THESE LADIES ARE ON FIRE!!! SISTER SLEDGE - HE'S THE GREATEST DANCER (REACTION)

[@keithespinoza2064]

I graduated high school in 1979. You gotta do “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now” by McFadden & Whitehead. One of the greatest songs of that era!

[@joannbrooker9282]

I loved Sister Sledge! They really had some good songs. I was saddened and shocked when Joni passed away far too soon. She was my favorite in the group. Thank God the music lives on for us to enjoy. Peace and blessings.

[@TheBlack-my5yf]

You can feel the Chic vibe in this song. Chic's Nile Rogers produced Sister Sledge during this period.

[@briansredd]

Sister Sledge had little to nothing to do with this album. The label wanted Nile to produce The Rolling Stones, & Nile wasn't about to tell Keith Richards how to make a record. So, he asked them to just give him an artist they had signed that never did anything. Sister Sledge was that act

[@yousexymf]

Why do people always forget Bernard Edwards. Chic wouldn't be what is was without him and that BASS!!! Nile and Bernard worked with Sister Sledge and Diana Ross.

[@cjasewell]

@@yousexymf Was going to say the same: co-producer, co-writer, and co-arranger. And Tony Thompson on drums.

[@rogerdodger6025]

You two are the first to do a Sister Sledge reaction to my knowledge. Their other big hit was "We Are Family" well worth checkin' out.

[@imnojoke1945]

No they're been others reactors that did sister sledge

[@naturalsovereign9761]

Any Nile's Rodgers productions is worth checking out.

[@ISVVVc628]

Check out "Thinking of you" by Sister Sledge

[@mangri71]

They had so many hits... We are family, All american girls, Frankie, Thinking of you, Lost in music 🎶 Dancing on the jagge edge, When the boys meet the girls... All worth checking out 💃💓

[@adamscott98]

Another Nile Rodgers masterpiece. The most underrated musician ever

[@lisawillingham3481]

Don't forget about Bernard Edward's, the co-producer

[@adamscott98]

@@lisawillingham3481 died too young :(

[@delisamarchetti5926]

That was so much fun! Brings back memories, I was still too young in 79 to go to real "discos" but boy I sure learned all the dances and practiced them at home and "boogied on down" at school dances, wedding receptions and such. I don't think a day went by that I did not race home from school and put on my disco albums and practice my steps in front of the mirror. My Mom loved to dance too but was in a wheelchair. We often play my albums in the living room and she would watch me and give tips. Or help me work out a difficult step we had seen on tv. We always watched the disco dance shows together that were popular at the time. The music always makes me feel happy. :)

[@ronaldmillner6387]

Nile Rodgers on guitar and the late great Benard Edwards on bass. They wrote the entire album. The male dancer was Nile Rodgers I believe

[@mojo9883]

Love Sister Sledge. Went to high school with Debra Sledge.

[@miguelbotelho2613]

God almighty ! I haven’t heard this in like 30+ years?? Love it.

[@williamhenderson1521]

"We are Family" is absolutely essential!

[@bjm9071]

Like Will Smith,, these sisters are from Philadelphia! They are best known for their song "We Are Family", played at so many family reunions, weddings, etc.

[@lanceflx63]

This song was and is still 🔥…it was produced by CHIC. CHIC took these sisters to superstar level. “Thinking Of You” and “Lost In Music” were two other big hits from this same album. Again this is bonafide classic!

[@CarlosAntonio-zq1to]

Yes...

[@onlyforwatchingvids2086]

Even ”He’s the greatest dancer and We’re Family” too

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

Sister Sledge was one of the great sister acts of the late seventies/early eighties along with The Pointer sisters and the Emotions! Their biggest hit by far was We Are Family! This song was produced by the great Nile Rogers of Chic and you can tell by that guitar riff!❤️❤️

[@cjasewell]

... and the great Bernard Edwards.

[@lindadanzey3823]

You guys need to listen to "We Are Family" these young ladies used to sing at a club down the street from my house in Newark the club name was someplace else free-of-charge just go in and listen to them sing those were the days the year was 72 I'm enjoying your reactions because I'm reacting to you LOL🤩🤩🤩

[@richardcogbill6791]

After 42 years this beat is still rockin it ! The extended version is nearly 6 mins long. No cell phones back then to distract us from this jam. It was good times.

[@jonnno243]

And all held together by the superb bass of Bernard Edwards

[@kabirahnazeem9403]

Sister Sledge = We are Family was their biggest hit. Check it out

[@bencolquitt7828]

Sister Sledge, loved them in late 70s, and early 80s, had forgot about S.S. listen to them a lot from 15 yr to 18 yr old I'm going to look S.S. up. thank you S&M and OG mike awesome pick OG loved them.

