Label: Real Gone Music

Reissued 2/20/2026, Originally released 1971

Girl group greatness, courtesy of the Chicago-based Hutchinson Sisters (with Theresa Davis on this record) and co-producers Isaac Hayes, David Porter and Ronnie Williams! Recording at Muscle Shoals and Stax studios seems to have added a little grit to The Emotions’ sound, too; this 1971 classic on the Volt label offers the perfect blend of sweet and sassy. “Show Me How” was the hit, but it’s “Blind Alley” that made Untouched one of the most collectible albums of its kind: that track’s one of the most sampled in all of pop and hip hop, most notably by Big Daddy Kane (“Ain’t No Half-Steppin’”) and Mariah Carey (“Dreamlover”). Pressed in black and clearwater blue vinyl editions, and cut ALL-ANALOG from the original two-track master!
