    Hey Ruth Pointer....you're still beautiful and still as exciting as the first time I heard of the Pointer Sisters in the early '70s when you were singing in Georgetown/Washington, D.C. What an amazing family. I know they LOVED you at the Grand Ole Opry!

    Ruth Pointer and Barry Gibb have very eerie similarities. Both were the oldest siblings with three younger siblings of the same gender also in music. All of the younger siblings died sooner (with the youngest dying the soonest in each case, June and Andy), with the oldest sibling outliving ALL three of the younger siblings. Ironically, the deepest voiced woman and the highest-pitched falsetto man have so many other similarities. Truly eerie, like a yin-yang of sorts. Ruth Pointer and Barry Gibb should do duets, in the form of joint tributes to all the younger siblings that have passed.

    @@orane3549 Well, it seems we are responding to each other a year apart. I've heard about Ruth's book and from the comments I've heard, they were all unfavorable and I even heard comments on how Ruth viewed Bonnie as well. I finally broke down and ordered the book to see exactly what everyone has been saying in the last two years. If I don't hear from you until 2023, if the Lord is willing, I will await your response and give you a take on my perception of " Still Excited".

    @Tanisha Mcclendon I can't find any comment that said she was "wrong!" including mine. It was Ruth's story to tell as she saw and lived it, but it is the readers right to comment on her book according to our understanding and interpretation of what she wrote. Simply put, she wrote nothing positive about June in her book and it was loaded with June's demons. Good for sales I guess! I don't disbelieve anything she wrote and some parts of the book were hilariously funny, but there must have been something good to write about June. Thankfully my wish came through in Anita's book. Same sister, same problems, but Anita's book was fair and balanced.

    @Tanisha Mcclendon Your point is well taken. It's just that when I read Ruth's book and saw that nearly a third of the book was devoted to June, but I couldn't find a single good thing written about her, as a fan of the sisters and their wonderful music, I honestly felt hurt (no lie) and believed this was Ruth's chance to settle a score with the most admired sister in the group (IMO,) knowing she could not defend herself. Every fan has a special liking for each sister, but I believe if a survey was done, June would come out on top. Again, just my opinion.
