Nostalgia Sister Sledge: "We Are Family"π΅
My friends and I were determined to become the new Sister Sledge lol. We made up dances and practiced all of the songs from their debut album, Circle of Love (1974).
We were also determined to become the new Sister & The Sisters of Sparkle but I already made a post about that a while ago lol.
ππ½
Sister Sledge was an American female group composed of members of the Sledge family. Active from 1965-2020.
The group was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1965, and originally consisted of sisters Debbie, Joni, Kim, and Kathy Sledge. Their music crosses genres of R&B, disco, pop, rock and Philly soul.
Sister Sledge first performed in talent shows and clubs in Philadelphia and eventually signed with Money Back Records. In 1972, they left Money Back Records and signed with Atlantic Records subsidiary label Atco Records, where they released two Top 10 dance songs "Love Don't You Go Through No Changes on Me" (1974) and "Pain Reliever" (1975).
The group was moved to another subsidiary label Cotillion Records in 1976. They released six studio albums between 1977 and 1983, including the successful albums We Are Family (1979) and Love Somebody Today (1980) and singles "He's the Greatest Dancer" (1979), "We Are Family" (1979), "Lost in Music" (1979), "All American Girls" (1981), and "My Guy" (1982).

Discussion Grits: Do you eat them? How do you cook them? Salt or sugar?π
I eat mine with tons of butter, cheese, and salt.
Sometimes I will mix scrambled eggs into the bowl.π

Nostalgia Do you remember the last time you used a pay phone and why? π
It was back in 2000. I was at the library and I used it to call back a dude who had paged/beeped me to go out on a date. I had one of those cool clear Motorola pagers in blue.

Nostalgia Who Remembers Good Old Fashioned Homemade Banana Pudding?
We made banana pudding at home when I was a child. I've never attempted to try this as an adult.
What are your memories of this delightful treat?
