I remember a song they did that came out in the summer of '82, the summer after I graduated from high school.

It was called "American Music". A nice tune it was.

Awwww man... bummer news.

Being an old fogie, I still think alot of the music back then was WAY BETTER than the rap crap these days. I still listen to this one every couple months at VERY high volume:



Bless ya June, you and your sisters are one class act!!

Their brother Aaron is a referee in the NFL. Or was at one time.

They gave out tickets to their show at Caeser's Palace when I was stationed at Nellis. Don't remember which one of them it was, but she caught me as I was going in to the Base Exchange and asked if I was busy that Friday night. It was a great show - they took care of us GI's.

Rest in Peace.

We'll miss you.

My understanding is that June's wheels had been off for quite some time, much like Whitney Houston's are now.

Photo from last October in Vegas. Obviously, a couple women who knew how to take care of themselves and had pride in their appearance.



They look way better than most I see half their age.

FYI, Her brother Aaron Pointer played briefly in the major leagues and later became an NFL official.

They did a fine job with Bruce Springsteen's FIRE.

Blessings to the family...

Sad news.

At one time, they used to wear a 1940s retro look, which looked so sharp to me that I bought old clothes and dressed as they did. I was quite the fashionista. : )

They were a good group, with real vocal talent.

I saw the FOUR Pointer Sisters in concert in 1973, or it could have been early 1974. Bonnie was still with 'em; they were singin' HOT Jazz then, numbers like "Steam Heat", "Salt Peanuts", "Cloudburst"..and June Pointer was the "Low Alto" of the group..they were just fantastic..I'll never forget that concert.. it was one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

RIP June.

Mr. C4E was in a band which played for the Pointer Sisters at a show. Said they were very nice. Loved their music...Jump was always cranked up real loud on my radio back in the 80's. Love the song.

Far too young. A very talented group. May she rest in peace.

Thanks for posting this. It gives a good opportunity to express appreciation for the enjoyment and memories the Pointer Sisters have provided, and still provide through their music. I loved them from the first time I heard them.

Sincere condolences to the family.

We've been losing a lot of the "good ones" lately. June Pointer will be missed.
