Info zu The Sisters (Remastered)

Keeping to their regular routine of releasing an album a year, Sister Sledge emerged in 1982 with The Sisters, their first self-produced effort. Keeping their disco-fied R&B in place, the sisters added a few contemporary kicks to hold their own in a decade fast leaving them behind. The move proved correct, as the group was rewarded with another Top 20 hit. The punchy, horn-heavy, and lightly funky "Super Bad Sisters" not only opens the album in fine style, but also adds a surprising sonic update via a rap from Kenneth and James Williams. Following that feat, though, the rest of the set settles down to soft-edged R&B and mediocre ballads. A less-than-stellar remake of the Mary Wells classic "My Guy" managed to reach number 14 R&B, while a passable duet between Kathy Sledge and David Simmons actually emerges as one of The Sisters' best moments. "Jacki's Theme: There's No Stopping Us," meanwhile, brought the set to a close with its quirky, snap-happy disco grooves. At the end of the day, and despite the fact that it's obvious that the band was still full of good ideas, The Sisters just doesn't reach its full potential. It could be that the band was too far out of its time and place, or that it just didn't have enough oomph to keep its edge, or perhaps it just suffered from production jitters. But ultimately, there are far finer ways to sample the remarkable talents of this R&B powerhouse.

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.
