The song "Fairytale", a country song, written by Anita and Bonnie Pointer, reached number 13 on the pop charts, and number 37 on the country charts. Based on this success the group was invited to Nashville, Tennessee where they achieved the rare distinction of becoming the first black female singers to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. In 1975 the Pointer Sisters won their first Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Fairytale" , and Anita and Bonnie were nominated as songwriters for the Grammy Award for Best Country Song. The song would later be covered by artist such as Elvis Presley.
The Pointer Sisters could actually do anything, turns out. This is lovely.
Exactly
RIP Anita Pointer. I'm sure she's making beautiful music in heaven with her sisters June and Bonnie. Condolences to Ruth, the last surviving Pointer Sister.
The Pointer Sisters were extraordinary and talented. There was no genre they couldn't do, even country. And they won a Grammy in the country category! Amazing! RIP to Anita, Bonnie and June. Much love to Ruth.
Cannot imagine what Ruth is feeling now that she is the last sister surviving. I'm sure she and her two brothers simply miss their sisters alot. The sisters were legends.
They Where SPECTACULAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️💔🦋🦋🙏👋
Of course they could sing country. The genre started with African Americans🎶
The 1st and ONLY Black Women to win the Grammy Award for Best Country by a Duo or Group.
Beyond Say.
I heard this on the car radio on the way to work in 1974. When I arrived at work (a radio station, and not the one I'd been listening to!) I told the program director that the Pointer Sisters had released a country tune. He laughed right in my face.
Later, I found the single in a batch of 45s that had arrived earlier that day, and was the the first jock to play it. This was the beginning of my love affair with the Pointer Sisters.
You heard it on the radio on your way to being the first jock to play it on the radio?
@@mopenstein go...back...and...read...slowly...
@@moproducer I can read, sucka, you can't relate a story properly. What you meant to type was: "and was the the first jock to play it ON MY STATION". I was trying to help you illustrate the events that unfolded. You don't have to get all uppity. The anecdote , as you wrote it, read as though you were some type of pioneer. When all you did was hear someone else do something and then do the exact same thing. That would be like an artist seeing Da Vinci's Mona Lisa on display and then later claiming to be the first one to paint it, when what they actually meant to claim was that they were the first to copy it.
@@mopenstein you...are...fat...
@@moproducer Am I the tenth caller? Did I win tickets to see SuperTramp?
"...And found it's all been just a great big fairytale." Impossible to forget you!
Rest well, Bonnie
Anita is the lead singer. Bonnie only sang lead on her own solo disco song 'Heaven must have sent you'.
Thanks, @@CoachMitchellh. I commented on Fairytale because she co-wrote it. Be well!
Simp
My mom's old fave. Song rip. Mama
@@CoachMitchellh They all sang lead. You need to listen to the lp cuts, not just the singles.
My mom loved this song Rip to the sisters who left this earthly realm. These voices are definitely missed
I always loved the Pointer Sisters.
Me too.
Rest in peace Anita pointer your voice will remain with us. May God give comfort to your family 🙏.
Anita was right when she sang
"I bet you won't forget me when I go"
RIP beautiful lady. 😔
I can remember when they won the Grammy Award in 1975 for Best Country Performance by a duo or group !! From Gospel, to country, to disco/pop, The Pointer Sisters have definitely made an impact on our music !!! Thank you girls !!! ELVIS also did a cover of this song!!
Linda Thompson dedicated this song to Elvis , "with a tiny little personal message in it," Linda said. He always talked about how hard it was to find good material...
Elvis recorded this song and would introduce it at concerts as "The Story of My Life" 🥰🥰🥰
This is why Anita was usually lead singer (in their early years anyway). While they were collectively wonderful, I think she always stood out as the best. The tone and timber of her voice was just the prettiest. Can't imagine this one, "Slow Hand," or "Fire" without her on lead.
The greatest sister group of all time. I love everyone of these ladies.
