Disco and Sister Sledge
Disco came about in the early 1970s. It brought a different sound compared to what listeners were usually used to. Sister Sledge created their group in 1971. They didn’t achieve fame and success until 1979. The group consisted of sisters, Debra Elaine Sledge, Joan Elise Sledge, Kim Sledge, and Kathy Sledge also know as Debbie, Joni, Kim, and Kathy. They started singing at a young age at their family church. All four sisters went to Temple University for their undergraduate studies. Disco had a very loud and overwhelming sound. Disco impacted societies through cultural diversity. It allowed freedom for gays, Hispanics, and African Americans. Any ethnicity could go to disco clubs and enjoy themselves.
