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.
