@@everlybross I am a great fan of “ Slowhand “ as well. Takes me back to the vinyl and cassette days of my twenties with a gf listening on a Sunday morning, all before the mp3 and streaming times when the compact disc was still kinda new, and the best cell phones phones were still from Nokia. Ahh, youth... Where did it go so fast?
All the Music in 79 was amazing. I was 12 and literally every top song that year seemed like a frigging masterpiece. Fire is one of sexiest songs of all time 🥵
I'm 50,and just getting into the pointer sisters,I remember from the 80s,but didn't realise how many hits they had....love them,there all gorgeous.......
You and I are in the same boat, just getting into the Sisters music. My 11 yr. old daughter turned me on to them in the 90's after they had reached their peak. Nevertheless, I enjoy these youtube videos like it's happening today.
RUTH POINTER IS THE ONLY SISTER STILL ALIVE (your error) June,Bonnie,Anita left here in that order. i have been a Fan since their 1973 1st release Anita tore up YES WE CAN CAN (their version is the BEST i have ever heard and remains to this day (FEBRUARY 2,2024) my favorite song EVER, i cried when Miss Anita left + BETTY WRIGHT & EDNA WRIGHT (lead singer of the Honey Cone) DM
The Midnight Special by far was the best musical program ever forget about today's generation of crappy musical shows like American Idol Americas Got Talent
June does an excellent job on harmony when they sing "Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah." It's so beautiful, Vintage June with that adorable voice. Girl you'll always be missed.
June was so swaggy... pure high fashion sassiness but with the mad skills to back it up. Both she and Bonnie gave so much to so many. Forever remembered as our beautiful nubian Queens.
@@strictlynorton Remind me again what "Nubian" means, to you, if you have an elaborate opinion. The kind of black chick who would sell out in order to TURN OUT whypipo? Or the kind who is ONLY attracted to, as En Vogue sang, their strong black brother? Are the Pointer Sisters....GASP...racists? They couldn't POSSIBLY be, if their Lord and Savior is some SCHMUCK from the Levant, right? Is...IS JUNE POINTER BOTH THE WHITEST AND BLACKEST PERSON OF ALL TIME??? What the PHHHHHH...😲😐☻👻
First thing I ever remember buying was a 45 of this song. I was about 8 years old and my mom had to have it but was too busy to get the record herself. I walked down El Camino Real passing under highway 92 to The Warehouse which wasn't much further than the overpass. I remember the orange and blue color scheme of the store, the confusing number of 45s that were available, the anxiety of choosing the right one, and giving the cashier the modest amount of money my mom had given me. Then I remember my mom's smile and hearing this song for the first time. 43 years later the melody still comes to mind as it did this morning. Love you, mom. So thankful you're still here. Looking forward to seeing you over the holidays.
The funny thing is.. There was an ad for a girl named Skylar Stecker on right before this played.. She was in a one piece jumpsuit that left very little to the imagination. Yeah she looked very nice.. But the intrigue of this and Anita;s sultry way, make the one piece quickly forgotten... It;s like style you can;t teach it or learn it, you just have it.. Anita has it in bucketloads. I also love her smile.. Shoulda kept that. They all had such nice smiles..
That's one of the things that makes the Pointer Sisters so incredible, each one of them has a distinctive, trained, well produced voice. June, Bonnie, Anita, and Ruth each a far better singer than ANY current pop star.
Hi there i was born 1974 an after all these years -after all these years she still looks good If there was one woman i could marry before i pass away it would be HER I really do LOVE HER shes so NATURAL an BEAUTIFUL shes like the wind she keeps me breathing,,,
June owns that stage even though she's only singing backing vocals here. So much swag packed into one nubian Queen. It almost isn't fair 🙂 ✌ R.I.P. amongst the other angels. Bonnie too. 💖💖
They all sound amazing, but I’ve always been in love with ANITA’S voice. Just the way she sings her “lead songs”...oh my goodness! Anita, Anita, Anita! ♥️
Yes, Anita's voice is incredible...but what about June's lead on He's So Shy and Ruth's lead on Automatic? I think switching lead vocals really worked to their advantage.
davielove11 Yes of course, they all sound incredible and have their own unique qualities when singing. June can hit those high notes flawlessly and Ruth has a distinct low voice that’s just perfect! I love all three ♥️, but Anita’s voice is just my own personal favourite. 😊
@@MichelleAngela You're right about June hitting those high notes flawlessly, the same can be said for her dancing, her moves are perfect to all of their songs. But mostly I love when June does Happiness and Jump.
Me and my sister used to sneak and watch TV late at night on the weekend and we would watch Midnight Special on channel 4 cause almost all the other channels were off the air. It was so fresh and new to me at 9 years old but the live music was outstanding. I always loved The Pointer Sisters and wish they got more respect. One the better groups to come along and one of the best female groups for sure. They have a lot of hits starting in the 70's and smash mega hits in the 80's. They were also in the movie Car Wash singing for Richard Pryor. That's when Bonnie was still in the group and they had 4 members. Great performance video! Thanks!
@@orane3549 Especially one kid! But the poor bastard had no idea who she was! But he still fell in love with her. With her SOUL, in a multitude of forms. Again, without even casting more than a second or two at her herself. Until very recently. Truly an amazing love story. The most romantic story ever, actually. As long as they live happily ever after.

