Pointer Sisters: Special Things, CD

The Pointer Sisters were one of the most successful female groups the music industry has seen with 13 top 20 singles and 8 top 40 albums shared between the US and UK pop charts. In 1980 the Pointer Sisters released Special Things, their third album under the production genius of Richard Perry, launching The Pointer Sisters into the 80s and their most commercially successful period.

 

Special Things featured the gold selling single HE'S SO SHY which returned the group to R&B Top as well as soaring all the way to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning them a Grammy nomination in the process. Also included are the popular Could I Be Dreaming which peaked at #22 on the R&B chart as well as becoming a Club hit alongside the Disco classic We’ve Got The Power.

 

The album made #19 Soul and #34 Pop in 1980 and features contributions from Burt Bacharach on keyboards alongside Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and Motown session musician, James Jamerson on bass whose discography reads as a who‘s who of 60s and 70s soul. BBR introduces this newly re-mastered edition of Special Things accompanied by a non-album B-Side and extensive liner notes featuring exclusive interviews with Ruth and Anita Pointer.
