Yeah, that's right, I'm layin' down the lowdown on a track called "Behind the Groove"! This one is a scorcher! Didn't quite hit number one here in the states, but climbed all the way up to number 21 on the R&B charts! That's some serious soul power! And overseas? In the U.K., they were goin' bananas for it! It hit number 6 on their singles chart! Number 6! That's rockin'! And what's this tune all about, you ask? Well, it's all about findin' that *thing* inside you! That spark! That hidden talent! It's about realizin' that you got it in you to make things happen! The lyrics are screamin' it at ya! "{Behind the groove} There's another side inside of you! {Behind the groove} You can make your wildest dreams come true!" Man, that's some heavy stuff right there! It's tellin' you to ditch the squares, embrace the vibe, and let your inner light shine! And the beat? Oh, the beat is pure dynamite! It's shoutin' out! "{Behind the groove} Get on up and shake your body! {Get behind the groove} Open up and take the music in! {Get behind the groove} You better get on up! {Behind the groove} Come to the party! {Get behind the groove} Life is waitin' for you to begin!" Yeah, Life IS waitin'! Tell your folks you're steppin' out, and find that groove inside ya! This song's a reminder that you gotta grab life by the horns and dance your way to the top! It’s gettin' behind that groove, man! Behind that rhythm! Behind that… well, you dig what I'm sayin'! So let's get this party started! "Behind the Groove" is a stone groove, and that’s the  truth! Now go out there and be groovy! I'm Gail Nobles! Thank you for listening to Hitmakers Music!

A third single, "Lost in Music", reached the US top 40. "We Are Family" earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. So what is Sister Sledge doing today? Well, one of the members of the group which is Joni passed away. But Debbie and Kim Announced that they will contó perform as Sister Sledge.
