WITH hits including You Are Everything and You Make Me Feel Brand New, they were one of the most popular groups to come out of the famous Philadelphia music scene of the Seventies.
And the Stylistics still carry a hefty appeal as fans flock to see the soul group, who perform at the Cliffs Pavilion, Westcliff, on Tuesday.
Well known for their smooth sound and their ballad style, the group were ranked up with the O-Jays and Spinners as one of the leading Philly groups.
They were formed in 1968 when members of two other groups, the Monarchs and the Percussions, joined forces after their original outfits disbanded. After recording You’re a Big Girl Now, an immediate regional hit, they began their climb to stardom.
Original members Airron Love and Herb Murrell are joined by Harold Eban Brown and Jason Sharp for the UK tour. l The Stylistics are at the Cliffs, in Station Road, next Tuesday at 8pm. Tickets are £24.50-£28.50. Call 01702 351135.
