It's a Shame (My Sister)

"It's a Shame (My Sister)" is a song recorded by British rapper Monie Love, featuring True Image. It was the second single from her 1990 debut album, Down to Earth, and was released in late 1990 in Germany and the UK and in early 1991 in other European countries by Cooltempo and Warner Bros. The song samples the Spinners' 1970 single "It's a Shame", written for the band by Stevie Wonder. The "Cool as..." remix of the track samples the guitar riff from the Sister Sledge hit "He's the Greatest Dancer". The song had some success, particularly in Switzerland, where it peaked at number six and charted for 21 weeks. In the United States, it was Monie Love's sole hit single, reaching number 26. "It's a Shame (My Sister)" also peaked at number two on the American dance chart.
