Always loved this song in GTA: Vice City. Rip Anita

It's 1984. I'm in Zimbabwe and I'm eight years old, sitting with Mum and Big Sis listening to Voice of America with Casey Kasem on Mum's Grundig radio. This song and Solid by Ashford and Simpson ALWAYS conjure up that memory. And Mum STILL has that radio...

Ruth Pointer's voice on this track is AMAZING. She said she wished her voice was as soulful as Chaka or Aretha. Ruth, if you see this, please know that even if you can't hit high notes like Chaka or Aretha, your low register is soulful and legendary in its own right.

So wait....is that really her voice? I would think they just auto-tuned it as that was the rage in the 1980's. Kind of like that deal in the 2010's with everyone was talking like a robot (which they took from the 1980's and 1990's). Addendum- You will have to forgive me if I'm wrong. I definitely heard this song as a young kid in the 1980's as it was huge. However, I was a 1990's kid so this is probably the only song of hers I know. I started getting into music in the very early 1990's with MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Bel Biv Davoe, Poison, Guns n' Roses, ect... That led to gangster rap (I loved that shit too much) and was quite literally saved by the grunge movement. Now, I love everything but country...I can't stand it.

Skating on Saturday mornings with my neighborhood friends to Cyndi Lauper, USA for Africa, Michael Jackson and Weird Al, dancing with the same friends to the "Ghostbusters" theme song, seeing "Back to the Future," "Top Gun" and "Dirty Dancing" and other classic movies in the theater, riding in my mom's car without seat belts and going for bike rides without helmets, "only" 30 channels on cable, MTV when it played videos, Atari 9000....would not trade it for the world! My mom loved the Pointer Sisters back in the day, she had the "Jump" album on cassette tape.

TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY 40 YEARS AGO TODAY (November 1, 1983): The Pointer Sisters (June, Anita, and Ruth) released their album “Break Out” (#6 R&B album charts; #8 pop album charts; #9 in the UK). (The group’s remix of their 1982 hit “I’m So Excited” was later added for the 1984 album’s re-release, replacing “Nightlife.”) [11/1/2023]

It just lifts my spirits like it did in 1983. Thank you ladies .

They needed Ruth Pointers low,deep vocals for this song which was a success. The other sisters could not get low like her and those saying her voice is manly or scary don't understand Ruth needed to be able to control her voice and sing this song in that range and good thing she did because she made the song a success.I can't see anyone else singing this song like her.Anyhow love the Pointer Sisters.

I agree with you. My wife is Latina from Chile, so half the time we watch Univision (Spanish channel). I noticed that the female news broadcasters don't try to make their voices artificially higher. There are some really sexy sounding women. Here there is this idea that a women should always sound like they are still sixteen years old. For me nasally voices are annoying. Sooo .. I am agreeing with you that a woman can have a great voice in the lower range and not "be a man".

You'd be hard pressed to find an 80's tune with cooler synths than this song has....people forget that The Pointer Sisters were one of the greatest synthwave groups in history. That, plus the beautiful layering of the vocals mixed with two different drum machines creating a very unique sound

The thing about 80s pop was.. it came from love.. falling in love..being in love.. falling out of love.. love from a far.. love. So many inspired men singing about inspired women singing about inspired men. This music disappeared in the mid 90s. It was recycled for many years but the magic was gone. I feel so lucky to have been a teen in the 80's.. the pinnacle of modern popular music.. 80s movies too!

heard this at the grocery store today and was jamming out. this song is f'ing awsome. never would have guessed it was the pointer sisters.

The beauty of letting each member get their fair share at singing lead. You got ultimately more variety and hits from the one group. When styles changed, or the key of the song was lower or higher one of the girls would step up front and rock it. All girl groups should operate this way.
