Many Stylistics collections are good, but this one features their biggest and best hits, including "I'm Stone in Love with You," "Rockin' Roll Baby," "Betcha by Golly, Wow," and "You Make Me Feel Brand New."
~Review by Cub Koday
No seventies soul ensemble rocked the sweet, high falsetto lead singer quite like THE STYLISTICS; TEMPTATIONS vocalist EDDIE KENDRICKS ran a close second, but even he took a backseat to gutsy main belter DAVID RUFFIN. RUSSELL THOMPKINS JR. oozed angelic peals on every STYLISTICS classic, forging their sublime trademark sound in tandem with producer THOM BELL's "cream of Philly Soul" arrangements. With the exception of the high spirited ROCKIN' ROLL BABY and mid-tempo mindblower I'M STONE IN LOVE WITH YOU, the rest of BEST OF swells with soaring smooth ballad sophistication, from breathless early hit YOU ARE EVERYTHING to their final biggie YOU MAKE ME FEEL BRAND NEW, the only single on which THOMPKINS shares leads with AARON LOVE. Most of this silky nirvana was provided by BELL and songwriting partner LINDA CREED, (a service they also provided for THE SPINNERS), punctuated by THOMPKINS' heartbreaking delivery and THE SYLISTICS' lush, to the hilt backing harmonies. This may well be the most passionate platter you'll ever own or need.
