Who`s your favorite?

Hmm, hard choice, but I think I'd have to go with the Pointer Sisters. They had a lot more hit songs out than Sister Sledge. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I only remember the song "We Are Family" as a Sister Sledge song, but there could have been more.

I guess that`s the only huge hit, but they released plenty of singles, all worth checking out... I prefer the Sledge sisters, because i love their sound, soulful disco

Easy choice...




...Much more style & depth.

Cool, yeah, I do need to check out Sister Sledge a little more, since that seems to be the only song by them that I remember (please don't kill me).

Hmmm....


As a collective, The Pointer Sisters....

but on the other hand, I really Really like Kathy Sledge's voice...



hmmmmm....


....I've decided not to choose

I also vote for The Pointer Sister because they can funk too. Plus their impact during the 80's were a little bigger than Sister Sledge.

I want a bunch of sisters to sing with.

"They get my vote too"! i grew into this album.. expectation were too high at the time i heard Yes We Can Can. Now i dig about 80 - 90 % of it. "River Boulevard" is a nice cut that i remember playing alot.

Even though I like Sister Sledge, I'd have to take The Pointer Sisters, Because they do a variety of music. Sister Sledge is best known as a disco group, But they are a little more easier on the eyes.

But...Systaar Sledge shure r'purdy ..

Sister Sledge is good and all but God Bless teh Pointer Sisters and the late Anita. Love them! So many great songs!

I thought it was June...

Pointers Sisters aaaaalllll the way.

Sister Sledge are cool and all, sure, but no competition here

I think The Pointer Sisters lacked something vocally, there`s just nothing exciting about their voices.

Also, Sister Sledge definitely had the looks....
especially Debbie Sledge

Anita??? June is the one that passed away.

I'd have to say the Pointer Sisters.They had more longevity and a more consistent career.From 1974 to 1986,they were a constant presence on the charts.

I love Sister Sledge,but mainly for the two Chic-produced albums that they released in 1979 ('We Are Family' and 'Love Somebody Today').Their career hit a rough patch in the 80s,mainly because of the disco backlash,which was so unfair.

You don't remember any of these by Sister Sledge ?

He's the greatest dancer
Thinking of you
Lost in music
Reach your peak

In the early 80s,Sister Sledge had a number of hits:

"Got To Love Somebody" (1980)
"All American Girls" (1981)
"He's Just A Runaway" (1981)
"My Guy" (1982)
"B.Y.O.B (Bring Your Own Baby)" (1983)
"Frankie" (1985)

surely you remember some of those songs?

Right. It was June.

I remember "He's the Greatest Dancer" but not the other 3.

funkpill said:

Thanks, funk.

Oooh, I'm diggin "Frankie", it's got kind of a 50's era feel to it.

Now I remember "All American Girls". Funny how you forget certain songs when you haven't heard them in so long.

For some reason, I like the Pointer Sisters better, but Sister Sledge had a better sound and was more urban. The Pointers were more pop...especially after 1979 or 80. Before then, they were some soulful-hard-hitting sisters (remember Car Wash). Besides, the Pointer Sisters (including Bonnie) had a lot more longetivity than Sister Sledge.

Debbie was always the ugly duckling to me. I LOVED Kathy!
