Kathy Sledge to perform Chicago Pride Fest, Sunday, June 22

Formerly a member of the international musical group Sister Sledge, Kathy Sledge is one of five siblings to record the uplifting and highly successful song "We Are Family," among many other songs that warranted the group a Grammy nomination. Kathy Sledge, 55, departed from the group in 1989 to pursue a solo career, which led to a family feud. Her solo song, "Take Me Back To Love Again" reached No. 1 in 1992 on the Hot Dance Club Chart.

Chicago Pride Fest, which is organized by the Northalsted Business Alliance, runs June 21-22 on Halsted Street between Addison and Grace. A $10 donation is recommended.
