- I met the sisters some years after this recording, when they visited Amsterdam. It was great fun and I took June and Ruth to a DiscoParty where they screamed when they first heard Ian Dury's-"Hit me with your rythmstick!!!", we cried laughing. Also they were awarded a "Platinum album" for "Energy", and gave a fantastic concert at the Carré theatre in Amsterdam, which later was broadcasted on Dutch national radio.
I'll always cherish those memories of having spent some time with these fantastic women, so full of fun and yet so real, Ruth the typical oldest sister (love her), Anita more reserved and alert, and June(bless her soul) the youngest, a few years older than myself, so open to new things and ready to eat the world.
It's good to see that so many of you outthere do love these sisters and aknowledge how enormously talented they are.
i don't know if i should order another drink or shout out a hallelujah, these ladies ROCK.... they took it to the brink during a REHEARSAL,, such wonderful talent and this song makes me want to dance and praise the lord at the same time and I don't mean that in a blasphemous way either... we are at such a LOSS without June and this original group... i LOVED their 80's work, as it was my time period but i am SOOOO happy finding these jazz sessions with the entire group. WOW WOW WOW WOW...
These sisters can literally sing ANYTHING...jazz, blues, soul, country, pop...doesn't matter!!!
Hi everybody, thanks for your comments, it,s great to know so many people love the sisters like I do.
Bonnie was the one who left first to sing solo.
They are THE Sisters all time all
We saw and enjoyed them immensely at Northrup auditorium (U of MN campus) in the early 70's. Such great talent and unique style. Can't think of any group that is anything like them.
These most talented gals, were my absolute favorite "girl group" of the 70's ... (actually i don't thnk the 70's was an era for 'girl group's ?? -- but these are some of my FAVORITE performers of that era. if I want my adrenalin to pump, the Pointer Sisters will do it EVERY time! Thank you much.
Holy Jesus this is incredible. The kazoo-saxophones are a riot. SING LADIES!
Hi Universuale.I'm coming late to the party (6 years in fact), but I was so inspired, I went to my vinyl collection- June's album is called "Baby Sister" 1983 on Planet records. Produced by Richard Perry. She did 2 Motown covers- "I'm Readuy for Love" & "Don't Mess w/Bill". Unfortunately It didnt leave much of an impression.
When I get my turntable running, (and when I learn how to post vids), I'll share it with you all.Glad to see so many fans, and I bow to you for finding & posting these gems.
I’m starting my day with this version of the best tune ever! They absolutely destroy(in a god way)🙏🙏❤️❤️✌️✌️
What can one say - the sisters rules - for all time!!!!
My wife grew up listening to early pointer sisters records and had always told me how good they are or were . Now I'm totally addicted to listening to them , I want to make every one I know sit down and listen and watch these early recordings PURE GENIUS !! Can any one tell me which one is which as they line up above please ? These girls were 2nd to non absolute dream to watch !! Thank you x
I cannot believe you have this and I love you so much for posting it! I fell in love as a little girl in '73 with my Mom's album (this one). Thank you thank you! i wish I could pay you for the joy of seeing these!
They also sang backup vocals on 1 of Taj Mahals early albums. Their sound was so distinct, I knew immediately it was them. Can't be beat.Too bad there's no one doing what they did & with such versatility. They are sorely missed. RIP sister June (you were my favorite- mostly because of the braces & I could hit all your parts... before my voice changed. hahah). Thanx for the post.Does anyone have the Carol Burnett show where they did the Ellington medley (sitting on stools w/Carol singing too)???
Those Kazoo Saxophones are so cool,
I WANT ONE!!!
OK so its Ruth Anita Bonnie and June on the far left , Right? Still listening to this on a daily basis pure genius !!
Thanks so much for posting these. They were great days. And they were so talented. I think I wore out my 'Live at SF Opera House' album....
call me old-fashioned, as I know there are alot of female singers out today that are really popular and such, but for my money, these ladies can't be touched in terms of voices, stage presence, style, and sexiness..I saw them a number of times here in the Bay Area and they always brought the house down..Talented like nobody's business, and damn fine to look at too. A deadly combination..
Only sisters can do that! Amazing!
This is definitely the rawest version they did of Wang Dang Doodle! The album recording is a bit more country rock but this is hard funk!
Jesus. Gotta love the Pointers. I mean, love the Koko Taylor version but this is something else, superb...
What a great fun !
No one could touch them singing wise or performing wise..
Saw the Pointer Sisters at Shrine Auditorium . Haven't been the same since.
your thoughts are right. It was written by willie dixon and recorded 1st by howlin wolf 5 yrs prior to koko's version in 1965 which went to #4 and was a million seller.
Whew! That was amazing!
great performance
AMAZING!
From left to right Ruth,Bonnie,Anita,& June.
They are doing there thang!
awesome!
Rest in peace Bonnie!
The Sisters!!!
eccezziunale!
I love this video, Wnag Dang Doodle was the first Pointer Sisters song I ever hear, and still my favorite, except maybe How Long (Betch got a chick on the side).
Thanks
This is good....the Howlin' Wolf version is definitive.
