  • when I wasnt using my Technics 1210s for DJing, I would sneak in my pops collection and play this tune......evolution doesnt work on classic tunes, old ones are still class!!

  • I'm just a 54 year-old white guy, so why do I get goosebumps whenever I hear this group -- especially this song?

  • I LOVE THIS SONG . . .

  • i think we just have to enjoy this masterpiece and don't compare,both voices are just amazing,is so nice brings back those old days to the present,russell and eban thanks and god bless both of you,first time i heard this song i was only 15 yrs old,i was in high school and brings me the best moments and remembrances of my life,i just cry cause thru this i can brings back those days

  • Man This makes me think about mine & twisrocks old days LOL

  • Dear talmalennon, do not listen to abdj11, he is a complete idiot who does not have a clue as to what he is talking about. I can bet that he is white and was not even around when the stylistics came out. I am not saying this to be racist, Im saying it because they are the only people who come to our pages and speak on it as if they really know what it is they are talking about! First of all he was banned from the group as well as the black community way back in the mid to early 70s.

  • @77757891 First of all I am WHITE, and I have more knowledge about black music in my big toe than you. Secondly, I WAS around when the Stylistics came out. And thirdly, not to be racist, what does " Our " pages mean ?? Banned from the group ? Russel Thompkins was a very big part of the Stylistics, singing lead on most of their songs. They haven't had a hit since he left. I did mistakenly say the Chi-lites when I meant the Delfonics, Eugene Record was the lead singer of the Chi-Lites.

  • @abdj11 HA! HA! HA! YOURE FUNNY!!!!! A word to the wise, Dont speak on things that you only have surface knowledge of. Now I will put it to you this way, either you were around when the stylistics came out but only got surface information on why russell was blackballed from the group as well as the black community, or either you are lying and you werent around when everything hit the light concerning russell! what ever your case may be, I dont know how you can make that "big Toe" comment HA!HA!

  • @abdj11 You see, the reason why I am critisizing you and I made the statement that you dont have a clue as to what you are talking about is because you said to TalmaLennon that Russell Thompkins left the group in the late 80s, when in fact he was booted out of the group around 1972 or no later than 1973. 1974 to be pushing it, But I know it wasnt 1974. I would suggest you ask somebody black and of age who remembers back in 72, 73, the real reasons Russell was booted from the group/community.

  • I know one thing, when they picked Eban to replace Russell thompkins, They picked a winner to the FULLEST!!!! And to me, he is better than Russell Thompkins!!!!

  • Fantastic! Pure elegance! Wonderful!

    

  • Thank You - This is fantastic.

    On holiday now for Christmas & New Year Break - Wrapping up presents listening to this .Makese feel so good.

    Merry Christmas

  • Amazing voicES, not voice, voicES!!!!!

  • the best song of love forever 70s remenber mexicali bc

  • @TalmaLennon He has a great voice and sounds remarkably like the Stylistics lead singer, but Russell Thompkins Jr was the original falsetto lead on all the Stylistics hits. He left the group around the late 80's for a solo career. You should check out the " Three Tenors of Soul CD , with him , Ted Mills of Blue Magic, and William Hart of the Chi -lites

  • @abdj11 William Hart was from The Delfonics not The Chi-Lites :)

  • Im only 14 and into pop and all of dat and i absolutely love this song!

  • fantastic song,

  • love them!! such awsome memories growing up with their music thnks 4 shearing !!

  • Wow I just came across this from another song. Couldn't believe it when

    I saw it. It's as awesome as I remembered!! I thought they were the

    original band that sang this song because it just didn't sound as good

    from anyone else. Thanks for sharing this video.

  • Beautiful, romantic, inspiring and awesome love song! This is a forever favorite of mine. I'm so glad that I was a part of these times! CathyNElvis, California

  • That's not russel thompkins, who is it?

    

  • When I was little I thought the two dudes were singing to each other. LoL Love this song.

  • Oh That VOICE!!! Oh That VOICE!!! Oh That VOICE!!! BREATHTAKING!!!

  • @MrsD7777 I'm agree witt you

  • @MrsD7777 I love this song!!

  • @MrsD7777, excuse me, but even though that voice is nice, he is no Russell Thompkins Jr., who was the original 'voice' of The Stylistics'. I miss hearing him sing with these guys, but at least he is still alive and singing out there somewhere, last I heard. Best regards.

