And a rare gospel clip with Lou Rawls
Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.
Those Hutchinson harmonies had almost no peer outside of the black church in the music
of those times. I'm so grateful to have lived through and with it....
It's a shame that style of music is passé. I'm their ages and that's what we sang in church back in the day. Sigh
Glencro, many thanks for posting these wonderful and rare clips of the Emotions. Their harmonies still thrill my ears. Years ago I managed to tape their performance of "Don't Ask My Neighbours" with Dionne Warwick on the tv program "In Living Colour." I wish I knew how to download this to share.
R. Mark, I wish you could download that too because I swear I never even
heard of Dionne ever performing that song anywhere. I do know The Emotions and Phillip Bailey backed Nancy Wilson on it more than once.
They loved her as much as her non famous fans did...

Splanky, wow, that was awesome.
So glad that you all enjoyed them. These ladies own some of the greatest harmonies of all times. Even as incredible of a vocalist as Jennifer Holliday is, I get as much joy from the bgv's of the Emotions on her "Feel My Soul" album as I do Jennifer's powerhouse pipes.
That I have to see, reese!...
Hey Splanky
Here is The Emotions with Dionne Warrick singing "Don't Ask My Neighbors"

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.....
