Guys, it's 2022, there's only 2 sister's left, they need to be inducted into the Rock&Roll hall of Fame already. They've contributed so much musically, covering every genre, it's only right. 🔥 🔥🔥
The Pointer sisters of course were asked about "Unsung " they respectively declined..don't know the particulars surrounding it but I'd say it's safe to bet there's so much to unpack before their books came out. 🤔
Ruth killed it with Automatic... So happy she survived those wild drug years. Sway's Mom is hilarious....she's like "Oaklandddd". LMAO Gave Out that Government... Damn Sway
Love the Pointer Sisters. As an 80's kid they were the soundtrack of my childhood. Their brother Fritz was my professor in college. Cool cat. Ex Black Panther and all. Bay Area Stand Up.
I love me some Pointer Sisters. I still remember their tv special Out All Night. Wish I could find the DVD for this. I was just listening to Automatic!!!!
Ruth, I want you to know that you and all your family is so very precious and thoroughly loved! Thank you for all of your family's contribution to music and making people happy!!💗💗💗
MiamiPush2theLimit Unsung has episodes on James Brown, Shirley Caesar, The O’Jays, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations, and Rick James. None of those people are Unsung. The Pointer Sisters definitely qualify.
While I was praising Toni Braxton for her illustrious contralto in the 90s, I was quickly reminded that she had nothing on Ruth Pointer! The Pointer Sisters are no joke. Damn. Do your googles!
Toni Braxton is not a true contralto. She has the tone but her range is comfortably in the alto. She can't touch the bottom notes that lalah Hathaway and Ruth can go to. Toni really is a strong alto. Same thing with Anita Baker. Anita is a mezzo soprano. She and Toni just have deep tones. But both Ruth and Lalah actually can go into a man's range
My older sister use to thump me on my head if I got on her note..I would be crying and singing at 5 years old..I betchu I can sing on my note now!! My older sister and brother went to Fremont High School in Oakland in the 60's..Fremont and McClymonds were rivals!! My brother Michael Douglas when he hit the scene helped take Fremont to the TOC..
Now I was always in love with June, but, Wow, Ruth, is gorgeous!!!! And I love the Pointer Sisters, for real. They are and always will be the TRUTH. One of the most successful (WOMEN) groups of ALL TIME PERIOD!!!!!
...the "...you sing this part..." Ruth is referencing (7:15), is when her & Anita were harmonizing with RANDY & LATOYA JACKSON during the "We Are The World" practicing sessions.... along with June (who's Husband started behind the scenes nonsense, which got them thrown out of the recording...), where Q came up with the "leave your Egos at the Door" policy....
Hey Miss Ruth Pointer! I can't even sit here and front like I'm a fan all like that. I know the singles (obviously), but hearin' yo' story makes me wanna do a little research to see what I've been missing. I love yo' personality too. Oakland in full force right now. I'm on the other side of that bridge. Goin' to Oakland was a weekend thing. My mom would take me with her every other weekend to Jack London Square and buy art. Then we'd go and visit her friend near Eastmont Mall and go up to the beauty supply store and she's buy me hella knockers and barrettes. Dag, I miss those days. Now, the only time I go to Oakland is if I need to go to Walmart. I can't handle that Oakland mentality. It's too much and I get nervous. I ain't got the skrength for it. Anyway, I wish you well, Ruth.
Loved Ruth's book and she was always my favorite back from that 1987 Up All Night special. They are all so insanely talented, and should be more recognized.
lmao...the fact that she had a coke addiction, makes it fitting that Automatic was on GTA Vice City. Im from South Florida so, The Vibe of the game was authentic to me.
wow. when you listen to this lady speak. You see how far the caliber of our artists have fallen. She shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as these garbage "musicians".
Yep...probably Anita is the only sister that remained unscathed during their formidable years. Her recreational use is nothing to even have a conversation about 🤷🏾♀️But the other sisters were off the chain with it.
Its my understanding that Ruth Pointer was married for a short period of time to DENNIS Edward whom Ruth also has a daughter with. One other thing Dennis Edward had Viral Menejitis.when he expired on February 2 2018 is there any connection between Ruth Pointer having carried the same viral Menejitis disease or is there any connection between the 2 persons or just a coincidence. PItts God bless. DPitts
Cartier pasha that's my favourite watch! Mine is over 20 years old and it doesn't work anymore, I had it cleaned cost me 300 euros and after a few months it stopped working again snif:-(
The spinners never won a grammy but they were on unsung/ the pointer sisters won 4 grammys /have never been on unsung come on (bet) do a story on these ladies they were phenomenal.
There should be a Pointer Sisters Biopic. They are seriously underrated as a group who sang in multiple genres and charted forever.
I agree
Can't wait, one of my favorite acts of all time..
Ruth Pointer as expected is so for real! With all her glory, she exudes humanity! Sway, your interview was very well done, respectful and for real!
The Point Sisters are legends. God Bless them! A real man loves his Mom.
And a REAL woman loves their FATHER.
This story needs to be a movie! Who do we talk to?
Guys, it's 2022, there's only 2 sister's left, they need to be inducted into the Rock&Roll hall of Fame already. They've contributed so much musically, covering every genre, it's only right. 🔥 🔥🔥
Anita just passed last year in 2023. Only Ruth the only living left.
@@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS Yes :(
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Indeed!!
2025!!
Good to see her. All the sisters was on point in harmony.
OwWww Yes you can can
Where’s the Unsung for The Pointer Sisters??? These ladies have an extraordinary story that should be an Unsung episode!
Lulu Star People have been saying that for years. I hope TV One is paying attention.
The Pointer Sisters aren’t unsung. They had a successful career.
The Pointer sisters of course were asked about "Unsung " they respectively declined..don't know the particulars surrounding it but I'd say it's safe to bet there's so much to unpack before their books came out. 🤔
Ruth killed it with Automatic... So happy she survived those wild drug years.
Sway's Mom is hilarious....she's like "Oaklandddd".
LMAO Gave Out that Government... Damn Sway
I love her! She is so fabulous, open and honest!
Love the Pointer Sisters. As an 80's kid they were the soundtrack of my childhood. Their brother Fritz was my professor in college. Cool cat. Ex Black Panther and all. Bay Area Stand Up.
The San Francisco Bay Area ROCKS!
true8teesbaby bay area has talent lol including myself
Poor June!!! I'm so sorry she endured such cruelty. How very sad!!! 😭
Love you Ruth … you should do a pod cast or host a show on the radio because your personality is one of a kind
She has a beautiful spirit
Ruth has a great personality. like she's fun to be around
Yaass, so natural and real!
I would love to just give Ruth a hug
I love her too, is she transgender?
@@nashl2857 are you freakin stupid. Ruth is as real as heaven above..
@@nashl2857 , no freakin way
Remember The Pointer Sisters appeared in the movie Car Wash w/ Richard Pryor (Daddy Rich)?
the wilson sisters
Yassss “you gotta believeeeee in somethinggggg .. why not believe in meeee” 🎶 I still play that soundtrack
I love me some Pointer Sisters. I still remember their tv special Out
All Night. Wish I could find the DVD for this. I was just listening to
Automatic!!!!
Ruth, I want you to know that you and all your family is so very precious and thoroughly loved! Thank you for all of your family's contribution to music and making people happy!!💗💗💗
I love her voice. she sing the crap out of "Automatic" and that 'Oh Yeah "on " Excited is no joke.
Tarkeema Lewis That just made me cough up my drink! 😂
...and Neutron dance Ruth sang lead too..that was a big hit Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. She really goes to church on that song.
Pointer sisters need a movie biography!
they need to do an unsung on the pointers sisters
k jay they weren’t “unsung” though. They were very famous.
MiamiPush2theLimit Unsung has episodes on James Brown, Shirley Caesar, The O’Jays, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations, and Rick James. None of those people are Unsung. The Pointer Sisters definitely qualify.
they should
@@jaysonsmith-xr9du they have did unsungs on Dru hill and bone thugs n Harmony
They declined to do it
Happy to see Ruth. I miss your sisters, but the music will live forever.
Love the Pointer Sisters. Ruth was always my favorite!
I love Sway he always calls his Mum to introduce her to great singers lol....the last one was Gladys Knight so beautiful.

