Lost In Music actually has Joni Sledge singing lead. The usual lead was youngest sister Kathy.
Ironically after Kathy left to go solo, the other sisters fell out with her, and have had little to do with her since... the sisters who together sang We Are Family

One of my favourites from back then..'Mama never told me' [Tom Moulton mix]

I used to love these girls in the big soul/disco era..just fab.
