    The Pointer Sisters are so underrated. I can't believe their song I'm So Excited didn't hit number 1. That song was played everywhere when I was a little girl.

    These beautiful ladies were a big part of my childhood in the seventies. Car Wash was the first song I ever heard from them and I Loved It. I was an 8 yr old white child in a black school and neighborhood and I learned to dance with the best of folks. The Bump was popular then and on rainy days we would stay inside the school and dance to music for P.E. I actually became a pretty dang good dancer thanks to my friends and won a couple of contests back in the day. But, that's where I learned to Bump. When "Fire" came out years later, I was sold!!! So beautiful the harmony that I fell in love with these ladies and still am. They helped frame my childhood and their beauty and harmony completed me. They are Amazing and I love them still.

    Very well done video. I'd learned more about that. i wasn't aware of. In particular, the Motown connection. I knew that one of the sisters married one of the Motown producers. But I wasn't aware that one of the other sisters married 'The Temptations' singer Dennis Edward's and had a daughter together. I remember Edward's daughter after he'd passed away. But never made the connection. Th8s is a big to me because I'm from the Detroit area. But live near Oakland now. I've always said that the music in both the Bay area and the Detroit area were equal with raw talent. And 'The Pointer Sisters' are cut from that cloth. I remember their songs, "chick on the side" and "yes, we can ." But I was around 7 years old and didn't know who they were. But I do remember the groups name when I was a kid. Especially during the early 80s when I was in high school. It's sad at how their lives ended. Both health and relationships. I feel that their fathers firm religious beliefs that he'd put on them played a major role in rebellious and the drug issue. Getting a taste of freedom from one extreme and going the other extreme is like a smoker trying to cold turkey. Anyways. If you haven't done the individual's biography. I'd like to see it. In particular, the dark skin singers battle drugs. Last. All 4 of those women were beautiful and sexy.

    I can't say I know a lot about the Pointer sisters. Interviews and watching some programs, of course the Top songs that was played on the Radio or on TV. I heard about the feud, I thought it was Sad that Sisters who made a name for themselves, had a successful Group. Would fall out, and other Family members filled in. I guess most of what I heard could of been Gossip. They had some great songs that's still being played today. Sad when I'd hear one Sister had passed. I hope they had made peace ,and Forgave Each other. They were Sisters that was in this together. I know how Ego, Drugs can cause feelings to change. Because I have Sisters and a few of us has Grown Apart. Yes, I'd love for you to do each sister separately, and tell about their lives, what caused them to split up. Didn't one write a Book?. I know firsthand how Sisters no matter how close they was growing up,no matter how much they loved each other. At some point one will go off in another direction, it can be hard to talk to somebody who don't want to listen. Losing a Parent can cause changes. I'm sure there are things that haven't been said. I have learned not everything in print is true. I have Enjoyed what you have shared. So Thank You. I Always learn Something.👍👏👏👏. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita James. ✌🖖🙌🕯🌻💖🙂👋.
