RUSSELL THOMPKINS, JR., AND THE NEW STYLISTICS

With over four decades of chart- topping singles, the legendary O'JAYS have earned millions of fans throughout an illustrious career that first became a reality in the late 1950's. From their teenage years as The Mascots, to providing background vocals for Nat King Cole, THE O'JAYS have survived and flourished as one of the hottest R&B acts of our time. Inducted in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005, with hits like "For The Love of Money," (also used as the theme song for Donald Trump's Apprentice) "Used To Be My Girl," "I Love Music" and "Love Train" THE O'JAYS' now appropriately headline the 2009 LOVE TRAIN tour.

RUSSELL THOMPKINS, JR., AND THE NEW STYLISTICS truly capture the essence of 70's Philadelphia soul. Hailed as the smoothest, sweetest soul group of their era, RUSSELL THOMPKINS, JR.'s unmistakable falsetto hit the Top Ten list with memorable classics like "You Are Everything," "I'm Stone In Love With You," "Betcha By Golly Wow," "Break Up To Make Up" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New."

HAROLD MELVIN'S BLUENOTES are also keeping the 70's Philly dream alive, honoring the late Harold Melvin with the sweet soul sounds of "Wake Up Everybody," "Bad Luck," "If You Don't Know Me By Now," and "For the Love I Lost."

Rock and Rock Hall of Fame inductee, JERRY BUTLER was first dubbed THE ICEMAN while performing in a Philadelphia theater by a local deejay, due to his cool demeanor performing love songs. From church choir to the lead singer of the Impressions, hitting the charts with "For Your Precious Love," JERRY THE ICEMAN BUTLER's solo career also spawned hits "Hey Western Union Man" and "He Will Break Your Heart."
