Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Pointer Sisters came out of Oakland, California, with four sisters, Ruth, Anita, June, and Bonnie, singing together. They signed with Blue Thumb Records in 1971 and put out their first album, which included the single 'Yes We Can Can.' That song got them noticed, and they kept making hits through the next decade like 'Fire,' 'Automatic,' and 'Jump (For My Love).' Their sound mixed R&B, pop, and soul in a way that felt natural for them.
Bonnie Pointer left in 1984 to try going solo, so the group carried on as a trio. They had some personal troubles along the way, and in 1990 there was a legal fight with their former manager Shep Gordon over money. Through it all, they kept recording. Their albums include That's a Plenty from 1974, Steppin' the next year, and Energetics in 1978. One of their songs, 'Heartbeat,' shows the kind of vocal energy they brought to their music.
