🇫🇷 Biographie (Français)

Originaires d’Arkansas mais installés à Detroit, The Detroit Emeralds font partie de la scène soul du début des années 70. Avec You Want It, You Got It, leur second album paru chez Westbound Records en 1972, le trio composé de Abrim, Ivory et James Tilmon livre un condensé de soul suave, teintée de funk naissant. Le titre phare, "Baby Let Me Take You (In My Arms)", connaîtra un large succès (Top 10 R&B), devenant un classique des pistes de danse et des samples hip-hop ultérieurs. L’album alterne morceaux dansants et ballades aux harmonies vocales impeccables, dans un style qui évoque les productions de Motown et de Stax.

Their second LP, You Want It, You Got It, released in 1972 on Westbound Records, showcases a tight blend of smooth soul and proto-funk. Featuring the hit single "Baby Let Me Take You (In My Arms)", which cracked the Top 10 R&B chart, the album became a staple of the dancefloor and a source for future hip-hop samples. With lush arrangements and silky harmonies, this record sits comfortably among the soul classics of its era.
