    Her sister Ruth sang lead on that one though

    I was quite fond of them during their most successful period, the early 80s. And June was the cute one IMO. Sad to see that she had a troubled life and an early death

    One the guys at work said watching their video, "I'm so Excited" would just wear him out. Anita was his favorite one of the band.

    My fave Pointer Sister song is the early 70s countryish "Fairy Tales"

    When they appeared on shows like "Solid Gold", June was wearing braces on her teeth (the old kind...the metal ones) and it always looked like she was self-conscious about them. Like she would smile and then remember that the braces were there and would then quick try to close her mouth.

    I'm sorry her life ended badly. The Pointer Sisters were unique and talented performers.

    Just read that June and her sisters did backing vocals for Boz Scaggs and grace Slick before they were anybody. Wow I have a newfound respect for The Pointer Sisters now
