Russell Thompkins, Jr. - A Matter Of Style (2002)

Better known throughout the world as the voice and lead singer of the legendary R&B group the Stylistics, Russell Thompkins Jr.. strikes out on his own with this awe-inspiring debut solo album. Many consider Russell to be the father of the modern-day ballad with such smooth soul classics and radio staples as "Betcha By Golly Wow" and "You'll Never Get to Heaven". His new CD will amaze and please fans with future hits including the Burt Bacharach-penned "Nothing in This World," Dianne Warren & Michael Bolton's "By the Time This Night Is Over," and the Thom Bell-inspired "Jealousy".
