The Emotions (1970) So I Can Love You - LOST 70s GEMS


A sultry little number full of a watery groove complete a tricky electric organ part occasionally wincing underneath the melody as can be heard at the start of the song and later on.the song sounds incredibly clear production and has the colourful ideas of non Philly soul. The Emotions are an apt name as their singing can convey deep desires/urges particularly the desperation in the line;

"so you're gonna tell her today"


Like the Lovelites and the Three Degrees, the combined force of the ladies' seductive voices, the raw soul delivery and sparse arrangements of funky blues guitar and liquid cool electric organ creates an old school yet timeless slow jam.