The Clark Sisters said "Hold my hymn book"
One of my all-time favorite music female groups , "The Pointer Sisters" what a nice sultry voice on Bonnie Pointer❤
It's country music and in many ways it's the flip side of soul music and vice versa. Regardless of "race" music is universal.
Bingo.... They can trade songs back and forth....singing about hard times and hard luck. Check the history of
the Mine Wars in the coal fields sometimes where a mule was considered more valuable than a coal miner...because
a mule was harder to replace....and the miners were paid in "script" ...instead of money...and the "script" could only
be spent at the "coal company's store." Several thousand miners and their families spent the winter of 1920-21 in tent colonies, and in May 1921 armed conflict resumed. Again martial law was declared, this time by Governor Morgan. Union miners of the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek fields mobilized to go over to Logan and organize the miners there and, if necessary, to fight force with force. Don Chafin, sheriff of Logan County, gathered an army of 500 deputies. The governor appealed to the War Department for troops to avert a clash, and an officer was sent to observe the situation. Google the "Battle of Blair Mountain.".
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!;;;
There’s no genre of music we didn’t create!We invented every instrument which btw can be found in artifacts and carvings.So being the first in this and every country,whatever music we perform ...IS COUNTRY!But yallz can borrow it!
Anita's voice is pure country...like in Slowhand...
Do we like Country Music? We love anything the beautiful Pointer Sisters 'sang!"
The Original Pointer Sisters were smoking hot singers and beautiful ladies. They
always made me feel like I was cheering for my own family when I saw them.
I never get tired of hearing this song. Some of the best harmonies you'll ever hear.
Absolutely lovely, and an impeccable live performance ! No wonder they won a Grammy
Beautiful song. Beautiful ladies. Brilliant performance.
The Pointer sisters deserve to be INDUCTED into the Rock n roll Hall of fame. Talented and a resume of hits🎶🎶🎵🎵
Loved the way they dressed! To the 9’
@@debbiemeek3741 yes, women today think theyhave to be naked to look good. They was classy back then. Today g hey are trashy not classy n cant sing today.
This was one of the best country songs ever. I wish that they had done a whole album of country.
I was thinking The same!
Nelly with dat bass. Awesome! Tis' still possible, great collection.
Their early material is 1940s influenced, and would likely appeal to you. Track it down!
The Pointers were and are a class act. If my memory serves me correctly they are the only African American group to not only have country hits but they are also the only one to win Country music awards as well. I believe they were proud to have had Elvis record one of their songs.
I can listen to this over and over and over and never get tired of it.This just goes to prove that good music is good music. Don't matter if it's country, gospel, rock and roll or disco. And the color of the performer matters none in the least. I'll keep enjoying this as long as I live!
I've been listening to country music for over 50 years. Never heard this. God damn they are good!!!
Fairytale was one of my all time favorites by them. I can't believe it wasn't a number one!!!
I didn't know they did country. They are great!
This is the only one they did. Won a Grammy for it in the 70s. Awesome song!!
@@cowboycb36 Anita Pointer recorded the song, "Too Many Times" with Earl Thomas Conley. It went to #2 on billboard country charts.
I read somewhere that one of the Pointer Sisters described their appearance at the Grand Old Opry. When they started singing "Fairy Tale", a guy in the audience yelled out, "Those girls are black!" Apparently he had heard the song on the radio but had no idea they were a black group. Too funny, hope it's a true story. Thanks for posting this clip.
Well look What I found out here on January 1st 2023. The Pointer Sisters won their first Grammy for a Country Song. Yes Sir RIP Anita & Bonnie Pointer.
I lost my mind when I found this gem on youtube. I think you really gain an appreciation for how eclectic the incredible Pointer Sisters were and still are. I can't remember any other musical group who could change musical genres so effortless. Then or now without sounding overly rehearsed. RIP June...Thanks for the post.
