Synopsis

When three singing sisters from Harlem hit the big time, they end up losing one another in this musical melodrama set in the 1950s. While the oldest sister (Lonette McKee) falls victim to drugs and a gangster lover, the youngest (Irene Cara) becomes a superstar -- though not before overcoming all sorts of obstacles. Curtis Mayfield provides a great set of songs, and McKee sings them with style and power in this Supremes-inspired story.
