Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Pointer Sisters started as a family group from Oakland in the mid-1960s, with sisters June, Bonnie, Anita, and Ruth. Their first album came out in 1971, and it had songs like "Yes We Can Can" and "How Long (Betcha' Got a Chick on the Side)." They worked through the 1970s with albums like "That's a Plenty" and "Energy."
In the early 1980s, they put out "Black & White," which had "Slow Hand" and "Automatic." Later in that decade, they released "Break Out" and "Contact." Their song "I'm So Excited" became a hit in 1984.
Bonnie left the group in 1977 to do solo work. The sisters kept performing into the 1990s, though they recorded less often by then.
