She and her sisters grew up singing in their dad’s church. In the tenth grade, Anita played alto saxophone as a member of the McRae High School band. In 1969, Pointer quit her job as a secretary to join her younger sisters to form their eponymous group.
Pointer leaves behind, her sister, Ruth Pointer, brothers Aaron Pointer, Fritz Pointer and granddaughter Roxie McKain Pointer.

The Pointer Sisters played at an Apple Christmas Party in San Francisco in either 1981 or 1982. My then bride-to-be and I were there celebrating. She managed software licensing at Apple in those fun, turbulent, and exciting early years.
Talented lady, along with her sisters.
RIP.
Beautiful voices, all of them. RIP lady.
Oh no. R.I.P.
One of my favorite groups...
R.I.P. Anita...
74 is far too young to go...
I liked the Pointer Sisters. They had some upbeat songs from the late 1970s into the mid 1980s.
The most-remarkable skin-lightening job in Hollywood history, flawless.
