Thank you, thruthealcove! I first bought Mr Fix It Man in '79, only 'cos a friend of mine was knicknamed Mr Fix It, but I was floored by the lead singer's voice. Now you tell me she was none other than Merri Clayton, who sang the wiiild and wicked 'Rape, Murder' parts on the Rolling Stones track Gimme Shelter! Isn't she also the sister of Sam Clayton from Little Feat, I heard? Thanks for your info and your research; invaluable... from a UK soul fan who never stops learning :0)

@dustybottoms10 No, Vermettya Royster does the lead vocal on "Mr. Fix-It Man", not Merry Clayton. And yes, Sam is Merry's brother. So glad you enjoyed this video!

You never cease to amaze me alcove!! I love you!! ha, haaaaa...I didn't think anyone remembered the "Sister's Love"!!! They were some of the baddest singin' sistah souljah's around! Weren't they fierce on Soul train?!!!!!!!! Merry Clayton did the original Shoop shoop song too, but Betty Everett did the heck out of it too! You're my true family...

OMG YES, their appearance on Soul Train was CRAZY, I don't think they were ready for them!!! LOL Singers like them always get swept under the rug, which is cool by me cuz I always go for the underdogs. I love Merry too, she got some pipes on her!!! LOL I'm so glad you saw this vid, it's one of my faves, thanks so much, good to hear from you too!!!

I love them too. The first song I heard was Mr. Fix-it, on a Tamla Motown compilation early 70's. I bought the comp that period, and have remembered them since. So I have the cd you mentions, and I do recommend the cd too!

[thruthealcove]

So good to know other fans out there!!! I wish they were bigger in terms of fame & noteriety, but it's okay, they're like our little musical secret!!! LOL

I'm ABSOLUTELY FLOORED ! You ARE THE MAN. I'm not worthy. ( bowing)

[thruthealcove]

They were just the BEST!!! And yes, I heard about that, but when I made this video, that was the only thing out by them, which was REALL disappointing, but better than nothing. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Motown/Universal is behing this new one & that they do it right, they deserve better!!!
