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!!

The music then is 100 times better than the rap music out now. I never buy music these days because its nothing like music from the 70s'and 80s'. The Pointer Sisters were and are incredibly talented. I know June struggled with an addiction problem through the years. It's too bad she couldn't overcome it.

I always kinda liked their music. I used to be a big fan of MTV back when they were worth a damn and the Pointer Sisters had a number of music videos out at the time. I distinctly remember the video for 'I'm so excited' when one of them was shown in a bathtub covered in soap bubbles. As she rose up out of the tub, either due to carelessness or by design, there was a brief flash of her, ahhh, private area.

Man, I sure miss the old MTV ;)

Break Out is one of the best 80s CDs around. Loved the Pointer Sisters... June will be missed. RIP, lady!
