Philadelphia soul group The Stylistics play Salisbury City Hall with support from Kennedy Street Enterprises.
The Stylistics are playing Salisbury City Hall on Sunday 1 November, with support from Kennedy Street Enterprises. It's a Sunday night, so it's one of those gigs that sits comfortably at the end of the weekend rather than right in the middle of it.
If you're not familiar with them, The Stylistics are an American Philadelphia soul group who made their name on the lush ballads of the 1970s. They were fronted by the distinctive falsetto of Russell Thompkins Jr, and that sound carried them to ten straight top-ten hits during that era. Among them was the Grammy-nominated 'You Make Me Feel Brand New', alongside 'Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)', 'I'm Stone in Love with You', 'Let's Put It All Together', 'Sing Baby Sing' and 'Rockin' Roll Baby'. The combination of charisma, style and harmony made them one of the best-selling Philly groups of all time, and the show is billed as 'The Stylistics Plus'.
On the night, Kennedy Street Enterprises will open for them, so there's a full bill to work through. The Stylistics themselves are the main draw, and given the run of hits they're known for, you'll likely recognise a good chunk of what they play. It's a soul set that leans on the ballads and harmonies that put them on the map in the first place.
