Celebrate the music of
best-known Philadelphia soul group of the 1970s as That’s Ntertainment
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.
