The Emotions, like the Supremes of the 60's and the 40's Andrews Sisters, remains one of the best female singing trios ever. This set of their greatest (classics like "Best of My Love," "Boogie Wonderland," "Don't Ask My Neighbors," and "Rejoice") superbly illustrates that fact.

Destiny's Child, eat your heart out!

This is marvelous group the late Mahalia Jackson had discovered this group they were very successful back in the day they had teamed up with Maurice White and Earth Wind and Fire to do the hit Boogie Wonderland is on here also other good songs like Flowers , Don't Ask My Neighbor one of my all-time favorites and the best of my love and many others this is a dynamic group they are currently on tour with Earth Wind and Fire including Maurice White.....

I definitely recommend this album it is good from start to finish you will not disappointed!!!!

My only complaint with this collection is that "WHAT DO THE LONELY DO AT XMAS" was not included! This is what a female group sounds like when they're not all sexed-up, hyped-up, with 3-ton egos getting in the way. The Emotions still perform to this day with the original line-up; no running off chasing solo superstardom. Maybe it was because they were family.

In this day of manufactured singing stars, one need only have a listen to a couple of these songs to be reminded what true singers are supposed to sound like. These ladies were hot in the period (late 70s) just before MTV and the like started to rule. Now the focus is so much on looks, not actually having talent is readily forgiven.

What makes this CD a great listen is it showcases the sisters beautiful harmonious blend in songs that well compliment their talent. Stand outs are "Blessed", "Don't Ask My Neighbor", "I Don't Want to Lose Your Love" and "Boogie Wonderland."

Some, like myself, will also remember these ladies singing with a grittier, more soulful blend in the earlier 70s under a different record label. They recorded a song during that time ("So I Can Love You")that's still a favorite of mine.

However, Maurice White of Earth, Wind and Fire saw something else in this group, and flipped that persona,introducing a more feminine side to these singers and vocal ranges that soared beyond what many thought they were capable of. This was a very successful association and are the years represented on this disk.

This CD is well worth the buy.

The first song I heard on the radio was "I don't want to lose your love". Right away, I was sold. Their voices are incredible, and the harmony, awesome. This CD is a collector's paradise.

i Love the Emotions voices.they have power&soul.and with the Genius of Maurice White they created many great songs such as best of my love,I don't wanna lose your Love,Smile.i have never heard another female group that can hang vocally with them.they are the baddest of all-time.i hope they release something new.and maybe get back with Maurice White.

Those fabulous Hutchinson sisters are on point!!! And this compilation proves that Wanda, Sheila, Jeanette, and Pamela are the best singers the music industry has seen since Ella Fitzgerald!!! And, they sound just as great today as they did in the 60's and 70's. A great addition to this CD would be their compilation from their Stax days. I love all of the songs on this CD, but, my personal favorite is "Flowers" (track#2). One is because it is a very beautiful song with a strong message. And, two, the song charted on the exact day that I was born, July 10, 1976.

I have known Shiela, Wanda and Janette Hutchinson since my high school days. We went to Juliet G. Lowe UGC, and Parker High School in Chicago Illinois together. Shiela and I were in the same classes. They have always been a class act, and very kind hearted sisters. I first heard "Flowers" when I was stationed in South Korea; while in the U.S. Air Force, and I fell in love with their album. I knew immediately; when I heard the song, that it was the "Emotions"voices. No one has their very unique and beautiful sound. I miss them, and love all their songs.

This CD brought back so many happy memories of the late 70's and early 80's. would reccomend to anyone and everyone

This particular CD is one of my ultimate favorites! Not only are there fast songs to grove to, there are also slow songs to relax off of! These three remarkable sisters have incredible voices, and when I listen to the CD, they make me so at ease and happy! Over the years, I have collected most of their CD's, and this is with out a doubt, one of the best compilations so far! They have true style, and they reflect their style in the songs that they sing. All of the songs imply positivity, which is one of the reasons, in my opinion, why they are still so very popular. The Emotions are one of my top favorite groups, and certainly, after anyone has listened to this CD, or any others at that, one can't help but to fall in love with their music and the wonderful and powerful image they have created. I've never had the opportunity of seeing them perform live, but I am sure they are absolutely stunning! Five stars for this CD!