@@RTDavis0503 yesss automatic is so effortless for her and that “automatic” is so crisp 😍😍
i feel like this panel doesn't know the first thing about the pointer sisters, but it's great to hear ruth tell her story
Great interview with a legend....the Pointers Sisters are one of my all time favorite
These ladies are legends!
Ruth was my fave. Loved their appearance in Car Wash.
My older sister use to thump me on my head if I got on her note..I would be crying and singing at 5 years old..I betchu I can sing on my note now!! My older sister and brother went to Fremont High School in Oakland in the 60's..Fremont and McClymonds were rivals!! My brother Michael Douglas when he hit the scene helped take Fremont to the TOC..
I bought her book on Amazon Kindle and my God it is good you must get it excellent 📚read
This Lady, & The Legacy Of Her Sisters, Are "SupaNova Bright..." THEN, NOW, 4EVER!
Love the pointer sisters. I think it's time for a Pointer movie.
Now I was always in love with June, but, Wow, Ruth, is gorgeous!!!! And I love the Pointer Sisters, for real. They are and always will be the TRUTH. One of the most successful (WOMEN) groups of ALL TIME PERIOD!!!!!
I don’t like the way he said one of the Pointer Sisters went crazy.....don’t mess with my June! ❤️
What a wonderful interview and I was genuinely surprised at what a great sense of humour Ruth has.
I really enjoyed watching Ruth on sway ! Good job 👍
This was a Great and beautifully interesting interview.
😍😍😍
Thanks so much Sway I love Ruth and the Pointer sisters !
...the "...you sing this part..."

