Here’s more via TMZ:
Pam was the youngest of the famous trio — her older sister, Wanda and Sheila are a good 5 to 7 years older than her … which might have to do with the fact that Pam actually replaced the other original sister, Jeanette. Despite their age differences, The Emotions left their mark in music history … of course, with a major contribution of Pamela as one their key singers.
The group got its start in the ’60s, but skyrocketed to mainstream fame in the 70s with a string of hits that landed on the Billboard charts. They’re perhaps best known for their single “Best of My Love,” but they also have a legendary collab with Earth, Wind and Fire.
The Emotions are featured on EWF’s late 70s hit “Boogie Wonderland” — a gig that landed them a Grammy nomination. Over the span of their multi-decade career, they cranked out 9 albums … 2 of which were certified gold, and one went on to platinum status. The Emotions pumped out countless singles too.
Our condolences to the the Hutchinson sisters and families
