Their Beautiful Mom Is An R&B Legend Who Sadly Experienced A Heartbreaking Loss

Posted On : March 25, 2017

These three siblings are the children of a singer who is considered a legend in the music world. She comes from a very musical family and if you’re a fan of old school R&B, you definitely know who she is. Many of her fans probably never knew she had kids, because she’s mostly kept her personal life private, until recent years. Before we get into who their gorgeous Mom is though, let us tell you a lil’ bit about her kids, Chaz, Carl, and Camille.

Chaz

Chaz travels often with his Mother, who still does her thing on stage to this day. He’s chosen a different path in music from his mom, by working in the background in several capacities, including as a music producer for some of his mother’s projects.

Camille is a singer with a beautiful voice. She is an incredible performer as well and seems to be well versed in R&B, jazz, and hip hop. Based on the videos we’ve seen of her performances, she brings heat in all three of those areas both on stage and in the booth. Camille also performs with her Mother sometimes. Mommy-hood is Camille’s title these days as well…she’s raising her two toddlers- a son and a daughter.

Not too much is known about their brother, Carl, other than the fact that he- just like his siblings -is very close to his Mother and his fam.’

As most of us know, Debbie recently went through one of the most painful heartbreaks of her life, along with her Sister Sledge sisters, Kathy and Kim Sledge. Our continued condolences go out to the entire Sledge family after losing their loved one/Sister Sledge singer, Joni Sledge, who passed away suddenly at the age of 60 on March 10th, 2017.

Debbie and Kim Sledge, have continued to push through their pain and perform for their prescheduled dates that were booked prior to Joni’s passing. Although it’s tough, the sisters revealed that it’s somewhat therapeutic because it’s their way of honoring Joni, who performed with her sisters up until her passing.

And remember we mentioned that Camille sometimes performs with her mother, Debbie? Well Camille Sledge actually is one of the additional members of Sister Sledge. Although she has her own projects in the works, she sometimes performs with them when one of the others are not performing for a particular show date. Check out a pic of she and her cousin, Amber, after a performance with Joni Sledge…

Debbie’s son, Chaz, expressed his gratitude for being able to work with his mother as well. He posted the photo below documenting a day in the studio with her a while back…

About I Love Old School Music

We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
