Their hits from this period — distilled from three albums — included " Betcha by Golly, Wow " ( U. S. # 3 ), " I'm Stone in Love with You ", " Break Up to Make Up " ( U. S. # 5 ), " You Make Me Feel Brand New " featuring a rare double lead with Airron Love, the aforementioned " Stop, Look, Listen ( To Your Heart )", " You Are Everything ", and the Top 20 Pop hit " Rockin ' Roll Baby " ( U. S. # 14 ).

" 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.

Every single that Bell produced for the Stylistics was a Top Ten R & B hit, and several —" You Are Everything ", " Betcha by Golly Wow!

", " I'm Stone in Love with You ", " Break Up to Make Up ", and " You Make Me Feel Brand New "— were also Top Ten pop chart hits.

This commercial success was not confined only to the U. S., with the band also having big hits with this material throughout Europe.
