Background

Like their highly successful We Are Family released the previous year, this album was both written and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of the band Chic. There were three singles released from this album. The first was "Got to Love Somebody" released in December 1979, which peaked at number sixty-four on the US Pop charts and number six on the R&B/Soul charts. In March 1980, the second single "Reach Your Peak" was released; peaking at #101 on the US Pop charts and #21 on the R&B/Soul charts. "Let's Go on Vacation", the last single released from this album failed to reach the US Pop chart but reached number sixty-three on the R&B/Soul chart. The latter was to be included on the Chic-produced soundtrack album Soup for One in 1982. Love Somebody Today was one of four albums to be written and produced by Edwards and Rodgers in 1980, the other three being Sheila and B. Devotion's King of the World including its hit single "Spacer", Chic's fourth studio album Real People and Diana Ross' multi-platinum selling diana which includes "Upside Down", "I'm Coming Out" and "My Old Piano". Love Somebody Today, along with six other Sister Sledge albums, was digitally remastered and reissued on CD in 2007 by Warner Bros. Records.

The album reached #31 in the US Billboard Hot 100 Album chart.

Love Somebody Today es el cuarto álbum de Sister Sledge publicado en 1980. Este disco que al igual que su álbum anterior We Are Family lanzado en 1979 y fue un gran éxito, fue también producido y escrito por Nile Rodgers y Bernard Edwards integrantes de la banda Chic e incluye tres éxitos debido al rechazo del disco que habían decidido sacar a la venta, en gran parte ignorando algunos sencillos como; "Got To Love Somebody" (US Pop # 64, R&B # 6, diciembre de 1979), "Reach Your Peak" (Pop # 101, R&B # 21, marzo de 1980) y "Let's Go On Vacation" (Pop-, R&B # 63). Este último pudo ser incluido en el álbum de soundtrack producido por Chic Soup For One en 1982.
