(Check out Discography for the full list of album releases.) Herbert Murrell and Airrion Love are the remaining original members of The Stylistics. The Stylistics were becoming known as the Philly group with the sweet love songs. The ball continued to roll with the release of their second album entitled "Round Two". The success of the first album was phenomenal for that time along with an unheard release of six singles in total. The album was entitled "The Stylistics" and from that album came "Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart", "You Are Everything" and "Betcha By Golly Wow". Hit veteran producer Tom Bell was contacted and was hired to produce the group's first album. ![]() After the success of "You're A Big Girl Now", Avco wanted to naturally follow up with an album release. Rumor has it, Bill received over $10,000.00 from Avco of which the group never saw a dime. He decided to contact Avco Records and made a deal. Bill was interested it promoting the record national but didn't have the resources. It was soon picked up in the tri-state area and before long, it became a number 1 hit in Philadelphia and a few other cities. The sessions cost Bill Perry a little over $500.00 to produce and was released locally. This song was written by the group guitarist at the time, Robert "Doc" Douglas and Road Manager, Marty Bryant. Their first song "You're a Big Girl Now" was recorded at Virtue Recording Studio, a local studio in Philadelphia. After working locally for a number of years, the group was approached by Bill Perry who asked if they would be interested in recording. When members from each group were drafted or went on to further their education, the remaining members under the guidance of their English teacher Beverly Hamilton joined forces and changed the name to "The Stylistics". The Stylistics was formed in Philadelphia, PA in 1966 from two groups, "The Percussions" and "The Monarchs".
