When I hear Ruth Pointer speak on the history of this legendary group, its like listening to advice and direction form a Big Sister Friend who keeps it real and so genuine and protective of her family. God Bless You Ruth Pointer and all your life lessons shared with us!
I loved/love the Pointer Sisters. I grew up with them, still play some of their music to this day. I met them for :02 sec at Disneyland, after they played on the island (coming off the raft,) at my Disney High School Grad Night. June was so shy, she practically hid. Anita was all smiles, and Ruth too-but more serious, in the moment. I will never forget it. "Special Things," is a song from that night that will always live in my heart and memory of my youth. Thank you, sincerely.
Ruth, God Bless you and your sisters . For me, your best performance is the 1996 A Gospel Christmas with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and All Altlanta Chorus. I still have that performance on VHS. Would love for this interview to be released on dvd or live streamed
Its ironic that in this interview, she talks of all her sisters in past tense not knowing that those words would come true with the last of her 3 sisters dying before 2023.😔
