Sister Sledge

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BDiscoHouse

Sister Sledge is a Contemporary R&B and Disco act. Their catalogue also touches House and Rhythm and blues. Their sound grew out of Nile Rodgers, Linda Clifford, Kayak, Gwen Guthrie and Norma Jean Wright. Those roots explain a lot about how Sister Sledge arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Kool & The Gang, A Taste of Honey, Rose Royce, Change and Patrice Rushen, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lisa Shaw, Dua Lipa, Linda Clifford, Chic and Jade, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 43 connections around Sister Sledge, reaching back through Nile Rodgers and forward to Lisa Shaw.
