They deserve their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for being able to transcend genres of music and bringing the world happiness through their talents. Let's make this happen while Ruth and Anita are with us . June and Bonnie will always be remembered bless you both.
Yes.. There are only one a few all female groups that managed to transcend so many genres of music and were successful at it. The Pointer Sisters do deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It has always been in the back of my mind that Bonnie missed out on the best times...with that said, I had been hoping for two things...that Bonnie would get to record some songs with Anita and Ruth...and that they would get into the Hall Of Fame, so Bonnie could carry on...it's a shame neither happened.
@@neilm.greenberg4173 Yep! You got that right! No time like the present. Bonnie and Anita wished for one last go-round of the original group, but Ruth didn't seem interested. Too late now.:-(
@@robertmaldonado6655 The group should be renamed "Ruth Pointer and Family," that's what they are now, not the Pointer Sisters. Even Anita said she no longer enjoyed the current lineup before she retired. She loved performing with her sisters.
Wow! What a fantastic girl group! They really had it going! I met Bonnie Pointer when she was staying at the hotel that I worked. She was such a sweet lady. She gave me an autograph and signed it and rapped a little with me, after she can back from a concert. What a sweet, fantastic lady. I really love this group! RIP Miss Bonnie! I love ya!
GOLD, indeed. I'm trying to figure out what epithets would be best for each. Anita has always been "The Hot One", but that's only because most only remember three sisters...Bonnie is CLEARLY The Hawt One. (Pssst: They're all hot.) Anita is probably better known as The Vain One...but that's actually more like a sisterly in-joke...she knows...she's toying with our expectations. She's probably better known as...The Beautiful One? (Pssst: They're all beautiful.) Ruth...well, look...she's intimidating. I would prefer not to call her a nickname, for fear that getting the wrong one would incite her to punch me in the throat. But one must take a risk every now and then, so...The Strong One? (Pssst: They're all strong.) June? Duh. She's...The Shy One. 😐🤣 (Pssst: She's not shy.) Or perhaps The Humble One. 🤨🤣 (Pssst: In the "afterlife", all she does is congratulate herself.) Or better yet, The Crazy One. (Pssst: No joke here.) Or as it was hinted at in their Up All Nite special: The Smart One. (Pssst: She is literally the smartest human being to ever walk the earth.) To me, no offense to the others, she's: The Best One.
Hell yeah! I was singing along like it was yesterday. I've loved The Pointer Sisters since I was 11 yrs old. Fr fr. My friends thought I was crazy. I paid them no mind. I loved my Pointer Sisters. Period!
The 70s saw a resurgence of the 1940s. Art Deco album designs, platform shoes, big band sounds incorporated into the current disco sound. Pointer Sisters were amazing!
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Kennedy Center Honors call Ruth Pointer, the remaining Pointer sister!!!! These Women deserve every honor!!! Amazing, Gifted, and Talented Sister Act!!!! The harmonies and melodies as well as the playful banter during their performances is sheer entertainment excellence!!!! From Gospel, to BeBop, to Jazz, R-N-B, Soulful Ballads, to Country these women have successful done it all. My Goodness!!!!!!!! RIP June (4/11/2006), Bonnie (6/8/2020) , and recently Anita ( 12/31/2022). Thank you for filling our heart, soul, and ears with such great music.
The original Pointer Sisters lineup! And dressed in their original vintage outfits. I remember what a sensation they were in the Bay Area , their home and mine! RIP June now Bonnie.
Yup. A Bay Area treasure. I remember seeing them in maybe 1977 or 78 at the SF opera house. Just incredibly talented women. Love Bonnie & June the most!!! ❤️
These über-talented women aren't just singing. They aren't just entertaining. They are taking the viewer through a 20th century music lesson. Holy cow! Starting with ragtime, they then roll to country & western (not the modern country crap you hear today) then scat, then flapper jazz, and round it out with tap-dancing. I first got hooked on them as a teen, honestly for the "leg buffet". But over the years they have been paragons of musical talent to me for just these reasons...
I recently just got into The Pointer Sisters and I'm QUICKLY noticing that Ruth's voice is the honest truth. Those deep notes are holding that harmony together like Elmer's glue.
The wacky and wonderful nostalgia of these precious sweethearts (the "early" Pointer Sisters--back when they were 4!!) filled my teenage years with sO much joy and delight! Always in my heart, dear ladies!!🥰
@@blackheartbev3098 Someone in an audience asked them which one of their brothers sang with them at one time? June and Anita answered in unison..."that was Ruthie singing Automatic." LOL!
I've had the pleasure of seeing these talented ladies perform live. Pure greatness. Also saw The Emotions & The Jones Girls. Man, I miss real & raw talent

