoy there Work.the Kind of Soul that you wish you could Bottle up in a Bottle&Never let it out.you want this all to yourself.Music that is timeless.

No,Donna did not cover The Stylistic's "Stop,Look,Listen (To Your Heart)".She does have a 1983 song called "Stop,Look,Listen" but it is a totally different song.Her song appears on her album 'She Works Hard For The Money'.

But,the Stylistics song "Stop,Look,Listen (To Your Heart)" (1971) is my favorite Stylistics song too.The vocals are heavenly,and that melody kills me everytime.It was covered by Patti Austin in 1981.

Go get the Stylistics debut 1971 album. It is remastered {Nova and all you other audiophiles out there} And it is almost like a greatest hits album. Check out the tracklist...


1.Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)
2.Point of No Return
3.Betcha by Golly, Wow
4.Country Living
5.You're a Big Girl Now
6.You Are Everything
7.People Make the World Go Round
8.Ebony Eyes
9.If I Love You

This is a stone cold masterful 70's soul album. Pick it up.
Some of the Stylisics greatest hits are on the ONE album.

Good Morning Orgers...

Brother915 said:

I have that album! It is absolutely stunning from beginning to end.I love the way it includes the long,long version of "People Make The World Go Round".


I would also recommend their second album 'Round 2'(1972),which includes a kickass remake of the Carol King classic "It's Too Late".This track segues into the haunting "Children Of The Night",it will give you chills when you hear it.Soul music at it's BEST!!!

My eyes may have deceived me, but I thought The Stylistics have a box set. I thought I saw it at Tower. Then again maybe not and it was just a dream. If they don't have one, I think the record company should get on it and make one, cuz I would definitely invest in that.

Since this thread I've been thinking about going to Tower to look for a compilation, too. Guess I could start with towerecords.com.