  • excelente, aunqe yo nacía po eso añoss....esta música te contempla....aaaaa

  • Beautiful song

  • A Song of the Very Highest Order Any one Can relate but i think when you Have lost what you Have And you trying to get back what you had it makes this song even more Powerful and Meaningful Definitely My wedding Song.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!! THOSE GUYS WERE BAD BACK IN THE DAY AND STILL SOUND GOOD TODAY.

  • @TalmaLennon has the guy who starts at 1:50 left the band now ???

  • @TalmaLennon The guy who sings at 00:50 has he left the group now ???.

    Rua gustavo figner 1974 Penha São Paulo SP

  • good times !!!!!!

  • Brilliant. Just as good as the original

  • CHECK OUT SIMPLY RED'S VERSION OF THIS SONG. IT'S AWSOME!

  • stylistic never fade hehehe

  • When black guys actually had soul and could SING

  • just shows talant only gets better with age still sound fantastic

  • Can someone tell me who sang the original ?

  • I love this group. This song bring back memories.

  • wot a group & this song just says everything, if your in love like i am proberbly cos i`m one of the lucky one`s it says everything

  • God bless the stylistics =)

  • @ExposedBands god bless you aswell it`s brill

  • Who's the guy with the high voice?? He is fantastic!!

  • this is totally awesome thanks

  • right up there with the temps!

  • Thats my ex playing keyboard...

  • All respect to these guys, but Simply Red just absolutely took this song to a higher plane for me. This was sending me to sleep. All respect though. I suppose Simply Red had their own spin on it. This is good though.

  • I just saw these guys Saturday Night at the Fox Thearter here in Motown, and they BLEW US AWAY! And the show had the Floaters, the Emotions, the Manhattans, Harold Mevin's Blue Notes, the Stylistics and the Dramatics. The Blue Note were REALLY GOOD TOO, but the Stylistics got a standing ovation! WHAT A LIVE GROUP, and they have recorded some new stuff too!

  • my husband and i saw these guys in action last november in dublin they were excellent .

  • R&B and Rap take notice of what singing and music was really all about and that is class clsss class. So please music industry if you cant find music or make music anymore that makes you feel good as well as makes the world a better place to live in then hand over to someone who can. Great stuff by the legendary Stylistics who along with the other soul greats leave R&B and rap for dead. Wonderful stuff and take a bow TalmaLennon the curtain and the applause is all yours.

  • 1:50 -2:00 wow just great....

  • @nuni121 That s real singing! NO lip sync here! To bad that most of today's, "MUSIC" is a joke. Okay, all of today's music is a joke. LONG LIVE the Stylisitcs!!!!

  • @danno131305 definitely true

  • @danno131305 not all of them..

  • Fabulosos! y nada de presumidos.

  • @TalmaLennon This is the original group MINUS original lead vocalist Russell Thompkins Jr. I might add This group sounds way better than Russell's version of the group.

  • @michaeljulius119 .......way better?.....ROFLLLLLLLL idiot

  • @444Bam Because I've an opinion I'm an idiot? I'm a professional musician from the age of 15 & played w/ almost EVERY nat'l recording artist out of Chicago while I lived there. I worked for Norman Whitfield @ Motown Records & recorded with Ike & Tina, The Undisputed Truth, Edwin Starr etal A major market radio personality for the 22 years, hosting The Stylistics and a myriad of others as well. I've EARNED my right to an opinion. And the Stylistics W/out Russell is an electrfying act

  • @michaeljulius119 .....I just dont agree with "WAY BETTER" / for me it was ok

    ......the original became a classic, doesnt that tell ya anything??

    btw/ I am also a mucian since 12, band member and leader , worked with well known artist

    former Polygram Artist ....and still producing ! but we'll keep it husht lol

  • @michaeljulius119 I finally found someone on youtube who knows what they are talking about. Because this is the original group minus Russell Thompkins Jr. All that "Russell Thompkins Jr and the new Stylistics is a bunch of Bull. These are the original stylistics plus a new member Eban who sounds as good as russell. Plus most of these kids dont even know the real reason Russell was blackballed from the group as well as the black community back in the early 70s.

  • @77757891 and then to top it off, all one has to do is look at the old soultrain version you make me feel brand new and you will see the exact same lead singer, singing with russell as singing with eban. also, if these are not the original stylistics then how do they get rights to sing all the songs that arent theirs? And why would russell call his group the new stylistics???

  • Fantastic song. I recently had the chance to be with my high school sweetheart after forty years. He made me feel brand new.

