DiscoCat, I cannot thank you enough for creating this gorgeous mix of one of my absolute favorites from that era. It's brought back so many wonderful moments I shared with my dear friends when we would all go to a club to dance the night away, with one exception, your brilliant remix is the one we should have heard and danced to back then, and thankfully I can listen to this wonderful remix. Again, I can't thank you enough for your amazing creations and for sharing them with us...
Bonnie Pointer passed away on June 8th, 2020, she was 69 years old... The Oakland, CA native, as a solo artist, had three Top 100 records, "Free Me From My Freedom" {#58 in 1979}, a covered version of the Elgins' "Heaven Must Have Sent You" {#11 in 1979} and a covered version of the Four Tops' "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" {#40 in 1980}... She charted six more times on the Top 100 as a member of the Pointer Sisters... May she R.I.P.
Thank you for the information. It's so sad to hear the news of her passing away. Actually, I was still young when I first heard this song from our LP viinyl record of disco hits back then. However, I didn't have any idea that she was one of the famous Pointer Sisters. i love the Pointer Sisters back in the mid 80's during my growing up years. RIP Bonnie Pointer. You and your music will truly be missed. Sincerest love from the Philippines. ❤❤❤
RIP Bonnie Oakland, CA aka Oaktown, the Funky Town, by the natives, seldom gets recognition for the wealth of artists of all media it generates, Bonnie Pointers, musicians galore, writers like Jack London and Philip K. Dick., etc. A city hard to love but that is great in many ways.
To all who Loved and lost her, your in my thoughts and prayers here in Philadelphia, Pa. Bonnie Pointer, Thanks for the joy you brought me! June 8th 2020 ❤🙏😢
Como recuerdo aquellos hermosos días del Verano de 1980 antes de entrar a la UACH , y cuando de regreso venia casa caminando desde el iSSTE , son cosas que siempre llevare grabadas en mi ser y de esta hermosa época Disco, en que todo era mas limpio y podías venir caminando hasta 5 km en plena obscuridad por la vía del tren, ah!!! me gustaría volver a vivirlos , no tenia nada solo la disco y la música . Gracias por compartir esta hermosa balada que tantos recuerdos míos tiene....
As a "disco" DJ (and more), I loved playing this version, by Ms. Pointer, of The Four Tops classic hit most of all - especially when they take it up a notch down-the-stretch to the fade (7:11) in this remixed version! R.I.P. back in the "Heaven" which sent you to us all.
Had the pleasure of dancing along her on this version at Backstreet Ft. Lauderdale's stage...! Awesome talent, a bigger heart...! Thanks for making the gay community go through the AIDS pandemic with a big smile and come out stronger...! we are all in debt to you and your family....RIP!
now with the passing of the last of the Top $ , I could not help but to remember this beautiful version that was a major hit in my youth years. I got goosebumps when started hearing the first notes, i clearly remember how the discos went ballistic when this song started playing. music can bring the best memories always . thanks for sharing
On this day in 1980 {March 8th} Bonnie Pointer performed her covered version of "I Can't Help Myself" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'... At the time her version was at #48 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, that was also it's eleventh and last week on the chart, two weeks earlier it had peaked at #40 {for 2 weeks}... Fifteen years earlier on June 13th, 1965 the Four Tops' original version of the song peaked at #1 {for 2 non-consecutive weeks} on the Top 100 chart... Donnie Elbert also covered the song, his version peaked on the Top 100 in 1972 at position #22... Ms. Pointer, as a solo artist, had two other Top 100 records, "Free Me From My Freedom/Tie Me To A Tree" {#58 in 1979} and "Heaven Must Have Sent You" {#11, also in 1979}... She charted six more times on the Top 100 as a member of the Pointer Sisters... Bonnie Pointer, born Patricia Eva Pointer, will celebrate her 68th birthday in four months on July 11th {2018}...
Vivan los 70 grandes canciones y grandes cantantes buenos recuerdos y en aquellos tiempos maravillosos en plena juventud bailando y moviendo el body en la Disco me gustaaaa creo que a ti también 🎵🎼🎧💯🎶⭐👍👍👍
I love this mix. My best friend, more like a brother I didn't have, used to make me play this Nd Heaven every weekend before we went clubbing just in case it wasn't played at the disco or club we visited. He died in the l as te 80s but each time I hear these 2 songs my heart skips a beat in memory of him. R. I. P Peter Burton (Wonder Witch), you're still missed my brother love you loads old girl. Thanks again Cat F getting it right once again, you're incredible. Hugs from across the pond take care Clive
Thank you, Daddy, for the memories you made for me and your other 6 children. You were a great dancer and we inherited it!!! We love and miss you forever!! I'm crying and laughing right now in 2024!!! I miss you so much and my heart always long for you and your love for great music like this classic song😪🥲😛😪🥲😋!!!!!!!!!
I once read that the Pointer sisters father was a pastor and they sang in his church and he was the one who told them that they had too much talent to waste it singing in church and that they should go out and have a career, he was obviously a wise man and a good father! RIP Bonnie!
I heard this version when my older brother used to buy record single when I was a kid back in the 80s. I still have it and all other versions do not compare to this version (except the four tops original). One of my favorites.
Un saludo hasta el Cielo mi cuñada ya con esta Rolita me acuerdo mucho de ella cuando convivimos en la terraza de tu Casa 😢😢😢seguirás viva en nuestros corazones ♥ 💕 ❤
You HAVE to do the iconic Heaven Must Have Sent You & maybe a mix that includes it along with Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch. I was forever mixing the two together, back & forth when I DJ’d at the clubs.

