Rare Groove

"Based In Los Angeles, the Sisters Love were originally Vermettya Royster (lead vocals), Jeanne Long, Lillie Fort, Gwen Berry and founding member Merry Clayton. Clayton is famous for her session work in the late 60's and 70s and even released some obscure records of her own. She left the group after a label change.



Peaking in the 1970's the group scored regional success with "Mr Fix it" and "Give me your love", a Curtis Mayfield gem. The latter was made popular again in the late 70's by DJ Danny Krivit that was a underground disco favorite. The eight minute jam will have you bouncing off the walls.



This is a essential release for any fan of 70's soul/funk. This group never released any full fledged albums but did some work with Motown/A&M Records. Their soaring vocals and harmonies over funky drums and bass lines would please anybody. Just play the remake of the Beatles "Blackbird" or "Now is the time". Other great cuts include "Im learning to trust my man" and "HA HA HA"......You will be in soul heaven!

"

70's female soul at it's best.

"Great CD.



This group was a relative unknown in the 70's but if you watched the Blackplotation movie "The Mack" starring Max Julian & Richard Pryor and remember the movie scene about the Player's Ball" that female group putting down the live funk singing "Now Is the Time" were The Sisters Love.



This is raw soul music at its best and the gospel inspired voices mixed with the funky soul music throughout this CD is a must have "rare to find" CD.



This one is a must have for any music collection."
