Today I'm listening to a Pointer Sister's playlist. Some of the tracks include: "Goldmine", "He Turned Me Out", "Yes We Can", "Automatic", "Dare Me", "Neutron Dance", etc. I loved Ruth, June & Anita Pointer back in the day.

Such amazing vocalists with unique sounds and styles that blended together perfectly. "I'm So Excited" is still one of the best dance tunes ever!

Ha! Bonnie Pointer performed at our local gay bar one night and she was FUCKED UP! She preferred to let the 20 minute version of Heaven must have sent you (on cassette!) Run on and on while her dancers looked confused!

Poor Bonnie. She bailed just as her sisters caught fire. Only one minor hit with her sibs (Yes We Can Can), then she left and boom...He's So Shy, Slow Hand, Fire, I'm So Excited, and of course...Jump.

Their music has a unique exuberance that will make you feel good even when you feel rotten.

"I'm So Excited"

"Happiness"

"Save This Night For Love"

"Bring Your Sweet Stuff Home"

If You Wanna Get Back Your Lady was a great song and should've been a big hit for them.

The Pointer Sisters did one of the most fun shows I've ever seen, at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas when Siegfried and Roy were on break from their usual residency there. I've loved them ever since.

I liked June (R.I.P.) Pointer's 2nd solo album "June Pointer" in 1989. Anita's solo album "Love For What It Is" was ok in 1987. I really liked the single "Overnight Success" from the album.

True story--the first time I ever put a dick in my mouth, "Slowhand" was playing. I was 14, but the song had been out a few years. My best friend and I had been experimenting for a year or so, but that was the first time we tried oral. Good times!

I love their music.

I mostly knew them from "He's So Shy" and their 80s stuff, but I also fell in love with their older stuff when I heard it, especially "Fairytale," which is amazing, and "Jada." Love their older stuff now.

But this one still gets me, hits my heart. It just brings back those childhood sunny summer days, that feeling of positivity and beauty and hope. It's lovely, and it brings a happy tear to my eye when I hear it.

It was overplayed because Procter & Gamble used it to sell Bounce fabric softener and bought ad space for it practically every show on TV watched by fraus, including but not limited to the soaps. They also used The Four Tops' "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch" to sell Duncan Hines brownies.
