The Emotions

Edit

I remeber it like it was yesterday. Listening to the emotions was a daily ritual. I was yelled at by mother several times a day to "turn it down!" I knew all the words to every song and even dreamed of becoming a singer like the emotions. I heard the emotions were going to be in Omaha Nebraska where I lived and I literally lost it. I begged for tickets after all the day of the concert was my birthday(September 23rd). My mother said I was too young to go to a concert and she could not afford it(I am the oldest girl of six children)but that I would still have a nice birthday anyway. I must have cried everyday after she said it was impossible for me to go. The day of the concert I didn't want anything else anyone had to offer. My stepfather came in with a big package for me. I hesitated with grief and opened the gift. It was a beautiful new dress. I said thanks and got up to go to my room. He said wait go put your dress on. I said why I'm not going anywhere! I was mad. That's when it happened, He pulled out three tickets to the concert. I started screaming and jumping nonstop. My mother knew all along. I got to the concert and couldn't see a thing. My step dad put me on his shoulders and when the emotions sang "Key to my heart" I cried. As I am doing right now. This album brings back so many memories of good times I hope other people discover how extremely talented these harmonious songtresses really are. No other female group even comes close! They will always have a special place in my heart. Emotions fan for life! DD
