Sister Sledge was an American female group composed of members of the Sledge family. Formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1965, the group originally consisted of sisters Debbie, Joni, Kim and Kathy Sledge. Their music spans R&B, disco, pop, rock and Philly soul. Sister Sledge first performed in talent shows and clubs in Philadelphia and eventually signed with Money Back Records. In 1972, they left the label and signed with Atco Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, where they released two Top 10 dance singles: “Love Don’t You Go Through No Changes on Me” (1974) and “Pain Reliever” (1975). In 1976, the group was moved to another Atlantic subsidiary, Cotillion Records. Between 1977 and 1983, they released six studio albums, including the successful We Are Family (1979) and Love Somebody Today (1980). Their hit singles from this era include “He’s the Greatest Dancer” (1979), “We Are Family” (1979), “Lost in Music” (1979), “All American Girls” (1981) and “My Guy” (1982). In the mid‑1980s, the group experienced a resurgence in mainstream popularity when “Thinking of You” and a remix of “Lost in Music” reached No. 4 in the United Kingdom. In 1985, their single “Frankie” topped the UK Singles Chart for four consecutive weeks and became the fifth best‑selling single in the UK that year. In 1989, lead singer Kathy Sledge left the group to pursue a solo career. The remaining three members released the poorly received compilation And Now… Sledge… Again in 1992, featuring re‑recordings of earlier hits. In 1993, Kathy rejoined the group for a European tour after dance remixes of “We Are Family,” “Lost in Music,” and “Thinking of You” returned to the UK Top 40. From 2000 to 2003, the four original members reunited for special occasions, including events connected to the We Are Family Foundation.
