Description: The Detroit Emeralds brought a slice of Motor City soul to midtown Manhattan for the cover of *You Want It, You Got It* (1972), posing with cool precision against the sleek, businesslike streetscape of New York, NY 10022. At a time when funk and soul were tightening up and polishing their sound, the group’s sharp suits and urbane stance mirrored the album’s mix of street grit and crossover ambition. Standing on this corner today, you can almost hear the tight rhythm sections and sweet vocal stacks that helped define early-’70s R&B. This spot is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
