Thank you for this interview. The Pointer Sisters are one of my all time favorite artists. I listen to their music on a regular basis. Love them dearly. Ruth's autobiography, "Still So Excited," is one of the best celebrity autobiographies I've read. R.I.P. June, Bonnie, and Anita. I have so much love for these 4 ladies.
I was in the military, in Washington, D.C. when The Pointer Sisers....Ruth, Anita, Bonnie and June....hit the scene. When The Pointer Sisters came to Georgetown, I think that whole area lined up to see them. I think this was right before they had a hit record, but the word was out how SO EXCITED they were! I love Ruth, and I miss Anita, Bonnie and June so much. Their smiles always made me happy even before they start singing. (We're the same age Ruth!)
I think the only person I ever saw who could hang right in with the Pointer Sisters was the great Dionne Warwick! A duet with her....or a show with her would be awesome! Thank you Ruth for keeping the Pointer Sisters music going!
What Ruth described in the church was common amongst Black singers who came out of the church. Many well-known Black singers' backgrounds started in the church. I think that the 90s female group 'Brownstown' started in the church. And probably one of the few female groups who had that harmonic sound like 'The Pointer Sisters.' I can also understand that her and her siblings never thought that singing would make one of the most iconic groups. Especially when you factor in Oakland and just trying to sing to past time. But like she'd said in another interview. Rhe timing and location played a role. San Francisco, hippie, war, racism and the political climate. But those beautiful and 4 sexy ladies had talent. And that's the Black church for you. I am from the Detroit area. But reside in the Bay area near Oakland. My family on my fathers side came from that same church background where they sang. I'd totally forgotten about it until my father passed away. I was a little kid during the early 70s when the group was killing it. But I'm glad that i was around and old enough to remember them. Between Oakland and Detroit. There was some incredible talent coming out of those cities.
AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST STARS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GRAND OLE OPRY! PLEASE DON'T MAKE US SOUND LIKE RACISTS! WE LOVE THE POINTER SISTERS SINGING ANYTHING! DeFord Bailey was an American country music and blues star from the 1920s until 1941. He was one of the first performers to be introduced on Nashville radio station WSM's Grand Ole Opry, the first African-American performer to appear on the show, and the first performer to record his music in Nashville. Bailey played several instruments in his career but is best known for playing the harmonica, often being referred to as a "harmonica wizard". Country folks love great music!
We love you Ruth!
Ruth is the greatest. And so strong; much love and respect to a legend!
Thank you Ruth the Pointer sisters made my life special ❤️

The host looks about the same age as Ruth does. No pun intended. She says she grew up on the Pointer Sisters. Ruth is forever youthful.
My mother is the same age as Ruth or close to it.
love it ❤
I like slow hand it's unique 😊
Hey Ruth! YOU SHOULD DO SOME COUNTRY SONGS! You can sing anything.

Why is the host inhaling like that
The lady selling the products for breast cancer is nervous about something. She's shaking and her voice is trembling.
