Celebrate
the music of best-known Philadelphia soul group of the 1970's!
As That’sNtertainment Productions, in cooperation with ABS-CBN, present THE
STYLISTICS Live in Manila happening on April 12, 2012, 8pm at Smart Araneta
Coliseum. Their special guests are Rico
J. Puno and Elizabeth Ramsey.
The
Stylistics have been recording and touring for almost forty years and enjoyed
twelve straight Top 10 hits from 1971-1974. These include their stellar debut "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "Stop,
Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "I'm
Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up", and the
shimmering sweet soul ballad "You
Make Me Feel Brand New". Their early 70s work with producer Thom Bell and
his collaborator, lyricist Linda Creed yielded some of the most popular love
songs of that era.
Known for
their sleek, soulful Philadelphia sound, this quartet has been performing for
nearly 40 years and became a worldwide-favorite for their showmanship, harmony
and style. Formed in 1968, The
Stylistics was originally comprised lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herbie
Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. After the original group
disbanded in the 80s, Love, Murrell, and Thompkins continued to tour until 2000
and brought in two new members from one set of the Delfonics - Harold Eban
Brown as lead singer, and tenor Van Fields who also sang with an a cappella
group called A Perfect Blend. In 2011, Fields departed and was replaced with
Jason Sharpe (formerly with Heatwave).
In 2008
they recorded their latest album, That
Same Way. The new album marks as their first album of new material this
century but still filled with sweet soul spirit that initially made The
Stylistics famous.Their song, "People
Make the World Go Round", was used by Spike Lee in the soundtrack for
1994 film Crooklyn, as performed by Marc Dorsey.
As That’s Ntertainment Productions brings one of the finest
acts of the 70’s, The Stylistics-- consisting of founding members Airrion Love
and Herb Murrell and newer additions Van Fields and Eban Brown—will definitely
spark fond memories in an amazing night for fans of Soul and R&B genres
decades ago.