@@countessratzass5408 Yeah, You got yur Heart, Soul, Ears n' Fingers, n' Toes on the Pulse. The Great Pointer Sister's Bands. Fine Musicians. Almost ALL of them. Music For Life.
Tonight Anita joins her sisters Bonnie, June and Ruth in music valhalla. Heaven is about to get musical as heck because the last sister is arriving home ♥️. Massv respekt 🤘. Their backing band is ridiculously skilled. HUGE shout out to those musicians!
While the Pointer Sisters didn't stay with The Jazz, The Jazz stayed with them - which is why all of their performances hold our attention. For me, they comprise the best of the female scat-singers. New Orleans composer Allen Tousaint's "Yes We Can Can" could be today's anthem -
Heard the sad news about Miss Bonnie Pointer and I immediately had to come watch this video. Such amazingly talented artists. Condolences to her family. RIP.
My late wife and I caught the Sisters show at the Venetian Room of the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas that year. It was one of the most incredible live shows I have ever seen, probably the top. These ladies were joined at the soul for sure.
Lol...you can really see the height difference in the Hollywood Museum footage on youtube...little Bonnie right in the middle of Ruth and Anita...looking good, with a big smile, and having the time of her life singing one of the big hits she missed out on...it's how I choose to remember her.
Delightful and refreshing . I’m 63. I remember when these lovely ladies debuted back in the 1970s. I was a teenager then. Now, with twerking and foul lyrics, how low the music industry has gone. Please bring back and cultivate the talent shown here by the fantastic Pointer Sisters. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a little boy in the 70's the older i get more of the talent from the 70's are dying . pointer sisters were on many shows including the muppet show and seaseme street which was my kid shows growing up. Awesome sister group .
This was awesome to watch!!! The Pointer Sisters will also be my favorite sibling group. They are my childhood! From hearing them in my moms station wagon as a kid to learning my numbers on Sesame Street! From signing Gospel, Pop, Rock R&B, County and Jazz. So underrated. Are they in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They need to be. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey music fans, this is Golden. Early Pointer Sisters Singin' n Stylin'. So much musical talent, organic sistah energy, funky theatrical style, soulful song and humor spiced with authentic Hot Drama Queen delivery. Lol. They be OakTown gurls!!!! Anyone who was paying attention knew right away, they were going to The TOP. And they did. Much love and respect for memory of June, Bonnie and Gaylord Birch. Treasure this recording and performance.
I wish the younger girl groups would have looked at this and stepped their games up! I LOVE the Pointer Sisters and miss June and Bonnie, but I'm so glad my mother raised me on their music. Ever since I heard them sing on "Car Wash", I was smitten. Ruth is my hero. The songs they sang...even the kid chant song...we sang that when I was growing up. Beautiful and harmonious. Real talent. Clean and demure. Classy yet sassy. Natural performers. Engaging. Yes, they need to be in the Hall of Fame.
When will the legendary Pointer Sisters be put in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. The greatest black family female group in the world. The magical amazing talented Pointer Sisters. R.I.P to each sister who passed on and gave timeless music. 💐 💐
Michael Gill, ALSO HOY FRI, 16 OF OCT/2020, IT'S MY FIRST TIME SEEING THIS WONDERFUL VOCAL GROUP OF BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED SISTERS! GOD REALLY BLESSED THEM!
I was born in 1969. I only knew of Jump, jump for your love also, but then I looked them up on iTunes. I found all these other songs; I was blown away too. I love, love, love these girls.
wow ! anyone else love the scat session? haven't heard the likes of it in many years, singers now don't get the rhythm of it scat.. I didn't know the girls did it, Kudos Pointer sisters. my condolances to family and fans.
When music was real, when hair was real (no weaves), when clothes were classy. This takes me back in time, love Pointer Sisters, they are legendary/iconic. Yes We Can, Can.👍🏼❤️
Early 70s were heavily influences by nostalgia... Manhattan Transfer..Better Midler Diana Ross LADY sings the blues .. all had a 30/40s vibe ..things changed drastically when DISCO ARRIVED..only a few years later..
I love watching and listening to the amazing Pointer Sisters all together!! Miss you June and Bonnie. Thank you for your wonderful music!! Love the outfits too ladies!! xoxo
This is literally the happiest I’ve felt in a very long time. 🥰😍 Long time favourite of the planets. The Pointer Sisters could do it ALLLLL every genre they aced. Man I cried 🤣 haven’t seen this in yearrrrs! Thank you SO much for sharing 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
MissySampson1 The Sister Sledge suffered from being closely associated with Disco and had few non-disco hits. The Pointer Sisters, by covering country, pop, disco, and R &B, were able to have longer traction into the 80's until June unfortunately died,.
+Rodrick Colbert -- But they made a small fortune playing Vegas and Atlantic city... They were top acts at the casino hotels. They had a huge following because their act was excellent and they had great talent. When they came to town, the casinos were full.
What a fun find...haven't listened to Pointer Sisters in years but lucky enough to have grown up when they were an active group releasing new music. Rest in Peace, Bonnie!
The cutest girls to EVER grace the stage!!! Thanx to them I've been stuck on girls with overbite for these last 40 odd years! I'll always love you all!! xxxooo
Wow! The best female group hands down!!!!
初めて、ポインターシスターズを聴いたのが今から、５０年前位でしょうか。２枚組のライブレコーディングでした。その驚くべき歌唱力に圧倒されました。こうして動画を見られるとは、最高の幸せです。現在６８歳の爺です。誠に有り難うございました。

