Rejoice is a 1977 album by American vocal group The Emotions. Released on January 16, 1977 (US) on Columbia Records, This album was produced by Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire. The album contains the highly successful number one Pop, R&B and Disco hit "Best of My Love", and Rejoice has been certified platinum in the US by the RIAA.Rejoice was also the third bestselling R&B album of 1977. In a 2007 interview when asked which album that he produced, besides those that he did for Earth, Wind & Fire, is his favorite, White replied: "The Emotions's Rejoice because it had a great vibe, a great ‘feel’. Yeah, I'm proud of that production."
The Emotions' most successful album to date Rejoice established them as one of the most successful female groups of the Disco period. Its success was mainly due to the single "Best of My Love". Even though only two singles were released from the album, most of the tracks contained by it enjoyed heavy airplay. The album debuted inside the Top 100 of the Billboard Top 200 and fueled by the immense success of its lead single "Best of My Love" it climbed at #7, quickly going Gold. Supported by the successful single "Don't Ask My Neighbors" the album achieved a slow and smooth descent on the charts which allowed it to eventually be certified Platinum. It is officially their highest certified album by RIAA (the trio also released two Gold albums) and is generally considered to be an album of significant importance for the history of Disco music. In 2012, Gold Legion.com digitally remastered this and released it on CD. Though it does not contain bonus tracks, it does come with a beautifully designed 12 page booklet with liner notes detail the story of this album as told by Wanda Hutchinson-Vaughn.
