Damn, these ladies sound just as fine live as the record 😊
So do
I agree. Usually, I don't like LVE versions but I am very pleased with this performance 🎤💃💃💃
RIP PAMELA HUTCHINSON
It was Pamela the youngest. They were all great!!
@@deborahmann2926 Right. Oldest sister and original member, Jeanette is in this video. Pam, who would sometimes replace Jeanette, is not in this video.
Back when performers had to be able to sing and had to keep their clothes on
Exactly!
back when you could dance to the music. now you can't
In this clip it is actually the ORIGINAL members: WANDA HUTCHINSON - VAUGHN, SHEILA HUTCHINSON - WHITT and JEANNETTE HUTCHINSON - HAWES.
Greats
I thought that was Jeannette! Thank you for clarifying
Ms Sheila's voice can soothe anyone into submission lol...... truly one of a kind
Yes!!
Yes indeed!
And Jeanette's voice was soothing to Phillip Bailey.
That's Wanda singing lead
That's Shelia on Flowers
Rest in peace to Pamela Rose Hutchinson
For those who might assume otherwise, Pamela is not in this video. Pam would sometimes replace oldest sister, Jeanette.
@@TruthSerum101 ,correct and she was with them on Soul Train, during 1977.
Thanks for the Correction,, LIL.
Shelia has the prettiest voice EVER.. ALL of them could sing tho. But it something about Shelia's voice !!
Exactly. It’s Heavenly.
This is one of the only clips of the Emotions from their prime with Jeanette on YT. What a treat. This group was great in any configuration.
Rest In Paradise ,classic
,
Also, please check out their Stax (early) hits "So I Can Love You" and "Show Me How", both lead by Shelia, especially live from the soundtrack to "Wattstax."
Yes, this is rare. I presume this was a year before she left to rest, and start a family, to be replaced by youngest sister Pam. Good call. Thanks! I Wasn't even aware that Jeanette recorded on the studio version of the song. Every television clip I've seen of them performing this song has always included Pam. Check it Out! Ciao!!! ruclips.net/video/jLi5-avmrIM/видео.html
Actually here is another clip with Jeanette. Check it Out! Ciao!!! ruclips.net/video/RO5rQSiO0Ew/видео.html
@@renaissanceman165 Thanks! You need to watch the episode of the TV shoe "Unsung" on The Emotions and you will see that Jeanette was an original member who continuously left the group to have a baby. Any other third girl in the group was her "temporary" replacement.
In my opinion, (In soul Music) the only female vocal groups on the same level as The Emotions were The Jones Girls & The Pointer Sisters.
That’s funny you say that bc The Jones Girls often get compared to The Emotions due to their vocal styles
This is the purest of gold....pure gold! These ladies had no equal at that time to this very day. The Emotions will always have the Best Of My Love!
Come on now, EnVogue!🙄
My too it started with so I can love you
Band on point
They are so polished.....that is hours upon hours of rehearsal.....Their presence and captivation is on point! BRAVO Sam Alix
You don't find this type of poise and talent today. It's all about "marketing" not talent. These ladies were on point always!
You are 100% right.
@@lelabean3 Yep, or it's about "manufacturing" a brand, a trend, a sound fad, or an image commodity, whether they have REAL talent or not. LOL
Unbelievable...all alive...with no Playback....or virtual studion and some shit......pure music
My heart aches for this. Now I remember why being a little kid in the late 70s was so good. House parties at my grandmother’s house...and The Emotions on the Magnavox record player. Isleys, EWF, Stevie, Marvin, Curtis, Ohio Players, O’Jays. I’d like to take a Midnight Train back to the days! 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing!!
SHELIA, This is Your Former MUSIC Teacher,,,,Ms.Fitzgerald,from the Days At Juliette G.Low Elementary,,,CONTACT Me:ASAP. SORRY To HEAR About JEANETTE,,,,,,,,
Same here bro. I remember my uncle buying the Flowers and Rejoice albums and listening. Little did i know at the time EWF performed their music until i started seeing the Kalimba imprint on the label.
