ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Detroit Emeralds

The Detroit Emeralds developed from a vocal group built around the Tilmon brothers, passing through the Emeralds name before adopting the Detroit identity. Recordings for Ric-Tic included Show Time, and a later move to Westbound brought a broader run of soul records. Baby Let Me Take You (In My Arms) reached American listeners, while Feel the Need in Me became particularly associated with their British success. The group's later history involved several changes of personnel.
