History

The Pointer Sisters formed in Oakland, California, in 1969, when sisters June and Bonnie Pointer began singing together in clubs. Anita joined to make a trio, and Ruth completed the classic quartet lineup in December 1972. Signed to Blue Thumb Records, the group mixed jazz, R&B, and pop with an unexpected country turn: their 1974 single "Fairytale," written by Anita and Bonnie, made them the first Black group to perform at the Grand Ole Opry and won a Grammy Award, with Elvis Presley later covering the song. After Bonnie left for a solo career in 1977, the remaining trio signed with producer Richard Perry's Planet Records and shifted toward electronic pop and dance, scoring top-10 hits including "Fire" (written by Bruce Springsteen), "He's So Shy," "Slow Hand," "I'm So Excited," "Automatic," and "Jump (For My Love)." The group amassed 13 US top-20 hits between 1973 and 1987, three Grammy Awards, and a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 1994, with career sales estimated around 40 million records.
