Sisters Love were blessed with a lead singer, Vermettya Royster, who put the "D" in the word Diva. In recent years, people have raved over Jennifer Holliday, Jennifer Hudson, Martha Wash, Fantasia Barrino, and currently Lakisha and Malinda on American Idol. Well they all pale into insignificance next to the sheer awe of the mighty Vermettya Royster. Vermettya has always been and remains the lead vocalist of SISTERS LOVE. While still recording with the group, when we did the whole Motorcity project. This remake of one of the Sisters Love classics, "I'm Learning To Trust My Man", was a song that was easily one of the biggest Northern Soul hits of all time, and so rare on an original 45. Sisters Love started out with A&M Records in the mid-sixties with a string of soul hits, hitting big with "Forget It I've Got It". They then joined MOTOWN's new West Coast label in the late sixties, MOWEST, turning out classic after classic such as "Mr. Fixit Man", "I'm Learning To Trust My Man", and "Give Me Your Love" (the song that first appeared as a CURTIS MAYFIELD recording on the 'Superfly' movie soundtrack album). The group were disbanded for many years, but thanks to the hard work and efforts of Vermettya Royster and RUDY CALVO, reformed and came back together again and recorded for MOTORCITY RECORDS, and they completed many tracks, including "No More Broken Hearts" (an early Motorcity 12" release - catalogue number MOTC3), "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning" (available on a various artists CD, "Motorcity Magic" - catalogue number CDMOTCLP55), and "Something About You" (available on the various artists CD "Nowhere To Run" - catalogue number CDMOTCLP57). When we filmed "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", Rudy Calvo went one step further, and got the whole original line-up of Sisters Love back together for "I'm Learning To Trust My Man".The utterly fabulous Vermettya redefines the word "Diva" with a Capital "D". Larger than life and utterly utterly outrageous

Saw the Sisters Love live in 1972 on the same bill as the Jackson 5 at Manchester's Belle Vue. Will never forget them or the concert. Brill remake, especially with the authentic drum sounds which were a later remix I believe. Just great.
