Love Somebody Today is the fourth album by the American vocal group Sister Sledge. It was released on March 16, 1980, by Cotillion Records.
The album saw the return of Chic musicians Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers, who produced several disco, R&B and soul songs. Love Somebody Today also featured several different vocal arrangements. Kathy Sledge sings lead on half of the album, while the remaining songs are led by other sisters.
Love Somebody Today was promoted in mid-1980 by television performances and concert tours, such as Sister Sledge's headlining European tour. The album received moderately positive reviews by music critics. It was their second album to peak within the Top 10 on the US Top Soul LP's chart. The album spawned four singles–"Got to Love Somebody", "Reach Your Peak", "Let's Go on Vacation", and "Easy Street". Love Somebody Today was the group's final album to feature disco music, as the genre began to decline in popularity.
