Whenever I have a bad day I watch this video. I imagine being in that tiny club in NC only to be world famous a couple years later. They blew up in the 80s. They sang different genres and they had something for everyone. I think they're awesome!
Love ❤️ this video, Anita gets the crowd going with her beautiful voice, love ❤️ this song 🎶.🥰. These ladies are fantastic, love ❤️ all of them. I could listen to them all day and night.🥰
@@sherryboulden5013 Hey! That's very good to know, I just can't stop myself from listening to this song anytime am alone, if I may ask which of all their songs is your favorite? Have a great day... Stay Safe
Were you the guy in the yellow sweater and well coiffed hair? LOL! The Pointer Sisters just posted this concert in FULL a few days ago. I always wanted to see it and now everyone can watch it as it happened. What a wonderful concert it was?!?!
No that wasn't me. I was about four persons down from yellow sweater. When the concert aired on PBS, I looked for myself was just out of camera angle. It's kind of funny because everybody keeps commenting on the energy the audience had. While it was an excellent concert, the truth is the producers of the show told us before they started taping that they wanted us to have a lot of energy. They stressed that they wanted a lot of energy from the audience.. and I swear to you--- when the audience interrupts The Pointer Sisters when they are singing " Fire" I can remember thinking "we're doing a little too much".😂🤣🤣😂
@@rwlowe6177 Ha ha! I love inside stories. I know what you are describing. I've been to a few taping(s) and the camera guys, producers out of view are usually instructing us to clap, shout, whatever. But why was it so hot in there for February, wasn't there air conditioning? Also, the guy who introduced the Sisters, was he the owner of the Attic? I thought it was taped for CBS instead of PBS. Since the full concert was posted, I have watched it several times.:-)
Another inside, I want to say the tickets were $10. We were shocked that the taping would be done at the Attic because it was known as a hard Acid Rock club. And their logo was a noose (Google it). I'm not saying it was racial, but I had been in Greenville for four years and I had never stepped foot in that club before that taping. The Noose had been the topic of discussion so it was really strange to see so many black people in the Attic. We (black students) went to a club around the corner called The Jolly Rodger-- where disco was King.
As a 62 year old White male. I loved this song when it came out way back when. But seeing this video for the first time. I really love the Pointer Sisters now!!!!! They are 1 class act!!!!!!
No twerking, no cursing, no autotune, no 100 backup dancers. Just pure, natural talent, charisma, and communication with the audience. It was all there for these wonderful ladies.
It's just the other side of the 70s and they're women, black, and black women. Wearing tight, skimpy dresses, and gyrating their hips slowly, is the twerking of the time. Acting like sexual stimulation isn't 90% of entertainment during that time is bs.
The harmonizing is perfect...each voice adding that special color and touch to a unity unmatched any where, any time, any group. Their sound and power is unique....forever.
Wow. The crowd is unreal. The energy is absolute... well... fire. Regrettably, I sometimes forget how much I loved them growing up so I'm glad to have things like this to remind me.
Electric. What a performance. Thanks for uploading, a rare opportunity to see them in the earlier stage of their career, smashing it. Love to the sisters, what a legacy they have left ❤
I was in 5th grade in 1979 when this song came out. We had a record player in our classroom and played this song all the time. Our favorite part was also the 'Romeo and Juliet / Samson and Delilah' part.
Rest in paradise,💐Anita Pointer.😢💔 Thank you for your work that helped create our childhood soundtrack.💫🕊️🌹 I’m So Excited is still one of the most amazing and uplifting songs that I’ve ever heard. Thank you so very much! Rest in peace.🌹🕯️
@@Iceis_Phoenix I didn't know about her death. While she leaves a void here on earth, she's reunited with her sisters and family in Heaven, where there's no more pain or tears. I can hear her singing "FIRE" in Heaven now 😎
Beautiful musik, Anita, your erotic voice, your charisma, your charm, your temperament , simply beautiful. simply intoxicating music from the Pointers Sisters.❤❤❤
My future brother-in-law, Greg, turned me on to the Pointer sisters, something I am so grateful for!!! I love you brother!!! Keep the music on 🔥 girls!!!!
Thank You Sisters For making This Song our Theam Song every time We Hopped into our Boy Friends Car! Wink! Wink! Rest In Eternal Peace In God's Arms Anita Pointer! Buddy Love Momma Lucy
You're right, and besides that, they are from Oakland California, the most underrated city in America. Go there and you'll never forget it, people are alright ,not like the rest of the state
R.I.P. Anita. Loved this group. Managed to see them in concert, where I think a niece took the place of one of the sisters who had passed away. Just Ruth is left. 😢
Oh my god---I loved this song soooo much when I was just a little kid back in the early '80s...but I never knew until right now in 2024 that it was the fabulously talented Pointer Sisters!!!
Damn it. I love June Pointer, the full set of teeth, just enhances her innocence, her slender figure, she's not over bosomy, gorgeous light paper bag brown complexion. My Diva Queen
i just came from a recommended video by littlemix...smh. I have turned into my parents 'what is this garbage these kids are listening to?' THIS is real music..Pointer Sisters defined the 80s with songs like 'Jump' 'Automatic" and 'Slow Hand' and my perennial favourite 'Happiness'
I got the pleasure to see them play at my Apple Computer Christmas Party in 85 or 86 in San Francisco. These women had it going on, so very talented, and their harmony is so over the top, can you imagine growing up in their house and music/singing going on. Simply Brilliant!
J'ai 72 ans j'habite en France J'adore les écouter, ca fait du bien et on passe une bonne journée Un coucou a tous ceux qui apprécient les pointers sistets partout dans le monde❤❤❤ Danièle
I live in Chicago, and when this originally came out WLS altered the song to say “When You Turn On WLS” instead of The Radio. That was such an incredible time to be alive. Oh, how I miss those simpler days…
Wow. They worked that crowd with sheer talent as sisters. Each one of them had their own unique vocal which blended well with each sister. Rip June and Anita
The 70s & 80s had the best Family Sister Groups. The Pointer Sisters,Sister Sledge, The Emotions, and The Jones Girls, All of them could sing and we are never going to see great performers such as the 70s & 80s ever again.
Glad they acknowledged Bruce as the writer…they do it superbly👏👏
Naked oowl.e0n
No Female group in R& B history had tighter harmony than the pointer sisters.
They the BOMB!!❤❤❤
Sibllings' vocal groups have a big advantage that way.
Whenever I have a bad day I watch this video. I imagine being in that tiny club in NC only to be world famous a couple years later. They blew up in the 80s. They sang different genres and they had something for everyone. I think they're awesome!
Is anybody else getting goosebumps awesome !!!!!

