Bell imported the sweet soul techniques he had perfected with The Delfonics, and his arrangements worked perfectly with Thompkins' falsetto.

The bittersweet lyrics from Creed were a key factor in creating hugely memorable music. They had their first U.S. Hit in 1971 with 'You're a Big Girl Now'.

Their hits — distilled from three albums — from this period included 'Betcha by Golly Wow!' #3), 'I'm Stone in Love with You', 'Break Up To Make Up' (U.S. #5), 'You Make Me Feel Brand New' featuring a double lead with Love, 'Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)' and 'You Are Everything'. 'You Make Me Feel Brand New' was the group's biggest U.S. Hit, holding at #2 for two weeks in the spring of 1974, and was one of five U.S. Gold singles the Stylistics collected.

The Stylistics' smooth sound also found an easier path onto adult contemporary airwaves than other soul artists, 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. This commercial success was not confined only to the U.S., with the band also having big hits with this material throughout Europe. The group split with Thom Bell in 1974, and the split proved commercially devastating to the group's success in the U.S. Just as with The Delfonics, The Stylistics were to some extent a vehicle for Bell's own creativity.

They struggled hard to find producers who could come up with the right material, and partnerships with Hugo & Luigi and Van McCoy were notably less successful.

They left Avco for H&L Records and the Stylistics' popularity rapidly declined in the U.S. However, just as that success began to wane, their popularity in Europe, and especially the United Kingdom, increased. Indeed, the lighter 'pop' sound fashioned by Van McCoy and Hugo and Luigi gave the band a UK Number one in 1975 with 'I Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)'. Further successes with 'Na Na is the Saddest Word', 'Funky Weekend' and 'Can't Help Falling in Love' consolidated the band's European popularity.
