Redd Foxx & the Pointer Sisters on "Cher" (September 14, 1975)
The Pointer Sisters are an American girl group from Oakland, California, which achieved mainstream success during the 1970s and 1980s. Their repertoire has included such diverse genres as R&B, pop, jazz, electronic music, bebop, blues, soul, funk, dance, country, and rock. The Pointer Sisters have won three Grammy Awards and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994. The group had 13 US top 20 hits between 1973 and 1985.
The group had its origins when sisters June and Bonnie Pointer began performing in clubs in 1969 as "Pointers Au Pair". The line-up grew to a trio when sister Anita joined them. Their record deal with Atlantic Records produced several unsuccessful singles. The trio grew to a quartet when sister Ruth joined in December 1972. They then signed with Blue Thumb Records, recorded their debut album and, with their new label, began seeing more success, winning a Grammy Award in 1975 for Best Country Vocal Performance for "Fairytale" (1974). Bonnie left the group in 1977 to commence a solo career with modest success.
The group achieved its greatest commercial success in the 1980s as a trio consisting of June, Ruth, and Anita. They won two more Grammys in 1984 for the top 10 hits "Automatic" and "Jump (For My Love)". The group's other U.S. top 10 hits are "Fire" (1979), "He's So Shy" (1980), "Slow Hand" (1981), the remixed version of "I'm So Excited" (1984), and "Neutron Dance" (1985).
June, the youngest sister, struggled with drug addiction for several years, leaving the group in April 2004 prior to her death from cancer in April 2006, at the age of 52.[1] She was replaced by Ruth's daughter Issa Pointer. This trio had a number two hit in Belgium in 2005, covering "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" with Belgian singer Natalia. Between 2009 and 2015, the group consisted of Anita, Ruth, Issa, and Ruth's granddaughter Sadako Pointer. While all four women remained in the group, they most often performed as a trio rotating the lineup as needed. In 2015, Anita was forced to retire due to ill health, leaving Ruth the sole member of the original sibling line-up.
In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked them as the 80th most successful dance artists of all-time.[2] In December 2017, Billboard ranked them as the 93rd most successful Hot 100 Artist of all-time[3] and as the 32nd most successful Hot 100 Women Artist of all-time.[4]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions Pac was G! name another rapper that shot two Cop's for harassing a black male, in Atlanta GA. Dec. 1 1993 if snoop really hated the song why would he vibe to it when Pac performed it. I.J.S if i did something 1 of my guys didn't like or approved, i'd rather them be 💯 with me. and tell me don't release that
Pac was for his people, and the underdog
0:38 far right corner your welcome 😉 #Makaveli
I wasn’t a fan of Vanity Fair back then (1970-ish), but they played a local venue in Scotland, and since there was nothing much else on, I went along to see them. It was a dance rather than a concert. They were brilliant. Very tight, great harmonies, worked the audience well, and we all had a great time. Also not too loud. I liked them a lot more after that.
last moments of aaliyah rip
Unfortunately the ric solo was missed and off What a gem Thank you
Best music 1960s and 1970s
Jumping a crip and thinking you can go party that same night, was definitely the stupidest thing to do especially knowing they had no guns on them, that level of arrogance got Pac killed at the end of the day
Remember watching him perform at St. Marks and the riverboat hallelujah. Should’ve went further.
She knows exactly what happened and she knows exactly who did it. The smile on her face and the way they are all stood. disgusting
I know right, It's horrible
Ricky B made some cool music,back in the day.
An absolute favorite of mine since childhood,still is now💎 Auckland New Zealand 2024

Larry Salvemini lost his life that tragic day...
