The Stylistics formed in 1968, when members of the Philadelphia soul groups The Monarchs and The Percussions joined forces after their respective band dissolved. Thompkins, James Smith, and Airrion Love hailed from The Monarchs, James Dunn and Herbie Murrell were from The Percussions. In 1970, the group recorded "You're A Big Girl Now”, a song their road manager Marty Bryant co-wrote with Robert Douglas, a member of their backing band Slim & The Boys, and the single became a regional hit for Sebring Records. The larger Avco Records soon signed The Stylistics, and single eventually climbed to number seven in early 1971.
Once they were on Avco, The Stylistics began working with producer/songwriter Thom Bell, who had previously worked with The Delfonics. The Stylistics became Bell's pet project and with lyricist Linda Creed, he crafted a series of hit singles that relied as much on the intricately arranged and lush production as they did on Thompkins' falsetto. Every single that Bell produced for The Stylistics was a Top Ten R&B hit, and several, "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", were also Top Ten pop hits.
