- The Emotions were composed of three sisters Hutchinson, Wanda, Sheila and Jeanette, who hailed from Chicago, Illinois. When they first began singing at the Mt Sinai Baptist Church, they were joined by their father Joe and were known as the Hutchinsons, before adopting the Heavenly Sunbeams moniker.
They first appeared on TV in 1958 as a one off and then hosted a radio gospel program. Their newfound fame got them a weekly TV series and brought them to the attention of The Staple Singers who in turn suggested that legendary Stax/Volt Records in 1968. They wanted to break out of gospel and move into pop music so they changed their name to The Emotions.
Soon sister Pam replaced Jeanette in the trio and they began to work with Isaac Hayes (Shaft). They released four singles, but were unable to reach the top 40 except for the #39 "So I Can Love You" in 1969. "Black Christmas" and "Blind Alley" became underground favorites for R&B crowd and Mariah Carey used a sample of "Blind Alley" in her hit song "Dream Lover". Carey says that the riff inspired the song was put way down in the mix.
Stax/Volt famously imploded in 1975 and the sisters found themselves without label support. Maurice White stepped in and signed the group to his Kalimba Productions which was distributed by Columbia Records and their first collaboration resulted in the "Flowers" LP which again failed to make top 50 in the double sided single "Flowers/I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love", but opened them up to a new audience that fell in love with the intricate harmonies that played over a totally funky new sound. The song was embraced by the disco crowd who pushed it to #3 on the disco chart, and R&B radio where it peaked at #13.
This jam kicks right from the first beat
Earth wind and fire

Wanda played Maurice a demo of this and it started off slow an soft. Maurice said it was ok, but he suggested that it kicked ass off the jump.....................and the rest is history

There will never be music like this ever again ❤❤
Being from Chi Town I am proud to have this in my collection. What a Bassline!!!
Exacxtly! This dxxm bassline is the sxxt and makes it kick so bad and awesome ;-)
Chicagoan too, this song has so much energy
This is one of many reasons The Emotions should be in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.Let's start the hashtag #THEEMOTIONSFORHOF2020 ❤❤❤❤
I agree!!!!The Emotions were THE girl group of the 70's ,but they always ranked high on my list past that decade!
@Anthony Jolly
They need to be in R&B HOF
or Music HOF.
It shouldn't be titled rocknroll since it's different music styles.
In '76 when this song aired was the year I started college, and I saw these girls live in Jax, Fla the very next yr in 1977.
They were the opening group for EWF. I was flabbergasted during their performance. Their voices were beautiful and the rhythm of their music was breath taking.
They have got to be the greatest female group ever we rocked them when we're in Cali.
I can still remember the lyrics after all these decades. Just superb music.
I love Old school Music, because of tracks like this.... I'm a super fan of the 70s for life.😎👍
Super music of the past !
Old school jam Classic. I still bang this in 2024.❤😊
One of the greatest girl groups of all time paired with one of the greatest bands in history.
Actually, the Greatest female singing group!
I believe that is Verdine White from Earth Wind and Fire playing that Bass line.
Wanda, Sheila and Jeanette!!! Sounds AWESOME after 41 years (recorded in 1976).
Steven Johnson Yes Indeed 🤗
That horn section is on point. Will be glad when music gets back to this level.
The “Soul” of Soul Music, is the bass! The Emotions, vocals❤️Thanks for this awesome mix..🕺💃🏾🕺💃🏾🕺💃🏾🕺💃🏾
Now this is music. I was barely a teenager. But this type of music is a classic. These Sisters had it together.
The youngsters of today will never understand how great our generation of music was...today music is trash
Another TIMELESS CLASSIC - and the energy is high octane from start to finish!
This remix truly IS Funky Purrfection!💕💃

