There have been countless awards and recognitions for The Stylistics, the soul group that emerged out of Philadelphia in 1968. ““One of the biggest was playing Carnegie Hall in New York City,” original member Airrion Love told the Philadelphia Inquirer in a recent interview. “Believe me, that was quite a thrill.”
On Friday night, lightning may strike twice for the soul singers as they return to the same stage for the “Falling in Love with My Girl Tour” which will take place at the Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall at 8 p.m.
Of the stop, Love said, ““It fills us with immense joy to still be performing for audiences after more than 50 years,” “When we began this journey as schoolmates, we knew we had the talent and the drive, but to still connect with audiences so many decades later is a true honor and blessing. We look forward to celebrating with fans at Carnegie Hall.”
“You Are Everything,” “Break Up to Make Up,” “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” “Betcha by Golly, Wow,” “People Make The World Go Round,” “I’m Stone in Love with You,” “Stop, Look, Listen,” and “You’re a Big Girl Now” are among the group’s most well-known songs. The band includes original group members Love and Herb Murrell.
Those fortunate enough to live in close proximity to Carnegie Hall may frequent the storied venue and in turn, take it for granted. Yet it’s a safe bet that Friday night will be a special, unforgettable evening for the history books.
