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]

These comments are wild. Beyoncé was friends with Aaliyah. Beyoncé was very upset about her passing. Beyoncé worn clothing with Aaliyah on it. She’s participated in tributes to Aaliyah on stage and in her song. She had nothing to do with Aaliyah passing. She was very hurt. These allegations are disgusting. Beyoncé would’ve still had a solo career with Aaliyah. Aaliyah was going more into film. Aaliyah was also about to come out with a clothing line with her best Friday Kidada.
Why does it not sound sincere?
Thank you for sharing this special video of Curtis. His music and positive messages live on and inspires us to keep on keeping on and smile :)
introduced Jimi to acid .
On his last night on Earth, Tupac slept in a pyramid.
I would like to know the name of this song. Can anyone here tell me please?
Emotion - Destiny's Child
Thank you very much.
Jimmi wasn't tall
It looks like she smiled a bit
HE'S THE MISSING LINK - THE BLACKEST-WHITEST-HIPPEST CAT YOU WILL EVER MEET! ❤❤❤❤

I remember seeing this live
Gosh Kriss is just brilliant why are you saying he's stoned

Like MJB said AALIYAH'S death was a spiritual murder she had it all a true original she had charisma was unique and vision for what she wanted to convey with her artistry and she wasn't gonna comprise Beyonce on the other hand was a pallette for the industry machine and was willing to play their game so they offed AALIYAH....simple Beyonce is easily digestible to the masses not an ounce of originality and she knows it hence no live interviews puppet but her time is up look at her husband...😂
Пиздят, как Троицкий) А эти букли на голове😂
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤beautiful man beautiful hair❤❤❤
Remember beyonces career was not really anything until Aaliyah passed. She also had no love for her necause she knew Jay z wanted to be with her
Everyone in this comment section needs to see a psychiatrist
Beyonce knows nothing about God. Inch a Allah she will be enlightened one day 🤑
Beyoncé looks happy those two look sad.
They know something you can tell.
Is there any footage from the memorial that happened on 10th of November 1996?
Thanks for sharing love it and Willie ❤❤❤❤
Hype is a shitty person for leaving Aaliyah and the crew I bet he gets nightmares about it or sleep paralysis
Cute lady
He probably would have survived that horrible day in Sept 1970 if Fayne had been there..Monika dropped the ball
She was an angel and you're a demon
True. Aliyah didn’t see it coming either.
The way she said "it could've been any one of us"
James Brown will always be one of my favorite artists. Hands down.
