Sister Christian

“Sister Christian” is Night Ranger’s biggest hit, topping the chart in Canada and reaching #5 in the US. It was also a minor hit in Germany. Drummer Kelly Keagy wrote it after visiting his family’s home and seeing how fast his younger sister Christy was growing up. Singer Jack Blades originally thought the lyric was “Sister Christian”, so that stuck. When the song and its video became hugely successful, the band began playing arenas instead of smaller venues.
