The Stylistics

The Stylistics are a soul music vocal group, and were one of the best-known Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. They formed in 1968, and were composed of lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herb Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. All of their US hits were ballads, graced by the soaring falsetto of Russell Thompkins, Jr. and the lush productions of Thom Bell, which helped make the Stylistics one of the most successful soul groups of the first half of the 1970s." During the early 1970s, the group had twelve consecutive U.S. R&B top ten hits, including "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up", and "You Make Me Feel Brand New". more »

It was midnight on the mountain
It was stormy
It was cold inside the cave
I was hiding from the world and I was lonely
And afraid, and afraid

There was a thunder on the mountain
There was lighting from the angry skies above
Just as if the Lord was saying to the people
Where is love, where is love

From the mountain, from the mountain
He was asking "Where is love?
What has happened to my children?
Have they turned away from me?"

From the mountain, from the mountain
He was asking "Where is love?
Why is brother kill in brother?
That was never meant to be
You have poisoned ev'ry river ev'ry tree
I see a land of hunger
Where once the earth was green"

It was morning on the mountain
He said "Now the time had come for us to part,
You must go down from the mountain
Tell the people, they broke my heart"
You must go down from the mountain
Tell the people, they broke my heart"