OMG I remember this song playing in all the LA disco clubs like,The palladium, Florentine Gardens, Disco circus, mickey’s, the Abby, Ripples, Newport Station, only 16 years using my fake CA ID. What fun memories and what great times at all those clubs.

Bonnie Pointer was so great. And this was a fantastic song. With Eddie Hazel's scratch guitar, it was perfection

Can't Help My Self
/
… Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times
… When you snap your fingers
Or wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to you, baby
And there's nothing I can do
Ooh, sugar
… Sugarpie honeybunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see
Wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And I've tried
But everytime I see your face
I get up all choked up inside
… When I call your name, girl
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide
… Sugarpie honeybunch
You now that I'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
… Sugarpie honeybunch
I'll do anything you ask me to
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
… Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
Tradução em Português
Eu Não Posso Evitar
Meu doce, meu mel
Você sabe que eu te amo
Eu não consigo evitar
Eu amo você e ninguém mais
Nessa e noutra vida
Você vem e vai
Deixo apenas sua foto na carteira
E eu a beijei milhares de vezes
Quando você estala seus dedos
Ou pisca seu olho
Eu venho correndo para você
Eu estou amarrado às cordas do seu avental
E não há nada que eu possa fazer
Ooh, meu doce
Meu doce, meu mel
E estou o mais fraco que um homem poderia estar
Eu não consigo evitar
Eu sou um bobo apaixonado, você vê
Queria te dizer que eu não te amo
Dizer a você que nós estamos terminados
E eu tentei
Mas cada vez que eu vejo seu rosto
Eu me levanto todo chocado, até as entranhas
Quando eu chamo seu nome, garota
Inicia-se a chama queimando meu coração
Rasgando-o em todos os pedaços
Não importa que eu tente
Meu amor eu não posso esconder
Meu doce, meu mel
Você sabe que eu estou fraco por você
Eu não posso evitar
Eu amo você e ninguém mais
Meu doce, meu mel
Eu farei qualquer coisa que você me pedir
Eu não posso evitar
Eu quero você e ninguém mais
Meu doce, meu mel
Você sabe que eu te amo
Eu não posso evitar
R.i.p.bonnie
