Joni Sledge, one of the founding members of the legendary 1970s singing group Sister Sledge was found dead in her home in Phoenix Arizona yesterday. she was just 60 yrs old. The cause of death has not been determined yet. Joni and 4 of her sisters formed the singing group Sister Sledge way back in the 1970s but didn't find fame until after they met Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards from the singing group Chic. The duo wrote all of the songs for groups 1978 album "We Are Family". The first track off the album went top10, it was called "The Greatest Dancer", but the song that had everyone on the floor dancing to was the anthem "We Are Family". Too bad that would be there only #1 hit song. Joni is survived by her grown son her sisters and other relatives. Rest in peace Joni.
