    Sisters Love Performing Mr Fix It Man

    Just in case it hasn't been posted before [[search proved fruitless) - here's Sister's Love with "Mr Fix It Man". Saw them with The Jackson 5 November 1972.

    A rare and enjoyable video, mystery. It's a shame there are so few videos available of Sisters Love. Some of their Motown tracks were actually quite hip & hot, although I think they might have had more success had they been signed to Atlantic or Stax.

    There's a definite Stax feel to this one - perhaps it should have been released on Weed.

    Yes Indeed; "Mr. Fix It Man" by Sisters Love does have a Stax/Southern Soul vibe to it [and putting out on the 'one shot' Weed imprint would not have helped the song do any better than it did on MoWest-LOL]. Thanks for posting the video.

    PS: Almost forgot the trademark that Motown used for their Weed label; definitely influenced by the one Stax began using in 1968.

    There are still several Motown and A&M tracks that were never released.

    Judging by the lack of interest in this thread it might be best if any unreleased tracks stay in the vaults.

    Not a great number, but still around ten Motown tracks.

    Agreed but only last year the Sisters Love "With Love" album was re-released in Japan.
