About The Emotions
Artist Biography
Sisters with a strong gospel base, the Emotions were one of the leading female R&B acts of the '70s. Lead singer Sheila Hutchinson and her sisters Wanda and Jeanette were teenagers when they crashed the soul charts in 1969 with "So I Can Love You." They signed with Memphis-based Volt and worked with producers Isaac Hayes and David Porter. The label folded in 1975, and they hooked up with Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire, which led to their number one pop/R&B hit "Best of My Love" in 1977. In 1979, White and the Emotions collaborated on "Boogie Wonderland," a number two R&B and number six pop hit. They issued three albums from 1979-1981, but were unable to duplicate their earlier success. ~ Bill Dahl & Ron Wynn
