Mudslide Hits Singer Wanda Vaughn's Home

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) -- Singer Wanda Vaughn of The Emotions was forced to dash out of her home after a torrent of mud crashed down a hill and poured into her kitchen and living room, authorities said.

The mudslide Wednesday may have been caused by a leaking irrigation pipe found at a cemetery up the hill from her house, said city fire Capt. Steve Parrish.

"It's like one of those 'Jurassic Park' things, you know, but it was just mud, and it kept getting higher," said Vaughn, whose R&B group is best known for the 1970s songs "Best of My Love," "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" and "Don't Ask My Neighbors."

The singer's daughter, Whitney Vaughn, was trapped in mud that piled 8 to 16 inches high, and she injured a knee while trying to make her way out of the muck, Parrish said.

"It was like quicksand, it was bad," she told KNBC-TV.

Vaughn grabbed her awards before leaving her home, including her Grammy. Ironically the home was flooded with mud as the 48th annual Grammy Awards was taking place a few miles away at Los Angeles' downtown Staples Center.

Building inspectors deemed the home dangerous and evacuated Vaughn's family and two neighboring homes, Parrish said.

Great clip.

Was any of that live? I know Soul Train makes everyone lip synch, and most the music and BG vox were the record, but it sounded like the lead might have been live at some parts.

I would love to find a live vesion of Emotions singing. I actually had tickets to a musical starring them at Lincoln Center for New Years Eve like 8 years ago and it was cancelled the day of. sad
