But you know it when you hear it. Lush US soul ballads from the 1970s, sung by falsetto vocalists with frizzy afros, frilly shirts and extra-wide lapels. The Chi-Lites, The Delfonics, Eddie Holman were all splendid practitioners but the undisputed masters of the art were The Stylistics. Hugely successful in a genre we still can’t quite define. This is a perfect example from their first album. You’ll obviously know the big hit version by Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye but this is the original. So you may have thought it was Motown but it’s actually…….. oh you know…….don’t quite know how to describe it….um…….hasn’t really got a name……er……
The musical genre that has no name.
