Claudette singing lead

[Optimal Saint]

I know when Smokey was really sick with the flu the Miracles still went on tour with Claudette singing lead

Are there any recordings or videos of this?

If so, I'd be very curious to see/hear them

This was so early on that I doubt there are any professional videos or recordings of these shows. But it is a nice thought that maybe someone has some home videos of these performances.

There are two tracks from lead singer Claudette, one is "Father Dear" 1963 Unissued, however it was included on the "Miracles 35th Anniversary 1997 Set" and the other "Wine,Women & Song" 45 Tamla T-54318F 1980.

I have them both

She also sang the lead on Mr Misery

"Mr Misery" is one of her best, however it was not issued until 1999. What a waste until then.
We need more!

I love "Mr. Misery." Claudette recorded some great songs. I would love to see footage of her performing live with the group. She was an integral part of their sound.

love her duet with Smokey "If I Were A Bell"
