Which girl group recorded the 1979 disco hit “He’s the Greatest Dancer”?

Sister Sledge recorded the 1979 disco hit “He’s the Greatest Dancer.”

The song was written and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, the creative team behind Chic. It appeared on Sister Sledge’s album We Are Family, which became one of the most celebrated disco albums of the period. The lyrics playfully describe a stylish and charismatic dancer.

“He’s the Greatest Dancer” became a major international hit and reached the top five on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its polished bass line, orchestration, and dance-floor rhythm reflect the distinctive Chic production style, while the vocals came from the Philadelphia-born Sister Sledge sisters.

The track is sometimes mistaken for a Chic recording because Rodgers and Edwards wrote and produced it. Chic, however, was the production group, not the performing act on this single. Sister Sledge are also strongly associated with “We Are Family,” another Rodgers-and-Edwards production from the same album.
