The sisters were all strong vocalists with a brilliant harmony but Anita's voice had that particular extra flavor that touched something even deeper. I was captured every time by her soaring vocal gymnastics on 'Freedom.' You lifted my spirits so often, Anita. May the Good Lord lift you high toward his warm embrace.

Pointers were so good. Sad no one is making a huge deal outta this. She was so talented. RIP Anita💕💕💕

Thank you all for honoring Anita Pointer. She and her sister's are truly legendary.

Thank you for honouring Anita!❤️

RIP Anita 🙏 and thanks GMA for mentioning the movie soundtracks like Beverly Hills Cop. People probably know their songs and voices as they were everywhere in the 80s and 90s.

Yes they were... they may not know the name but their music was DAM near EVERYWHERE. "I get excited", "He's So Shy"... powerful group who left their mark in the industry... "I heard hes so shy the other day in a department store intercom and started smiling like u was put into a time machine back to 9 (1982) years old in at my grandmothers house in Rocky Mount N.C. and been playing it for 3 days straight on youtube NOT KNOWING one of the pointer sisters had passed on. How ironic...

The pointer sisters were the soundtrack to my youth. Always loved the song Automatic as well. Rest peacefully.

This group didn't receive the recognition they so deserved. They ruled the 80's and 90's with one classic after another.

Facts. They only received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. BET and Soul Train needs to honor them

As a group, The Pointer Sisters are very unique musically. A vocal style all their own, they carved a lane for themselves with music that crossed so many genres. A very impressive achievement.

This makes me so sad. My father had a VHS tape with 3 of their music videos on it, & I would lip sync in my hair brush "I'm so Excited" over and over.... Rest In Love Queen! 💐💐💐

RIP to Anita Pointer.

RIP Anita 🙏🏽🥀🕊🩶💔😪😔your with daughter Jada,Dad,Mom,June,and Bonnie

These ladies were the best. RIP Anita, you are/were a gem.

The Pointer Sisters should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! RIP Anita! 🙏🏾🌹

I'm in shock. I always enjoyed the Pointer sisters' music. June, Bonnie and now Anita is gone. Only Ruth is left. Very sad for her family, but very happy with all these ladies have accomplished in their life and music.

Thank you, ANITA POINTER for doing your part to help tame and save mankind with your gift and talent. Your legacy is sealed. In the meantime, I'll keep the music playing.

I was heartbroken to hear this , the Pointer Sisters were legendary and one of my favorites. We only have Ruth Pointer now , after she has now lost 3 sisters, just like Barry Gibb lost 3 brothers and is now the only Bee Gee. Thank you Anita Pointer for sharing your gifts , your music and legendary legacy will live on.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💐💐💐🎤🎤🎤

RIP QUEEN, PERFECT SOUND!!!!

Iconic introduced to them as a young child on Sesame Street The Pointer Sisters sang the pinball number 12 song love them

Rest in ❤, Anita. You and your sisters did your own thing and changed the game in so many ways!! I've loved you since 1973. I will MISS YOU.😢❤❤❤❤

Another legend ☹️

I alwaysed liked the Pointer Sisters music, I used to listen to their music when I was a kid and it brings back some good memories. RIP ANITA POINTER👼🙏🕊

RIP Queen Anita ⚘

Thank you GMA ! God Bless her such a trailblazer 🙏🏾♥️

Loved the Pointer Sisters. They were so good. My favorite of theirs was “Jump.” RIP Anita.

Rest Well, Anita Pointer. I Thank GOD for your life, gifts and talents.

RIP Anita Pointer. I always loved your voice. Anita and her sisters (Ruth, June and Bonnie) were a powerhouse in the music industry during the 1970's and 1980's. Talented at utmost and in every sense.

I remember ever hit song! Rip sweet lady.

We miss you Anita!

Longtime fan of the pointer sister music career r.i.p. Anita 🙏👑🎤

We will always love you, Ms. Anita! I am still really sad 😢

Bonnie Pointer was part of the group and their success in the '70's.

I love her...

Wow... just found out. Just saw this... RIPeace. A pioneer of one of the legendary singing groups of all time.

Praying for her family.

Great great group!!!❤❤❤She will be missed!!!

Anita, you will be missed. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!! Rest in peace.

Rest in paradise,💐Anita Pointer.😢💔 Thank you for your work that helped create our childhood soundtrack.💫🕊️🌹 I’m So Excited is still one of the most amazing and uplifting songs that I’ve ever heard. Thank you so very much! Rest in peace.🌹🕯️

RIP Anita, you was the Glue that Held it All Together May Good Be With you And Your Family 🙏🙏Your All 😢Together now in Heaven Singing your❤ hearts Out🌹🌹🌹Thank You Fore The Memories.😢😢😢

The Pointer Sisters' music made up part of the soundtrack of my life. RIP, Anita Pointer. 🙏🏽

SO SAD....SHE WAS AWESOME!

God Bless Anita Pointer, May Her Soul Rest In Heaven, Amen 🌼🌳🥀🦋🌸🌻🌺

This breaks my heart.... Rip Queen 💔

I knew there was going to be a glaring error. That error was the exclusion of Bonnie as they mentioned the Pointer Sisters by name. As most people know, they began as a quartet. Bonnie was on the first five albums before going solo. But rest in peace to dear Anita. You will be missed. RIP to June and Bonnie Pointer. My condolences to Ruth Pointer and the family.

Thanks for mentioning it Kiande. I was going to but you beat me to it! You think they would do better research before they talk about someone who has passed. Bonnie was in a few of the clips for crying out loud and not even a mention. Oh well the years of great research are gone. See it all over the net now misspellings, forgetting about personalities who have passed in weekly or yearly memoriams. Pretty sad considering how social media is everywhere and easy to count it all.

Actually, they began as a duo with Bonnie and baby sister June who called themselves Pointers A Pair. Then Anita joined them and they were a trio before Ruth got on board making them a "quartet." Such a talented and hard working group of siblings. Don't think we will ever have such a group again. R.I.P. Anita!

@@orane3549 Yes I know all of that. I'm well versed on their history. When I say "began" I'm referring to their first complete album as a group, although they had singles as a trio before that first album. The main point I'm making is that people always exclude Bonnie from their history.

Than you for sharing..The family were like family to me..Their late parents and my dad's parents were friends from Arkansas all the way to California..I grew up in church with Anita and Ruthies kids..May she forever rest in Peace..Such a sweetheart and Precious Jewel

One of the great girl groups of all time, Anita not only sung lead on Im so excited but also wrote it, an all time pop classic.

Anita Pointer was a beautiful, dynamic and very talented songwriter and great voice and explosive singer. She will be missed for sure, but, her legacy will live on. Now she can rejoin her two sisters, June and Bonnie. Love ❤️ The Pointer Sisters, they were one of my favourite all time, group, I still listen to them today. June 2024.🙏❤️❤️❤️🥰

Am so excited is my favourite out of the group

Anita Pointer was a class act. During the pandemic I ordered her memoirs from her website and I waited for a month to get it. A month later I contacted her staff and they apologized and Anita not only autographed my copy twice, she also sent me a keychain and other gifts and goodies. It's messed up that Anita, June, Bonnie and Ruth hasn't been honored by BET, Soul Train and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who hasn't even inducted them.

RIP Queen 😢😢😢😢

After Irene cara.now Anita pointer.Rip.🙏

Love them sister's...............
