Was floored hearing they spoke another language.. all these years, I never knew that. Joni was absolutely gorgeous and had such a beautiful speaking voice. Rest well doll.
Kathy Sledge's voice is the most mesmerizing and captivating of all the female singing voices I have ever heard. Kim Carnes' voice somewhat resembles Kthy's. The four Sledge sisters are beautiful, and they are the greatest thing that the world of music has produced ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I concur, just hearing her talk is a treat… i wish she could have been produced. By a jam and Lewis, Babyface, Quincy Jones or even a Timberland or Pharrell.
My goodness, the guy would be sued and out of the show in a second today for making those comments. I wonder whether we have gained more freedom or otherwise!
If just shows how out of touch people are today in this current world, millenials and all. Just totally insecure and overly sensitive to everything and everyone. I totally enjoyed the great Dick Clark's interview of these incredibly gorgeous women. How he joked and played around with them, but didn't go overboard with the play and banter was just classic Dick Clark. May he and Joni Sledge both R.I.P.!
All 4------------gorgeous, classy, sexy, proud & smart-------black women ! ------------RIP, to Joni. ------------Ahhh, take me back to the 70's & early 80's ! --------------LOVED THESE LADIES ! ----------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
I Will Always Love The Music of Sister Sledge, They are In An Episode of The Love Boat, I Love Joni and Debbie and I Especially Love Kathy, The Lead Singer
Different era back then. People were more friendly and mellow. Not so many attitudes that come from the "me first" generation. There ladies had class, brains, personality and talent. Now we have lady gaga....*sigh*
In like 20 30 years time when a lady gaga or olly murs and all the other crap song comes on is our reaction going to be "OMG WHAT CLASSIC THIS IS" :/ I don't fucking think so lol
I was working in a farm 1979 , New Jersey ,Brewster road when I first heard "We are family" Time passed by ,Those seasons have a feeling , After witnessing this years 2021, I had to turn to God to give me a better life, My youth was full of joy, I had good friends , we always had something to talk about, to laugh about , we went to other hoods to play baseball and basket ball, One time we ran after we won the game, the losers did not like it, so they started throwing rocks at us, But it was fun, We also lost a game because of my fault , I was severed punished by their comments , but It was fun, I had my excuses,🤕, God promised a world with no age, no disease ,and rejoicing forever, Im old but what God offers is too much to reject it , Thank you Jesus. See you guys on the other side.🌌
Bobby Smith of the Spinners was romantically involved with Joni he said this himself many years ago on the Steve Harvey morning radio show.Only a few people knew that they were dating because he was 20 years older than Joni and said they were dating for a while but he didn’t say how long she was only famous person he dated
Man I swear, if Kathy Sledge wasn't married, I would put a huge wedding ring on her finger, she is so beautiful. All of the sisters are pretty, the ones that are married there husbands are so lucky!
I mean ppl really don't have 50 leven chirren anymore 💀💀👶🏾👀👀👀 and the Jacksons really ain't carrying on the family legacy that much soo... 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ but there is Waynmor 🎤 #familyaffair #familygroups #bringitback #talentedfam #gifts #starsearch #siblings
Back in the day before Weaves, pieces & Wigs took over. So Happy that more artist/celebrities today are back to wearing their own hair out more often than Not.
You had to be polished and attractive to a certain level in The biz back in that day. Even while being hit on by the man that could make or break your record sales. I remember this like yesterday, American Bandstand came on first then SoulTrain. It was a big deal back in the day in an inexplicable way unlike stardom of today. No one was as smooth as Don Cornelius though, Dick Clark was always super positive and a big fan as well of all of his guests.
Dick is the right name for this arrogant host. He was so harsh to Kim rushing her to name the place the group were going to attend to. Snapping his fingers in Kim's face to remember ...that was degrading. However Sister Sledge is more than just a pretty face interested in speaking different languages. ..They really care for fans overseas. I love Sister Sledge. OXOXO
This arrogant host was not arrogant at all...he was Dick f---ing Clark....he made people by permitting them to grace his stage. Your interpretation is f---ed and entirely over the top. He loved S-S because he gave them 10 minutes of BS and banter when he could have given them a quick 30 second interview tease. Baby, you are sooooo wrong in your assessment. If you weren't there, don't pretend that you know shit about who was.
@@petewentz3528 Hi Pete, I have to say that having watched it I also ind Dick Clark cringeworthy on this clip - it doesn't matter that he was a powerful industry man. He didn't make people by "letting them grace his stage" - he would have an empty stage and no show at all without class acts like Sister Sledge. They made it on their own with sophisticated and polished talent and with very understated and likable personalities. It doesn't matter that Angel Face "wasn't there" - that would apply to most of the 89,000 people who have watched this. He bangs on about how "available" they may be, touches their skirts more than once and clamps a pervy hand on a shoulder and does rush them for answers! I am not a post "Me Too" revisionist, should anyone bring that up, either. This was obnoxious behaviour all those years ago too - except women were just expected to take it and be grateful for being on a TV show...
@@7554EdwardG I don't give a shit whether you call yourself Me Too or not. You refuse to accept history, cultural evolution, and social acceptable behavior, appropriate for the times. Clark was just doing his job...and help catapulting a minority act only otherwise seen on Soul Train into national prominence. He didn't feel them up under their skirt, he accentuated their sex appeal and choreography. All this inappropriate behavior was also going on and more on Black programs (including Soul Train) but you won't touch that either will you? Old Don had that long, 12 inch mic dangling all over the face and mouths of his female guests....not like we didn't know what that long, hard mic was symbolizing now, right? Baby, folks like you need their ever loving heads examined, and that mush and brain re-washed. You are so fucked up....it is pathetic. Live a little, baby, and get with the program.
I loved sister sledge i played all their songs and still do, i love the song lost in music and we are family, they all are great singers and very pretty, i miss those days music had meaning. feelings. love. she will be missed all time great group, we love you and will miss you rest in peace.
Beautiful sister group and sadly Joni has passed the one in blue. Loved your music then and still hear and love it now. This is music that never forgets.
Now let me go listen to some Sister Sledge.Narada Michael Walden was a great producer but when Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards did the music,it was on another level
I love this one, love the group, it's hard to pick a favorite, they're all my favorite, they're likable and so on, it's hard to not love them or like them. I so love them much. 😍
The name "Joni" is derivative of "Joan" , which is the feminine of "John"... and the name "John" in Spanish is "Juan", the feminine of which is "Juanita".
Joni was so beautiful here. May she rest in peace..
She was my special choice of the sister who id marry
Even at 60 years old, she was still pretty too. May her soul rest in peace🙏🏾
@@dailmcdavid5883 me too, ella era muy bonita and she dance better than other girls.
Gorgeous!
All the ladies were beautiful, but she was BEAUTIFUL.
Best looking girl group of all time.
I tried to come up with a better looking group. I couldn't. LOVE these women!
JudeanIsrealite Besides The Three Degrees.

