The last post in my trilogy of Lost In Music comes the original Sister sledge Disco Classic, this is actually a later extended remix that was re-released in 1984, I think slightly edges it over the original 1979 We are Family album track. We Are Family is one of two albums produced by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers in 1979, the other being Chic's second album C'est Chic including hit singles Le Freak and I Want Your Love. True pioneers of the 70's disco sound Edwards and Rodgers' Chic are for me the ultimate disco band. Their track Good Times is one of the most influential songs of the era and formed the backbone of Grandmaster Flash's Adventures on the Wheels of Steel and The Sugarhill Gang's breakthrough hip-hop single, Rapper's Delight. The production skills of Rodgers and Edwards raised Sister Sledge into the mainstream with their We Are Family album, it has that unmistakable Chic production sound and includes disco anthems We Are Family and He's the Greatest Dancer. Classic. Nile Rodgers went on to produce classic album's Let's Dance by David Bowie (1983), Like a Virgin by Madonna (1984), Inside Story by Grace Jones (1986).
