"It's a Shame (My Sister)" is a 1990 hip-hop song recorded by British rapper Monie Love, featuring True Image. It was the second single from her debut album Down to Earth, and was released in late-1990 in Germany and UK and in early-1991 in the other European countries. The song sampled The Spinners' 1970 single "It's a Shame" written for the band by Stevie Wonder, and "It's a Shame (My Sister)" (Cool as... mix) sampled 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 #6 and charted for 21 weeks. In the United States, the song was Monie Love's sole hit single, reaching #26. "It's a Shame (My Sister)" also peaked at #2 on the American dance chart.^[1]
