    I am from Pittsburgh. In 1979 the Pirates won the World Series and this was the teams rallying song.
    Great memories.

    Dit is een mooie clip .... evenzo hoop ik dat alle mensen in staat zijn een familie van goede loyale vrienden te vinden.
    Ik kom zelf uit de VS, maar ik weet dat de mensen in Nederland wereldwijd beroemd zijn ... omdat ze goede loyale buren zijn ... precies zoals dat.

    @thelolguy007 Před rokem +1

    I love this channel. But the title is ‘The Story Of The Song’ and it doesn’t really talk about the song, how it came about, who wrote it, the recording process etc. This is the poorest video I’ve seen on this channel yet. Guess you can’t always get it right 🤷‍♂️

  • @I-AM-BELIEVER
    @I-AM-BELIEVER Před rokem +2

    You can see and tell they didn't care for Kathy. So sad

  • @Enikki
    @Enikki Před 7 měsíci

    So did anyone notice the little side sarcasm (3:45 -3:46) comment from Joni after Kathy talked about everyone in the crowd recognizing them? .....😂 " Like were sisters or something"...smh as if the crowd didn't recognize ALL the sisters. Poor Kathy😅

    That's nice, but it doesn't tell us the story behind the song itself.

    They "forgot" to mention that this song has also become a LBGT anthem. But it is well known, how conservative and religious these sisters have always been, so no wonder

    • @RareMusicalGems
      @RareMusicalGems Před 3 lety +4

      Joni had some very nice things to say about how the LGBT community has embraced this song in interviews conducted shortly before she passed away. Sister Sledge has also headlined Atlanta Pride. Whatever their personal beliefs may be, they have shown love towards a community that loves them. That's what matters. It's not really about what you believe, it's about how you treat those who believe differently than you do. As for "forgetting" to mention it in this video, the sisters didn't edit the piece, they just appeared in it. We don't know the full scope of what they talked about.

    • @glencro
      @glencro Před rokem

      They’ve performed at several Pride events over the years and have often acknowledged the song being an anthem in the lgbtqia community