My brother, who went blind. When I went to take him to his doctors appointments, that's the first song he wanted to hear.
Now this is good country music! It even has a little bit of a country-gospel flavor to it. I knew the Pointer Sisters did some catchy pop-R&B in the 80s, but I'm impressed with their musical versatility. 👍
I feel the same.
In 1974, they won the Grammy for Best Country Song and was nominated for Song of the Year as well. Here we are 50 years later, and white folks are giving Beyonce a hard time for releasing a country album.
They were the first (and I think the only) black female group to win a Country Music Award......in 1975. I listened, and listened, and listened to this song when I was a sophomore in High School!
Wow!!Bravo !! now that is a country song not only won a grammy as (safari creation) said, but might be the best country song ever.Now I was born in Memphis and never put someone over Elvis his covers.But these ladies walked ito Nashville and knocked it out !
best song ever!
Oh, Sweet Ladies … Thank all of you for blessing us with the gift of your incredible talent. June, Bonnie... you are sorely missed.
This chorus captures me every time, that I sing it often after I listen to this song. What a streak of success that women shared with their audiences for several decades.
RIP Anita.
My favorite Pointer Sisters song, and Anita was my favorite member. What a crush I had on her, and that will never change. Rest in peace, Dear Anita.
Stunning. 'Nuff said....
They didn't JUST sing, they were singers AND songwriters, which makes me love, and admire them even more!!!!
rest in peace Anita. Such a wonderful artist
Will definitely never forget them!
It just doesn't get any better than this! God bless the Pointer Sisters!!
R.I.P Anita. Another beautiful voice added to GOD'S choir.
Sounds more spiritual/hymn to me than Country. As always, the sisters sound awesome and are looking beautiful.
as all 4 sing the chorus, you can clearly hear all 4 voices seperately, but in unison, not overpowering either sister. thats a spiritual blessed gift
Beginning at 3:33 the singing just goes to a whole other level. I have been listening to this song several times a day for a couple days now and I never tire of it. I don't like the recorded version as much as I like this. This is one of those songs where the live version is far superior to the studio version. There's another great live version of this song on youtube. It's from the early 80's.
joeb267382 Anita pointer just nails this song. It's one of my all time greats and I agree with you hard to tire of.
This performance is a reminder that back in the 70's performers had to really step up and deliver. Nowadays many really popular pop singers lip sync all the time and it's treated like it's no big deal. Mariah Carey's New Year's Eve debacle is an example of how low the standards have become for pop singers.
You are so right these Sisters show us what true singing is and Yea they deliver LIVE always!!!!
They were. the. great
You got an "amen" from me to that brother!
weren't they the greatest?!
Beautiful singers so talented performers Thank you
they were so great, all beautiful, but Anita was just gorgeous
The Pointer sisters sung the heck out this song!!!! We loved these talented sisters, all of their GOD, gifted music!!!! Goodnight........June/Bonnie!!!!!
Always loved this song since the first time I heard it!
And now, Rest in Sweet Peace Anita 😢
Fairytale and Dare Me are my 2 favorites.
Thanks, I hadn't ever heard Dare Me. It's hot!
They’re all so beautiful.
I've always said, Some of the best BLUES you can find is in a County song.
This YOU TUBE thing is awesome. I'M AMAZED. A live version of the Pointers'
Fairy Tale. Unbelievable. My first real concert. 1974. Six Flags Over Texas, Big D . Senior trip.
Wow! I was a child of the 70’s and a fan of the Pointer Sisters but have never heard this song! They did an awesome job!
Such a beautiful voice now gone. Thank you Bonnie for sharing your gift with us. You will be deeply missed.
HOT !!! These fine ladies are my all-time favorite all-girl group. They can sing anything ! My mind was blown when i first saw them on TV singing my fave "Yes We Can Can" ...Loved them ever since. ( Also, Look at those waistlines !)
Elvis did a great cover of this song!!!
