By the time this vid was made, both Sledge sisters had gotten their braces off. Yay! They hit #23 pop in Billboard, 4-3-82. God bless y'all, Sledges! Thanx, friend, for postin' it. Have a blessed rest of the week!
I still have a VHS tape recorded from the spring of 1982 Off of HBO. It had a full, overnight 6 hours of recording. This tech was still very new and very expensive then. But, anyway, I've always kept that tape because it featured "The Haunting of Julia" (obscure, creepy movie with Mia Farrow), "Escape from New York", "The Hand" (Michael Caine), and an episode of "Video Jukebox", which contained this video, "I Love Rock and Roll" (Joan Jett), "Ebony and Ivory" (McCartney and Wonder), and "Physical" (Olivia Newton John). It also has various promos and trailers for then-recent stuff airing on HBO, including "The Legend of the Lone Ranger", "Dead and Buried", and other things. I never really saw this video anywhere else until now.
I miss the way women used to dress back in the old days, I always liked seeing women in sweaters, I thought Sister Sledge pulled off a great version of the classic Mary Wells tune and it's hard to say which version I like better.
I would like to see that !!! How many sweet notes are you going to write to keep a guy around.... Specially when your on the road all the time .... Flying from place to place.... No time for me and I'm a guy ... You keep singing about
Per: www.oldiesmusic.com/news.htm Joni Sledge, founding member of Sister Sledge, was found dead in her Phoenix, Arizona home Friday (March 10th, 2017), she was 60... No cause of death was immediately known. Joni, along with her sisters Debra, Kim and Kathy, formed the group in 1971 in Philadelphia, initially recording for Money Records. A single for Atco Records, "Love Don't You Go Through No Changes On Me" did make it to #92 in 1975 (and took the Silver Prize at the Tokyo Music Festival). But it wasn't until the quartet paired with producers Bernard Edwards and Niles Rogers of Chic that they broke through with "He's The Greatest Dance"(#9 in 1979) on Cotillion Records. It was immediately followed by "We Are Family" (#2* in 1979). But six more chart appearances yielded only one more hit, a cover of Mary Wells' "My Guy" (#23 in 1982). Kathy left for a solo career in 1989, but the remaining three sisters continued performing... May she R.I.P. * The two weeks that "We Are Family" was at #2 on the Top 100 chart, the #1 record for both those weeks was "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer...
Which 2 sisters wore braces in '79. I know it was Kathy, and who else? They hit #23 in Billboard, 4-3-82. God bless ya, sisters! Thanx, for postin' it.
Yes they are! If you’re on Facebook, you should join the 2 groups dedicated to them on there, SISTER SLEDGE & Sister Sledge Legacy Of Love: Reloaded, all 3 surviving members are members of both of the groups; I’m sure you’re aware that Joan passed away in 2017.
These girls were such a class act. They sure don't make em like this no more...
Sorry to say it but all great things must come to an end. RIP Joni. Thank you sister for the beautiful memories.

They do have great harmonies and they are very easy on the eye. I always thought these ladies should have been much bigger career wise
