The Stylistics (me being musically ignorant all these years) happens to be one of the greatest soul bands in the 1970s. Comprised of Russell Thompkins Jr, Herbie Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith and James Dunn, this 5-member group made twelve straight top ten R&B hits on the US Charts. Led by the crazy-high falsetto of Thompkins, this Philadelphia-originated group was probably best known for their hit single "You make me feel brand new" in 1974
This hit is currently on my playlist. It was used in an ad campaign for Gatsby, a Japanese hair product company; which was hugely successful featuring the very popular Takuya Kimura from the pop group SMAP
