Samantha Sang ~ Emotion 1977 Pop Purrfection Version

Here is another second remix of a song I'd already done, Samantha Sang's Bee Gee moment, "Emotion". Barry has said that she is like the fourth Bee Gee as her voice melds so well with the famous brothers harmonies.
Australia has nurtured a number of successful pop artists like Dave Mason, Olivia Newton John, The Bee Gees and Samantha Sang. Born Cheryl Lau Sang in Melbourne, she also was known professionally as Cheryl Gray, the name she used to release her debut single "The Real Thing" in 1966.
After entering and winning several talent contests, EMI signed her and released two other singles, "In A Woman's Eyes" and 1967's "You Made Me What I Am" that put her firmly in Australia's pop landscape. Looking to expand her appeal, she went to the UK in 1969. It was there that Barry Gibb heard Cheryl and convinced Robert Stigwood to sign her. He and brother Maurice wrote the minor hit "Love Of A Woman" and released it under her stage name of Samantha Sang.
A subsequent single written by Labi Siffre, "Nothing In The World Like Love" was released, but by then her visa ran out and it was back to Australia for her. Signing with Polydor in 1975, she released the LP "Samantha Sang and Rocked The World" which did not sell in great amounts.
1977 saw her visit France and the Bee Gees who were in the midst of recording songs for a little disco movie to be called "Saturday Night Fever". Barry wrote a new song for her called "Emotion", designed to capitalize on her softer side. It proved to be the perfect melding of artist with song and became a major worldwide hit, peaking at #3 on the US survey in the spring of 1978. Samantha has since retired from the music business, but did a one off live performance with her dad Reg in 1999.

Saw Samantha Sang in NJ several years ago. She could sing her soul out on this one. My husband and I danced in the aisles like a lot of other baby boomers at this reunion concert. Talk about a time warp lol. It was like time hadn't passed at all. I love what music can do to you. It can bring you up and take you down. It can also let you for the briefest time return to a moment in your life when life was just starting out and you had the world by the tail. What a great memory. 💖💝❤‍🔥

[@carlosgutierrez5636]

I was almost 10 yo,and still enjoying this beautiful song ,what amazing memories this song brings to my mind!❤❤

[@chrispnw2547]

The stars truly aligned on this song where multiple components came together. Samantha's phrasing is often overlooked as a key component of the song. The arrangement and harmonies of the BeeGees are the foundation of the song but the bass-line (on the low-end), the strings (on the high-end), and soulful Samantha (in the middle with her unique phrasing) make this a song that has stood the test of time. Thank you for making my Sunday.

[@andreaboys]

Un clasico de todos los tiempos..la armonia de Samantha y de Barry en la voz principal hacen que sea romantica y nostalgica.!!

[@rockybudgeboa]

Aww 13 year old me. Sitting in my parents car hearing this song play on the old am radio, waiting for them to come out of Towne and Countrye mall (Yes my memories will always live on ) THANK YOU for the second remix of this

[@karlcooper7016]

The begees were underrated I thought they got plenty respect but not enough publicity like the Beetles and other groups.

[@fob1xxl]

Always LOVED this song. It was part of my young adult life in the 70's . The Bee Gee's influence made it an instant hit ! God, I miss those days. What GREAT MEMORIES of being young, naive, in love and experiencing life . I was a lucky guy !

[@Maloveciri]

I LOVE that you extend ballads. It really lets you get lost in them and the memories and feelings they invoke 👍👏🥰

[@jeffreychandler8666]

I am just thinking about this beautiful, and very talented woman, colloborating with the sensational Bee Gees in 1977. A extremely great time for DISCO music, and also, the true fact that she was able to sing this is extremely remarkable. She demonstrated her melodic, vocals that softly reach ears with joy. The greatness of this treasured song, fulfills "EMOTIONS."

Truthfully, it should be "Samantha Sang (Featuring the Bee Gees)" which if it wasn't for Sang's vocals, would be in essence a Bee Gees song.

Another piece of The Bee Gees’ sterling late 70s run where you couldn’t listen to pop radio for a half hour Without hearing one of their melodious productions .😀✌️ Back then, In all honesty, I thought this was sung by a male vocalist (namely The Bee Gees themselves) until I found out it so-to-speak wasn’t . The Bee Gees could definitely sing as high as most female vocalists. A deserved #3 on Billboard.

[@TheSkete]

Well Barry is singing backup/ the chorus so it's easy to make that assumption.

Samantha Sang was *NOT* a newcomer to Pop Music in 1977. Eleven years earlier, as a 13-year-old, she was signed to EMI(Australia) Ltd. to record on the *His Master's Voice* label, the label being the rightful and sole owner of the "Dog & Gramophone" trademark. Her releases were: *The Real Thing* c/w *Move On* (EA-4819) in November, 1966; *In A Woman's Eyes* c/w *Brand New Woman* (EA-4822) January, 1967; *You Don't Love Me Anymore* c/w *You Made Me What I Am* (EA-4852) May, 1967; *It's Not Easy Lovin' You* c/w *I'm Gonna Try* (EA-4868) August, 1967; *When You're Not Near* c/w *You're The Boy* (EA-4889) December, 1967. As well as these, there was one issue on EMI's other flagship label, *Columbia* being *You Were There* c/w *Lonely People* (DO-8586) issued early in 1967. Cheryl also had two releases outside EMI, on the *White & Gillespie(W. & G.)* label under the name "Samantha". These were *Feelin' Good* c/w *Moody Moon* (S-8047) and *The Lady Is A Vamp* c/w *Vamp* (S-8056). These *W. & G.* singles were released sandwiched in between her *His Master's Voice* releases during 1967.
