Jean Knight, Soul Singer Known for Feisty 1971 Hit ‘Mr. Big Stuff,’ Dies at 80

Recorded at Malaco Studio, Jackson, Mississippi, went #1 on the R&B Charts...

On the pop and R&B charts for 16 weeks and was double platinum, also nominated for a Grammy.
 
"Mr. Big Stuff" has a notable drum break, wonder if an edit follows to another take? The usual conversation about mono vs stereo versions apply to this song. I seem to recall hearing some off center pressings of the single. Was Jean Knight related to Frederick Knight? I think "Mr. Big Stuff" could have been an inspiration for the groove of some of the Hialeah FL. R&B artists.

This is one of those records that simply did not need a jock doing an intro, although many certainly could not resist.
