  • Those ladies can still shake it:) Very proud of be born on the September 22, 1977 -- The week this song was #1

  • this was a watershed in black music.

  • i'm 28 and i get this song... i love it, am i still considered young?

  • I tuned in to see the Emotions, not the audience. The title of this clip should be "Audience at Emotions Concert"

  • Wow those vocals sound good. It's hard to keep that sound after all these years. Sometimes the tempo is speeded up to get the crowd going at the end of a song and to take it into another song. Or, they might "break it down" old school style from way back. It's ok to do that live. That's the sound of a "live" band and we're used to hearing it just like the record. They can also "take it to the bridge" or stretch it out or cut it short. That's the band leader's job. Memories...

  • WOW THE CROWD IS AMAZING!!!!

  • Work! Classic old school!

  • Everyone looks like they're having so much fun! :)

  • FASTER TEMPO LOOSES THE TRUE FEEL. I THINK MUSICIANS SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONSCIOUS OF WHAT THEIR "GROOVE" IS DOING TO THE VOCALS. THE VOCAL "SHOULD" ALWAYS BE THE FOCAL!

  • the bass player killed it

  • fantastic!

  • love old skool always will

  • this is absolute perfection

  • Why does she sing the song at the beginning..? probably can't hear the monitirs...because great singers!

  • luv these girls!!!

  • Africa

  • Want to hear The Emotions' new song, LIFE?? Check my station, ynpoetess! You know them as THE EMOTIONS. I know them as MOM & AUNTIES! ;)

  • @ynpoetess Hi our country's trio, the Philippines' La Diva did a cover of this song =D look it up /watch?v=xh1i0t5aYaI

  • I had no idea they were as old as they are....I think Jeanette is 60...Pamela is 52 the youngest...wanda and sheila are at least 58 a piece they look awesome and sound as good as they did when I saw them in 1976

  • One day I heard this on 105.3 while driving and I was just dancing my booty off. Later on that same day, I got it on my iPod. :)

  • @rayka nice did u go to musician's institute as well? I did. I know the drummer and he was my private instructor Fred Dinkins

  • Love the song but this just doesn't sound right. Thumb down reluctantly.

  • Reminds me of of disco-era Dallas, circa 1978. Hanging out at "Number 3 Lift" and Dallas Cowboy Thomas Hollywood Henderson was a regular there going to the bathroom all the time for his cocaine snorting.

  • The Emotions had prolific skills. They sang very well. They sang with a lot of Soul. I like the efoort they put in that live concert. I wish I had seen them in Concert. I am 41.

    I like Best Of Love, Flowers, and Don't Wanna Lose you rLove. Those are my favorite songs. I have their CD that included those songs I mentioned above. I like listening to them here at youtube also.

  • 11 people are missing the BEST of their LOVE! ... SHAME

  • It's all about the woman in the purple hat in the very beginning LOVE HER!

  • You know the thing about these performances. These groups could have easily came in and gave some lackluster performance, collected their checks and went home, but it's clear they put 100% into the preparation and it shows. Bless all the groups who appeared and thank you brownboykb for blessing us with these uploads.

  • and who wrote that! Of course Earth, wind & fire, All Mckay and Maurice White

  • Stop telling s**t, listen... 

  • I wonder if i went to one of these concerts, i would stick out like a sore thumb. An asian in an all black crowd.

  • @mybigredlip I Would Love To Go To One Of Their Concerts!!! A "While" & An "Asian" OH YEA, We'd Stick Out, But What A "HELL OF A GOOD TIME" We'd Have!!

  • Im 15 and these peolple are GREAT... I love the emotions the singing blows Britany spears out of the water anyday

  • Oh my Godness! What a wonderful memories! Thank you so much Brownboykb for sharing the video on Yoube and with your kind permission I am adding it to my favorites :)

  • She is startin' out totally off key - I bet she can't hear the music (position of the speakers). But this is totally MY song, from THE DAY.

  • this is the shix

  • 良い曲ッすね!

  • I just saw a man that looks like sinbad It Is creepy too know there Is a twin to everyone outthere probably stealing your identity,,,,,.

  • @texmexfan1 That was Sinbad. He sponsored this concert.

  • THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL REAL MUSIC. REAL MUSIC REAL MUSIC!!

  • SO GLAD THESE LADIES ARE STILL AROUND.  THEY ARE A LIVING TESTAMENT TO WHAT MUSIC ONCE WAS.

  • Comment removed

  • this is what you call great singing and music. some of the younger generation will never understand this music.

  • @lee2lee30 - we just gotta school-'em!

    S.

  • @lee2lee30 As they shouldn't...music is generational and is the soundtrack to our lives from era to era. Trying to get somebody to understand how this music made you feel is the same as trying to get them to understand how the food tasted to YOU when were a young adult. Doesn't mean they won't love the music because good music will remain timeless... but it won't hold the same significance.

  • Kanye and Usher were watching this as audience and must be thinking "No way we can beat these music".

