      Yes!!! Dude's voice is amazing and deep in that Stylistics sound.

    Of course Mr. Brown isn't Russ, we can all see that. But he definitely does a great job bringing some old-school flavor in this new age. When I first heard him, I thought it was Russ, but that's how good he is.

    THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE WHO CAN SING IDENTICAL LIKE THE ORIGINAL MR. RUSSELL THOMPKINS! Never!

      Apparently, you must not have heard this new dude. He will blow Russell Thompkins out the water!!!! Russell's voice is not as strong anymore and this dude voice is powerful.

    The fact is that these guys NEVER sang on the recordings- they were the touring band. Russell Tomkins Jr the original lead singer did the studio recordings and producers Tom Bell, Bunny Sigler, Phil Hurtt, Kenny Gamble provided the backing vocals along with the Sweethearts of Sigma- Philly's in house female backing group.

    THE LEAD SINGER "EBAN" USE TO SING WITH THE DELPHOINS BEFORE HE STARTED SINGING WITH THE STYLISTICS. HE HAS A POWERFUL BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND IS OUTSTANDING SINGING WITH THE GUYS. BUT I LOVE RUSSELL THOMPKINS VOICE BETTER BECAUSE HE IS THE ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER, HIS VOICE TAKES ME BACK WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER, SO MANY MEMORIES. 🎤👑🎧

    • @debray7681
      @debray7681 Před 2 lety +1

      Yes but can no longer hit the high notes that is why Eban was the Lead singer

    • @ismaelrasul9421

      Are you aware there are 2 groups PREFORMING in a d out of the country

    • @ismaelrasul9421
      @ismaelrasul9421 Před 2 lety

      I LOVE BOTH GROUPS BECAUSE THEY ARE MY #2, MY OVER ALL GROUP IS THE DELPHOINS, THEY ARE MY #1. I WOULD LOVE FOR THE DELPHOINS TO BECOME ONE INSTEAD OF 2 GROUP'S. THEY ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS THE STYLISTICS, MAYBE ONE DAY IT WILL HAPPEN. I AM BLESSED I CAME UP IN A ERA WHEN LOVE MUSIC MENT SOMETHING TO PEOPLE, I WAS BORN IN 1956, OLD SKOOL CLASSIC'S FOR LIFE😎😃🎤🎼🎼🎶🎵

      True. The recordings were done with session singers. Russel did all the lead vocals. 🎶

    @Ready2ReadU Před 12 lety +11

    Actually, I would have to agree. It's like listening to a stand-in sing "Ooh Baby, Baby" instead of Smokey Robinson. There's no Miracles without Smokey, and there's no Stylistics without Russell.

      Russell Thomkins is the original lead singer of the Stylistics.

  • @sunnyvalefriggityfriggumdr2991

    There is DEFINITELY a DIFFERENCE in Mr Eban Brown's voice & Mr Russell Thompkin jr's voice. My mom rethinks they sound the same. Eban Brown is handsome & he's my age ! Lol.😂

  • @jimy0803
    @jimy0803 Před 10 lety +6

    I don't care what anybody says. Russell Thompkins, Jr is a a great singer, but Euban Brown does a great job as the lead singer to this version of the group. To say otherwise is just admitting you're a huge Russell Thompkins, Jr-fan and you refuse to acknowledge anyone else in his position in the group.

  • @vanessaglover5983

    Aarion and Herb are master showmen and professionals, Eban Brown is an excellent lead singer of the group, and Jason is a doll baby-we attend at least 2 of their shows when they are in the California Bay Area. "Russel who?

  • @trubrit5036
    @trubrit5036 Před 2 lety

    Of course Eban Brown isn't Russell Thompkins Jr. He is not trying to be Russell Thompkins Jr, he is being himself and using his own voice, which is allot like Russell's voice. Russell Thompkins Jr. will always be a Stylistic, there is no doubting that, he just has to perform in a different version of the group. I am glad that both groups are able to keep on performing - just wish I could go and see the one with Airrion Love, and his voice is magic.

  • @ljkelly23
    @ljkelly23 Před 12 lety +8

    Russell is the main ingredient in the Stylistics. Without him there is no Stylistics. Eban Brown is a suitable stand in but he's not Russell Thompkins Jr. Sorry Eban doesn't compare to Russell!!!!

    • @rjb-hj2ig
      @rjb-hj2ig Před 5 lety

      As much as we want to believe that, listen to Eban and honestly say he doesn't sound just like or better yet sound better than Russell.

      @oatdog23 Před 4 lety +1

      DreDiddy83 I don't know the whole story but I attended one of their shows at the old Stardust hotel and casino in Las Vegas. It was the early 2000's lead singer Russell Tomkins came out high as a kite and could not perform. After that I no longer saw him in the group. He is my favorite !

  • @pastormaxmacattackjohnson6189

    No RUSSELL THOMPKINS JR. NO STYLISTICS, HE MADE THEM WHO THEY ARE.
    NO COPYCATS PLEASE, KEEP IT REAL.

    @rena764 Před 7 měsíci

    No disrespect to any of their fans, none at all but their is no Stylistics without Russell Thompkins Jr. As far as I'm concern these are imitators of the Stylistics. No Russell no Stylistics especially the lead singer.

      He is still singing with his own Group The New Stylistics, Sings as good now as he did then. The Stylistics was Russell Thompkins Jr.
