''We Are Family'' is a 1979 album by Sister Sledge. The album was written and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of the band Chic, and includes four hit singles: the anthemic title track, "He's the Greatest Dancer", "Lost in Music", and "Thinking of You", all four of which have been sampled, remixed, and reissued through the '80s, '90s and 2000s. Chic worked with Sister Sledge, who had signed to Atlantic in 1973, at the inspiration of Atlantic president Jerry Greenberg. Nile Rodgers remembered later; " That's why we came up with ''We Are Family''. () Everything he said about them gave us a picture of them. You've got to remember, we never even met them. () All of the content on that record came from that one day with the president () I was fascinated and enthralled by the concept of people who loved music who could be 'nice girls' in the midst of the whole disco era."〔 Turn The Beat Around, Peter Shapiro, p.163〕 ''We Are Family'' is one of two albums produced by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers in 1979, the other being Chic's third album ''Risqué'' including hit singles "Good Times" and "My Forbidden Lover". Nile Rodgers has written that of the various albums produced by The Chic Organization for themselves and others, "pound for pound, I think ''We Are Family'' is our best album hands down." The lead vocals to ''We Are Family'' were recorded in a single take by the then 18-year-old Kathy Sledge.〔 Turn The Beat Around, Peter Shapiro, p.165〕 "He's the Greatest Dancer" was the first single from the album and became the group's first major hit, reaching the pop top ten and number one on the R&B chart. ''We Are Family'' was digitally remastered and reissued on CD by Rhino Records in 1995. ==Track listing== All songs written and composed by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「We Are Family (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
