"We Are Family" is a song recorded by American vocal group Sister Sledge. Composed by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers, they both offered the song to Atlantic Records; although the record label initially declined, the track was released in April 1979 as a single from the album of the same name (1979) [1] and began to gain club and radio play, eventually becoming the group's signature song.
The song was released as the lead single from the album at the beginning of 1979, crossing over from the clubs – its 12″ version was shared by the "We Are Family" and "Lost in Music" tracks [citation needed] – to R&B radio, giving Sister Sledge a number one hit on both Billboard's Dance and R&B charts in March 1979.
It was originally recorded for their third album, We Are Family (1979), and was included as the B-side to their UK top 20 single "Lost in Music". "Thinking of You" was written and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, and, like many Sister Sledge hits, was built on the rhythmic foundations of their famous guitar and bass line arrangements.
