    Russell Thompkins was the best lead singer ever for the Stylistics. Russell was vocally pure, smooth, and sang on key. I have several Stylistics favorites. I have amazing memories of them as a Latino kid in the Bronx, in the 70's!

      Couldn't have sounded better than the revord. Because love, Murrell, Smith and Dunn never sang on any of the records in first 3 albums and 12 top hits. The background on the records was sung by Thom Bell himself, Linda Creed herself, Bunny Seigler, and members of MFSB studio singers.

    You got decent content bro, really you do! But, pronounce folks names properly. Thom=(Tom), Dionne=(Dion) Warwick. My surname as well as 1st name gets mispronounced far too many times, so, it's something I notice. It's a respect thing. And it's so much info available that I'm quite sure there are videos of people properly speaking Dionne's and Thom's name😉
    I just had to mention that. Otherwise, you got good stuff. Keep up the content✊️!

    The Stylistics debut LP was the BEST R&B ALBUM EVER to me from start to finish along with The Isley Brothers “ The Heat is On”. As a former DJ with thousands of R&B and Funk LPs and a former record shop owner that was my evaluation. Russell Thompkins and Michael Jackson had the best falsetto voices ever to me.

Isn’t the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame about anybody who has a significant impact upon any genre? It’s certainly not about the traditional definition of Rock n Roll, not for a long time. Rock n Roll just means sexy, happenin music nowadays, a general thing, otherwise no one since Buddy Holly would’ve qualified, never mind that Beatles band, or whatever they were called. The Stylistics? Come on, look at their song catalogue and the sweetest falsetto voice of all time!
