(well, except for that whole June Pointer smoking crack outside in front of a cop incident...such a shame)..
at anyrate....help me here folks.....what song goes, "he turns me..tur tur tur tur tur turn me..he turns me around"...i think it was from Action Jackson? "He Turned Me Out" from the Action Jackson soundtrack. I have it for the Vanity/Jesse Johnson tracks.  damn i love that song....sad to see its not included on any of their greatest hits.....Space for sale... | |

In my teens, I used to get calls for Ruth Pointer. Guess our numbers were really close.
What happened to Bonnie Pointer? Check this song out at:

I liked them back in the day. My favorite tracks were Automatic and Baby Come & Get It. My cousin in Cali was good friends with them when they were coming up. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

vainandy said: The one I have doesn't have any of the 1970s hits except for "Fire". What I love about it is it includes some 12 Inch versions. It's called "Greatest Hits" and here is the track list (since it doesn't list which ones are 12 Inches, I will include the minutes): Jump (For My Love) 6:24 Neutron Dance 4:59 Dare Me 6:16 Fire 3:27 Automatic 6:06 I'm So Excited 5:41 He's So Shy 3:37 Slow Hand 3:54 I Need You 5:51 If You Wanna Get Back Your Lady 6:09 Freedom 6:21 American Music 3:58 Baby Come And Get It 7:14 That's the compilation that I have.It's pretty good,but I want a CD that includes more songs.They've had alot more hits than those songs. | |

VinnyM27 said: DavidEye said: you know,I'm gonna have to get me another Pointer Sisters compilation.The one I have is good,but it only features their 80s hits and it stops in 1985.It does include the 1979 hit "Fire",however.I need a set with more 70s stuff and a few of their 80s hits that came after 1985,such as "Twist My Arm" and "Goldmine".
Any suggestions? Without a doubt, this is what you need. 
It's a 3-CD set titled "Legendary" and the price is amazing! $13.90 at CDuniverse....And it's an import! It's all the RCA (or MCA, whatever....) stuff, so that's "Goldmine", "Twist My Arm" and more! 50 tracks (including some nice 12" mixes). Sadly, none of their early stuff but you can get that somewhere else. 1. Fire 2. Dirty Work 3. Everybody Is A Star 4. Happiness 5. (She's Got) The Fever 6. Dreaming As One 7. Could I Be Dreamin' 8. He's So Shy 9. LOVE TOO GOOD TO LAST, The 10. Should I Do It 11. Slow Hand 12. Someday We'll Be Together 13. Sweet Lover Man 14. What A Surprise 15. Got To Find Love 16. Heart To Heart 17. I Feel For You 18. Heart Beat 19. See How The Love Goes 20. American Music 21. Automatic 22. Baby, Come And Get It 23. Easy Persuasion 24. I Need You 25. Jump (For My Love) 26. Neutron Dance 27. Telegraph Your Love 28. I'm So Excited 29. Dance Electric 30. Operator 31. I'm Ready For Love 32. Twist My Arm 33. Hey You 34. Pound Pound Pound 35. Freedom 36. Dare Me 37. Burn Down The Night 38. Back In My Arms 39. Bodies And Souls 40. Contact 41. Goldmine 42. Overnight Success 43. I'm In Love 44. Moonlight Dancing 45. I Will Be There 46. Automatic [12- Extended Mix] 47. Dare Me [12- Extended Mix] 48. I'm So Excited [12- Extended Mix] 49. Jump (For My Love) [12- Extended Mix] 50. Neutron Dance [12- Extended Mix] You'll notice a Prince cover in there...No, not "Dance Electric" (it's a different song) but "I Feel For You", probably done right after Prince's verison and very similar to his. That's an impressive set,although it's missing a few 70s hits... "Betcha Got A Chick On The Side" "Yes We Can Can" "You Gotta Believe" I'll probably get it anyway 
btw,their version of Prince's "I Feel For You" is from their 1982 album 'So Excited'. | |

...The Pointer Sisters - Break Out Automatic Look what you've done to me I'm utterly at your whim All of my defenses down Your camera looks through me With its x-ray vision And all systems run aground All I can manage to push from my lips Is a scream of absurdity Every word I intended to speak Winds up locked in a circuitry No way to control it It's totally automatic Whenever you're around I'm walking blindfolded Completely automatic All of my systems are down, down, down, down tA  Tribal Disorder

I love everything about that song....the clever lyrics,the catchy chorus,the vocals.It's a perfect early 80s pop/R&B jam. | |

npgmaverick said: missfee said: "I'm so excited!!!" and "Yes" (off of the Dirty Dancing soundtrack) are great songs.
"Yes" was actually done by Mary Clayton 
As 4 the Pointer Sisters, the word "Underrated" always seems 2 come 2 mind. I've always enjoyed them. are you serious?? all this time i thought it was the pointer sisters who sung this song...hmmm I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

btw,their version of Prince's "I Feel For You" is from their 1982 album 'So Excited'. Yep, like I said, no seventies stuff but if you don't own anything from the eighties, get this. I did and am happy. They have at least one good seventies set out there that I've seen. I mean, for that price, it kicks the ass of any other eighties set! It has a very breif history of their sucess and but no credits (no producing credits but all the songwriters...and what songwriters...Prince, Sly and Springsteen covers...not to mention "Slow Hand"). You gotta get it! Didn't know that their verison was done so close to Chaka's. Thanks. | |
