This whole album and their following one were written and produced by Nile Rodgers the genius behind the group CHIC, (along with Bernard Edwards, the bassist and co-producer) and who has produced huge hits and albums for people like Madonna, Duran Duran, David Bowie, George Michael, Diana Ross and many more. He plays the main rhythm guitar. He, along with Bernard Rogers (RIP), the other founder of CHIC, are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll and Roll Hall of Fame.
Will Smith sampled this song for "Get Jiggy WIth It." This definitely a classic disco tune, and their best known song is "We Are Family." Some other great disco songs I am sure you enjoy are "Knock on Wood" by Amii Stewart and "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste of Honey.
My first concert ever! Great song, their signature song was "We are Family". It swept the nation and became the unofficial theme song of the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates as they went on to win the World Series.
Wow. I knew you'd get to Sister Sledge eventually, but I was sure it would be with "We Are Family" (which was so popular that year that it became the rally song of the Pittsburgh Pirates as they came from behind to win the World Series that year). And yes, they were all sisters! Their names were Debbie, Kim, Kathy, and Joni Sledge, born in Philly. But great to see y'all gettin' jiggy wit this song! :🤣🤣
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT Wilt, m'man, great to hear from you. I was 10YO in 1969. Man, I would have given anything to hit like Dave Parker. (But I was a shrimp in middle school. Zero home runs in 4 years of Little League.)
That song was SO popular, that in the 90's when I ran a karaoke lounge, I had to BAN IT because large groups of people would get up to sing so often we'd heard it 5, 6, 7x's per night!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I know "We Are Family" is the obvious next Sister Sledge track to cover, but please make sure you don't miss "Lost In Music" as well. It's every bit as crammed with Nile Rodgers funktasticness.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 The time when music was music Dance songs were irresistible Singers were singers without autotune Women were gorgeous without surgery... Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards are musical gods. Do a reaction to ALL the songs produced by Nile Rodgers, you can't be disappointed!
It’s been years! Hearing this song. Sister Sledge were the darlings of disco. This song put these ladies on the map and yes they are real life sisters. The debut track was produced by Nile Rodgers bassist for the group CHIC. That group also had enormous success, with hit after hit records during the disco decade.
I loved this group! May have had something to do with the fact that they sang "We Are Family" that in 1979 was the Rally song for my Pittsburgh Pirates. Who came from behind to win the World Series. Willie "Pops" Stargell was just the best. It was the year that all the Pittsburgh teams won, the Steelers won the Super Bowl, the Pirates won the World Series and the Penguins win the Stanley Cup! And the city was .. "All Family"!!! But this song and the whole album (yes album) was fire!!! Nile Rodgers was famous for his bass, you can recognize it in all his songs!! I remember dancing at the disco to this song!!🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛
Nile Rodgers, guitarist, and Bernard Edwards, bassist were the producers of Sister Sledge and a host of other famous singers such as Diana Ross and groups including some of the punk rock ones of the 80s. Truly exceptional musicians and were the brains behind Chic. ALL musik, and I DO MEAN ALL MUSIK WITH NILE RODGERS AND BERNARD EDWARDS NAME ON IT OR BEHIND IT IS EXCEPTIONAL! Every serious musician should study all their music!
Jay & Amber! Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards of the disco group "Chic" play lead and bass guitar, while also producing "Sister Sledge's" album! You can hear the "Chic" influence on this song! You must do the group's biggest hit "We Are Family", the album version! Love, Peace & Blessings!!!
'Thinking of You' is my favourite Sister Sledge song. It's not as "disco" as this one but it has such a sweet lyric and the vocals are gorgeous. They were amazing.
I met Kathy Sledge on the Atlantic City Boardwalk shortly after their first album was released. Not many people knew what she looked like so she was shocked I recognized her. A really nice woman.
Will Smith used this for "Get Jiggy Wit It"! Ok Amber next Friday its Sister Sledge "We Are Family" their biggest hit. This was huge during the disco era.
Guys check out Got To Love Somebody, Reach Your Peak and You Fooled Around- other Sister Sledge grooves written and produced again by CHIC founders Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers!!
These beautiful ladies are amazing! I own their entire catalog...I love their sound so much! You can really go down a rabbit hole of their music, fast, slow or funky. They have it all. I am surprised you aren't familiar with "We Are Family". It's an anthem and is played at a lot of events. "All American Girls" and "He's Just A Runaway" are a couple of my personal favorites!
