Debbie Sledge, the singer and founding member of Sister Sledge, turns 72 on July 9. As one of the original voices behind the legendary family group, Sledge helped carry some of the most recognizable sounds of the disco era into pop culture history.
Their biggest breakthrough came with the 1979 album We Are Family, created with Chic members Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. The album produced several of the group's signature songs, including "He's the Greatest Dancer," "Lost in Music," "Thinking of You" and the title track that became not only one of their biggest hits, but one of the genre's most unforgettable.
Sledge later said the group survived its long climb because of the support around them and the faith she carried from childhood. "As a family we've been through an awful lot," she told Talented Ladies Club. She added that her faith gave her strength through the early years and everything that followed, saying, "I believe that there is nothing you can't accomplish as long as you choose love."
According to her official biography, Sledge remains active as a vocalist, recording artist, principal member and vocal director, continuing to bring the group's music to audiences decades after its original rise. In 2022, Sister Sledge featuring Sledgendary released "FREE," marking their first release as a collective in almost 20 years.
