The Pointer Sisters are an American female vocal group from Oakland, California, who achieved mainstream success during the 1970s and 1980s. Their repertoire spans multiple genres, and they have sold around 40 million records over the course of their career. The group has won three Grammy Awards and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994. Between 1973 and 1987, they scored 13 U.S. Top 20 hits. The group originated when sisters June and Bonnie Pointer began performing in clubs in 1969 under the name Pointers Au Pair. The lineup expanded to a trio when sister Anita joined. Their early singles for Atlantic Records were unsuccessful. The trio became a quartet when sister Ruth joined in December 1972. After signing with Blue Thumb Records, they recorded their debut album and began achieving greater success, winning a Grammy Award in 1975 for Best Country Vocal Performance for “Fairytale” (1974). Bonnie left the group in 1977 to pursue a solo career with modest success. After signing with Richard Perry’s independent label Planet Records in 1978, the group reached its greatest commercial success during the 1980s as a trio consisting of June, Ruth and Anita. With Perry emphasizing electronic pop and dance styles, they won two additional Grammys in 1984 for the Top 10 hits “Automatic” and “Jump (For My Love).” Their other U.S. Top 10 hits include “Fire” (1979), “He’s So Shy” (1980), “Slow Hand” (1981), the remixed version of “I’m So Excited” (1984), and “Neutron Dance” (1985).