  • that was horrible I love the track a whole lot better

  • OH YES!!!!!! REAL MUSIC.

  • juliet i want to dance with you only you i love you R.

  • I love this video, live! These girls sassy!! You got the best of my love baby!!! J

  • My girls@

  • the 70's was the real deal not this bull...these days and times, anyone can b a star now- back then it took rrrrrrrrrreal talent and a voice long live great music ;;;these women r living legends foolio. ES.

  • Yessirrr!!!!

  • Something doesn't sound right....

  • @freein2339 I agree

  • Not a great version though. Sounds like the instruments are rushing and the voices struggling to keep up. But still a great song!!!

  • 11 noobs (thumb down) with no emotion... sad

  • they could get it...

  • Excellent, I love this song, they're really good live too.

  • Just great nothing more nothing less just great.

  • Who do you know over age 60 can Rock & Soul like this. They have been around for what 40 YEARS! all grand mothers and they still got it

  • Another example of when music was music... yay!

  • very,very good! I LOVE THIS GIRLS AND YOUR MUSICS!

  • THAT'S RIGHT IF YOU GET ME THEN YOU GO THE BEST

  • I use to go to High School with the Guitar Player thats in the Band Dan Diaz. He now works at Guitar Institute Of Technology. He was Good then and Better now.

  • Someone actually thinks Britney Spears can out-sing these women? Really? Singing is when you open your mouth and sounds come out of it - IN TUNE. When you open your mouth in time to a track containing your pre-recorded studio vocal, but sounds don't actually come out of your mouth, you're not singing...you're lip-SYNC-ing. Perhaps they meant she could out-SYNC them... Just saying...

  • lol i wasnt born when this song came out or the artist were known haha and still i tend to know and love this song! haha \m/

  • @sexyrexysexy ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you need to do your reseach because these Legends have more hits than this song and to to say that britney sticks is better than these real black women is a disgrace!!!!! you need to show respect to thses ladies because they are apart of Black history!!!!!

  • Well lady.... why has the blonde diva sold so many records...... More than anyone.. Get of the crackpipe WOMAN

  • sexyrexysexy First of all you need to do your homeworksounds like you,re on the crack pipe woman.

  • I am a boy by the way. Me have no pus pus. "the blonde diva". Ha Ha Ha Ha HA!!! What a fucking joke. Good on ya for picking up such BULLSHIT!! & protectiing hotties with REAL talent!! The REAL DEAL Sexy!!!

  • @1123michelle

    as much as I love The Emotions, growing up on there music and all, they are only legends in the Black community, not internationally. When you speak of legends, you have to define that one because they aren't selling out shows like James Brown, a "true" legend did.

  • @1123michelle OMG lol! Who in the world could you have possibly be talking to? I can't imagine anybody being THAT ign'ant =p

  • @1123michelle i didn't mean to vote down. accidentally pressed the button. sorry.

  • @clarissamarasigan , It happens to all of us .

  • @1123michelle At least the Emotions can SANG! Britney lipsynchs and doesnt even have a real voice... i agree!!

  • @1123michelle No, no. Diana & the Supremes are legends; Gladys & the Pips are legends; maybe even Martha & the Vandellas are (semi) legends. The Emotions are merely very good!

  • B spears, haha. Dont make me laugh. She has good producers. Producer+technology=magic. Its unbelievable how daft the youth is. Makes me sad to be young, because its become the norm to have penis pulp 4 brains. Its actually more amazing because ur a guy n like b spears. Chop dem nuts off b4 u go to bed mate, cause u might s well b a pussy.

  • Baby girl........ I am taking the piss xx can't stand her commercialised Shit!! Have a good week deary ducks xx

  • Ps.... Love your sense of humour... Put a smile on this aussie tigers dial xx

  • The girl at 1:36 is really cool!

  • this is my #1 karaoke song!! love it :)

  • i,m love this song my mother love this music

  • whats the chords of the last part of it......?

  • From what I can work out, on a keyboard in the key of C, the last cord before it comes home to the key-chord is, from bass up, G, F, B, E flat.

    Then the tonic chord is modified to:-

    C, G, E, B flat, D.

    Then all up a semi-tone i.e.:-

    C sharp, G sharp, E sharp, B (nat),

    D sharp.

    Hope this helps.

    Bernard.

  • Love this Jam, One of my karoake favorites. Can you believe people still; google this one, YES!

  • I think it's amazing how they did this with SO MUCH energy and PURELY live, not ONE backing track, just their 3 voices...no modern group can do that (and do it with justice)

  • This song was no.8 in the world-year-end-charts in 1976

  • best vocal ever !

  • lifr was great when this song and emotions and earth wind and fire collaborated

  • thats the way the singers should be...great!

  • Wanda is so crazy 1:05 was off the chain!

  • this is ONLY 2nd to 'I don't wanna loose your love' luvin still yeaah!~

  • THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME.

    Hands down.

  • favorite song of all time ha ha fag!!!!

