The Pointer Sisters playlist

With the sad passing of Anita Pointer on 31st December 2022, we take a nostalgic look back at some of The Pointer Sisters’ music.

Anita, Ruth, Bonnie and June Pointer, born the daughters of a minister, grew up singing in their father’s church in Oakland, California.

The group’s 1973 self-titled debut album included the breakout hit Yes We Can Can. Known for hit songs including I’m So Excited, Slow Hand, Neutron Dance and Jump (For My Love), the singers gained a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994.

The 1983 album Break Out went triple platinum and garnered two American Music Awards. The group won three Grammys and had 13 US top 20 hit songs between 1973 and 1985..

The Pointer Sisters was also the first African American group to perform on the Grand Ole Opry programme, and the first contemporary act to perform at the San Francisco Opera House.

Here are just a few of The Pointer Sisters’ hits:

I’m So Excited

Jump (For my Love)
