I wish The Best of Soul Train were still on in Seattle. So much fun.

Come on people, I don't know these girls too well, aside from some singles. Which album is best? Where the hell do I start?
― Disruptor of Morals (Bimble), Saturday, 25 April 2009 14:28 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't want a compilation okay? I'm not going to take the easy way out here. Anything before 1982 is okay by me. Come on.

They don't really have good albums, but Breakout has this awesome Gary Numan-esque robo-rocker called "Dance Electric."

Oh god, Pointer Sisters are filling my heart with terrible, terrible joy right now. I can't even speak about it anymore. I will look that one up, thanks Alfred. These girls are making me way, way, way too happy right now.

Superb reading!

Awesome article, thanks for sharing! There should be an equivalent series to 33 1/3 on careers in pop music, and the first one should be on the Pointers - Anita's account gets at what an interesting approach they took to publicity, opportunities, niches.

They don't really have good albums...

And here I was thinking I'd post something about how every single one up to and including Break Out was consistently stellar. I guess I'm wrong.

Steppin is especially great, but there isn't an album of theirs without several tracks I'd skip.

I think I undervalued Contact in the past. "Hey You" totally blew my mind earlier today.

EE’s SO SHY
What a great thread.
My first funk record and my favorite was "Yes We Can Can".
After that, every record had to sound like that.
The LP's have a lot of downers, but what are the bangers besides the hits?
I'll start: "Dare Me".
