Sister (Lonette McKee) is the wounded heart and soul of Sparkle, a film built around the story of three African American sisters coming of age in the late '50s.

It's a lousy movie, the kind where camp does not manage to equal fun.

This is my all time favorite 70's flick. I saw it 1st when I was 7 years old and it stuck with me well into my adult hood. I love everything about this movie
