I LOVE my little sister. I remember (back in the 80’s) when we blow dried our hair out and lip synced to this album. Our Mama loved it! GOOD times. 😂🤎❤️🎉💕
When they start into the second chorus, simultaneously vocalizing different melodies in yet perfect harmony and June belts out, "Oh, yes I do!" just before they sing "I need you" in the chorus in the same notes, you can really hear the incredibly powerful range and soul that June possessed with her voice, as well as her gospel roots that she never abandoned. What a gift! She is so dearly missed.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!! This is a love song (true enough) but if you listen carefully to the lyric... you MAY think is about carnal, romantic type...but it really isn't about whoever you crawl in bed with for sexual gratification, but actually is about sibling love. Sister's love in this case, and this song really touches my heart because well...my 4 brothers mean the world to me, so I identify with it =)
Defiantly underrated. The change of lead the ins and out of the chorus let everyone shine in this song. The flawless change in leads in the verses is amazing
My Favorite Female Group Of Allllltime💜🙌🏾💜 They were All AMAZING And Truly A Universal Treasure! I'm Sooooooo Grateful The Creator Blessed Us With The Iconic Pointer Sisters🥲 I Get Chills Just Seeing Them Perform. Style And Grace....Beauty,Too.
I miss cassette tapes! I cherish the Pointer Sisters! I’m sad I didn’t get the chance to see them perform!! The Pointer Sisters made the 80s amazing!! Happiness 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔
I’m back and loving this song so much!! It makes me cry. Missing my family in heaven. Thanks for the dream my dear Teta Dorothy! I miss you so much! 💔❤️
Love, love, love this performance. It is extra special. Actually all their live performances are superlative. Their beauty and authenticity not to mention extraordinary talent illumine every show, interview, appearance wherever, and I have never been to a live performance. They deserve so much more recognition and honour for enriching all our lives. I am so in awe of them but missing Anita especially. Love them all and pray Ruth continues to keep the Pointer Sisters flag flying high. Oh what a treasure! ❤
Ladies and gentlemen the 2011 BET awards would like to present our lifetime achievement award to Ruth, Anita, Bonnie June & Sadako Johnson, The Pointer Sisters,from Oakland California may our Black Sister's live long and proud, ya'll go girls.
This song always takes me to a good feeling place that only the 80's can. The 80's is a moment put into the microwave, pre-heated for seemingly my own fine, magical selective tastes. Every song back then sounded beautiful and angelic with bells, all the slow ones that is.
I will never forget seeing the Pointer Sisters in Eugene, Oregon in the 80's. They worked that stage together like a well oiled machine. The harmonies just blew me away. I loved 'em then and I love 'em now!
its a great song from them. It is a shame it was not a hit for them. Looks like not many people like this kind of music at the time. I think it was great and still is.
This group took us into the 80s. This is a great live rendition. Shame that Bonnie wasn't there to make it complete, it probably refers to her more than Anita, Ruth, and June.
@@blackheartbev3098 "Bonnie had a few hits in the late 1970's however it didn't last long, on the other hand this song signifies they were a close family, and she probably could've returned, nevertheless, their love for each other is reflected in this song.
An anthem of Black Angels. I should miss the 80s but no need:for heaven has recorded their voice, a luxury/a sound2hear4eons...Enscribed2b digital4eva! I wish I could b ther2watch them kids listn2this100yer from now. I can imagine.
I ADORE this song, because it REALLY "speaks to me", and Ruth is my favorite, because I identify with her since I'm the oldest, and I also sing with my two of my younger brothers =) LOS HERMANOS DULANTO
AMEN!!!!! I'm one third of The Dulanto Brothers, and would like us to sing a spanish version of this tune because it embodies exactly how I love my brothers.
@Cicilio1983 RCA sent this primarily to R&B radio, where the Sisters had struggled for airplay. This got up to #13 and then R&B radio forced Automatic as second single (Jump was supposed to be released, but got pushed back). It may not have been a pop hit, but it paved the way for Break Out to be a multiformat smash. INY has been included in every PS GH release showing the importance of the song.

