We Are Family is the third studio album by the American R&B vocal group Sister Sledge, released on January 22, 1979 in the United States and on April 30, 1979 in the United Kingdom by Cotillion Records. The album was written and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of the band Chic, and includes four hit singles: the title track, "He's the Greatest Dancer", "Lost in Music", and "Thinking of You", all of which have been sampled, remixed, and reissued in the decades after the album's release.

Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic produced this masterpiece for Sister Sledge. Easily the groups best release and not a weak track on the album. Unforgettable ballads and the uptempo tracks speak for themselves! Collectors item! We Are Family is still kind of a guilty pleasure of ours, and that nice Nile Rogers guitar keeps on ripping along in a way that never gets old! This is a @320 vinyl rip of my original Cotillion Record with covers

Sister Sledge's We Are Family came at the summit of an amazing non-stop burst of creativity from Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, aka The Chic Organization Ltd, in 1978. Recorded simultaneously with Chic's own C'est Chic album, We Are Family was written and produced by Rodgers and Edwards, who had recently scored big with Everybody Dance and Dance, Dance, Dance. They were offered the cream of Atlantic’s roster to work with. Icons such as The Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin were rejected in favour of Philadelphia quartet Sister Sledge. It was especially taken to heart in the UK, and awarded Sister Sledge the disco diva status that they so rightly deserved. It remains the album on which their reputation rests.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Sister Sledge Format: Vinyl. If you are a fan of the super disco group CHIC, then you must be aware of SISTER SLEDGE, because the songs of both groups are produced by the same folks, BERNARD EDWARDS and NILE RODGERS. This album cannot age, an immortal of sorts. Highly recommended to all who is into timeless disco, it will secure it's place in your private stock and in your heart.

Sister Sledge’s 1979 album We Are Family. We’d had a couple of hits in 1974, 1975, we’d been to Germany and made an album with the disco act Silver Convention, but by the time we met Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic, the four of us had been in the music business for eight years and we were frustrated. We were saying: Well, maybe we should go to college and just become lawyers or something other than music, because it really is tough. My sister Kim actually started law school.