Clearly the whole Pointer Family including the Brothers are Gifted. Any church that kicks out wayward individuals family members too...impressive
Oakland CA here

Ruth is so gorgeous

Very good interview
Wish June was here to share her story. Sibling always tell it from their perspective
true!
Me too because it’s her story to tell, no one else’s.
John...lmaoff.. She is so wonderful.. I wish this was one of my Aunts, sister or cousin.. She so real..
I remember first seeing them on Sesame Street when they sang the alphabet song.
How fucking cool is Ruth? So fucking cool!
I love Sway's interviews
Legend!
What a great group! They made such wonderful music together!
Dave Fuller nb
The Pointer Sisters are the first Bone Thugs-N-Harmony these sisters are the top of the line I love them ever since I was a kid
Her sister Bonnie just passed.
My home town!! Oakland Ca!!!! Yessssssss!!
Greetings Ruth, we miss and Love you and your sisters, you will always be a legacy in the music business...Cha Ching $$$$ 💎
Great interview her the other sisters are really great artist
Awesome interview, she is so cool, love her vocals.
Felt like my Auntie was being interviewed
She's old enough to be my mother, but I still think she a fine sista
wow. when you listen to this lady speak. You see how far the caliber of our artists have fallen. She shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as these garbage "musicians".
100% truth.
Love the sister's. All of them ..they were something else........😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😘😘
Another interview...Yesssss
Oak town in the house!!!

This interview funny AF!
She seems too cool!! I didn't know that they all had drug issues though!🤷🏽♀️👀
Yep...probably Anita is the only sister that remained unscathed during their formidable years. Her recreational use is nothing to even have a conversation about 🤷🏾♀️But the other sisters were off the chain with it.
That tongue on Ruth....
I promise I didn't see that at the beginning. lol
And as always you're gorgeous! 😉☺️
Help me understand. How is sway sitting here asking her questions that HE SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER TO WHEN MS. POINTER SAT DOWN TO DO THIS INTERVIEW
Its my understanding that Ruth Pointer was married for a short period of time to DENNIS Edward whom Ruth also has a daughter with. One other thing Dennis Edward had Viral Menejitis.when he expired on February 2 2018 is there any connection between Ruth Pointer having carried the same viral Menejitis disease or is there any connection between the 2 persons or just a coincidence. PItts God bless. DPitts
He probably caught it in the hospital
15:01 mark at first I thought she was saying she sold weave LMAO
Vamp ليون LMAO

Love the Pointer Sister They had many many hot records in the charts 4 grammys and yet don't get the Praise they deserve, Fucking Shame

Pool water!!!!!
The spinners never won a grammy but they were on unsung/ the pointer sisters won 4 grammys /have never been on unsung come on (bet) do a story on these ladies they were phenomenal.
I cannot see Ruth Pointer as a spouse for Dennis Edward at any point nor time. D. Pitts
Me either
Great Interview with Mrs. Ruth Pointer ❤️❤️ she's so sweet, warm, and so candid about her life.
Town biz Ness in the hizhouse
The whole "hand in my sack" thing is so unnecessary and crass with such a legend. Have some respect.
Rumers has it ,, mike Tyson is a weed seller,,, and he's doing very well,,,?
If she take off that make up she would scare the hell out of you.😂
Maybe YOU.. but not us normal people
Dang Sway, no introduction for her smh.....
That chick looks like Bow Wow with a wig.
Omg such a wonderful interview I love The Pointer Sisters😍 Ruth pointer looks amazing! Get an interview with Anita pointer!
Please interview Mrs. Anita Pointer next.
