Katlego beesnaar man you don't even know. I was in California at the time and every chance I got I was in Los Angeles at the clubs. L.A. was on fire at that time and the clubs was always jumping. Sister Sledge's music was all over the place. Nile and Bernard are pure genius. They were the perfect Producers for the sisters.