I love them so much as a kid , and still do❤
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.... Stay safe!

forgot about this song how great the pointer sisters are.
These ladies rule! Natural born singers and performers!
I just love how Ruth introduces the group!!!!
Me too
I love how June closes the show!!!
Me too,like how she introduce her sister.
They really were awesome. Loved them! ❤
they were fantastic
Nothing better than 70's through 90's music
72 YEAR OLD WHITE BOY, STILL LOVE THESE WOMAN. AMEN
Best harmonizing female group ever. Great voices.
Hi Thankyou .
Viva the pointer Sisters !
Groups just don't GET any better than that!!!
I think I’m on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

June was definitely the sexiest one!
@@supernath80 Hands down:-)
R.I.P. ANITA AND JUNE AND BONNIE POINTER AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THE OLDEST OF THE POINTER SISTER,RUTH WITH MORE DAYS OF LIFE.
Thanks to technology their talent lives on ❤️
Love these women❤
Bruce wrote this song originally for Elvis Presley but Elvis died, so he gave the song to the Pointer sisters
if Elvis had sung this,oh boy it would be explosion.
Elvis would have destroyed this song ,not his style
You’re wrong.
These ladies were classy, no swearing, no sexual displays,no twerking or any other non sense
As a 62 year old White male. I loved this song when it came out way back when. But seeing this video for the first time. I really love the Pointer Sisters now!!!!! They are 1 class act!!!!!!
Je haalt me de woorden uit de mond.

