    Kathy uses the name Sister Sledge now too , but she has to put Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge , ,, Everybody loves and respect Kathy. Joni was my 2nd fav , Kim then Debbie.... now its just Kathy and Kim.,,, i still love the old Sister Sledge and thats my favorite group to this day still.

      I agree with everything you've stated. I met Kathy in the mid 90s at a previous job and I told her that I still have the We Are Family 8 track tape that still works. Kathy said "What????" I said yeah I still have it. A day or 2 later I brought the 8 track tape to work and put it in my desk drawer in case I see her again. Sure enough I saw her about a month later and I told her I have the 8 track tape and can you autograph it. She said yes I'll do it and she did. She was so nice and I told her a story about her and her sisters back in the early 80s and was cracking up laughing. Love me some Kathy, late great Joni, Debbie, Kim and Carol. 🙏💙

    Debbie out there trippin! Kicked Kim out! 😮 so Debbie is Sister Sledge now? It’s sad really. I see Debbie performing in front of crowds of thousands of fans, but I I’m quite sure there are other groups there. “REAL” fans know who Sister Sledge was. And is! Although Kathy was the “Voice” of the group I really wish the other sisters would have had big hits they sang lead on back in the day. Do we blame the big wigs? I still listen to Dream On with Debbie singing lead. That’s my jam! I just wish things had turned out better for them.

      Yeah. I know at one point Kim was gravely sick and I thought that’s why she left. I didn’t know she was kicked out. Because I would always see Debbie, Camille (Debbie’s daughter), and Tanya Tiet (Joni and Kim’s replacement) touring as “Sister Sledge”.

    I used to confuse Sister Sledge with The Pointer Sisters.
    Same way I used to confuse The Dazz Band with Midnight Star
    but always never confused them with Atlantic Starr.

    Debbie Has Always Had The Reputation Of Being The Mean Selfish Sister From The Day They First Became Popular/Famous.
    She Used To Be MIA A Lot During Performances, If Memory Serves Me Correctly. It Was Said In The Industry That She Was Having Babies During That Time. I Don't Know What's True But She Does Have A Rep For Being The Controlling Sister. In Other Words She Ran The Group. Wit Her Sho Is Beautiful Self..... They're All 4 Beautiful, But That Debbie WOW, Still Is. Blessings To All 3 Of Them. To Joni, RIP Sister 🙏

      Debbie is the mother of 6 children mostly stair-step. From their albums from 1979-1985 Debbie had a baby each album and bounced back into the group.

    I think Kathy threw away what could’ve been an amazing solo career. It’s unfortunate that she and her sisters have been beefing for decades but she has one of the greatest voices of our generation. I see Debbie’s version of Sister Sledge consists of Debbie with her daughter and son, Joni’s son and a young lady Tanya. They call themselves Sister Sledge featuring Sledgendary but they can really sing and have very energetic shows in stadiums overseas.
    Now I see Kathy’s version of “Sister Sledge” featuring Kathy Sledge. There are these very young girls who are not Sledges and her. It seems that she’s presenting the same thing that she’s complaining about what Debbie’s doing. It feels like she’s doing it out of spite though she has every right to use the name but Kathy it’s been three decades since you’ve released a solo album.
