Selfscience & Fresh Sly...thanks for putting some shine on these dudes! Great post!!
Thank You!!!
Great links. I look at these guys in a similar fashion as I do The Headhunters...started by a funky jazz musician and flourished as a funky band on their own. Thanks again...Peace
I know I sound like a broken record, but you guys do a great job!!! Thanks...and sorry for the bad pun on my part. Ha Ha PEACE
Great job guys
The first 2 albums were so great that the world has nearly forgotten about the rest. Especially the Philadelphia Int. albums nearly recapture the magic. But there is a lot of great music on all these albums by The Stylistics. Russell Thompkins Jr. also release a really good solo album in 2001 called A Matter Of Style. -bo
