The Pointer Sisters’ parents – both preachers – banned rock’n’roll from the family home (along with nail polish, trousers and boys), intending to raise gospel singers. But by the late 1960s, youngest sisters June and Bonnie had been bitten by the pop bug and were performing at nightclubs, adding older sister Anita to the lineup and signing with Atl...
Their eccentric new label Blue Thumb Records (which also released Captain Beefheart, Love and Sun Ra) was a fine home for an eclectic group like the Pointer Sisters, who dressed like glammed-up 1940s housewives (Ruth described scavenging “from our mom’s friends, the garages, the attic, the thrift stores”) as they barrelled through a riotous and unl...
The poor chart performance of a second country-ish single cut in Nashville, Live Life Before You Die, sent the group back in the direction of funk and soul for their third album, 1975’s Steppin’. The opening track, How Long, took Yes We Can Can’s elemental brilliance a quantum leap forward. Wah Wah Watson, former member of Motown’s in-house group t...
Like its predecessors, Steppin’s eclecticism was often disorientating – finding space for a six-minute antique jazz medley in tribute to the recently-deceased Duke Ellingtonand a schmaltzy cover of Bacharach and David’s Wanting Things – but its three heavy funk masterpieces anchored the album. Chainey Do was the second, a radical cover of an origin...
Steppin’ closed with this monster, the final element of the album’s holy funk trinity, a gospelised behemoth. Another Toussaint song, originally cut by the man himself three years earlier as a sitar-soaked psych-soul track, Toussaint offered the Sisters the song after telling them he had loved Yes We Can Can. If the title – and, indeed, its lascivi...
Always a combustive unit, not least thanks to regular squabbles over who would sing lead, the Pointers were in turmoil by the time they cut their fourth album, with Bonnie exiting the group for a solo career after recording the album’s opening title track (a cover of Sam Cooke’s Having a Party), and the remaining Sisters believing they’d been rippe...
June went on to submit her resignation from the group, and a reeling Anita and Ruth went off in search of the Sisters’ future. They found it in the form of Richard Perry, a producer who had helmed Carly Simon’s breakthrough LP No Secrets, chaperoned Diana Ross’s withdrawal from the Motown machine on Baby It’s Me, and guided Barbra Streisand from Br...
The middle-of-the-road turned out to be a comfortable place for the Pointer Sisters to idle through the middle-stretch of their career, satiny balladry like this FM radio staple coming easily to the trio during their tenure with Perry. Erotic but mature – maybe even tasteful – Slow Hand was as close to the country sound as the Sisters had braved si...
The Pointers’ could have seen out their career plying polished baby-making music, but they had one more potent transformation up their sleeves. MTV had arrived and, embracing the new era, the Pointers ditched the earnest dungarees and headscarves that had signalled their grasp for rock and baby-boomer audiences, in favour of the nightclub finery, n...
The Pointers’ next album, 1983’s Break Out, made a multi-platinum, multiple Grammy-winning success of the Pointers’ new direction, selling over 3m copies in the US, and yielding six Billboard-charting singles, including a remixed I’m So Excited!, which finally cracked the Top 10 two years after its original release. The album’s other hits played th...
