SDFers,

Many thanks to everyone who came out to the RAT Jr & TNS concerts in Boston on Friday & Saturday. It was a great turnout and it was great meeting and talking to some of you.

We love you!

Hello Russell

In your back catalogue did you llike recording Disco Baby and Shame and Scandal in the family.
In your concerts do you sing Baby Don't Change Your Mind a lovely gem.

SDF Family,

Check out RATJr & The New Stylistics at the Clarion Hotel in Las Vegas from 11/17 thru Jan 17. Hope to see some of you there.

Ralph:

Are you going to be in the Las Vegas area during this time?

**ralpht** · 11-15-2010, 08:13 PM

Sorry to say...no, Goomba. But thanks for thinking of me. I was just discussing you guys with Abraham Wilson, the other day. Abe is most interested in saying hello to all of you some day soon.

**ratjr** · 11-21-2010, 01:42 PM

Thanks to all that have come to the shows in Vegas so far. The audience response has been overwhelming and we hope to see more of you there in the coming weeks.

We love you!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Ironically my birthday 11/27 is the same day as Jimi Hendrix. I guess that's why I have always been into music

**bill** · 12-14-2010, 08:58 PM

Russell,

I really enjoyed listening to your recent interview while on tour in Las Vegas. Can't wait for the release of your new solo CD and live CD (with the New Stylistics) in 2011. Any plans for another Christmas CD in the future?

For those who haven't heard the interview - here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-T7TRen0Kk

Patty, Kris, Travis and I (Tress Family) wish both you and Florence a Happy and Joyous Holiday Season.

Awww man...have I been out of the loop for sure!

Happy Belated Birthday PianoMan & Goomba. May God bless you all with all that's good & with nothing less than the very best. You're a few of the GOOD brothers out here & I'm glad to know that you & The New Stylistics Crew always have Russell's back!

Also Russell, glad to hear good reports about you & The New Stylistics doing your thing out there in Vegas. True professionals who respect their fans & their craft. You are truly deserving of nothing but the very best. You & The New Stylistics Crew are the tops as far as I'm concerned.

Goomba, I have to get in touch with you. I've had something for you for awhile now.

**ratjr** · 12-16-2010, 02:30 PM

Hello SDF Family,

Hope everyone's 2011 is off to a good start. Look for RAT Jr & TNS at a location near you in 2011. I will post dates as they become available.

As always, thank you for your continued support. We love you!

**ralpht** · 01-22-2011, 05:00 PM

Hey Russ,
I'm hoping this will be the year I finally catch up to you guys.

**Lance B** · 01-23-2011, 12:02 AM

Mr. Thompkins,

I am new around here, but I just wanted to let you know that I was introduced to your music through my father and have been a fan for many years. My wife and I just got married last September and our first dance was to "You Make Me Feel Brand New". I wish you and the New Stylistics continued success.

**ratjr** · 01-23-2011, 11:32 AM

Lance B,

Welcome to Soulful Detroit. You will find interesting and controversial info on every thread in this forum.

So many times, younger people tell me that their parents introduced them to my music. I am eternally greatful for that.

My wife and I were also married in September. We'll be married 40 years this year. I had not yet recorded "You Make Me Feel Brand New" back in 1971.

Thanks for your continued support and thanks to your father for introducing my music to you.

Russell

**Lance B** · 01-24-2011, 06:18 PM

You're welcome. We'll be sure to check you guys out the next time you hit Atlanta.

**paladin** · 01-29-2011, 05:48 PM

Russell & Piano Man looks like you guys are headed to Chicago soon........things are looking up........

Kdubya

**PianoMD** · 02-02-2011, 08:24 PM

Kdubya

**paladin** · 02-02-2011, 09:17 PM

And you know this man........

**PianoMD** · 02-14-2011, 07:00 PM

Chicago ! COMING YOUR WAY!
APRIL 9th 2011
Star Plaza Theatre

Russell and the New Stylistics and The Chilites and the Manhattans(Gerald and Blue )

**paladin** · 02-14-2011, 10:48 PM

Music to my ears, betta get on this right away.......

**destruction** · 02-14-2011, 11:03 PM

Dang guys......I hope this show makes it my way. PrincessD loves you guys, thinks Gerald is one of the best singers she's heard...... and I was just about to post this in the Chi-Lites thread:

As I've stated before, in my hood The Chi-LItes were the first threat to our Temptation Nation. Not the Tops, Not the Miracles.....Not even the Dells (our parents liked them too much).....

What I've never revealed is that when I was force feeding my kiddies Tempts material.....they started digging on my Chi-Lites stack. I could tell because those were the songs they either requested by name or asked me to play again.
