Most recognized for: As part of the all-sibling disco group Sister Sledge, she unleashed the “We Are Family” scourge upon countless innocent wedding partygoers. If a DJ showed up at a reception hall in the 1980s without Sister Sledge or Kool & the Gang, they placed themselves at grave personal risk.