This song just gives me happy feet !!!!!!
My young years were the BEST, youngsters will never understand!!
Funk in its purest form
November 2019...This will always be a Jamm...Those Hutchison sisters❣💖💖💖💖
The emotions must be one of the most underrated bands ! They're super iconic what the 70s were I love all these remixed songs from a truly brilliant era in music it's taking me back growing up in Oldham Wigan Bolton England 1976 1986 ! Playing football all day during the school summer holidays and we were out all day till we couldn't see the football and my mum telling me to come in !!! Brilliant films Star wars superman jaws star trek James bond the spy who loved the Moonraker the Deer Hunter apolcypse now marathon man return of the Jedi empire strikes back raiders of the lost ark Gregory's girl officer + a gentleman tootsie blade runner smoke y and the bandit !
Pure perfection..... the Emotions" rules, you girls kept the 70s rockin.😎
We thought those Daze would last forever 1976 danced all Night 💯🤗
Am a DJ but I stared as a light man at club 88 this song had some breaks I never forget how much fun I had with this song
Club 88 in east orange nj?
Underrated, one of the great girl groups of the last 50 years...this is lit, just entering junior high when this was bangin'...
Cathlean Johnson yes, they were just at the beacon in nyc last sat. nite feb. 17TH, along with bluenotes, bloodstone,an others. sold out so I went roller skating !! Jersey checkin in !!!!! Class of " 72 "
LUCKY 472 You obviously have good taste, never got to see those ladies in person and sorry you didn't... Virginia Class of '77' in the house..
Great extended mix! I always thought this song was too short.
THAT BASS, DAAAAAM! !!!
My moms music. She taught us well. Funk/Disco/R&B is in our blood. It's in our DNA!
This is a GREAT mix! I always thought this song was too short. This is perfect!
This is the first song I listen to every morning. There isn't much that can go wrong during the rest of the day.
This song is so funky what a jam the bass and the beat wow
one of the greatest girl groups ever!
First year of High School, what a time. Dream come true to attend 1 of 2 historically black high schools in Richmond, Virginia. Maggie L Walker.❤❤❤ That feeling that was in the air, PRICELESS!
From the first note, you know you gonna love it and move to the dancefloor. The voice, the beat and the tune bear a striking resemblance with the Sisters Sledge.
In the golden days of Gay Disco in the late seventies we used to tear up the dance floor to this.
Sister sledge resembles them.
Doesn't get any better than this!
Gregory Davis it really doesn't !! If I hear this one more time, I'm going to actively seek out dance classes ! I think it's a true shame there's no place to go out and dance with people who love this stuff. At least not in my neck of the woods, and I'm in a fairly cosmopolitan area. It's the kids these days have terrible taste. Just terrible !!!
yes yes yes love love..good memories..dancing at aunt betty living room..😊😊😊
I grew up on this, true FUNK!!!
LET'S DANCE
💃 🙆💃🙅💃💁💃🙋💃
I always thought this song was too short. Great remix!
~ Like an Earth Wind & Fire funk DANCE festival with the flawless female vocal stylings of the classic Emotions -
Still hot and fresh in 2018 - Thank you for this posting - Heard this just recently in a club in
New Orleans (the original vinyl 12").
Raves and Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
Earth wind and fire did the backing track the music for this
That's Earth, Wind and Fire killing them horn licks
Classic cut, vocals and brass for me
Dinner's ready
And the wine is chilled
My baby's coming over
Well, I know just how I feel
Because I don't wanna lose your love
Think how it feels, baby
It's gettin' harder to conceal, yeah
Do I fit in the life you've been livin', boy? (Baby, say I do)
Do you feel all the love I've been givin' you?
Oh, when you come home
Do you care to see me?
Things ain't the way they used to be, baby but
I can't believe that's your only teasin'
You've got to say just what's the reason
Don't take my love for granted, boy
And then turn around and regret it, whoa
I don't wanna lose your love (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love (don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love (oh, come on)
Come on and say that you will (say you will)
I'll do the best to fulfill (I will be there)
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
I think you need my love
You can't defeat my love (my love)
