The Sylistics
The Stylistics...the ultimate in showmanship, harmony and style. You know their hits - "Betcha By Golly Wow," "You're My Everything," "I'm Stone In Love With You." Of course, there are scores of other hits, all the magical sounds and grace of The Stylistics. Collectively they are one of the best-loved and longest-lasting R&B groups to date.
The Stylistics were formed in the late '60s when two Philadephia high school groups, The Monarchs and The Percussions, disbanded. At the suggestion of a teacher, the remaining members of each group came together to form a new entity. That entity became The Stylistics.
Originally consisting of Russell Thompkins, Jr., Airrion Love, James Smith, James Dunn and Herb Murrell, The Stylistics hit the Top Ten at the top of the Seventies. Shortly after their initial chart success, they were put together with the songwriting and production team of Thom Bell and Linda Creed. That pairing would lead to a string of major hits over the next few years that would put The Stylistics indelibly on the R&B Map.
