Sister Sledge (1977) Blockbuster Boy

Just before their huge late 70's disco success, this sensual dance group of sisters had bubbled in the lower reaches of R&B charts for a while with a few sweet soul hits that fared much better in the dance charts, though this tune would introduce their Nile Rodgers' styled sound with an out of this world Bernard Edwards bass track. In fact their sound was pretty much the Chic sound, the difference being the softer ballads (they did hail from Philly) and those glorious harmonies shimmering full of shiny, silky, sultry groovesssss. The sibilance of their name and their sound full of studio sheen, ok thats enough Ss for this post; but listen to the blockbuster chorus always about girlish topics but with a womanly conviction.
