The Pointer Sisters



The Pointer Sisters are a famous R&B group whose members originally included Ruth Pointer (b.1946), Anita Pointer (b. 1948), Bonnie Pointer (b. 1951) and June Pointer (b. 1953). The group found their greatest success as a trio after their sister Bonnie left to persue a solo career. Their hits included "Automatic," "Jump (For My Love)," and "I'm So Excited."

The Pointer Sisters recorded the music for the popular Pinball Number Count cartoon on Sesame Street.

Their song "Yes, We Can Can" appeared on the 1979 album The Stars Come Out on Sesame Street.

They are parodied with a trio of singing pigs called The Oinker Sisters.

In 1982, they appeared with Jim Henson at the Night of 100 Stars.
