Chicago - A message from the station manager

Here’s The Emotions!

Beautiful Colors Shining Through

“The timeless music of the Grammy Award-winning female R&B group The Emotions continue to touch the hearts of adoring fans and admirers,” dvideodon says in a YouTube upload this week.
“Comprised of three sisters, Wanda, Sheila and Jeanette Hutchinson, The Emotions originally performed as the Hutchinson Sunbeams as children, from 3 to 5 years of age, while singing gospel in their hometown Chicago.”

“Under the guidance of their father and manager Joe Hutchinson, the young trio performed popular ballads, folk music, gospel and blues, as they broadened their audiences by performing in New York. In 1958 the Sunbeams made their first television appearance on the Jerry Van Dyke Show. Years later as teenagers, the group signed with Stax Records in 1968, and recorded as The Emotions.”
