1. Hi Night Train!

the reason why 'Emotions' sounds like the BeeGees is because they are singing backup, IIRC.

2. trekkerlass is right ...

The Bee Gees did sing backup on Emotions ... and they wrote the song, so that explains the sound.

IT'S ONLY MAKE-BELIEVE, Conway Twitty ---
I always thought that was Elvis, too. I was surprised to find out it wasn't.

LIES, The Knickerbockers ---
Same here ... I thought it was The Beatles until I realized it never appeared on any Beatles greatest hits CD, LOL!

3. Well, I know that now!

I did not, however, know it when "Emotions" first came out in 1977.

For all intents and purposes, "Emotions" was a Bee Gees record. Samantha Sang was little more than a figurehead. Guess that makes her the George W. Bush of '70s pop! :evilgrin:

4. the George W. Bush of 70's pop?

thanks, I just spit Coke on my keyboard! :evilgrin: :bounce:

5. LOL! I guess we all know it now ...

Samantha Sang was a front for the BeeGees! :evilgrin:

Did she ever have any other hits? I don't remember any ... I guess the BeeGees dropped her when they realized no one could tell there was a female singer in the mix. Why split the royalities? B-)
