Philly soul was known for its funk influences and lush instrumentation, and few groups exemplified this style like The Stylistics.
Known for their soulful balladry, The Stylistics formed in 1968 from two Philadelphia groups, The Percussions and The Monarchs, after members from both bands were drafted. The remaining band members included Russell Thompkins Jr., James Smith and Airrion Love of The Monarchs and James Dunn and Herb Murrell of the Percussions.
The musicians were young, just graduating high school, and were encouraged by their English teacher to merge together and continue under a new name.