[@Madminute1968]

The lead guitarist and the bass guitarist are outstanding, true professionals!!!!!!!

[@azz2012]

" Thinking of you" is another great title by the sister sledge . Always fun to watch your reactions. 🖐️🇨🇵

[@hhaden8961]

Being from Philadelphia originally, there’s nothing that is so fantastic, uplifting, and gets you on your feet dancing 💃 🕺more than the Philly Music Scene in the 1970’s. Check out TSOP, The Three Degrees, When will I see you again. So many classic songs from that time

[@ajruther67]

I love hearing how couples met. Thank you for sharing that with us!

[@rhondanelson7218]

Yes, Sister Sledge!! I think you already did we are family now you have to react to Thinking of you.

[@colibri1]

A song from the same year that had a similar rhythm guitar riff was the Whispers' "And the Beat Goes On."

[@reshaud81]

All American Girls is another banger by Sister Sledge worth reacting to!

[@kathrynkissane5144]

Yes!!! And omg...the Pointer Sisters!!!!!!!!

[@21paulst]

Yes! Please listen to "Yes We Can Can" by the Pointer Sisters.

[@HhEeAaDd]

They were the first artists EVER to name drop fashion designers💯 Trend setters 🤌🏽 Gotta do some more Sister Sledge reactions ❤️. By the way I can tell y’all from Baltimore 🤣 shoutout my DMV bro & sis 💪🏽

[@nenelles-dancelikenobodysw8511]

Danced to this one for years! Love Chic ❤❤❤ Disco was made for dancin baby!!! Dancing 💃 👯‍♀️ 🕺 and well... you know...

[@21paulst]

You guys are the greatest! You always bring joy and put a smile on my face. Thank you so much!!!

[@ajruther67]

*Sister Sledge - We Are Family* It was their first and biggest hit. They are all sisters. The youngest sings lead and she was just a teenager.

[@t.r.1708]

Thx! You guys always make my day! Sister Sledge always makes me move! How about some Rascals “People got to be free!”

[@clairethompson4736]

Taking me back! I remember rocking that hair style! 😁

[@willie417]

the year 1979, watching these reaction video, bring back memories of the songs I've long forgotten and I like seeing the reactions to them too😁

[@deannajones3849]

I had this on vinyl!

[@catserver8577]

As a little girl, thought they looked and danced like magical fairy princesses!

[@liamwilliams6088]

Sister Sledge was an awesome group of, well sisters, and awesome vocals and I mean what a song. Fun fact, many years lady a young artist at the time, Will Smith, sampled this song which he used on "Gettin' Giggy Wit It" adding to this, you may also be surprised that the rhythm guitarist feat in this song is none other than Nile Rodgers, who has collaborated with other artists such as Chic, David Bowie and many, many others, his talents are so recognizable, chances are you, somewhere at some point you may have heard many of his collaborations over the years

[@sandranettles4833]

Sister Sledge was ahhhhmmmaaazzzziiinnng

[@spedboy1966]

"We are Family" another great song.

[@lalba07]

Sister Sledge! YES! My ladies! Early childhood memories for me with these lovely ladies 🎸💋👠👠🎵🎶 Back in the day, DJ at my big Italian family weddings always played Sister Sledge. The dance floor was packed! Sweet story of how you both met 😍😜🕺🏾

[@supersonicsoulsupreme1414]

Nice someone has finally reacted to this group. They might have scored big in the late '70s/ 80s with the hits. These ladies have been around since the mid 70s.Their album circle of Love had some Great cuts on it especially the song pain reliever. Also check out the song hey Frankie and their version of my guy both which were recorded in the '80s 👍👍✌️

[@briansredd]

This whole album was basically the band Chic.

[@billb6959]

Wow I roll skeeted to this song when I was like about 10 years old

[@you2449]

wow - - can't believe you guys found This old disco classic!

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers

Sister Sledge was just so amazingly fun.

[@TheRealJaneSeymour]

Sister Sledge was also on the Jeffersons! I absolutely love their version of Stevie Wonders song 'As' the way the sing it is just amazing

[@Kelly-just-kelly]

[@janiceking1418]

The 70s were a great time....of course music. You guys would of fit right in!

[@kevcall]

Lost in music, we are family..

[@peterfromgermany2431]

They had a Number on Song in the UK with „Frankie“ in the 80‘!

[@jom7604]

Grew up on this music. Also, was the theme song when Pittsburgh won the World Series and Super Bowl. They were awesome!

[@jom7604]

We are Family

[@XtinaDaily]

I was going to request this song, but you both already did it. This song is amazing

[@phillyphan1225]

My favorite by SS-we are family gets the play but this is the jam from back in the day!

