Yes - she's the one! If you haven't seen them recently, she's cut her hair short (think "Liza Minnelli" or "Lena Horne"-like). She and sister Anita (as well as some-time members, Ruth's grand-daughter Sudoku and daughter Issa, are on tour now. They were recent panel judges on "Rupaul's Drag Race") and the sibling group once backed Grace Slick, Sylvester, Boz Scaggs, and made stops at "Sesame Street." (Do you remember the Pinball Number Count?)

Here is a link to their current, revamped website:
