RIP

I've been a fan since the early 70's. Be sure to check out Skinny Boy on Chicago VII, and several tracks by bluesman Taj Mahal, in addition to Pointer Sisters albums.

Funky as hell

Damn. I’m 75, and it’s a sad way to start the new year.

R.I.P. Anita. Your soulful rhythm and blues will be sorely missed. Anita would've been 75 on January 23rd!

1948 ~ 2022

I saw them during their first tour back in the early 70s. They were so enchanting, and I fell madly in love with Bonnie (who is also gone). Check out that first album, eponymously named. It is available via streaming and used vinyl only I believe I did a needle drop and SpecWeb'd it. It sounds great.

RIP Anita Pointer. I remember The Pointer Sisters first major hit, 1973's "Yes We Can Can" and their hit making run beginning with "Fire" in 1978.