@@jamesd5118 Yes! Remember "Music Makes Me Feel Good" from that album? What a banger! I was really young and remember visiting a family member in the summer. A guy was walking down the street with a boom box on this shoulder, blasting the song. I think I begged my oldest sister to buy me the album after that!
“We Are Family” was a monster hit for them! You couldn’t escape it! Please react to more female groups - En Vogue, TLC, SWV, Klymaxx, The Mary Jane Girls, Zhane, just to name a few!
"He's the Greatest Dancer" is a 1979 song by the American vocal group Sister Sledge. Released on February 3, 1979, the song was written and composed by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers (from the band "CHIC"), and recorded for the group's successful 1979 album We Are Family. Billboard named the song No. 66 on its list of "100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.
This was such a huge track back in the day, as was "We Are Family", "Lost in Music", and "Thinking of You", later on "All American Girls", and "He's Just a Runaway" one of their earlier hits is "Mama Never Told Me", they're all worth reacting to.
I love the album All American girls especially the rock mix of He's a Runaway. That album was produced by Narada Michael Walden, and I think it's one of their best if not their best album
@@lamusiclover2264 I agree, I loved that album, it didn't do as well as it should have at the time, I'm a big fan of Narada Michael Walden's work anyway, I particularly loved his 'Dance of Life' album.
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. Yes there are a few of his albums that I like and I did like his production style. You basically resurrected Aretha Franklin's career.
The Sisters were solid. Their super hit 'We Are Family' was the theme song of the World Series champs Pittsburg Pirates led by Willie 'Pops' Stargell from Oklahoma. ☮❤🎶
There was a band that used to have a black girl playing the bass and dying did she pluck that thing shake shape play the heck out of it dance the round of shaken oh man she was taste a honey she was in a taste of honey she sang the songs and played the bass boogie boogie Yogi is a song by a taste of honey I hope man that's sweet
Great reacti0on, Jay and Amber! "Creme (pronounced Crem) de la Creme," means Cream of the Cream, in French. We say, "Cream of the Crop," which actually means, "The Best of the Best."
Oh, disco! That feeling of freedom when you were on the floor doing your thing! But there always was this guy or this couple that danced so well you couldn't take your eyes off them! This song describes it perfectly.
They were so gorgeous, tall and elegant. As a kid in the 70s I loved their disco funkiness and their beautiful attire. These ladies were talented and flawless.
The 2 ULTIMATE disco songs for Female Friday, I will Survive by Gloria Gaynor!! Jay will like the vibe, Amber will love the message! And It's raining men by the Weather Girls! You BOTH will be jamming to it, and Amber will love the words!!
Amber loved it. They reacted about 6 months ago to It's Raining Men. I don't remember if Gloria has been on their channel. But that would be a good one!
There's those Niles Rogers of Chic neat guitar riffs that makes his productions so recognizable along with his now deceased partner Bernard Edwards on bass. Also a great example of family harmony vs the harmony with distinct voices like Crosby, Stills and Nash. The lead is Kathy who was the sister with touch of grit in her vocal delivery making her voice distinct from her sisters. A great Sister Sledge tune is Lost In music.
I remember when this album came out. It is a wonderful album. Every song on here I love and it was produced by the great Niles Rogers from the group Chic. You picked a good one. You should check out all the songs on this album!!
Will Smith used this sample for Gettin' Jiggy With It. We are Family is their most famous though (album was produced by Nile Rodgers too of CHIC - FreakOut, Good Times etc).
Hello *The Family,* You should try *"SISTER SLEDGE 'Thinking Of You' (Dimitri From Paris Remix)"* especially selected by *Nile Rodgers* to figure to *"The Chic Organization (2010)"* box set listing all the greatest titles of this producer and genius musician. It was remastered in 2018. "Thinking Of You" is out in 1984, and 1993 for the remix. Peace, folks. ☮🤗
YES!!! I've always loved Kathy's voice. Did you know that "Thinking of You" was re-introduced to the public during the beginning of the pandemic? A famous DJ started playing music live from his home to lift everyone's spirits and it was a requested favorite!

This song personified the disco era for me. The clothes, the style, the attitude, the sound, the dance moves, the beat. This is disco all wrapped up in one song.
