A legacy of soul
Formed in Philadelphia in 1966, The Stylistics emerged from two high school singing groups, The Percussions and The Monarchs. Under the guidance of producer Thom Bell and renowned songwriters Burt Bacharach and Linda Creed, they crafted a remarkable catalog of hits that helped shape the sound of Philadelphia soul. Their contributions to music have earned them two GRAMMY Awards and a well-deserved place in the Philadelphia Music Alliance’s Walk of Fame.
