Her sister Bonnie Pointer passed away two years ago at age 69 from cirrhosis of the liver due to alcoholism. Very sad.

I think Anita was the last one.
They really made a splash.
To: BenLurkin
I remember the 1980 Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and the Pointer Sisters performed “I’m So Excitefd” right before midnight.
RIP Anita.

I saw The Pointer Sisters at the Reagan Inauguration Youth Ball in 1980. The Beach Boys were the other act.

I think Anita was the last one. Bonnie passed two years ago, age 69. June, the youngest, passed in 2006 aged 52. Ruth, who was the oldest, is still alive aged 76,

Times like today, I think of another high level talent from that era: Natalie Cole. She was a fine entertainer, but got wound up with substance abuse and flamed out after just a few years. Natalie started out studying law and was well into her 20s before even trying to hone her natural music skills.

Yes! I forgot all about “Yes We Can Can”!

Unforgettable

Always liked their early stuff on Blue Thumb. Someone included Fairytale another favorite. Even country stations played it.
