Emotions Don'T Ask My Neighbors: Columbia / Arc Recordings CD

UK three CD set. Through five albums and twelve U. S. R&B charted singles (including the 1977 Grammy-winning global anthem, "Best Of My Love") released between 1976-1981, The Emotions achieved a level of recognition and success that ensured their place as first tier purveyors of harmonic soul music. Beyond the charts, sales and radio airplay, The Emotions' soulful singing resonated with the expanded audience they reached in live performances on tours with EW&F, The Commodores, and The Brothers Johnson among others. With informative liner notes by SoulMusic. Com founder David Nathan, mastering by Nick Robbins and artwork by Roger Williams, this superb musically-satisfying 54-track, SoulMusic Records' box set showcases The Emotions' golden years and includes all of their recordings for Columbia Records (1976-1978) and for ARC (American Recording Company), the CBS-distributed label (under the aegis of Maurice White) between 1979-1981. Disc 1 comprises the Flowers album, produced by Maurice White with the late Charles Stepney and the aptly-named Maurice White-produced Rejoice LP which - via the chart-topping international hit 'Best Of My Love' - propelled The Emotions to global fame. Disc 2 consists of Sunbeam and Come Into Our World. Disc 3 contains New Affair, the group's final LP for ARC/Columbia with an emphasis on dance-oriented tracks in light of the phenomenal 1979 success of 'Boogie Wonderland', the EW&F smash that featured The Emotions, two versions of which are among the eight bonus tracks that complete the third disc of this stellar box set.