Please CONTACT Me,,,,Have Been TRYING For YEARS To CONTACT U,,,,Please REPLY!!!!!!!
Get the "Soul Of Midnight Special" DVD collection from Time LIFE Music, and visit that train anytime you feel like it. They're all there, all the artists you know and love. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
RIP Pamela Hutchinson 🙏. We often wait until someone passes away to honor and thank them for bringing joy into our lives by way of a song. I want to thank the remaining Hutchinson sisters for blessing my ears to the most beautiful harmonizing that I've ever heard. I thank you, and I appreciate you beautiful ladies for blessing me since the seventies. ❤❤
The greatest female group EVER and it's not even debatable so don't try! That's Wanda, Sheila and Jeanette here (Jeanette is one of Phillip Bailey's baby mommas). Pam was (baby sister who's not in this video) would fill in for Jeanette throughout the years (RIP Pam). And that's their brother on guitar!
Wow each of my favorite Sisters Groups of the 1970s🌹 Each of them had Sisters whom has journeyed on from their Groups. The Emotions, The Jones Girls, Sister Sledge and the Pointer Sisters. Thank goodness I grew up as little girl, during the 1970s listening to meaning, loving, and respectful Music. My Parent's have journeyed on and I missed our family togetherness in the backyard. Listening and dancing to fabulous Music😔 I am not fond of the 21st Century, especially 2020😷🤦🏾♀️ RIP to my daughter, my Parent's and all those whom has journeyed on in 2020 and before 2020. I wished we had a Time Machine✨
These ladies had the voices of angels. Truly legends I want to say Rise In Power to Ms. Pamela Hutchinson not featured in this video who was just as vital to this group as the other sisters. ❤️
Pam was the baby..
Hell, this just makes me ache for those magical times in the 70's , how good is this? Ladies sound great, the best period to be alive, miss it .
👏🏾👏🏾🙋🏾♀️
The best of our loves 🤎🤎🤎
I,m Sorry But Wanda Hair Is Everything on Here.LOLLL,and She is Working it to.Love it
THEIR REAL HAIR TOO!
@@armybob50 ,I've always loved the Hairstyles from the 1970s.
All natural singing, no help!
They are very talented and gorgeous .Back in the days you had to have a voice. But now they use all this computer junk to try and say your voice is nice. I like the old days you either have it are not.
I agree with you
R.I.P. PAM HUTCHINSON 😥😥
A national treasure
The lady singing the lead on "Flowers" had an amazing head voice!
@Jayvon : The lady singing lead is Wanda Hutchinson….
@@jduwayne1 Thanks.
@@TechWizz the lady singing on Flowers is Shelia Hutchinson- Whitt
@@keyz951 Oh so not Wanda. Hmm?
@@TechWizz Right. Wanda leads on the first two songs “Best Of My Love” and “Smile” then Shelia leads the last song “Flowers”
These ladies can sing so BEAUTIFUL they give you chills. One of the best ever!!!
The 1st female group to push harmony, as a thing.
Wish we could have seen all 4 sisters perform together
Whew, I'm a dancer for 40 years consistently, as well as trained in other parts of the arts; but chose DANCE (now retired). BUT, I type that ONLY to say that BEST OF MY LOVE live as an opener, I couldn't even DANCE to it, because it's difficult. Difficult, because those VOCALS MAKE THE EAR WANT TO LISTEN, & THAT BAND MAKES THE EARS WANT TO LISTEN. It's VERY EASY to DANCE in a club, while a DJ plays a record/track, but LIVE, IF ALL PARTS OF THE ARTS IS LOVED (musicianship, dance, voice, lyricism, & performance), WHEW....IT'S HARD TO DANCE to this show. They're amazing vocally, the band is on point, and, and, and,....just stare, and applaud crazy at the end.
