- TRUE HOUSE STORIES® W/ KATHY SLEDGE / LEGENDARY LEAD VOICE OF SISTER SLEDGE # 100 INTERVIEWED BY LENNY FONTANA
Kathy Sledge joins Lenny Fontana on our Special 100th Episode (The legendary lead vocalist of Sister Sledge), which is a triumphant celebration. Watch and listen how she shares what her work life was like in the beginning of her career and the balance of family life in "The First Female Band" to ever do it, and they became a huge success.
You will even hear how Kathy talks about the particulars going on in her family, with the control over the usage of the name Sister Sledge and how she was forced to stop singing the iconic songs for over 20 years. You all will know her as the lead singer of those familiar tunes such as “We Are Family”, “Thinking Of You”, “Frankie” and “Lost In Music” Now you can listen to her share her story starting from a young child to today. When Kathy hears the word “No” she thinks of what’s next and repositions herself to succeed no matter what.
Kathy Sledge is the youngest and a founding member of Sister Sledge, an American vocal group which is made up of her sisters that was formed in 1971. After achieving success beginning in the late-1970s thru the mid-1980s with Sister Sledge, Kathy embarked on her solo career in 1989. Kathy Sledge has had several hits on the International Pop and Hot Dance Music Club Play Chart, including “Take Me Back To Love Again", which hit #1 in 1992.
Now get a history lesson on how "We Are Family" does not apply to family harmony.

Kathy IS still THE VOICE of Sister Sledge.
we LOVED you as the LEAD SINGER of
Sister Sledge. Nobody can replace your vocals. Kathy is BEAUTIFUL with the GREATEST voice. Debbie vocals cannot compare to Kathy's effortless vocals. Kathy vocals are like Dianna's vocals to the Supremes, like Michael's vocal's to the Jackson5. Bernard and Nile had a good ear for who should be the best lead singer
for a song. KATHY's VOICE is like a rare TANZINITE diamond
We cherish Kathy forevermore.
Thanks for sharing!❤
100 percent agree
I am glad to see her giving more background on her side of things. Good for her.
OMG... so glad to see the amazing Kathy on the show... BRILLIANT !
Kathy,
You are the Light of Sister Sledge❣️You always have been and always will be the light of Sister Sledge❣️That’s something, they can never take away from you❣️Kathy you have a God given gift above and beyond your beautiful voice and that is your beautiful heart, that makes everyone you meet feel special, like family❣️
God Bless you and all of your family❣️
Kathy, thank you so much for your sharing your SPECIAL gift with the world...FIERCE, DOGGED DETERMINATION!
You only blessed Kathy. Why not bless all the sisters? I would love to see them back together again. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love Sister Sledge, Kathy was my favorite, always loved her voice and I was young like her. The other sisters was older, but they was great!!
Thank you Kathy for sharing. I’m so surprised and I’m sad for what you went thru. I’m also glad it is turning around
Well that was courageous! Bravo Kathy. Family will always survive, focus on your music and creating beautiful vibes for all of us here in the real world. 🎉🎉❤❤
You deserve 100x more subs.
Kathy Sledge Lightfoot you are the best at what you do people always try and make things go wrong it's sad that a family will be against one another but in life that is the way it works I know because I have a big family they have did me the same way God has everything in control you are a wonderful person
Love To Love You, Baby !!!!
So sad to hear about the sisters beef. Hope they can fix it. Reminds me of when Jody Watley opened up about her treatment whilst she was in Shalamar, particularly by James Hewett. Always sad yet insightful to hear about group dynamics when the groups represent fun & positivity in their image & music.
There’s no beef among the sisters. If you notice it’s only Kathy in the media talking about her sisters. It’s SAD that she has so much hatred towards her sisters 😢
The We Are Family LP is in my top 10 albums of the 1970's. And of course Kathy, being the lead singer, was a big part of that. Along with the genius of Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of course. Kathy looks great here btw.
