I just had a record player for my 12th birthday was, and I need some records to play on it. I asked my mother for me to Sears to buy about 45, and when we arrived at Sears at the music department, played a song with beautiful female vocals.

The Stylistics were a big part of what was "Philly Soul" in the early 1970s with The Spinners and The O'Jays. But these groups do not have the "female voice lead Russell Thompkins. Jr. style will always be remembered with affection in RNB music history.
