They are so underrated in my opinion. As we all know their cd Break out was the bomb, loaded with hits and catchy ass songs but recently I also got their Contact cd. Twist my arm and Dare me are both on it. Who else digs this group? As a new wave/r&b act they kicked serious butt.

back in 84, i got a radio/tape player and one of my first tapes was something from the pointer sisters

i recently saw the video for "dare me" and just loved it.

i downloaded the song and have been listening to it the a past few weeks and in fact just listened to it twice.

i like "slow hand". Thats a mature song by them. Ruth pointer did a cracking song on the "oliver and company" soundtrack. Love her voice.

Love 'em!

My fave Pointer Sister's song is their first hit from the 70's, "Yes We Can-Can". Lawd is it funky!

So you have to watch this one

Hope the link works

They had a lot of good songs. I liked Freedom and Automatic best.

I've been hooked on "Automatic" lately.

did they sing "jump (for my love) " ??

My favorite was "Baby Come And Get It".

That song is so damn catchy,I love it!

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

I still love working out to Jump!

They also laid down some hellified funk in the 70's.

"Dare Me" was my jam! "Slow Hand" was another great one.

can you recommend an album of theirs to check out from the 70's?

I heard "Automatic" the other day at a store. The Pointers owned the eighties (too bad they had some many problems after them).

what exactly happened to them?

They just had a new single out in Belgium with 'Idols' winner
Natalia..a dreadful cover version of 'Sisters r doing it 4 themselves'..
They also played about 10 dates in the Antwerp Sports Arena with this
Natalia girl..sort of as her support group throughout the show..

That's a little bit sad but I might want to hear it.

What happened to the Pointers? June had problems with drugs and was forced out by the other members...her sisters! They said it was until she cleaned up her act but I think they seem to be more than happy with her replacement, who is either Anita or Ruth's daugther . In the ninties, I don't think they released one album independently but nobody cared. I think they also toured with some play, "Ain't Misbehavin". That was it. And now they are doing covers in Belgium with the Idol winnner...sad!

They were untalented tarts.

Dare Me is my favorite too.

And lets not forget about the DX7-driven Automatic.

Are you kidding? Please....

did you guys ever hear their remake of Prince's "I Feel For You"? It appears on their 1982 album 'So Excited',a few years before Chaka's version came out.

I loved the deep voice in Automatic. That was my jam.

JackieBlue said:

me too. i think she has the deepest voice in a woman i've ever heard. she has another track called hey you on he cd contact where her voice is sings in a very low register. her voice is so distinctive.
