He's the Greatest Dancer

Recorded at the Power Station in New York City for the We Are Family sessions, with Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers driving the track and Chic regulars including Tony Thompson, Raymond Jones, Andrew Barrett, and Gene Orloff’s string arrangement on the record. Released as the lead single from We Are Family, the song broke from club play into pop and R&B radio and became a transatlantic hit, reaching No. 9 in the United States and No. 6 in the United Kingdom. It established Sister Sledge as a major disco act at the height of the genre’s mainstream peak. The track remained one of Sister Sledge’s signature recordings and continued to circulate through later cover versions, including Dannii Minogue’s 2006 version. Its Chic-produced groove kept it present in disco and dance collections long after its original run.