I loved Sister Sledge. The biggest hit of all time is "We Are Family." Please react to En Vogue, they were the standard for girl groups of the 90's. Their first #1 hit was "Hold On."
Omg, Funky Divas was one of the greatest albums of the 90s!!! Hold On, My Lovin (Never Gonna Get It,) Giving Him Something He Can Feel, Give It Up Turn It Loose, Love Don't Love You, and Free Your Mind-- so, SOOOOO good!!! 🤩
Legendary Rhythm guitarist, Nile Rodgers played Rhythm lead for many artists and Bernard Edwards played bass alongside Nile on many hits along the way, they were both legends in their own right, with Edwards and Rogers featured on 'Chic's hit single 'Le Freak' Rogers was also C0-Founder of 'Chic'. Nile Rodgers is a record producer, songwriter, musician, composer, arranger, and guitarist. Bernard Edwards was an American bass player and record producer, known primarily for his work in disco music with guitarist Nile Rodgers, with whom he co-founded Chic, for the record. Thanks, Rob Squad Nation for this classic upload..Hello from Brisbane, Australia
If J loves the bass line in this, you’ve got to cover CHIC!! The great Bernard Edwards on bass and Nile Rodgers on guitar, the two founders of CHIC, are considered super producers. From Sister Sledge to Madonna to Diana Ross, the B-52s, Duran Duran and David Bowie. So many more! You’ve covered so many of the artists they’ve written and produced, but not CHIC! Got to check them out! CHIC is amazing!!
This song makes you groove, reminds me of my block in Queens, NY 1978. Please react to "Pointer Sisters - Automatic", "Quincy Jones - Ai No Corrida", "Patrick Hernandez - Born to be Alive", "Andrea True Connection - More, More, More", "The Trammps - Disco Inferno"
Gotta give a shout out to one of the greatest guitarists who ever played the instrument…Mr. Nile Rodgers. He was a member of Chic and loaned his immense talent to everyone from Diana Ross to David Bowie to Daft Punk. He’s the GOAT…for real! ❤
Sister Sledge was huge in the late seventies/early eighties! Will Smith sampled this song for his hit “Getting Jiggy Wit It”! Also, you can here that undeniable Nile Rogers (Chic) base riff, he produced this song! They had so many dance hits, the biggest was called “We Are Family”! That song was everywhere! ❤❤
This was a roller skate rink song . You should watch the movie Roll Bounce with Lil bow wow. It has a bunch of songs like this . Roll bounce is must watch movie .
Evelyn Champagne King - (( SHAME )) and (( LOVE COME DOWN )) two of her most Famous 70s and 80s songs get your Dancing shoes and down to the classic Disco the first song features some of the best Saxophone play ever along with lots of groovy fancy beats
Love the vocal! Love the bass line! I love the orchestral arrangement! Love it all! Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards wrote many of Sister Sledge's hits! Nile and Nard were one of the BEST writing duos in the 1970s and 80s. Bernard's "Chucking" bass playing style is unmatched! It's a slight that the band Chic still isn't in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! In fact, they've been nomiated 11 times! They officially became the most nominated act in the Hall's history to not earn induction! Great that they've gotten their due, named to the Songwriters Hall of Fame! 😊👏🏾♬🎤🎶🎸🥁🎷🎹
I will never apologize for loving disco! I miss those days when these ladies graced the billboards top 💯 and laid down some of the smoothest sounds and driving beats! I love all kinds of music but when I gotta move only disco will scratch that itch!
Two things about this record…first…that signature Nile Rodgers rhythm guitar…he actually has two different riffs on this…and the breakdown….this was the era of the Disco 12” singles…single songs that were pressed on album sized vinyl instead of the smaller 45’s…so that they could contain an extended dance mix of these songs…ready-made for the clubs. Good Times by Nile’s group Chic was the ultimate 12” record…the breakdown was epic…so much so, that it became a Hip-Hop culture anthem…hence the usage by the Sugarhill Gang on Rappers Delight…it was the hottest break to use at that time.
