      @bilcarpenter1591 I wish I had a time machine I would never leave the 80's. Saw the Jones girls in 81 and it was everything. I had chills the entire time especially when they would harmonize because it was other worldly. Imo they are the greatest girl group of all time.❤

      I listen to these girls more now than I did back in the 80's. I think as a kid back then I didn't really realize we had it so good music wise. When I saw The Jones Girls in concert I was mesmerized. I didn't want them to stop. They're definitely my favorite female group of all time. Keep it coming Shirley. We miss Brenda and Valerie ❤️🙏

      Stylistics’ voices.
      So the actual background singers on all of the first three albums that Thom Bell produced were:
      Carl Helm,
      Bunny Sigler,
      Kenny Gamble,
      Phil Hurtt,
      and Thom Bell himself.
      Additional background vocals were done by
      Linda Creed,
      Barbara Ingram,Carla Benson,and
      Yvette Benton.
      Russell also did some background vocals as well.

Tommy also did the same with the Delfonics background album recorded at Cameo-Parkway future site of Philly Intl. 309 South Broad, before Sigma was opened. Once Sigma opened you can really hear Bell, Sigler etc., on Thom Bell produced Delfonic songs.
