I came here under the strong impression of a randomly heard excerpt from the song "Fire" having no idea how good the sisters were in their time.

Well thank you to the last 5 comments.....everything I wanted to say.....let me add, with respect to all the woman Groups of the past.....the Pointer Sisters are the best......line up each woman groups best song and performance , none can compare to any of the Sisters up tempo songs...maybe Heat Wave...close.....do not know how people could pick the Supreme's as the number one female Group.....The sisters could sing ballads ,Jazz, Country RnB, plus, their showmanship was unmatched....should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame.........Jump would make a dead person get up and dance.....can you imagine being at that show in Paris.....

June Pointer, shown from 40:05, to, 44:06, in pink, blue, and, white, could have had a concert by herself. It could have been a two and a half hour concert.(2 1/2 hour concert.) Tickets could sell for $450.00(four hundred and fifty dollars) each. The venue could be where the Michigan State Spartans play their home football games, where capacity is about 102,000(one hundred and two thousand) people. The place would be packed, and sold out, LONG BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE DATE. JUNE POINTER WAS ONE SUUUUPERBAAAAD GIRL.

These women could harmonize with each other like no other group…! Lovely voices ( 2021)

THEY WERE ON TOP OF THE WORLD IN THE 80S

They did not get the credit they deserved when there were four and Bonnie was singing with them. Now they are all gone, but Ruth. I am so glad the family decided to sing and leave me so many good memories.

Look kids no auto tune just talent!

Ruth and this neutron dance taking us to church whewwwww

Unsurpassed to this very day. They had Talent and great show-womanship to boot.

Goodness, when I think about Pointer Sisters memories... Buying all their singles, vinyl albums, 12" singles... Then buying all the albums on Cd over again... Recording all their videos from TV onto VHS, including this concert, plus the "Up All Night" special. The Pointer Sisters have always been such a joy for me. I know they had their share of troubles, having read Ruth's book and Anita's book, but they never let it show. I'm in awe and always will be until the day my time comes 🙏 Bless Ruth, Anita, Bonnie and June 💗

They so deserve to be inducted into the RRHOF. Quite simply astounding talents They did it all. Rest in peace June. A Queen to the end!

Anita still performs with the group and for her due to health problems she now has retired and spends her time on the road with her daughter and granddaughter. Thank you.