If you want to listen to some other 1970s Disco hits that weren't sung by the Bee Gees or Donna Summer, you can try Gloria Gaynor-I Will Survive, Alicia Bridges-I Love the Night Life, Amii Stewart-Knock on Wood, Dan Hartman-Instant Replay, Rose Royce-Car Wash, Village People-YMCA, Lipps Inc-Funky Town, Chic-Le Freak, Thelma Houston-Don't Leave Me This Way, Van McCoy-Do the Hustle, A Taste of Honey-Boogie Oogie Oogie, to name a few.
YES! SISTER SLEDGE! What a band. So many bangers. Would also heavily recommend "Lost in music" "We are family" "Thinking about you". Their music brings so much joy
This is basically the group Chic with vocals by Sister Sledge. Music and lyrics by Chic's Nile Rodgers and one of the greatest bassists ever Bernard Edwards
My favorite song by them is My Guy, which was their 3rd top 40 hit. It was originally a number one hit for Mary Wells in 1964. That one’s also worth reacting to.
"We Are Family" is suggested so much for good reason: it's the theme song for every close knit family & circle of friends with an infectious beat. You'll love it! 🙂
The entire Chic sound, backing vocals and instrumentation. Can't wait for you all to hear the post-disco R&B and synth keyboard era and more Philly sound. First Choice, D-Train, and more of the original songs sampled in Jay's fave rap tracks.
In NYC dance clubs in the 1970s, they would play extended versions of this great song that would last 15-20 minutes .. .it was like being in a trance, dancing out there, getting into it.
The backing music is basically the members of Chic, Bernard Edwards on bass, Nile Rodgers on guitar, and Tony Thompson on drums. My friend Jon Faddis played trumpet on this.

It was sampled by Queen Latifah in “It’s a Shame” before that.
@@jeffreygriffin7248Ditto. It’s a fun song from the era but the bass guitar is what I most loved about the song.
The whole album of Sisters Sledge’s We Are Family is just as great as their hit single “He’s the greatest dancer” !

If J loves the bass line in this, you’ve got to cover CHIC!! The great Bernard Edwards on bass and Nile Rodgers on guitar, the two founders of CHIC, are considered super producers. From Sister Sledge to Madonna to Diana Ross, the B-52s, Duran Duran and David Bowie. So many more! You’ve covered so many of the artists they’ve written and produced, but not CHIC! Got to check them out! CHIC is amazing!!
I second that suggestion. You should definitely check out "Funny Bone" and "My Forbidden Lover" the bass on these tracks is infectiously funky!
Great dance song, packed the dance floor every time!!! The musical interludes were to do your best moves!!!
Real music right here. No B-words, no N-words, no homophobia, no calling women out of their names. Happy good feelings only.
Produced by Nile Rogers of the group Chic, this sound is essentially Chic with different female vocalists.
Nile is the Architect of the best of the best!
This bassline was sampled by will Smith for "getting jiggy with it."
Oh yeh!
Man!
I was 16 when there album “We Are Family”. came out.
1979
I still know every word to this song.
Loooove it!!
Best rollerskating song! Especially ppl who know how to do tricks and routines etc.
Picturing Jay out on the dance floor in 1979.....disco ball reflecting, Jay sporting an afro, polyester bell bottoms, shirt unbuttoned to mid torso.
🤣🤣
@@shelley3442if only!
Btw that's the bass GOATs Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers with the instrumentals. Yall really need to give Chic more play.
Yeah Jay dissed Le Freak!?
These ladies were always dazzling, musically speaking.
This song was sampled by Will Smith " getting jiggy with it"
GETTIN JIGGIE WITH IT
Definitely disco era...great upbeat sound by great harmonizing group.
Fun fact: Luther Vandross is the male voice singing the background vocals.
This song makes you groove, reminds me of my block in Queens, NY 1978. Please react to "Pointer Sisters - Automatic", "Quincy Jones - Ai No Corrida", "Patrick Hernandez - Born to be Alive", "Andrea True Connection - More, More, More", "The Trammps - Disco Inferno"
If you haven’t seen it, you guys should watch Roll Bounce in your movie channel. You’ll love the soundtrack featuring songs like this one.
Gotta give a shout out to one of the greatest guitarists who ever played the instrument…Mr. Nile Rodgers. He was a member of Chic and loaned his immense talent to everyone from Diana Ross to David Bowie to Daft Punk. He’s the GOAT…for real! ❤
Disco music rules!!!