Amen, brothah
As for a females group go, they are in a league of their own.. very versatile.. they are the creme de la crème when it comes to female group singers
Yes!
Nobody can ever beat biological siblings singing together.
Clark Sisters, you're welcome!
Had the pleasure of seeing the Pointer sisters in person..it was great! I miss them!
Sound just like the record. No plugs in their ears. No screaming just natural born singing talent.
Naturally gifted black women with amazing talent
Naturally gifted women with amazing talent ..........absolutely..........
Priceless..Shame that many people have not seen this facet of their enormous talent. Bless the girls from Oak-town....

I feel you, I have just gotten into the Pointer Sisters myself, they are incredible
The wacky and wonderful nostalgia of these precious sweethearts (the "early" Pointer Sisters--back when they were 4!!) filled my teenage years with sO much joy and delight! Always in my heart, dear ladies!!🥰
To know/hear/Feel_Them was to be Transported to a New L'attitude. Music for Life, for Sure!!!!
That was the year when I finished my studies at the Jazz school, I listened to this Album almost DAILY ! Alltime great !
Oh my God, they are so talented I grew up with the Pointer sisters, wonderful times, Absolutely love them.
Unbelievable. They were soooo good. Each had a chance to shine and was a star in her own right and yet together they were perfectly in synch.
Beautifully said
Ruth, Bonnie, Anita, and June from lowest to highest range. Amazing, 4 sisters, with 4 different ranges that fully complimented each other.
I was just thinking that as I watched them
Ruth&June are my favorites, but all 4 are super talented. 💗💜🖤❤️
June's range was unreal. She could hit high notes the others could only dream of.
And for Ruth to carry out those low notes like she does is incredibly rare/difficult for women. Superb sisters!
@@blackheartbev3098 Someone in an audience asked them which one of their brothers sang with them at one time? June and Anita answered in unison..."that was Ruthie singing Automatic." LOL!
It don't get no better. Four bad ass sisters.

