Jul 26, 2008 - I believe this period was their first incarnation when they were doing standards. Check out their first albu, I blieve it was their first, they wore clothes similar to these. Notice there are four sisters, one would later leave-I believe it was Ruth although I am not sure.

Jul 26, 2008 - Thank you. Thank you. I requested this when I saw the Can Can video on YouTube. Thanks goodness somebody recorded this!
Raylene607 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Just an added comment. I saw them on my 16th b'day in '72. June still had braces on her teeth. Best concert ever. Talk about a rockin' 16. Press coverage the next day was the best ever. Locals loved them and they loved us back.

Jul 26, 2008 - These early Pointer Sisters videos are really fabulous! They were so damn good. I loved it when they had that funky '40s look too. Great stuff.

Jul 26, 2008 - One the most versatile vocal groups ever! Jazz. blues, country, R&B, country, rock and pop. I love their early stuff.

Jul 26, 2008 - these girls love to sing, they would go to church on you in a NY minute.. To me, their early stuff was the best stuff. So much versitility. After Bonnie left it was all mediocre from there......The just had raw talent, and it's hard to duplicate sister harmony......God Bless 'em

Jul 26, 2008 - Superb. This was the Pointer Sisters at their peak -- before they allowed themselves to get all blanded-out. And look what happened then.

Jul 26, 2008 - Hot. Brings me back.
dezinez Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - There should be a movie made about their lives.

Jul 26, 2008 - cats would say, play like it's your last gig
krekab6010 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - That is a great idea...got any ideas who could play them? I think Ruth would be the hardest one to cast. Can't think of anyone who could ,atch her voice, unless a nonsinging actress plays the part (or Ruth plays herself!) But Whitney Houston could play June
dezinez Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - That is a hard casting to pull off period. I think that visually I could see ... Whitney in the latter part of the movie, because they would have to show them go from young to old. I could see Fantasia, India Arie, Vivian Green, maybe Kelly Rowland (maybe), Erykah Badu, going out for the parts of the sisters because they have their body frame.Vocally you would need Angie Stone, Jill Scott, and some other Neo Soul singer that can hit the notes to perfection.
krekab6010 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I do agree if the movie is their life story, you would need to start with some younger actresses, but for the adult times I also kind of thought Mary J Blige might work (Bonnie?) or even Latoya London from American Idol (as Anita).