  • i love these days, i was 5 when this came out....MUSIC IS SOOOOO SHIIIT NOW rip 70s

  • I love you!!! HA HA HA! So FUCKING TRUE!! xx

  • Why is the lead singer so off-key in the beginning of the song? Am I the only one noticing this??

  • I Noticed too. LOL

  • @theliberalmedia08 A little tired, a little older but she's a pro and got it together! :)

  • I wish Sinbad would've continued having those party trips to Aruba b/c I used to watch this on HBO when it would show and dance and sing to every song in my living room WISHING I was there live but I was too young to go lol !!!!

  • I was born when this song came out in 1977!!!! I LOVE THE EMOTIONS!!!!!

  • sexyamy699 is loving this song

  • they got everybody jammin'!!!

  • Electrifying performance!!!

  • watch La DIva BEST OF MY LOVE realyy amazing!!!

  • 0.28 watch them get down lol thats class! x

  • All good things must come to an end. Or at least that cliché held true until it came to years 1974 through 1977. The hits just kept coming, one after another. And in 1977, it was impossible to conceive of anyone unseating Andy Gibb's four week chart topper, "I Just Want To Be Your Everything." But the 'Emotions' were well deserving of that prestigious honor when they entered the "Top 40" with one of the greatest disco hits of all time, and sensational five week chart topping, "Best Of My Love!"

  • that was not their first gold record or album  a lifetime friend

  • wow ang galing naman nila..

    try to watch la diva"s version of this song it's really amazing!!!

  • bahahaha !!

  • Great classic written by Maurice White of EW&F!!

  • Just wanted to say, they sound like EWF. Therefore I am loving it all the more!

  • So true Gerald56, and the reason they sound like EWF is because this jam was written by no other then the lead singer of EWF Maurice White....

  • actually Wanda, Wayne and Maurice.

  • This my song these ladies are still as beautiful as they were in the younger days still I say that they don't make them like them anymore.

  • try to watch this.,.,.,. BEST OF MY LOVE by LA DIVA

    its really amazing

  • ecxellent !!!

  • in their prime they would've murdered them girls!

  • be smart! do not compare here your la diva!!! this is living legend class A icon

  • When this song came out in 1977, I was at The Jazz Festival in San Diego Stadium, During the break between groups, they played on the concert speakers Best of my love, The Emotions were not even at the concert, when the LA & San Diego crowd heard this new song they stood up and went wild stomping their feet dancing, it was the first time in my life and only time I seen a concert get turned out by a group that wasn't even there...Emotions you are the Best of my love....The R&B Beast....

  • Man '77 must have been the best year to strike music! The Floaters had "Float On", Marvin Gaye had "Got To Give It Up", Stevie Wonder had "I Wish" and These beautiful Ladies had the best song thay year (In my opinion) "Best Of My Love"! I Wish I was born then!

  • Not just 1977 from 1972-1977 R&B music was definitely off the charts with some of thee Greatest R&B hits of all time, from Blue Magic (Side Show) to the Commodores (Easy) and Emotions (Best of my love) and hundreds of others...I was a teenager during them times, The songs were like the sound track of your life,Times I wouldn't trade for anything...Not taking anything away from the 60's late 70's and Early 80's all of those years had Brilliant written and Arranged songs too.....

  • Hi I´m Doug from Brazil.

    For 9 years i was looking for a song called smile for The emotions, and i found here.

    The Best of my love, is one the best songo from 70´s, songs like Best of my love, Got to be real, you make me feel and many others songs, never will die. The 70´s and 80´s was the best years to dance. Thenk yiu The Emotions to give me a amazing, moments im my life.

  • You are so right...The 1970's definitely was the best of times in music....The music is Beautiful with plenty of heartfelt Soul...Beautiful like the women of your country Brazil...:)....peace brother....Tha Rickster...

  • Your right there Dough... they were the best years to dance. Feel good fun music , they made u just wanna get up there and shake your thing. Julie from New Zealand here.

  • Julie, go and check on your husband, & make sure he is not bangiing the sheep!!

  • thats the best kind.

  • this song makes my spine tingle

  • Man, this song gives me goosebumps, such a magnificent song...and it was another 11 years before I was even born after it's release in '77. The Emotions....tres magnifique!

  • did anybody know that this is a gospel song? god is getting the best of their love.

  • I always thought this was a r&b song!

  • were was this concert?

  • One of Sinbad's Old School concerts in Aruba, I think 1997 or 98

  • Vale. Es ke soy de Estados Unidos y a veces no me ubico en las linguisticas coloquiales de ciertos países.

  • ke te hace sentir cosas gay o guy?? No entendí muy bien. Saludos.

  • why surprised? Thats a well known fact, that's why the song is called "Emotions" since they sampled The Emotions :)

  • the emotions are so sexy

  • Great to listen to this track again. :)

  • FAVORITE ALL TIME SONG

  • Everyone seems to be having a great time

  • Wanda is BAD vocally. I always thought she can give Chaka and even Patti and a run for their money.
