The Pointer
Sisters trail blazed a unique path for themselves working with genres as
diverse as funk (Yes We Can Can, How Long), jazz/vocalese (Steam Heat,
Cloudburst) and country (Fairytale), all on Blue Thumb Records. Bonnie Pointer
left the group in 1976 and the remaining trio of Ruth, Anita and June Pointer
eventually signed with Richard Perry’s fledgling label Planet Records. Impressed by their unique ability to fit
their vocals into any genre Perry decided to fashion the sisters an album of
innovative new arrangements of lesser known compositions by the rock fraternity.