[@cupcakes7015]

Right ✅ 6/9/2022

[@geetee4459]

This was intended to be a Chic song. Then Bernard & Nile realised their Sister Sledge album needed a more up-tempo song (Chic album already had ';Le Freak') so they swapped this song with 'I Want Your Love' - both great songs and both great albums.

[@rettathomas837]

Sister Sledge we are family , You’ll love it

[@jbsskid]

Love to dance to this group back in the day lol 🤣

[@hazelanglin5907]

You're bringing me back to my 20's

[@kurtadams3021]

My beautiful beloved Philly sisters

[@bobr4987]

You guys should react to singer Tony Joe White's song " Rainy Night In Georgia". Tony wrote the song in 1970. He's a great performer!

[@jeffreyriley8742]

Greatest...groove...ever.

[@naturesounds-ib5dh]

Did a lot of dancing to this one!

[@talos2373]

Man oh man I danced to this song in discos while in the Navy, yeah oh yeah and the girls were dressed to kill.

[@kerryscott7268]

Please react to Taste of Honey / Boogie Oogie oogie ❤️

[@DDP-b3o]

No doubt Nile was key in a lot of song writing and production back then, but let's not forget another key component which was his partner Bernard Edward's (bassist). He was right there beside Nile on a lot of those productions

[@naturalsovereign9761]

Niles po produced huge acts like David Bowie Diana Ross. DURAN DURAN huge fir their time, who he said was his second band. Chic of course first, You can hear Nile Rodgers all through union of the snake by Duran. He could have given the instrumental to both Chic and Sledge even back in their time.

[@DDP-b3o]

There are more docs on Bernard and Nile out there and in one they talk about how both of them wrote and produced many of their earlier acts. No disrespect to Nile because Chic was and is one of my favorite groups of all time, but it's a little more convenient for him to discuss shop today when Bernard's not around to validate his role in the partnership. Nile may have had a more creative role but it doesn't negate the influence that Bernard brought to the table. Just saying.

[@TheycallmeMo1111]

A lot of us New Yorkers used to sing the wrong lyrics to this song for years. We thought they were saying "I wonder why he's the greatest dancer" instead of "Oh What Wow" lol. Some of us still sing the wrong words 😅

[@harpergras]

Check out " We Are Family '...It`s their most famous song...You both will love it.

[@carollittle1059]

show were fantastic

[@phillipstephens4522]

Shawn and Mel -- you should also check out the Millie Jackson album -- Live and Uncensored. It's terrific!!

[@djscott1129]

Luther Vandross on background vocals. He produced their vocal sound.

[@michaelwilliams-vu2nf]

A great skating song and another great skating song is Von Mason and crew Roll Bounce Skate

[@ellenjones7819]

Will Smith did sample this song. Both he and Sister Sledge are from Philadelphia.

[@XtinaDaily]

Request: Chic - I Want Your Love Sylvester - You Make Me Feel The Corrs - Only When I Sleep Garbage - The World Is Not Enough Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay George Michael - Outside George Michael - Too Funky Christina Aguilera - The Voice Within

[@ronaldmillner6387]

Words and music by Nile Roger's and Bernard Edwards of Chic

[@invisiblematrixx761]

These are all oldies but goodies! The early and late 70's were a good decade for great music and lots of great talent which is very lacking in today's music not to throw shade on anyone back then the music industry was so competitive as far as being unique different not everyone sounding like a auto tune with fake music back then you had to be able to play your instrument without any hesitation and sing as well if you watch the movie Roll bounce they played a lot of the artists from the 70's including this song.

[@joseibarra627]

Love you guys being bussed East Los Angeles to San Fernando valley long drive

[@MattThompson-ze7ny]

I see alot of people saying that's will smith's get jiggy with it. will smith' made a complete album off of sampled 70,s and 80,s songs

[@soruffsotuff6214]

I was at the Northsea Jazz Festival and Nile Rogers was there..and someone asked him why he was playing other people songs lol...he was mad artist sampling his music and he is not given the credit.

[@pamelawertz498]

Y'all need to do We Are Family by Sister Sledge. Seriously.

[@dwainwilder7337]

Shawn, you picked it up that Will Smith sampled this beat. Let’s see if you could pick out the famous rappers that sampled this song by Diana Ross from 1980; “I’m Coming Out”. You should pick it up right away, it was one of the biggest rap hits from 1997.

[@lauriebarrett6789]

Song suggestion - "Hands up" by Ottawan.

[@salmarin5625]

Do some Corinne Bailey Rae. Like a star

[@byronsanchez8515]

Requested Jackie Moore, Precious Precious play it.
