The Emotions on The Scene | The Emotions on The Scene Interview Appearance In 1976

[@Calvin375]

I bet most people did not know that Jeanette did most of all the high harmonies in their albums; especially, in the 1978 "REJOICE". album.

My Mom always thought Nat got too close whenever he interviewed lady singers. I remember him being closer than this when he interviewed some. Great clip, brings back some memories, especially this one, about the first or second season in 1976.

Wanda is literally right there, bro.

[@jporter504]

For real. Never notices her. Yet a year later she sings lead on the Emotions biggest hit ever: Best of my love.

[@lastdays3148]

jporter504 ,oh wow as a little girl in the 1970s I have always thought that the song called Dont Asked My Neighbor. Song by the Elegant Sheila was a huge hit song. Best Of My Love was another favorite song that I loved.

[@lastdays3148]

The Emotions sister were pretty and Sheila the one in the middle she just stood out more. She had a very sophisticated mannerism. The Emotions always reminded me of the other Elegant beautiful sister group called The Jones Girls. The Host was intrigued with Elegant Sheila too.The 1970s were the best decade for meaningful and loving music. A Time Machine needs to be built.

[@RJNumber45]

The Jones Girls came after The Emotions and copied The Emotions sound too closely... they had a couple nice joints but the jones girls were considered 'biters'

[@CityfrontDoorStaff]

@@RJNumber45 , I disagree. The Jones Girls didn't copy. They have been singing since they were little girls also. The difference is they were from Detroit, and the Emotions are from Chicago. The Jones Girls just didn't get the breaks like other groups did. They sang in church with their Mom, Mary Frazier Jones, who taught them how to harmonize. From there, they have backgrounded for SEVERAL artists. They also have a recording contract in the early 70s on the Music Merchant label, part of the stable HOT WAX/INVICTCUS records headed by Holland Dozier Holland after leaving Motown.

[@marshascott6107]

@@RJNumber45 That's not true, they was'nt considered biters, it was a lot of beautiful black R&B soul singers back then and all of them where beautiful in their own way, I loved all of them, because we as black americans had a variety of soul singers back then, talent was oozing.

[@jpfshowtime]

@@RJNumber45don’t ever disrespect the Jones Girls like that. They all came around the same era which is the 70s and yes, they both have that same melodic sound, but they were just as good and talented in their own right.

[@dahlgren75]

While knowing Sheila was the spokesman of the group, still the job of the interviewer would be to at least acknowledge the entire group. You don't have to be a professional to do that. It's just common courtesy. So yes, could I i have done better? I think most people placed in that situation, would not want a guest to feel left out, or disrespected. If these ladies were guest at your dinner, would you only be up in one of them faces? No because you wouldn't want the others to feel disrespected.

I thought Jeanette left the group for awhile,because she was pregnant by Phillip Bailey of Earth,Wind and Fire,among other things. I remember seeing the Emotions on Unsung and they mentioned on Unsung why their sister left the Group. Maybe You Tube has the Unsung Episode with the Emotions.