Was floored hearing they spoke another language.. all these years, I never knew that. Joni was absolutely gorgeous and had such a beautiful speaking voice. Rest well doll.
Aren't they all so lovely, so sweet .
Love the dresses. The most endearing group of the 70s. They really had their act together in both show biz and life.
These ladies were so incredibly classy. One doesn't realize how much so until comparing to today.
Rap unbeatable fam
Yes, they didn't celebrate nor reward ignorance back in those days
Rest in peace Joni Sledge.

These talented ladies come off much more intelligent than Dick Clark does in this interview!

Que bien habla el castellano genial son
Dickey clark is getting a little touchy-feely!!
Man I swear, if Kathy Sledge wasn't married, I would put a huge wedding ring on her finger, she is so beautiful. All of the sisters are pretty, the ones that are married there husbands are so lucky!
je suis amoureux quand elle parle français
I'd fall in love in a split second if a girls talks to me the way they do
TELL JONI AND KIM THAT I AM AVAILABLE TOO!
He suis ton homme. Je t'aime ma angel.
media
Is it me or was Kim treated badly in this interview?
The two in the middle are hot.
Dick Clark is a cringingly awful interviewer.
Elle parle plutôt bien français
R.I.P Joni Sledge 😢🙏🏾 Your legacy with Sister Sledge lives on
the one in blue?
MRS. NEWLESS Yes.
how is it that ALL the sisters are gorgeous! So intelligent and beautiful...ugh!
Real talent! They broke the mold. Love them all.
Wow, so classy, intelligent, sexy without being trashy. No plastic surgery, natural beauty.
It's all over now. Those were great times and more honest times.
We need an Unsung in them.. Girl group was hot!!
So true.
Patrick James sadly we lost Joni but we need to get a petition together.
Patrick James I've said the exact same thing since season 1
YES!
Patrick James I thought the same thing when i found out our beautiful Joni passed away this month in March 2017,love and misss u Joni.
Joni Sledge was such a fox
We need more artist like sister sledge
I mean ppl really don't have 50 leven chirren anymore 💀💀👶🏾👀👀👀 and the Jacksons really ain't carrying on the family legacy that much soo... 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ but there is Waynmor 🎤 #familyaffair #familygroups #bringitback #talentedfam #gifts #starsearch #siblings
LOVE SISTER SLEDGE///BEAUTY, TALENT AND BRAINS....TOTAL PACKAGE
Very beautiful and talented women.
***** yes totally!
Debbie still makes my heart do flips.
Debbie was fine as wine so was Joni heck all of them.......
Debbie had the most unique classic look.
Back in the day before Weaves, pieces & Wigs took over. So Happy that more artist/celebrities today are back to wearing their own hair out more often than Not.
They wore wigs in 50s, 60s, 70s, and weaves in 90s. The one on the right has extensions-she bought that hair
TheBrownIsland AMEN BRAH