That jacket though! Channeling your inner 'Off the Wall' era MJ. 😂
I acknowledge there are is usually 2 sides to a story but if this is the truth what a depressing family dynamic. We are not family apparently. Take me back to love mixes and I go way back . Gem in my collection. Thinking of you a feel good nostalgic gem
Lenny, You Should Interview Tom Moulton, Tony Humphries, Merlin Bobb, Timmy Regisford, Members Of Change, Farley Jackmaster Funk, And Earl Young.
Yeah, Carol the 5th sister... I think I saw her in a clip from the Dutch TopPop series in which she participated in the song We Are Family...
I followed Sister Sledge from the early days of Mama Never Told Me, and I never imagined their relationship would deteriorate so badly. I always thought Kathy and Joni were closest 'cause they always seemed to gravitate towards each other on stage; and Kathy and Debbie the least. I heard SS without Kathy, and I am stunned they still have a following...they just aren't that good to me. Oh well, happy to hear Kim and Kathy have reconciled.
I didn't realize that your sister Carol filled in and sung too. Why can't the 3 sisters do shows together. I'm in the record business I produce a lot of gold and Platinum records over the years. If one sister write a book another do a solo project,tv or Broadway. It should all be love.
“Lightfootin’! Don’t stop ‘til you feel the groove. C’mon, let your body move!”🎶Diehard fans *know* who Kathy’s husband is. 😄
Why can't you and Kim + a daughter, cousin still perform as Sister Sledge. Even when you do your solo stuff still sing your hits. Smokey still sung his group songs even when he went solo. Debbie shouldn't stop you n Kim from performing. It's not fair to us fans.
First Here?!?
I just came across this interview…wow…first off…I’m glad to hear Kathy tell the unwashed story about Sister Sledge…I’m sad and angry at the same time. WOW how petty these sisters are/were …Kathy IS the lead singer and will always be the only lead singer. While all of the sisters sing well…Kathy is a unique voice and to ask her to stand back because of fragile egos is ridiculous. Debbie has an excellent voice but it’s not a pop vocal. I’ve heard her sing jazz and she was amazing. If you want to hear an excellent performance by Debbie…listen to The Weatherman a very soulful performance…outside of that performance…all of her and her sisters lead vocals were good…not earthshaking.
“Love Don’t Go Through No Changes on Me” a very underrated song. That song should have topped the charts in the US.
I’ve tired to listen to Sledgendary …they have nice outfits…they’re not even in the same stratosphere as the original sisters.
I really wished Kathy’s solo career had taken off…when I hear certain songs today, I imagine Kathy singing it …most recently “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus …
I can’t believe her sisters would want to put Kathy in the back especially on “We Are Family”
Listen to the 8 min version of “We Are Family” and listen to that ad libbing …from what I understand …she sang that in one take…
It sounds like Debbie and the rest of them thought they were the Pointer Sisters…those three sister all had strong vocals …that’s not the case with Sister Sledge…it’s Kathy and her sisters…
Debbie needs to get up off it so sad! I remember seeing Kathy buying shoes in Strawbridges on Market St 😂
Get Kim Sledge on the show!
I hope this has gotten resolved…Kathy is THE voice of sister sledge not Debbie. How would Debbie feel if the shoe was on the other foot? She needs to clench her butt cheeks and cut the sh!t! These interviews are amazing…thank you Lenny. ❤
This is insane if its true
This woman isn’t nothing like her sisters. I knew and know the sisters, and Kathy is the only one who was born to lie. It sad to see how she has bad mouth her sisters and trying to take away the groups name just to further her career just for herself when 3 are still alive God is good and he will always give the victory to the worthy one not the evil one. I’m praying for her soul because it’s lost. 😢
What are you saying right now
😂
They’re all full of it !
@@dfreeman120 right.
Phylliss molens just because you feel like you know someone does NOT mean you know their experiences. Regardless of how YOU feel, Kathy Sledge has the right to speak on HER experiences from HER perspective. Blessings to Kathy and her family as they move through whatever differences they are having that keep the family divided.❤