One of my all time favorite artists! Saw them several times in the 70s and 80s from US Air Force hangars in Germany to Caesar's Palace In Las Vegas. Always awesome!
Will we ever, ever again see real sisters singing together like this again, at the top of the pops? The may be attractive women, but they were stars because they could SING! Back then it was talent first, looks second... Now?

Rest in peace, Anita Pointer
If you were a kid of the 1970s weren't allowed to stay up past your bedtime to watch this show
They were so, so good and yet you rarely hear them brought up today. They should be in any conversation about great singing groups.
you're so right!!... what beautiful voices they have...and this unique groove together!! listen "slow hand"...

@@colacoosorio11 yes, I was seventeen, and suddenly I am fifty nine...but their music will last.
It's a shame. They were borderline perfect.
The pointer sisters can literally sing any genre of music
i totally agree with you & they have PROVED it. Anita was always my favorite Sister RIP DM
Criminal that this amazing group is not mentioned more.
All the Music in 79 was amazing. I was 12 and literally every top song that year seemed like a frigging masterpiece. Fire is one of sexiest songs of all time 🥵
Outstanding for singing live -- 10 out of 10. True 100% Pure Talent. Why are The Pointer Sisters not in the Music Hall Of Fame?
💯
The Pointer Sisters are one of the very best female groups around!!! They are FABULOUS!!!
Best female group of all time, in my book. It doesn't even matter what genre they sing. It sounds amazing.
Agree !!

I am 46! All I really new was I'm So Excited...
RIP, Ms..Anita Pointer
The best of the best female groups ever. They should be honoured. RIP Anita, Bonnie and June. You hv left a beautiful legacy.
An Amazing live Vocal !!! Anita busts sells the song and the harmonies are smooth as butter ! Rest In Peace Anita and Ruth !
Ruth is still with us. June Bonnie and Anita have passed

Anita voice on this song were unbelievable, perfect, fantastic - PICK ONE!
Those were the years where you can hear the words of the music fire I love that song
RlP pretty & talented Anita.....my fav.😍
I love their look during this time. Black rock chic. Get it y'all. lol.
Just pure Magic 💕 rest in heaven Anita 🙏🏽❤️⭐️

Yes this is how its done. Real singing. Not screaming just natural talent flowing.
truth
Good music never dies - right?
Anita always put a lot of emotion into her singing.
R.i.p Anita such a beautiful voice
Anita, June , Ruth... Talent
I think the lead singer is just so incredible.. Her smile, the way she moves, the performance.. That's before you hear her gorgeous voice..
Anita
Valles075 Yes
Actually all of them were lead singers in different songs.
Okay, calm down bubby. She's not gonna read this and decide to call you.
That's one of the things that makes the Pointer Sisters so incredible, each one of them has a distinctive, trained, well produced voice. June, Bonnie, Anita, and Ruth each a far better singer than ANY current pop star.
Love you, miss you, remember you! Rest in Peace June.
The lead singer has such a beautiful voice.

Man, I gotta get me a hobby, lmfao.
I LOVE THESE WOMEN, THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!!❤❤❤
Love the Pointer Sisters! Love the Midnight Special.
Heavy! You can feel the vibes through and through.
God, this takes me back years! The original and best!
pant pant pant more please i so miss this such bloody great music . .
Those ladies can sing!!!!
hugs, sisters!
I love the Boss, but their version has always been my favorite. They are so amazing, talented, and underrated.
The boss?
Yavanna Klappal Bruce Springsteen
Does he have a really deep voice?
@@YavannaKlappalPiggiesRock He wrote the song, he wanted Elvis to record it, but Elvis died before he sent out the Demo..
June said "Bruce Springsteen wrote it but he couldn't sing it." LOL! That was too funny.
alot of people have done this song, but the Pointer sisters always did it best!
Anita Pointer has got a great voice,they can all sing,but I love the way she sings.
Love it! I saw this lineup at the Triangle Theatre in Rochester, New York right around this time. Summer of 79. These girls were rockers!
One of the best song ever written . awesome group.
I,m now really on fire over Denise Ballard.
Oh baby.
Great voice, can stop watching this video again and again 😍
Am I wrong or Anita always got the hottest songs? And I´m not complaining at all...
this is good..alive not play back...good job ,,,the singers and the musicians
pointer sisters best 70's / 80's act by far
they are very good....but that is a pretty bold statement
So many to choose from in the 70's, where do I begin?

I realy loving it, that old songs
As sensual as a song can get and still keep all... With civility.😊👍
Underrated
LOVE these ladies...Seen them in Vegas BEFORE they had their own show...and then a few years later when they were ON FIRE at Universal City!
I seriously love these ladies
The best part is that break before the line....."Oh Romeo and Juliet, Sampson and Delilah..."
Yeah, that's the money.
Been listening to this song since I was about 12......Still love it!
So much years later and it's still só amazing..
Am radios bias tires 30 cent gas 25 cent burgers and the pointer sisters blistering the charts!
fire indeed
2020 yes
Brings back memories

Great..
That's how you sing live