Hot. Brings me back.
super, wish
they were still performing, or are they?????
i hear what you say. maybe it's better that way. thought i'd pass this way and have a laugh today. ( =
The handkerchiefs are there to wipe of sweat and give a feel of church on a sunday, hahaha, no seriously, it just was part of them on stage I guess, I never asked them.
freebird 1969? I'm wondering about your comment Cold Blood originally performing this song. I had the understanding this was KoKo Taylor's song and she is the one that made it famous way way back in the day.
Fricking AWESOME!!! Anybody know if this is the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils backing? Some self-appointed "Dean Of American music critics" named Christau gives this a B-. What a wanker, the Pointers were so great. There's a clip of them from '71 on Wolfgang's Vault doing "You Got Me Humming" which is pretty hot, too.
When and where is this from? AMAZING!!!!!
One the most versatile vocal groups ever! Jazz. blues, country, R&B, country, rock and pop. I love their early stuff.
Thanks for the reply now I'm going to sound thick but their left to right or ours only I thought Ruth was the tall one ?? Thanks again x
originally performed by Cold Blood...I know the audio is on a k-tel comp....
Where can I find "You Got Me Humming"
Is it just as hot as this clip ?
Not a fan of their earlier style, but it was interesting to see this.
Thanks everyone for your comments, glad to know there are still real music lovers outthere.
It breaks my heart to read that June died broke, wow that really hurt me badly!
Why don't I like todays female vocalists, because they're all plastic and sing alike, they yodle like swiss alp dwellers, all of them, so boring really!
Well alright!!!!
Anyone got any video/DVD of these concerts?
Just read another of Anita’s obituaries and it talked about how the sisters “learned to sing in the church.”
Well, if you insist. But they didn’t learn this song in any church 😂
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
@newguitarchick - Willies version get played at 33 rpm, this one at 45rpm. (heehee)
I have no idea who could play Ruth. You would have to find a female who could sing incredibly low, and who could sing deep at the same time lol She would definitely be the hardest sister to cast, just because alot of female singers can't hit the low notes she can.
I L-o-v-e em!!!! ;-)
ouuu yeaaaah :)
funkiest use of kazoos in history.
@gloryboundkev
They call that "scat." Like Ella Fitzgerald was famous for doing.
MAN AND THAT WAS JUST REHEARSAL??
Was they betty davis vocal ??
yeah, it's kinda cheesy today, but back then, @ their live show, we were hootin' and hollerin'
Yes Ruth is the tall one ;)
I Just LOVED that sexy bucktoothed woman(June)
I ment June far right , Right ? doh
fuh-unky
Find a friend take'm to the polls. Get out and vote, Then lets nominate the Pointer Sisters to be the opening act for the OBAMA-BIDEN INAUGURAL CELEBRATION!
bkeitel
Now that's singing ☺️☺️☺️☺️ RIP Anita Pointer! Gone Too Soon! But Never Forgotten ❤️❤️❤️❤️
love love love these sisters! thanks for this great performance.
I stand corrected..You've Got Me Humming was originally a Sam and Dave tune, written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter in 1967, covered by Cold Blood in 1969.
Now this I don't have on video/dvd and would love to. Bonnie (in the gold) is and always was my absolute favorite. Then Ruth (the tallest on the left) comes right after for me.
I love them...especially when it was the FOUR of them!!! These sisters can sing!!! And not just 1 or 2 of them...ALL of them!!! RIP June.
omg toy saxaphones!!!! We are talking precisely the right amount of "tounge in cheek"....Goddammit this makes me proud to be American!!
Absolutely Priceless!💕💯
June was so adorable...RIP
Also June (bless her soul) made an attempt with a solo album of which I forgot the title.
It was a funky, rocky, experiment with some popular covers and a disco track if I remember well.
I'll try and find it again in my old record collection. Come to think of it I'd love to hear it right now.
Pointer Sisters forever!!!
Baby Sister?
June Pointer has two solo albums. Baby Sister (1983). Self title(1989)

bueno video universuale!...
como pasan los a~os!..
I joint see the video.
thanks you.
Isn't it wonderfull. Lister to the operahouse concert. Even better!
There should be a movie made about their lives.
Anita just gives me chills....oh my...
Geez... what a performance! Love em.
fantastic!!
ALRIGHT !! THX!!
sorry sisters but i missed your concert in '73 in Rotterdam ...I went to Frank Zappa earlier that afternoon at the same venue.
in those days we had too many choices ay : )
at least you're still around (or at least I hope so ; unlike ol'd Franky)
@mrborges73 Yes, they sang backup for Betty Davis for sure on her debut album, though I'm not sure about the other albums. You can hear them the best individually on the song "Game is my Middle Name"
From left to right:
Ruth - Anita - Bonnie - June
Ruth has the low voice
Anita has her hair up with a flower
Bonnie has the long fall wig on
June has the afro with the feathery dress sleeves

Sweetie you better stick to JSS&M.Carey, and leave the real stuff alone!
Don't worry about tongues which you can't speak or comprehend.
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.
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).
Brilliant! Does anyone know if any videos are available of the Pointers when they were a quartet - or even a collection of these shows?
Ruth Bonnie Anita and June...in that order in the lineup..Bonnie went solo later with "Heaven must have sent you"
Oh I get it... they're Pentecostals! I Love ya girls!!
having fun
Mongo76. Thanks for the info.
talented to the gills........
