I know everyone's probably heard this song more than enough times... a mega hit from 1984. One of the biggest hits of the whole decade and certainly for the Pointer Sisters.

There is a section that still holds my interest when I hear it. Around 2:34-3:00, this song does a real switch up into the bridge section. I was trying to find the chord changes for this.

When you are nex-x-xt to me
Oh I come aliiiive..

She completed the Pointer Sisters sound. It's just weird seeing Ruth, Anita and Ruth's daughter Issa. If only she conquered her demons... anyway she's with the angels now.

That part of the song sounds fresh to me, and a whole song could be made out of those changes.

Yeah I could've seen a part two had they continued the song, lol

That was June. Yeah, she was awesome. Love that part, now that you mention it, Cinnie! Makes the song a little bit funkier.