R.I.P to Joanie sledge
Sister Sledge was huge in the late seventies/early eighties! Will Smith sampled this song for his hit “Getting Jiggy Wit It”! Also, you can here that undeniable Nile Rogers (Chic) base riff, he produced this song! They had so many dance hits, the biggest was called “We Are Family”! That song was everywhere! ❤❤
This was a roller skate rink song . You should watch the movie Roll Bounce with Lil bow wow. It has a bunch of songs like this . Roll bounce is must watch movie .
Evelyn Champagne King - (( SHAME )) and (( LOVE COME DOWN )) two of her most Famous 70s and 80s songs get your Dancing shoes and down to the classic Disco the first song features some of the best Saxophone play ever along with lots of groovy fancy beats
Love the vocal! Love the bass line! I love the orchestral arrangement! Love it all! Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards wrote many of Sister Sledge's hits! Nile and Nard were one of the BEST writing duos in the 1970s and 80s. Bernard's "Chucking" bass playing style is unmatched! It's a slight that the band Chic still isn't in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! In fact, they've been nomiated 11 times! They officially became the most nominated act in the Hall's history to not earn induction! Great that they've gotten their due, named to the Songwriters Hall of Fame!
😊👏🏾♬🎤🎶🎸🥁🎷🎹
I will never apologize for loving disco! I miss those days when these ladies graced the billboards top 💯 and laid down some of the smoothest sounds and driving beats! I love all kinds of music but when I gotta move only disco will scratch that itch!
Bass player is Bernard Edwards R.I.P. bernard is a legend in on the bass wel! respected among bass players in music
Two things about this record…first…that signature Nile Rodgers rhythm guitar…he actually has two different riffs on this…and the breakdown….this was the era of the Disco 12” singles…single songs that were pressed on album sized vinyl instead of the smaller 45’s…so that they could contain an extended dance mix of these songs…ready-made for the clubs. Good Times by Nile’s group Chic was the ultimate 12” record…the breakdown was epic…so much so, that it became a Hip-Hop culture anthem…hence the usage by the Sugarhill Gang on Rappers Delight…it was the hottest break to use at that time.
Another great sister group from the 70's are the Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited, He's So Shy, Jump for You Love and Fire - to name a few.
If you want to listen to some other 1970s Disco hits that weren't sung by the Bee Gees or Donna Summer, you can try Gloria Gaynor-I Will Survive, Alicia Bridges-I Love the Night Life, Amii Stewart-Knock on Wood, Dan Hartman-Instant Replay, Rose Royce-Car Wash, Village People-YMCA, Lipps Inc-Funky Town, Chic-Le Freak, Thelma Houston-Don't Leave Me This Way, Van McCoy-Do the Hustle, A Taste of Honey-Boogie Oogie Oogie, to name a few.
Will Smith sampled the beginning part for one of his songs
Back when music meant something.
This marked the legendary embedding of 'Saturday Night Fever' (1977) and disco's rise to eternal greatness in 70s.
YES! SISTER SLEDGE! What a band. So many bangers. Would also heavily recommend "Lost in music" "We are family" "Thinking about you". Their music brings so much joy
This is basically the group Chic with vocals by Sister Sledge. Music and lyrics by Chic's Nile Rodgers and one of the greatest bassists ever Bernard Edwards
My favorite song by them is My Guy, which was their 3rd top 40 hit. It was originally a number one hit for Mary Wells in 1964. That one’s also worth reacting to.
I bought this record as a kid, This song is in my Amazon playlist for real !!! Because Disco Is My Life Forever !!!!
"We Are Family" is suggested so much for good reason: it's the theme song for every close knit family & circle of friends with an infectious beat. You'll love it! 🙂
The entire Chic sound, backing vocals and instrumentation. Can't wait for you all to hear the post-disco R&B and synth keyboard era and more Philly sound. First Choice, D-Train, and more of the original songs sampled in Jay's fave rap tracks.
Disco music has the greatest bass lines, strings & vocals just makes you want to dance.
In NYC dance clubs in the 1970s, they would play extended versions of this great song that would last 15-20 minutes .. .it was like being in a trance, dancing out there, getting into it.
I loved their first album. I knew every word to every song backwards and forward.
One of my favorite groups from the disco era.
The backing music is basically the members of Chic, Bernard Edwards on bass, Nile Rodgers on guitar, and Tony Thompson on drums. My friend Jon Faddis played trumpet on this.
