Info zu Bet Cha Say That To All The Girls

„With veteran jazzman-turned-funker George Duke at the production helm and a plethora of well-known musicians -- including Al Jarreau, Michael Sembello, and Jeffrey Osborne -- arrayed behind them, a late-in-the-day Sister Sledge released Bet Cha Say That to All the Girls to moderate success in 1983. While the band's blend of light urban dance was certainly urbane, the sisters were well past the days of the powerhouse R&B diva posturing that brought them to the top of the charts in the 1970s. Sister Sledge was instead bent on bright pop. Leading with the strong charting single "B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Baby)," the rest of Bet Cha Say That to All the Girls unreeled in much the same manner. The superb harmonies and lush strings and horns swing from smooth R&B to light funk and back to classic mainstream pop with ease, as the beautiful ballad "Once in Your Life" and the funky closer "Thank You for the Party," as well as the title track, emerge as the album's real highlights. With perhaps a little too much emphasis placed on a light, bright sound which ultimately sacrifices substance, it's no surprise that this set foundered. Too much sugar can spoil even the sweetest dessert.“ (Amy Hanson, AMG)

Sister Sledge
The talented Sledge sisters formed Sister Sledge in 1972, and by 1979, they would be recognized for some of the decade's most recognizable hits, including the long-lasting "We Are Family."

Their 1979 album, We Are Family, included not only the title track hit, but also "He's the Greatest Dancer." A year later, Sister Sledge released Love Somebody Today, and the singles "Pretty Baby" and "Got to Love Somebody" both found a home on the charts.

In 1981, Sister Sledge hired Narada Michael Walden as their producer and released All-American Girls. The title track and "Next Time You'll Know" were both hits, and Sister Sledge continued to perform throughout the 1980's and 1990's with new material and additional hits. In 1998, Sister Sledge released African Eyes.

"He's the Greatest Dancer" was brought into the new millennium thanks to a Dannii Minogue cover in 2007 and its sampled use as featured on Will Smith's "Getting' Jiggy Wit It." Other Sister Sledge songs have been remixed and re-released by other bands, both in the United States and in the UK.

Sister Sledge continues to perform regularly, and they were even reunited in 2011 on Oprah Winfrey, for her "Women Who Rock" episode. "We Are Family" was highlighted as one of the most requested songs of all time.
