The Pointer Sisters are an amazing band. Have a listen to the tracks here and you'll hear the most diverse group in the history of music. It may not have all the hits, but this cd does a good job of showing what an amazing talent they are. Most of the groups Blue Thumb hits are here along with later highlights. If all you know is I'm So Excited... Listen up!

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

I wasn't sure how I would take to this collection due to the omissions of most of the songs that made the Pointer Sisters dance divas of the 1980's. But many folks have forgotten, or were too young at the time to realize that the Pointer Sisters had another decade of hits before the one most remembered. This compilation focuses on much of their early material, as a quartet before sister Bonnie left for a solo career. And the two songs Bonnie was most noted for as a solo artist conclude this collection. Also included are great funk/r&b gems that the Pointers made fab during the 70's like "How Long," "Going Down Slowly," "You Gotta Believe," and "Yes We Can Can." The funk grooves are serious and the gospel flavor in all four voices allow the sisters to make their voices sound like they're adding a new instrument to complete a song. A fantastic compilation awaits here and for those who loved the Pointer Sisterts throughout the 80's, as I did, I encourage you to study how it all began because you'll find how they've always had a wealth of talent combined with a superb musical philosophy.
