The Emotions

Joe Favale & The Emotions

The Emotions was formed in 1958 by Joe Favale and Tony Maltese. Recently discharged from the Navy Joe began singing with a group from lower Manhattan called The Moments. After a couple of years of performing but having no luck getting a record contract they disbanded. At the same time Tony Maltese's group, The Runarounds decided to call it quits. One night while singing Doo-Wop harmonies together in Maple Lanes bowling alley in Brooklyn they decided to join forces and start a new group. They enlisted the services of Dom Colurra, Larry Cusamano and Joe Nigro. They called themselves The Runarounds, and acquired a personal manager named Henry Boye. A year later they changed their name to The Emotions and got together to rehearse five nights a week in the back of "The Pink And Blue" beauty parlor on Nostrand Avenue. Kids from all over the neighborhood would gather every night at the beauty parlor to enjoy their Doo-Wop harmonies.Their big break came in 1962 when they landed a record contract with Kapp Records. The Emotions first release, "Echo" won "Murray The K's pick hit of the week" contest and went on to become a giant hit, appearing in the top 10 on Billboard and Cashbox's top forty within a short time. In 1963 The Emotions signed with 20th Century Fox and released "Story Untold". Within two weeks the record broke into the top 10.In 1982 Joe Favale re-formed the group to record an album for Columbia'’s "Ambient Sound" label. Now called Joe Favale & The Emotions, the group consisting of Joe Favale, George Winter, Vic Guzman, and Carmine Laietta have been performing ever since. With over 40 years of experience entertaining audiences with their beautiful harmony, crowd pleasing song selection, and hilarious humor they constantly receive standing ovations and audiences asking for more. They’'ve performed at: PNC Arts Center - Holmdel NJ, American Music Theater - Lancaster PA, Northfork Westbury Music Fair - Westbury NY, Atlantic City Convention Center, Meadowlands Race Track - East Rutherford NJ, Patchogue Theater - Patchogue NY, Lyman Auditorium - East Haven CT, Westport Playhouse - Westport CT.Following are comments from audience members after enjoying their performances: "Saw you guys for the first time last evening. A performance we will never forget! The talent, harmony, the dance steps, song selection will never be forgotten. I am a Jersey boy who grew up with Alan Freed, Murray the K and all the rest! Have seen 100 plus shows in the past 4 years and your performance goes to the top!""I caught your show last Sunday afternoon at Forest Park in Woodhaven, Queens. I wished your show never ended. You were fabulous""Great performance at Tilles Center. As tight as I have ever seen you. Just a sensational sounding show. You were the best act at the show. Thanks for making me believe I was back at the Brooklyn Paramount with my friends once again.""I saw your performance last week and you completely blew me away. The memories you brought back brought tears to my eyes, Listening to you sing was incredible enough but keeping me laughing the way you did made your show even more special. I can'’t wait to see you again."
