The Pointer Sisters
Multiple Grammy Award and American Music Award winners, The Pointer Sisters began their formal vocal training in their father’s church, The Church of God in West Oakland, California. They went on to achieve worldwide fame and have secured a place in pop music history as a dynamic female group! Their first performance in Los Angeles at the Troubadour club was hailed by critics for its versatility and range and called The Pointer Sisters “the most exciting thing to hit show business in years.” Their 1973 debut album gave us the singles, “Yes We Can, Can,” which reached #11 on Billboard magazine’s pop singles chart. The sisters became the first black female group to ever perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee as well as the first contemporary act to perform at the San Francisco Opera House and released a live recording of the performance. In 1994 the ladies receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an event proclaimed “Pointer Sisters Day” in Hollywood.
Best known for their sassy, brassy, up-tempo hits including “Jump” (for my love), “I’m So Excited” and “Neutron Dance”, get ready to dance the night away! In recent years, the group has performed with some of the greatest symphony orchestras in the world, including San Francisco, Jacksonville, Atlanta’s symphony orchestra and the renowned Boston Pops. They were a smash hit at Night of the Proms, which spanned over 50 sold-out performances throughout Germany, Holland and Belgium, and have secured the group many more successful tours in Europe. In 2004, the group recorded a live CD/DVD, which captured the energetic Pointers performing the hits that fans of all ages continue to enjoy! Ruth, Issa and Sadako maintain a busy touring schedule and perform the music of The Pointer Sisters all over the world.