You won't believe my love (don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love
Hey, hey, yeah, hey, hey, well
You just don't know, oh, whoa
What you do to me, well
I wanna ask you somethin'
Hey, baby, hey, baby
I think we can make it, how 'bout you?
But don't just send me away
To be alone I don't (away)
Think I can take it
'Cause if you tell me to go (yeah, I will)
I will leave you, oh (for sure)
Don't ask me to stay and do me wrong, yeah
Do I fit in the life you've been livin', boy? (Baby, say I do)
Do you feel all my love I've been givin' you?
Whoa, I want the love you love, most of all
Now I'm the one you never call, baby, but
I don't think you really wanna leave me (no, no)
I think you're confused and you want to believe it (no, no)
You can't take love and just walk away (don't take it and walk away)
With the guilt that you carry
You'll be back some day, whoa
I don't wanna lose your love (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love (don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose your love (well)
Come on and say that you will
I'll be there to fulfill
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love
Yeah, hey, oh, yeah
Ooh, you just don't know
No, what you do to me
Well, well, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
I don't wanna lose, lose your love
REAL MUSIC
Yesssss! I love this song! These ladies had some good grooves!
Put you in the mood for a party 🎉
CAN YOU DIG IT SUCKERS!!!!!! THIS IT! This is what Funky soul is all about. Having EWF as your backup doesn't hurt.
This song was done with over 30 musicians ,playing as a super group. That's why it sounds so deep,and these ladies soar over it all without being pushed up front in the mix, its perfect harmony.
Classic guaranteed to fill any dance floor quick and in a hurry.
Well, since no one has asked the question yet, I'll do the honors. Who's bumping this in 2020, besides me???
2019! The Bass line is the fucking shit out from the gate. These Girls where bad ass hell and where ahead of the Supremes, they move from the melancholy ass music to Disco baby and that's where it all restarts.
The Supremes where pushed by Barry Gordy and his 💰.
It never hurts to have Verdine on Bass!
I so love Emotions
OMG!!!!!! it's The banger but from 7,04 ooooooooh goose bumps
ELECTRIFYING!!! 😘💖💖💖😘
Outstanding mix!
This song is still as powerful, propulsive, and outright narcotic as the first time I heard it in 1976. It is an R&B masterpiece, a proto- Disco masterpiece, and a Pop masterpiece, even if it never actually charted Pop. The bassline is scorched-Earth, the guitars and horns are perfect counterpoints and punctuations, the engineering and sound quality of this recording are State of the Art nearly half a century later, and the vocals are simultaneously divine and sensual. To me, one of the greatest legacies of classic Soul and Disco are the combination of the so-called "masculine" (DEEEEP bass and Funk elements) topped with "feminine" elements (the Emotions' inimitable and angelic vocals). (IMHO, "Spring Affair" nearly everything by First Choice, and "Dancing In Paradise" are two other examples...)
They just don’t make music like this anymore and yesssssssssssss I’m still listening
Wow!! That is A master blast from the past... Awesome remix! 👍👍💕
I just I was 13 and sister was 12years and thought that she was one of the Emotions.And Maurice White did a great job with them....
DIS SOUNDS GREAT STILL.
dang childhood memories but still jamming to it now
Amazing somg
Beautiful MesoAmerican high frequency energy Niiji Music that will never get old! It's timeless the finest!
This is good dancing and house cleaning music.

The BASS kicks up so much more than the average cuts heard off the other versions. Treble on the vocals are uploaded ! Exciting to hear the best Dance Version [we] danced to onstage at HULA'S ...
Love is contagious infectious, that love won't either within this rhythmic connection be lost- love is always present and connecting to this song forever. Feel it in that "love pocket"... Funkalious🤗🎵🎷👯♀️🕺💃❤️🐼

The Best Female Group ever!!!
Música boa de qualidade na minha opinião só tem na América com todo respeito ao nosso Brasil 🇱🇷🇺🇲🇧🇷🎤🤣😁😍
Love this one too! Haven't heard this song in decades. Looking back, I see how this song can easily be mistaken for an early 80's jam, with a little late 60's in there with the tambourine.
What a way to start 👏 🙌 👌 😅 🙃 😌 the day! Keep the party 🥳 going!
Very funky purfection! :)
Classic,perfection🌹
Is one of my favorite old school songs even though I was just being born in the 70s
