I CAN'T STAND IT * THE SOUL SISTERS * SUE 312 * UK

On hearing this power house Gospel style Soul performance you might easily believe the Soul Sisters were at least a half dozen rather than just two, but in fact Theresa Cleveland And Ann Gissendanner (not blood sisters) were all there were but they came in the De-Lux size edition (see picture below). They started their recording career as The Canjoes with one Lou Johnson the previous year, I Can't Stand It, which sounds for all the world like a full on protest song, was their first release for the Sue label #799 New York, there were eight more singles on the label.