ain't that the truth
Yes,indeed💯
But of the four sisters only June could hit those high notes. Not even Anita could.
Don't believe me about June being able to hit notes none of the other sisters could? Even Anita, Ruth and their producer said it. They should know.
Orane yes it’s true, I’ve heard her high head voice and very low register as well. The widest range for sure, but I feel Anita had the best tone
In memory of BONNIE POINTER who went on to Glory today, June 8, 2020. Condolences to her Family, Friends, and us fans. Thank you for this post!!
Which one is Bonnie?
She's wearing the green dress.
boxofficegal79 thanks!
INJURYCOMP Goodness. Hi.
She died, she didn't go on to "Glory". Call it like it is and don't use silly euphemisms.
True talent. Salute!
Tonight Anita joins her sisters Bonnie, June and Ruth in music valhalla. Heaven is about to get musical as heck because the last sister is arriving home ♥️. Massv respekt 🤘.
Their backing band is ridiculously skilled. HUGE shout out to those musicians!
Ruth is still with us
Ruth is still alive and performing and carrying on the Pointer Sisters torch 🔥
Ruth Pointer is still alive.
One of the best acts in the world, still! Fact. 2024
I wish Bonnie had not left the group. They were amazing and set the 80's on fire.
Right. Something always happens to mess up great groups. Love the FOUR of them together and this Era.
That is the most soulful country tune I've ever heard and they took it to church!
They are so beautiful and talented. God bless their parents. Rest in Paradise June

Mike Some good bad girls... thank God!
This is the best Pointer Sisters video. Dig Bonnie and her deep voice. Those costumes too.
ThomasDeLello, is it Bonnie's voice or Ruth's voice? Bonnie is speaking at, 0:54, and,1:50. Ruth is speaking at, 1:17, and 1:38.
Four preacher's daughters struck it big!
I love those chics! They can sing. I bet their parents were super proud.
Both of their parents were ministers and quite conservative, but eventually they came to appreciate the singing style of their daughters.
Sooo much talent in one family .

Well technically unless she is less than 5 ‘3 or so she ain’t really petite,.. they all look over 5’6 without heels
They were fabulous performers! I'm so sorry to see Anita go. RIP

Are they in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They need to be. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
For me it‘s a badge of honor that they haven’t been added to the hall of fame. They need the Pointer Sisters more than the sisters need them.
Never seen this before this is pure gold
Had the great joy of seeing them in person back in the '70s.
Even though I was born WAY after this was originally recorded I love them and the legacy they left on music now. R.I.P Bonnie June and Anita.
I was told that I had a old soul when I was 11 or around that age I’m 13 now so your not alone lol but yes I love that too
Beautiful that young folks are listening to this.

That would have been really AWESOME!❤️
Throw in the Honeycone and the 3 Degrees and maybe Sister Sledge
I like Bonnie very much... She's so pretty and beautiful and charming too...
1:13 Ruth's voice stands out among all.❤
1:37, I love Ruth's voice.
What a fun find...haven't listened to Pointer Sisters in years but lucky enough to have grown up when they were an active group releasing new music. Rest in Peace, Bonnie!
I love how many different musical styles these ladies sing. Just watched them on The Midnight Special rockin' out.
Such range of styles in both music and fashion...This group was amazing! The drummer was awesome too !!
This is exactly how I remember the Pointer Sisters when they performed in Vancouver in the '70s.
No equals.
They could sing ANYTHING. BRAVA‼️ RIP Anita, June, and Bonnie. ❤️🙏
I love all of them. So much talent.
The cutest girls to EVER grace the stage!!! Thanx to them I've been stuck on girls with
overbite for these last 40 odd years! I'll always love you all!! xxxooo
haaaaaa
Bonnie was cutest...the one in tbe green
tween the 4 of em they have a whole floral centerpiece on their heads!
They could all eat an ear of corn through a cyclone fence. They made overbite beautiful.
