The song was written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed.[1] Stylistics tenor Airrion Love starts out the song and then alternates with Russell Thompkins, Jr. An R&B ballad, it was the fifth track from their 1974 album, Let's Put It All Together[2] and was released as a single and reached No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 2 weeks.[1][3] "You Make Me Feel Brand New" was kept from the No. 1 spot by "Billy Don't Be a Hero" by Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods.[4] In addition, it climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard R&B chart.[3] Billboard ranked it as the No. 14 song for 1974. "You Make Me Feel Brand New" also reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1974.[5] The Stylistics' recording sold over one million copies in the USA, earning the band a gold disc[1] The award was presented by the RIAA on May 22, 1974.[1] It was the band's fifth gold disc.[1] The song, in a longer five-minute version, had first appeared as a track on the Stylistics' 1973 album, Rockin' Roll Baby, though that version was not released as a single.[1] Neil Sedaka used the song as inspiration to compose the melody of "The Hungry Years", noting that it contained a three-semitone key change that he found particularly appealing and called a "drop-dead chord."[6] It was also used in TV commercials for Woolite in the mid 1980s and in TV advertisements for Australian department store Myer in the late 1980s.[citation needed] In Britain, a version was used to advertise BioTex stain removing powder.[7]
