Info for All American Girls
„After recording two albums under the direction of Chic leaders Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, Sister Sledge surprised the R&B world by working with Narada Michael Walden on All American Girls. The Philadelphia siblings had become identified with the Chic sound, and were ready for a change. It was a gamble that paid off artistically more than commercially. Far from a bomb but not as successful as it deserved to be, the album (reissued on CD in 1995 with informative liner notes by music journalist Gary Jackson) boasts its share of gems, including the hit title song (which, ironically, does have a few Chic-ish touches), the rock-influenced "He's Just a Runaway" and the infectiously funky "Make a Move." Interestingly, "Runaway" didn't became a hit until given a reggae remix that isn't nearly as exciting as the version heard on All American Girls, clearly one of the group's finest accomplishments.“ (Alex Henderson, AMG)

Sister Sledge
The talented Sledge sisters formed Sister Sledge in 1972, and by 1979, they would be recognized for some of the decade's most recognizable hits, including the long-lasting "We Are Family."
Their 1979 album, We Are Family, included not only the title track hit, but also "He's the Greatest Dancer." A year later, Sister Sledge released Love Somebody Today, and the singles "Pretty Baby" and "Got to Love Somebody" both found a home on the charts.
In 1981, Sister Sledge hired Narada Michael Walden as their producer and released All-American Girls. The title track and "Next Time You'll Know" were both hits, and Sister Sledge continued to perform throughout the 1980's and 1990's with new material and additional hits. In 1998, Sister Sledge released African Eyes.
"He's the Greatest Dancer" was brought into the new millennium thanks to a Dannii Minogue cover in 2007 and its sampled use as featured on Will Smith's "Getting' Jiggy Wit It." Other Sister Sledge songs have been remixed and re-released by other bands, both in the United States and in the UK.
Sister Sledge continues to perform regularly, and they were even reunited in 2011 on Oprah Winfrey, for her "Women Who Rock" episode. "We Are Family" was highlighted as one of the most requested songs of all time.
