The Pointer Sisters
Comment:
Best known in the trio formation of Anita, June, and Ruth, Oakland's Pointer Sisters started out as a quartet (fourth sister Bonnie went solo) before settling in as one of the '80s quintessential party bands. They introduced themselves to the world at large with a throwback '40s vintage look, made their TV debut on [i]The Helen Reddy Show[/i] in '73, and forged a charismatic path through bebop, funk, and — believe it or not — country, en route to the nation's affections: "Fairytale" was a top 40 hit in 1974, and led to the sisters becoming the first black female singers to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. "You Gotta Believe" accompanied the Pointers' appearance in cult blaxploitation movie [i]Car Wash[/i] (1976), and the transition to the '80s would bring a stratospheric run of MTV hits, most of which appeared on landmark album [i]Break Out[/i] (1983).
