Wow, that's very sad to hear. I hope she'll be alright. I didn't know they had another sister (Issa).

Issa is actually the daughter of one of The Pointer Sisters.

I think it's Ruth's daughter.

I didn't know that June released a few solo albums in the 80's. Anita did also.

June is the one that had lots of problems, right? Drug addictions, posed for Playboy, and eventually got kicked out of the group, correct?

What happened to Bonnie after she left the group?

Its like she left the group & ceased to exist.

Yup, she's the one. I like her the most because of her voice and she just seems out there! Very rock n' roll attitude.

Wow! I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopes she gets well soon and stays that way.




On another note:

I checked out their site, and the other two sisters are looking great, aren't they?

Bonnie left the group in the late 70s and had a few solo hits in the disco era ("Heaven Must Have Sent You" and "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch").In the mid-80s,she had a minor hit with "The Beast In Me",but she wasn't enjoying the same level of success as her sisters.
