The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock [NEW 1978 Edition] - The Stylistics. Composed of two earlier local Philadelphia groups, #thepercussions and #themonarchsband , they first came to attention in mid-70s as leading exponents of soft soul sound of #philadelphia with Russell Thompkins’ ethereally light falsetto lead vocals. Though In some ways their music is little more than superior supper-club schmaltz, the point about #thestylistics is that not only are they better than everyone else at it, there’s not anyone else in the same league. Most of their early material, recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, was provided by celebrated songwriting team #thomasbell and #lindacreed from #imstoneinlovewithyou to #youmakemefeelbrandnew 1972 & 1974. Their album #thebestofthestylistics was the best seller in #britain in 1975. #rockandroll #blackartists #avcorecords #theseventies https://www.instagram.com/p/COf-NfhrOTU/?igshid=1uh27l1rrxyt4