HER VERSATILITY IS REMINISCENT OF WHITNEY. JUNE HAD A PERFECT POP STAR VOICE BUT COULD SING ANYTHING
💔❤️❤️❤️❤️
A brilliant singer. RIP ❤🙏
@@lexgraham2118I agree. 💯
June was the spark
Yesssss!!!!
Every last sister could Blow! 🎶
These were some bad sistahs!!! They had a blend that only siblings have.
Forty years ago The Pointer Sisters unleashed this underrated hit. They and music lovers needed each other back then!
Saw them n San Francisco at the Fairmount Hotel back n the 70s they were great❤❤🎉
Rest well ladies. We love you Ruth
RIP Anita Pointer 🙏💖👸
Amen 🙏❤️❤️❤️
So beautiful and talented. The number one female group of all time❤❤❤❤❤
On the album version of "I Need You", June Pointer is hitting whistle notes towards the end of the song. And great performance of this live version.
Talk about SOUL sisters....my God this was what I NEEDED today....everyday...the FEELING I feel when sisters sleigh a song!
This song is underrated!!!!
+Logan Franklin Yep...........and the Break Out album was huge.

Love ruths deep voice!! Super rare for women to be able to get that low. Talent!
Tina Turner can go very low
Not like Ruth, especially in Automatic
This song is so beautiful, it makes me cry. A very beautiful, emotional, song. I love 'The Pointer Sisters'.
I love all of them but Anita stands out just a bit more than the other two. Rest in peace forever June & Bonnie.
I always thought June stood out a little more than the other two.
I'm listening to them sing this song and tears are coming from my eyes.I don't why

This song is timeless and so true! Their love was/is really tried and true....they sure deserve a lifetime award!

"I got to have you by my side" "Sister" "Brother" It doesn't get any better. The fabulous Pointer Sisters.
i love these girls they are the best!!
Real singing
I grew up listening to the pointers sisters brings back good ole memories
This song always takes me to a good feeling place that only the 80's can. The 80's is a moment put into the microwave, pre-heated for seemingly my own fine, magical selective tastes. Every song back then sounded beautiful and angelic with bells, all the slow ones that is.
i love black singers and my fav singer is Queen Tina Turner
cosmicroyal77 there’s nothing better and beautiful music from the 70’s and 80’s.!!!
Love this song!!! And also Freedom
Superb incredible ladies!
God Rest the Baby's Soul. June rest in peace. We miss you. Bad dresses.... great voices.
I will never forget seeing the Pointer Sisters in Eugene, Oregon in the 80's. They worked that stage together like a well oiled machine. The harmonies just blew me away. I loved 'em then and I love 'em now!

maria adele it went to 15 on the pop charts
My favorite by them …Talent …my goodness talent unmatched anywhere
I just ❤this performance 👆👍❤
Wow, this is rare, beautiful Pointer Sisters, so fine.
This was my favorite song on the "Break Out" album.
@@TheMariposaloca This song is very good. I gotta admit, "Jump (For My Love)" is very good too.
Dearest June in heaven. HOW you are missed by us. I hope you can "hear" us. WE need you still
This group took us into the 80s. This is a great live rendition. Shame that Bonnie wasn't there to make it complete, it probably refers to her more than Anita, Ruth, and June.
#Facts
Well, Bonnie thought she didn’t need them, guess that was a mistake 😬
@@blackheartbev3098 "Bonnie had a few hits in the late 1970's however it didn't last long, on the other hand this song signifies they were a close family, and she probably could've returned, nevertheless, their love for each other is reflected in this song.
Very intense performance! 🎼🎹❤️💭👍🔈
They were pretty epic.
Love love love this! I saw them do this in Columbus, Ohio in 1985 in their baby come and get it dresses. It's such a sweet and sisterly song!
I love this so beautiful
Today I want to wish happy nameday to June up there in the heavenly sky, while listening to this AWSOME song🌹❤️👏

I was 2.5 when this concert happened. I wish I could be a little older and have gone to this concert. Out of their songs this is my favorite.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The only thing that would make this better would have been if Bonnie would have sung this with them!
🎼❤️
@fanofprotopic I have that album. But thank you anyway.
@TheMariposaloca there's a longer version (over 6 minutes long) on one of their greatest hits albums but I think the album is out of print
Wow I remember this concert, wish I could see the whole thing!!! Where did you get this?