Intelligent women who know how to sing.
Rest in Peace, Brainy, Beautiful, Joyful Joni!
Sister Sledge was perfect!!! I miss them so much!! So classy and cute!!!
they are too cute i just can't lol..
Dick is the right name for this arrogant host. He was so harsh to Kim rushing her to name the place the group were going to attend to. Snapping his fingers in Kim's face to remember ...that was degrading. However Sister Sledge is more than just a pretty face interested in speaking different languages. ..They really care for fans overseas. I love Sister Sledge. OXOXO
You notice none of them had cellulite. It seems like back then cellulite didn’t seem to be very popular on younger women ...seriously.😊
This arrogant host was not arrogant at all...he was Dick f---ing Clark....he made people by permitting them to grace his stage. Your interpretation is f---ed and entirely over the top.

Bye bye Joni. Gorgeous and terrific. I'm lost in your music.
They are intelligent and classy! Speaking all of those languages! GO AHEAD NOW!!! YASSS
Wow, when they spoke those other languages so fluent, I was like yeah they were definitely were some amazing, talented women. So underrated.
All graduates of Temple University.
These talented,
classy and talented ladies handled themselves well considering how rude and unpleasant Dick Clark was interviewing them.
Amazing genes in the family. Full of life, beauty, good breeding and humility. The performers nowadays look like robots - fake and no character
I loved sister sledge i played all their songs and still do, i love the song lost in music and we are family, they all are great singers and very pretty, i miss those days music had meaning. feelings. love. she will be missed all time great group, we love you and will miss you rest in peace.
i like those outfits
SniffyPoo Me too!
blue girl is the cute
松川チョイナ she is my favorite
That French and Spanish took them from 10s to 20s
I never could decide between Kathy and Joni.
*As an adult I see how much of a creep Dick Clark was. I felt uneasy watching this interview as well as others*
Dick Clark was a really good interviewer, very different. The girls are so charming and bright as well.
Beautiful sister group and sadly Joni has passed the one in blue. Loved your music then and still hear and love it now. This is music that never forgets.
Joni was super gorgeous. RIP Joni. :-(
Beautiful sisters but Joni Sledge was just off the chart. I remember when Dob Cornelius was all over her on Soul Train.
lol!!
News 24h Dick and Don made Joni a flirting target
Now let me go listen to some Sister Sledge.Narada Michael Walden was a great producer but when Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards did the music,it was on another level
rip ''JUANITA''
I love this one, love the group, it's hard to pick a favorite, they're all my favorite, they're likable and so on, it's hard to not love them or like them. I so love them much. 😍
The name "Joni" is derivative of "Joan" , which is the feminine of "John"...
and the name "John" in Spanish is "Juan", the feminine of which is "Juanita".
Love those days of American Bandstand. Sister Sledge had us all spell bound with their looks and singing. RIP Joni.🙏 Miss those days.🎤🎼🎶🎵🎵🎶
I love hearing Joni speak French.
RIP Dick Clark.
Honestly, DC is a lousy interviewer.
God bless those beautiful women.
All the sisters are pretty! And R.I.P to Dick Clark!
Sister Sledge were some gorgeous sisters! Dick Clark up there flirting with them. R.I.P. Joni :-(
