Sisters Love
Based In Los Angeles, Sisters Love were originally Vermettya Royster (lead vocals), Jeanne Long, Lillie Fort, Gwen Berry and founder member Merry Clayton. In the mid-60s the group signed with A&M and scored a series of American r&b hits with songs including 'Forget It, I've Got It' before they switched to the Mowest label (via Motown) following the departure of Merry Clayton.
Here they scored further success in the early 70s with songs including 'Mr Fix-It man' (written and produced by Willie Hutch, 1972) and the Curtis Mayfield song 'Give Me Your Love' (1973), originally recorded by Curtis on his Superfly album, and produced for Sisters Love by Gloria Jones and Paul Riser. Also in 1973 they played cameo roles in the film The Mack, the soundtrack becoming a solo album for their regular producer Willie Hutch.
'Gimme Your Love' became in demand on the UK 'rare groove' scene in the mid-80s, prompting its re-release on Motown, while Vermettya re-recorded the song as a solo artist on the UK Motorcity label in 1991.
I'd never looked up that entry before, anybody heard the solo version from '91? I'm guessing
best,
Tobias
Somebody needs to release this so I can hang it on my wall o' raers