I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like The Pointer Sisters the pointers our love throughout the world they’re awesome
The Pointer Sisters are a great example of pure talent.
Make me proud to be an American
@@pango-y8jSo true. Well said . This is real American culture.
I still love the harmony of these beautiful ladies 40 years later.
❤️
They should be in the rock and roll hall of fame!
I don't care about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I know dats right, the hall of rock n roll soul hall of fame
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
but those noose's in back 🤐
@@Iceis_Phoenix odd choice
No twerking, no cursing, no autotune, no 100 backup dancers. Just pure, natural talent, charisma, and communication with the audience. It was all there for these wonderful ladies.
Ruth's granddaughter does twerking in their current performances, but she is adorable. Has a smile that reminds you of her Aunt Anita.
Twerking is ALWAYS embarassing! I adore these ladies!
I CAN'T STAND TWERKING !!!!! SO STUPID. Real talent doesn't need a Gimmick !
Rest.In.Peace.Anita.Pointer.God.Bless.You

Me too! She was the total package RIP Anita.
The harmonizing is perfect...each voice adding that special color and touch to a unity unmatched any where, any time, any group. Their sound and power is unique....forever.

Helps that they are family! Family creates a similar voice- look at The Jacksons or The Bee Gees!😊
@@rainbowstones5431and Tavares as well
Perfect alright
Wow. The crowd is unreal. The energy is absolute... well... fire.
Regrettably, I sometimes forget how much I loved them growing up so I'm glad to have things like this to remind me.
The pointer sisters,no 🧐 doubt,one most versatile, baddest divas,with voices,with sick 😷🤢 harmony,that rock 🪨 your world! 🌎
Rest well Anita. 1948-2022
so many todays "singers' cannot sing, helped with auto tune and what not, these women were born with a real gift, not to mention beautiful.
REAL through and through 🇺🇸🙏🏼❤️
A song written by Springsteen, for, believe it or not, Elvis. Who died before receiving the demo. The Pointer Sisters give it immortal justice.
RIP Anita Pointer.
Thanks for the music.🙏
Indeed.
Is that her on lead?
@ceeceetracey9839 yea she is
Your alwsys in my heart kis
My home town girls
Real music by real sisters, perfection.
Electric. What a performance. Thanks for uploading, a rare opportunity to see them in the earlier stage of their career, smashing it. Love to the sisters, what a legacy they have left ❤
If you cannot groove to this.... No Soul
70's will never be equaled.😊👍
I was in 5th grade in 1979 when this song came out. We had a record player in our classroom and played this song all the time. Our favorite part was also the 'Romeo and Juliet / Samson and Delilah' part.
Now tell me ... this is way way more sensual and sexy than whatever it is the people do now ... and 100% talent - no auto-tune, no lip-sync ...
Rest in paradise,💐Anita Pointer.😢💔 Thank you for your work that helped create our childhood soundtrack.💫🕊️🌹
I’m So Excited is still one of the most amazing and uplifting songs that I’ve ever heard. Thank you so very much! Rest in peace.🌹🕯️

Anita never looked more beautiful than she did here at this moment in time. Absolutely stunning!
This is the video that I fell in love with her about 2 months ago and now she is gone

Beautiful musik, Anita, your erotic voice, your charisma, your charm, your temperament , simply beautiful.
simply intoxicating music from the Pointers Sisters.❤❤❤
This song is FIRE!!! It's simply perfection!!
If course it is, it was written by The Boss and performed here to a standard that merits the song writing.
Notice the noose in the background... :(
My future brother-in-law, Greg, turned me on to the Pointer sisters, something I am so grateful for!!! I love you brother!!! Keep the music on 🔥 girls!!!!
Fire..it just gets your soul ...you just want to grab your man and kiss those lips

The days when people could sing and musicians could play ...all together all at once. We loved it

Hello Jennifer

Who could forget these beautiful, talented women. Some movie 🎬 producer should do a feature film on these iconic sister's. 🎉❤❤
........... beautiful black girls just oooozing with talent
“As if you weren’t hot enough. A little fire” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Makes me think of the good ole' days...
No wonder as a kid I love listening to them in the 80’s. They really are that good.
I remember dancing to the Pointer Sisters. So much fun! Loved the Attic and all the rich entertainment they provided. Still have an Attic tshirt
Riding in the car, first thing you did was turn the radio on. If Pointer Sisters were on you had it made. Love, Love, Love them😎😎😎😎
They never got the credit for being the fabulous group they were...one of the greatest 🙌
They new they were fabulous that's the most important thing 👏🏻💋
You're right, and besides that, they are from Oakland California, the most underrated city in America. Go there and you'll never forget it, people are alright ,not like the rest of the state
