Which 1979 Sister Sledge album was produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards?

The story behind the answer

The 1979 Sister Sledge album produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards is We Are Family.

Released by Cotillion Records on January 22, 1979, We Are Family was Sister Sledge’s third studio album and their breakthrough. Rodgers and Edwards, the creative leaders of Chic, produced and wrote the album, shifting the group from its earlier Philly soul direction toward a sleek blend of disco and R&B. The recording sessions took place at New York’s Power Station studio.

The album generated four major singles: “He’s the Greatest Dancer,” “We Are Family,” “Lost in Music” and “Thinking of You.” The title track became an enduring anthem, while “He’s the Greatest Dancer” also became a major chart success. We Are Family eventually reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum in the United States.

The alternatives are all Sister Sledge album titles, which makes the question a plausible trap. All American Girls followed in 1981, Circle of Love was released in 1980, and Love Somebody Today followed We Are Family in 1980. None was the 1979 Rodgers-and-Edwards production. The album’s connection to Chic is also why its sound is often described as Chic-like, even though Sister Sledge remained the featured act.
