Emotions is the fourth studio album by American pop and country artist Brenda Lee. The album was released April 3, 1961 on Decca Records and was produced by Owen Bradley. It was one of two studio albums released by Lee in 1961 and its title track spawned from the album became a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 the same year.
Background and content
Emotions was recorded in seven sessions between August 16, 1960 and January 19, 1961 all at the Bradley Film and Recording Studio located in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Like Lee's previously released This Is...Brenda, the album's production mixed the sounds of Rockabilly with the Nashville Sound production, according to Richie Unterberger of Allmusic. Seven of the album's twelve tracks were cover versions. The album's eighth track "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" was a remake of the single by The Shirelles and the songs "Georgia on My Mind" and "Swanee River Rock" were previously recorded by Ray Charles. While Unterberger found that the songs seemed to be on the "filler side", he still felt that Lee "brought commitment to each and every one of her vocals." Also included on the album was two songs co-written by American country artist Mel Tillis: "Emotions" and "Crazy Talk". The album received four out of five stars from reviewer Richie Unterberger, who stated, "While it was the kind of record that could appeal to both kids and adults, it wasn't watered down, as the production on its own was pretty delightful to listen to, matched by the excellence of Lee's incredibly (for a teenager) mature vocals."Emotions was issued originally as an LP record upon its initial release, with six songs on each side of the record. The album has been reissued and released on a compact disc in the United Kingdom.
Carey was sent to work with the C+C Music Factory and they composed the song "You're So Cold", which became the first choice for the album's first single. However, a second session with the production team had them feeling in a lighter mood when "Emotions" was created and finally decided upon as the lead single.
Composition
"Emotions" is a disco song and it is written in the key of C major. Carey usually prefers to transpose the key to B♭ major when performing live (one example of this is on MTV Unplugged). Carey's vocal range spans more than four octaves on the track, from C3 to E7. The song tested and challenged Carey's vocal range and is her first song to require the execution of multiple whistle notes. The sheet music of the song has a 8va marking on the last part of the song.
Mix magazine is a periodical, billing itself as "the world's leading magazine for the professional recording and sound production technology industry". The magazine is headquartered in New York City and distributed in 94 countries. Its Korean version, Mix Korea, was started in 2007.
A DJ mix or DJ mixset is a sequence of musical tracks typically mixed together to appear as one continuous track. DJ mixes are usually performed using a DJ mixer and multiple sounds sources, such as turntables, CD players, digital audio players or computer sound cards, sometimes with the addition of samplers and effects units, although it's possible to create one using sound editing software.
DJ mixing is significantly different from live sound mixing. Remix services were offered beginning in the late 1970s in order to provide music which was more easily beatmixed by DJs for the dancefloor. One of the earliest DJs to refine their mixing skills was DJ Kool Herc.Francis Grasso was the first DJ to use headphones and a basic form of mixing at the New York nightclub Sanctuary. Upon its release in 2000, Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Presents: Another World became the biggest selling dj mix album in the US.
Music
A DJ mix is often put together with music from genres that fit into the more general term electronic dance music. Other genres mixed by DJ includes hip hop, breakbeat and disco. Four on the floor disco beats can be used to create seamless mixes so as to keep dancers locked to the dancefloor. Two of main characteristics of music used in dj mixes is a dominant bassline and repetitive beats. Music mixed by djs usually has a tempo which ranges from 120 bpm up to 160 bpm.

Emotions
What are you doing?
Oh, don't you know
Don't you know you'll be my ruin?
You've got me crying, crying again
When will you let this heartache end?
Emotions
You get me upset
Why make me remember, what I wanna forget?
I've been lonely, lonely too long
Emotions, please leave me alone
You worry my days
Yes, you torture my nights
Never a dream
No, those dreams never turn out right
Emotions
Ah, give me a break
Let me forget that I made a mistake
Oh, can't you see, what you're doing to me?

Brenda Lee - Emotions (1961) (LP Original Sound)
On my youtube channels "Original Sixties Vinyl Jukebox" you can find music of the sixties as it was printed on vinyl records of that time. From the end of the classical rock n roll era, through surfmusic, jazz, bigbeat to hippie music. The sound on the videos is authentic, recorded to your computer and only slightly modified. At the beginning of each video there is information about the artist, song title, album name, state and year of release, as well as publishing details and the release number of that record. All LPs are authentic and original - made in the year I present. Usually they are LPs from the USA, UK, France, Italy, or Japan.

feminine rage - emotions by Brenda Lee
"Almost every woman I have
ever met has a secret belief
that she is just on the edge of
madness, that there is some
deep, crazy part within her,
that she must be on guard
constantly against losing
control'
of her temper, of
her appetite, of her sexuality,
of her feelings, of her
ambition, of her secret
fantasies, of her mind."
