Group member Airrion Love sang only the opening harmony with Russell. The actual background vocals were done by Russell, producer Thom Bell, Carl Helm, Bunny Sigler, Kenny Gamble, and Phil Hurtt. The rest of the Stylistics never sang on the first three albums that Thom Bell produced, as Russell explained in several interviews.

The Stylistics also found a path on to adult contemporary airwaves, and the group made Billboard magazine's Easy Listening singles chart twelve times from 1971 to 1976, with three entries ("Betcha by Golly, Wow", "You Make Me Feel Brand New" and "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)") reaching the Top 10.
