Anita Pointer of 'The Pointer Sisters' dies at 74

THE POINTER SISTERS originally consisted of Ruth, Anita, June and Bonnie Pointer. Ruth is now the only living member of the group who won 3 Grammys and 3 American Music Awards. They also received a Hollywood Star on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame" (1994). 

June (2006) and Bonnie (2020) have passed on. Now, Anita (2022) has left us at age 74. They were outrageous with their live stage performances backed by smooth vocal harmonies. Check them out on YouTube. You won't be disappointed.

Below is the group's most popular song, "I'm So Excited" that was released twice as a pop single. Anita has the lead vocals with "The Pointer Sisters" on the TV show "Solid Gold."  

Below is my favorite song from "The Pointer Sisters" called, "Slow Hand." Anita has the lead vocals. They just don't make music like this anymore. RIP Anita....