  • God man - the wife loves these dudes.... no hope for me then (must admit - i quite like .em to :-) )

  • FUKK WRONG WITH DAT MAN. Where the fukk is the soul trains.. All the originals rolling over in there grave. lls

  • ci piace

  • I just love this group. When my hubby and I went to Rock N Roll Hall of Fame five years ago, I bought the Stylistics CD. Needless to say I wore it out. I told my husband we have to go back so I can purchase a new one. So next year instead of a cruise aboard a Royal Caribbean ship (we both work for them), off to Ohio we will go.

    I never grow tired of listening to them.

  • grande  stylistics

  • kahilak man pod ta ani hahaha

  • @neruyamanouchi

    .....tinuod kaayu bai...! ....it really brings back memorable, youthful days...!

  • i know all them personally!

  • lol i have this cd

  • I remember growing up and listening to this, Brings back some great memories. Love the stylistics!!!

  • I heard the Simply Red cover of this first, which is Better? I think Simply Red wins

  • @gibbsfan19 don't forget these are live... listen to the original recordings by both bands and then decide which is better. Personally I like the Stylistics better. :) but Simply Red did it justice.

  • @demiphonic you're right, but Red's is live too, see it in the suggestions box when watching this video :)

  • @gibbsfan19 Simply red is good I don't take anything from this aritis he can sing but still the Stylistics are the BEST

  • tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee xx

  • susan lopez donde quiera que estes que DIOS te bendiga se que te gustaba esta cancion chicago 1976

  • nine people ain't cool

  • It's going to break my heart if and when they ever stop singing their music,........They were soooooo amazing in the 1970's when I was 6 or 7 years old,...I was already soooo into them!!!!! They were sooo good then AND STILL ARE SOOO GOOD NOW,...sooo many years later!!!! Absolutely no group like them then,....or now!!!!!

  • I am a 45 year old white woman and fell in absolute love with the stylistics and EVERYONE of their songs in the 1970's,....no group like them!!!!!! Even now when I hear their songs,....l get goose bumps. I have two adult children,....who had no choice but to listen to their music over and over again AND now they love them as much as I do!!!! STYLISTICS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Stylistics!

    forever...

  • I love you Baby!

  • stylistics and blue magiic are almost the same ...theyre both great!!

  • Very Very!!!

  • RE: The Stylistics are the original, they are awesome!

  • @TalmaLennon

    I'm going to see them in Dublin can't wait

  • @CarlaJou1 RE: Yhe Stylistics are the original, they are awesome!

  • RE: WOWWW WONDERFUL ! CONGRATULATIONS

  • I have just got back from seeing the Stylistics at the Indigo 2, London and they were awesome - as good today as they were 40 years ago with 2 of the original line up!! As 2 of them are now 61 years old go and see them while you still have a chance - put them on your bucket list!! Brilliant!!! A First Class Act!!

  • RE: This a nowadays video , it is a couple of years ago. They are very nice and handsome men...

  • @TalmaLennon I agree with you.

  • Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Haven't heard in over 35 years, and instantly brings back memories and feelings. If this is recent (late 2000's), then the Stylistics are still on top of their game.

  • which year is this and where is it held? reply asap omg i love tis song!!!

  • ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΑΡΑ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • going to see them at rhyl pavillion on the 5th of november cant wait

  • Great song, it's nice to see them sing it live,after hearing it all these years. Thanks

  • still just as sexy!

  • Hi, Actully Eban is not singing in a falsetto voice, he singing high tenor, falsetto is really defined as False voice. if he was to sing in a falsetto voice he would not make it thru half of a song because singing falsetto, the voice is weak and it takes more air to sing. i myself sings in Baratone, hi tenor and sometimes bass.

  • @quin5551

    RE: Falseto is a very high voice, Eban sings in all tone, he is an excellent singer

  • I love this original Stylistics Song.... Best!

  • I Love this makes ya wanta say hey now

  • Kid cudi sampled this

  • i love doing falsetto too.,,..,its a little beat easy for me to that.,.,

  • An oldie but goodie

  • I LOVE IT!!!!

  • Here's another good oldie. Growing up in NYC.

  • @Serrulatu Blasphemy! Russell Thompkins Jr. falsetto cannot be matched. Brown is good but can't compare to Russell!

  • Yeah they do still have it I would love to hear any artist from today's music top the music scene like they did Some 30 or 40 years from now!!! Thx great video!!!

  • hot damn they still got it! I love this song!!!