Every time something happens we have to hear about how Elvis stole yet something else from black people. 🙄
They won a Grammy Award for this, back when the Grammys were for creative music.
Pure music like it should be❤
Fairy Tale one of the best songs ever written for a whole bunch of musical reasons ! The beauty of them in every way is overwhelming . I have it on ifinite loop in my car; and in my head. A daily dose of this song just what the doctor ordered. So sad to see that Bonnie Pointer has packed up all her bags and walked away. She will never be gone. My heart goes out to her whole family. xoxo J
Came here after hearing of the passing of Dear Mrs. Anita Pointer. Heard this song for the first time. Indeed, it sounds like Country Music with a pint of Gospel.
I love them. I saw them sing this at Chautauqua.❤RIP🇺🇸
What a joy they are .... part tribute to country (that I love too), part satire of the genre and loved it all the way through.....
No satire pure country about a real breakup black people can sing country or any type of music there's the proof.
SPECTACULAR Love these ladies and I have never ever meet them🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️🦋🦋🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💋💋💔😢👁
Fairytale won them their first Grammy they (pointer sisters) were that first African American group to group perform at the Grand Ole Opry. Just a little facts about the sisters. Now with that out of the way I think Bonnie was one of the best singers ever even though she couldn't dance 😉🤣
Rest in Peace, Anita Pointer!
I love these ladies so much. Anita will be sorely missed. 😔
Nothing at all! Agreed all the way. I love the Pointer Sisters especially all the oldies with my favorite sister Bonnie.
Best honor for these ladys: Elvis cover the song.
Best honour for Elvis that Anita and Bonnie could compose such a great song for him to cover
@@jonldn :)
I'm reading Ruth's autobio. She hardly mentions elvis.
Simply beautiful. These women had voices, class and elegance. [It makes me want to weep at how young female singers made themselves look like today!!]
I remember Willie Nelson's 4th of July in 1975 when I first saw the Pointer Sisters with this song
I was there. Great show. It rained.
Absolutely the best sister group of all time. Sorry McGuires, Sledges, etc. And this is one of the best breakup songs ever. A fun video of this song from Fall of 1974. Pure greatness. I will never get tired of this.
This is a damn good song!
How have I not heard this till now?
One of the later favorites of Elvis......
I've loved this song since it was released. Anita's heart-felt lead and get sisters singing great harmony, this tune is a classic country tear-jerker.
I was thrilled when I saw this clip, then I we amazed when I watched the entire show- pure gold especially the band. Initially I was disappointed that there was no pedal steel guitar in this arrangement. Now I'd rather listen to the piano fill accompany this wonderful quartet than even the studio recording.
Thank you again for uploading this treasure!
How fun is that! I loved it!
"Nothing will get better if I stay. I'm walking out the door, you won't forget me when I go!!!!!!!! The sisters jazzed this track up!!!!!!!
Adding the tuba was an inspiration!
I had 'That's a Plenty' on 8 track when it came out. Loved that record.
Loving the song! The Pointer Sisters were great!!!
And love, love, love the dresses!!
Now that's singin...
You can hear there gospel upbringing with this song so well. Especially as the song climax, they really sing out
Multi-talented, extraordinary, and beautiful. Just three words to describe The Pointer Sisters. 😎😎
I have always loved this song, and these ladies. Radio played the heck out of it!
Listened to this with my first broken heart
Rest in peace June,Anitta and Bonnie….Ruth love you…
They actually won a Grammy for this song.
They sound fantastic. Thanks for the video
thank you thank you thank you. i've loved this song from the first time i heard it and to see them having such a good time with it makes it that much better!
The family full of talent
i listen to this great song every day!
ok, these girls are good. love this song! need more songs like this
The Sisters rules with good music - ageless!!!
Gosh many eons ago this was one my faves. Nice to go back
I Love it.
Ms. Bonnie Pointer, the true 'Yellow Rose of Texas'
