Going from girl power to Pirate power, what all-female band's biggest hit became the rally song of the Pittsburgh Pirates as they came from behind to win the 1979 World Series?

Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" became the anthem for the historic 1979 Pirates team. As described in People Magazine: "It was 'Pop' Stargell, 38, who spotted 'We Are Family', the disco hit by Sister Sledge, and turned it into the galvanizing fight song of his fans and team. Family Fever swept the city. The phrase 'The Family' was stenciled on the dugout roof and on signs and T-shirts everywhere. The tune was played mercilessly over the stadium P.A. system."