LOVE: THE HUMAN DNA
I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down! 💪
awesome post and i cant dance. LOL!
@@kwamezulushabazz 😂😂😂😂 I hear ya....thanks.
@@UncleDuTheWatchman yes yes. Few "get it".too glad when someone does. 💪
Very, very powerful voices! I LOVE EM!!! Don't you just miss full treatment groups? I mean a full band. With horn sections. The works!
They are bringing a tear to my eye!! It is , SO GOOD!
Lord my girl Wanda was jamming. Shelia did her thing on flowers. Janette knows how to back them both up
Pamela Hutchinson is not there. It's Wanda Hutchinson Vaughn, Sheila Hutchinson, and Jeanette Hawes.
Pamela Hutchinson
R.I.P
All 3 of them was fine!!!
The band is on fire
Those cats had the moves; not just standing there. A funky grooving move.
Beautiful flower melody and nice performance
Thanks for listening
@@CalVid Is it possible to also Whole lotta shaking? Also do you have access to all their performances from of the Midnight Special? Flowers, How'd I Know That Love Would Slip Away and I Don't Want Lose Your Love. We all already have Best of My Love and Don't Ask My Neighbor.
Rest In Peace Pam..,we will miss you 😘 I believe this is Wanda, Sheila, and Jeanette
The Hutchinson sisters aka the LEGENDARY Emotions
They are sensational! Peace to the family in their time of loss. I'm grieving with them!
I love flowers
The Jones Girls come close the their harmony, but the Emotions are the best.
Not the jones girls are better but the emotions come close
Timothy Mitchell You're INSANE!!!
Nah the Jones girl’s harmonies are sharp & hearty
Jones Girls were nice, but not as nice as THESE girls. Facts.
Both groups are legends
My High Note Honeys The Emotions, Minnie Riperton, Denise Williams, and The Jones Girls!❤❤❤❤
I’m blowing the dust off my cds and riding to work with them in the morning.
RIP legend Pamela Hutchinson .I love Flowers and Smile
Probably one of my favorite band ever!
That’s literally one of the best things I listened to 🙌
R.I.P. Pamela Hutchinson
Oh man! THIS IS THE REAL FUNK MUSIC. NOT THE TODAY'S FUNK TRASH
All of them are so beautiful
Flowers) that lead singer with that sweet innocent tender voice make travel back in time for that precious kiss 💋.
Good music back in my day! They sang with such "emotion." Pamela passed away. These are the original members (Jeanette). Pamela took Jeanette's place until she came back.
Great performance….. These ladies were about of life growing up in the 1970’s
They don't make em like that no mo
MY girls
Rest in peace Pamela rose Hutchinson sing for our king jesus.
Ms. Pamela i remember the emotions when i first moved to san jose california,, i remember one song i was singing down stairs , my brother thought it was the radio. The song was dont ask my neighbor, he eaid i sounded just like one of the emotions, lol!!! Love your family!! God bless you on your jouney, with speed! Good night alice walker
One of my favorite Gem songs by the Emotions. I too was singing that Song as little girl growing up, during the 1970s.
This performance features Jeanette, Shelia (lead on "Smile" and "Flowers" as well as "Don't Ask My Neighbors" and their early hits "So I Can Love You" and "Show Me How") and Wanda (lead on "Best Of My Love" as well as "I Don't Want To Lose Your Love":), the ones who actually sang the songs on the record. However, there is another post where Wanda and Pam share the leads on "Flowers" in Shelia's absence, joined by Wanda's daughter Wyann: ruclips.net/video/Dvyx4e17RZs/видео.html
Wanda leads on "Smile"
@Shock You must not have read my post carefully. I said "This performance features Jeanette, Shelia and Wanda - the ones who actually sang the songs on the record!" Though Jeanette definitely sang on their first Columbia album which included "I Don't Want To Lose Your Love" and "Flowers", Pam is definitely pictured on the cover of their "Rejoice" album, which featured "Best Of My Love: and "Don't Ask My Neighbors." Perhaps you were confused because I also mentioned a LIVE PERFORMANCE in which Pam sang the song along with Wanda and Wanda's daughter Wyann in March 2020, despite the fact that I included the link (as I will do now, as well): ruclips.net/video/Dvyx4e17RZs/видео.html
Dat was really helpful cause I love dem but I ain't know shit!!! Dey sound so good!!!
