uetroit rLmeralds Keturn lo
Studio After Three-Year Break
Dy v^ynuiia oeii
Pc*t Staff Writer
Last year, Atlantic Records
began its association with De
troit’s famed Westbound Re
cords. The Detroit Emeralds,
one of the Motor City’s vocal
groups, returned to the studio
last year after a three year
break from the recording
scene. Their return was just in
time to put their FEEL THE
NEED LP in the premiere set
of Westbound releases to come
under the newly associated
Atlantic distribution West
bound officials felt that this
was only fitting since the
Emeralds was the very first to
sign under the label when
Westbound was being distri
buted independently by Ar
men Boladian.
Since their initial signing
with Westbound, the Detroit
Emeralds yielded a two sided
hit, "If I Lose Your Love" and
“I Bet You Get The One Who
l>oves You,” from their DO
ME RIGHT LP, to get them
going in the recording indus
try. The release of FEEL THE
NEED last year illustrated
the appeal that the Emeralds
have had for their millions of
fans throughout the years. The
song “Feel The Need" was
first heard as a single from
their second LP, YOU WANT
IT, YOU GOT IT. Damon
Shave’s version of this song
took off ahead of the Emeralds
on the charts. But John Abbey,
editor of BLUES & SOUL
magazine from England, urg
ed the release of the tune in
the United Kingdom He was
already familiar with their
work through the release of
their “Do Me Right," single
from their debut album of the
same title. The song was
released in the United King
dom and became a smashing
success there and became a
gold seller for the group.
John Abbey telephoned the
Emeralds one night from En
gland while they were per
forming at the Apollo in New
York. His enthusiam over
their serftational success in
his country inspired the group
to visit Britain for the first
time in 1972. During the course
of their stay, the Emeralds
toured the ballroom circuit as
headliners only to return to
perform in Italy, Greece.
Spain, Ireland, and Germany
The results of this tour was so
grand that the Detroit Eme
ralds decided that their bian
nual tour of the Continent was
an important part of their
performance schedule
With the release of their
FEEL THE NEED LP that
was recorded exclusively in
Memphis including a rework
ed version of the title tune, the
Emeralds set the stage for
their latest album LET’S GET
TOGETHER. This new album
finds the group shifting to
their home base of Detroit for
the recording of six of the
eight tracks of the album
They are backed up by the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra
along with 15 other expert
players. Tunes to listen for on
this new LP are "Treat Her
Like A Lady," “Have A Good
Day," and "Traveling Man.”
Abrim Tilmon, Jr., his bro
ther Ivory, and James Mit
chell make up the Detroit
Emeralds with Marvin Willis
to round out performances on
the road
Abe and Ivory Tilmon were
both born in Little Rock Ark
aasas, whereas James Mil
chell is a native of Florida
They were all, however, brou
ght upin"Black Bottom," for
mally called Detroit's East
Side. It was here where they
were very much influenced by
the gospel and rhythm and
blues music that seems to
blend so well in the Motor
City
