Pointer Sisters Biography
Versatile Ruth, Anita, June, and Bonnie Pointer regularly
scored pop and soul hits throughout the '70s and '80s in a chameleonic
variety of styles. Formed in Oakland, with their first successes for
Blue Thumb Records blending funky rhythms with a novel nostalgic
attitude (beginning with their 1973 revival of Allen Toussaint's Yes
We Can Can ), leading up to their first number one R&B item in
1975, How Long (Betcha' Got a Chick on the Side).
Bonnie signed with Motown in 1978 and kicked off her own string of
R&B hits with Free Me From My Freedom/Tie Me to a Tree (Handcuff
Me). (June and Anita also tried the solo route during the '80s,
without leaving the fold.)
By 1979, when the remaining trio covered Bruce Springsteen's Fire,
the Pointers were headed in a more contemporary direction on the Planet
label, and He's So Shy (1980), Slow Hand (1981), Automatic, and
the anthemic Jump (For My Love) (the last two both 1984) were savvy
ditties that blazed trails across the R&B and pop charts. However,
the group's success declined during the late '80s, as their records
began to sound more formulaic. The Pointer Sisters lost their
major-label record contract in the early '90s, and the group began
performing on oldies circuits occasionally. In 1995, the trio made a
tentative return to the spotlight when they joined a revival
performance of the Fats Waller musical Ain't Misbehavin', yet the
accompanying soundtrack album failed to gain much attention. ~ Bill
