The Emotions are an American doo-wop vocal group from New York City, United States. The group was formed in 1958 by Joe Favale (lead vocal, b.1940), who had been singing with a group called The Moments, and Tony Maltese (tenor), who had another group, The Runarounds. They recruited singers Dom Colurra (bass), Larry Cusamano (second tenor) and Joe Nigro (baritone), and found a manager, Henry Boye. Initially calling themselves The Runarounds, they renamed themselves as The Emotions in 1959. In 1962, they won a contract with Kapp Records, and released "Echo", a song written by Favale but credited jointly to the group and Boye. The record was chosen as a "pick hit of the week" by leading DJ Murray the K, and rose to number 76 on the Billboard pop chart.
