the pointer sisters
简介
by Bill DahlVersatile Ruth, Anita, June, and Bonnie Pointer regularly scored pop and soul hits throughout the 70s and 80s in a chameleonic variety of styles. Formed in Oakland, with their first successes for Blue Thumb Records blending funky rhythms with a novel nostalgic attitude (beginning with their 1973 revival of Allen Toussaints Yes We Can Can), leading up to their first number one R&B item in 1975, How Long (Betcha Got a Chick on the Side). Bonnie signed with Motown in 1978 and kicked off her own string of R&B hits with Free Me From My Freedom，Tie Me to a Tree (Handcuff Me). (June and Anita also tried the solo route during the 80s, without leaving the fold.)By 1979, when the remaining trio covered Bruce Springsteens Fire, the Pointers were headed in a more contemporary direction on the Planet label, and Hes So Shy (1980), Slow Hand (1981), Automatic, and the anthemic Jump (For My Love) (the last two both 1984) were savvy ditties that blazed trails across the R&B and pop charts. However, the groups success declined during the late 80s, as their records began to sound more formulaic. The Pointer Sisters lost their major-label record contract in the early 90s, and the group began performing on oldies circuits occasionally. In 1995, the trio made a tentative return to the spotlight when they joined a revival performance of the Fats Waller musical Aint Misbehavin, yet the accompanying soundtrack album failed to gain much attention.
