The
Pointer
Sisters (who
REALLY were
sisters) were
the daughters
of a preacher
in Oakland,
California.
They began
singing in the
1960’s, but
burst into
national
prominence in
the early
70’s.
Their
clothing was a
throwback to
the 40’s, and
their musical
style was as
wide as their
Cinemascope
smiles.
They sang a
little bit of
everything:
r&b, pop,
rock, country,
blues,
jazz.
And they sang
them all with
polish and
panache.