Brings me back to 78 for a quick second lol where did the time go
Even the band was stepping shelia most definitely is the best dancer all of them can work the stage ❤❤❤❤ Rip Pamela 🙏🏾🕊️ vocals 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Jeanette , Shelia , Wanda
Awesome performance. I remember the first time I heard "Flowers" that song really blew my mind. It's 2022 and it still sounds so good!
RIP Pam! I remember the Emotions and always attended their concerts... I was a teenage 17 years old but I loved them. Especially, Sheila, I had a crush on her at the time..
Luv Sheila and Wanda they were just fabulous 😃😃👍👍 Sing ladies 🧐 Pam was a sweet heart 😀
REAL MUSIC,LIVE SINGING and LIVE BAND
RIP Pam
The best harmony, i love this Group!! Their songs give us joy
These 3 Gloriously talented ladies harmonies are soaringly soulful, fiercely funky, purringly passionate, sexy, seductive, Sisterhood Personified.
SOONER ARE LATER TIME WILL CATCH UP WITH US!RIP PAM.2020.
Sleep In Heavenly Peace Pamela🕊️🕊️🕊️
Rest In Paradise Pamela 🙏🏽💕🌼🌸🌺

The emotions music still sounds good in 2020 RIP Pamela Hutchinson brings back the good days 🎶
My favourite ladies ,boy can they sing
RIP Pamela Hutchinson
Thank you for posting full songs from this show. Someone posted a short clip of “Smile” a few years back that had me salivating. This has my three favorite Emotions’ song (“Flowers” being #1), but it’s also rare footage of Jeanette with them at their peak. When I saw the “Smile” clip years ago, I was like “ Who is that tall, gorgeous, leggy sista THERE?!?” Then I remembered there were actually four sisters.
Man it’s such a joy 🤩 in my life to hear and see how wonderful The Emotions use to sing 🎤what a powerful singing sister group
And don’t forget the wonderful sounding Pamela Hutchinson
She’s not in these clips but she where a very well beautiful part of the group,they all are still beautiful women but
Pamela was such a beautiful sexy woman 👏🏾🙏🏾😍
Forgive me if I said anything offensive,didn’t mean it that way,all four where beautiful women 😍😍😍😍
Her voice and singing softer 8:22 did something to my soul. It was so pure and unique. Beautiful!
Rip Pamela Hutchinson.
No auto-tune, beautiful voices, great creativity, positivity, musically genius, visually beautiful, get up and dance!!!! What a wonderful time to be alive! Good times! Born in 1976, it was a soundtrack of my childhood. Soo real, soo good! Realness for real!!
These sisters are just fantastic and commanded the stage 👍👍 but Sheila has always been my favorite 😀 just crazy about her 🥺🥺😃
I just see this now...The Emotions my favorite The Best of me...watching in Philippines...
Rose Stringer, girl where are you, you know this was our Song. We use to dance our behinds off at Jonelle’s when this song was played.
ANGELSSSSSSSSS
The display of emotions and energy. In their performance is such a treat
These Sisters were amazing!

I remembered thus sing, in the summer of 77. In chicago. I was 10 years old. Westside of Chicago. A great childhood. Lol.
I usually like classic rock. This is musical dynamite! Love it. It has all the power of hard rock, just in a different way. It's dripping golden soul. The precision drumming and fatback bass, the guitar riffs, the groove, the amazing Angelic vocals. God Bless these beautiful musicians and singers (Like the 3 Sisters of Orion). Pamela R.I.P. ;-) xxx
It looks like they're really enjoying themselves!!!
