Sunday's Flashback

The Pointer Sisters were one of the most exciting groups of the 70's and 80's. I always thought they were just the bomb. I remember when all four of them were together and then when Bonnie went solo Ruth, Anita, and June regrouped as a trio and began turning out some of the biggest hits of the next decade.

In 1983 they released what would become the biggest hit LP of their entire career. Break Out was a masterpiece and it contained four top ten hits. Jump has got to be one of the most thrilling hits of all time. It rose to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained on the charts for months.
