Biography

Sister Sledge is an American musical group formed in 1971, and originally consisted of sisters [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/751549-Debbie-Sledge]Debbie[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/690440-Joni-Sledge]Joni[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/4683-Kathy-Sledge]Kathy[/url], and [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/751550-Kim-Sledge]Kim[/url]. Known for their work with [a9081] in the late-1970s, Sister Sledge reached the height of their popularity during the disco era. The group was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1971, when their ages ranged from 12 to 16. They recorded their first single, "Time Will Tell," for the Philly-based '[l419903]' label. For the first few years, the group called itself Sisters Sledge. In 1972, Sister Sledge signed with [l3820] and recorded its second single, "Weatherman," which was followed by [a41157]-like "Mama Never Told Me" in 1973. It wasn't until 1979, when Chic leaders [a49758] and [a51071] produced "We Are Family", that Sister Sledge really exploded commercially. "He's the Greatest Dancer" and the album's eponymous single both reached number one on the R&B charts, in the US. In 1989, Kathy left the group to pursue a solo career. Joni passed away on 10th March 2017. In 2020, Kim left the group. As of 2025, Debbie performs as part of group "Sister Sledge featuring Sledgendary", with daughter [a=Camille Sledge], son David Sledge, nephew Thaddeus Sledge, and vocalist [a=Tanya Tiet]. Meanwhile, Kathy performs as part of the group "Sister Sledge Live feat. Kathy Sledge" with guest vocalists and dancers.

LYRICS

I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody soon
Tired of movies all by myself
I'm sure, you folks know what I mean
My time has come and I need someone
To share my popcorn and jellybeans

Looked in the mirror, it all got clearer
I won't let my life pass me by
Stop feelin' sorry for myself
Fish are biting, I'll throw out my line

I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody soon

Must be careful and watch my step
I hope the shock is very mild
I'll change my hair and change my style
Watch out, I might just go wild

I got to get out and live
And show the world how much I can give
I'm gonna do it all by myself
I'll make a love you can't put on a shelf

I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody soon

I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody soon

I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody soon

I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody soon
