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.
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!!!!!!
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!!!
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
@@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 😎
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…
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.
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
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.
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!!!!
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.
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
Reminds me of the talent of Al Green He was on stage with out all the additional back up dancers and whatever else Love to hear them sing “Jump” Put me in a good mood driving to work and heard it on the radio
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 band's 30-second pause at 3:30 is brilliant: the longer the pause, the more the contrast between harmony and emptiness drives the crowd wild then ...Romeo and Juliet and the fire starts up again.
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
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 ❤
Beautiful musik, Anita, your erotic voice, your charisma, your charm, your temperament , simply beautiful. simply intoxicating music from the Pointers Sisters.❤❤❤
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.🌹🕯️
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!
when she started singing i just got goose bumps all over my body. Not only was this HUGE when it was out (and I was just a kid) but the memories of better times are huge.
So I am a younger (recent) audience of the Pointer Sisters. Even just heard the song from Walmart radio. But damn is this song captivating!! 3:28 only proves this more. That sustain at "cool" was so agonizingly marvelous that they got the everyone in their palms, begging...and so was I
It don't get any better than this! A few sisters who are of a very sensual nature who got harmony and have the voices and harmony, totally awsome! Joey said that!
These ladies were classy, no swearing, no sexual displays,no twerking or any other non sense
Just badass talent❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this was '81,so.....nobody was twerking or swearing on records
these girls kick bruces song but bruce covers dylans chimes of freedom like no other
Think we already covered that 5 years ago in another comment of same nature. 😂 Seen above yours.😂
Rest in eternal rhythm Anita.
❤
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.

Thanks to technology their talent lives on ❤️
Love these women❤
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

I’m from the mid fifty’s you young people don’t know what you missed till now!
Still listening. RIP June and Anita
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.
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

I still love the harmony of these beautiful ladies 40 years later.

RIP Anita, we ❤ love you.
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 👏🏻💋

The pointer sisters are fantastic
I agree they never did recognized as much as they should of . Having said that I have always enjoyed the, . They were so good .

Indeed.
Is that her on lead?
@ceeceetracey9839 yea she is
Your alwsys in my heart kis
My home town girls
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.
I loved the early 80’s! God bless you ladies.
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

I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like The Pointer Sisters the pointers our love throughout the world they’re awesome
What a privilege it is to have been born in this time and to have been able to experience this music. But I'm happy to be a little older.
No nasty lyrics, no twerking, no autotune... just three classy ladies!
Absolutely.
Agreed !
😊😊 on 0
Sol lol p😊
Some sexy singing loving it
And yet the lyrics were suggestive for that time period.
So glad I found this my absolutely favourite
RIP Anita. Man! Such a talented group of ladies.
RIP, Anita. Your talent, beauty, and passion will be missed.
Pure talent! Any one of them could be the lead singer. They are that good.
You so right "PURE TALENT"
The best
They all lead and have Grammy awards in each of there voices.
If you cannot groove to this.... No Soul
70's will never be equaled.😊👍
I hope you keep singing in heaven Anita.
Glad they acknowledged Bruce as the writer…they do it superbly👏👏

Real music by real sisters, perfection.
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
I saw them back in 1975, and their voices only got better over the years truly angelic God given talent with nothing but pure talent and class
Me too!
some people were born to sing. thank you pointer sisters.
True That!
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.

Hello Jennifer
How are you doing today?
I am 57 me too
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 🇺🇸🙏🏼❤️
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
She was sosososo unique
She was sosososo talented
I seen them at the Attic. Such beautiful voices. FIRE !! my favorite!!!
Makes me think of the good ole' days...
I’m crying tears of joy. I forgot how good this version is.
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
These women can sing and they can move. Thank you Bruce for giving th world this song.
Reminds me of the talent of Al Green
He was on stage with out all the additional back up dancers and whatever else
Love to hear them sing “Jump”
Put me in a good mood driving to work and heard it on the radio
these ladies … gorgeous, talented and they know how to entertain. Will always love them
The pointer sisters,no 🧐 doubt,one most versatile, baddest divas,with voices,with sick 😷🤢 harmony,that rock 🪨 your world! 🌎
Who could forget these beautiful, talented women. Some movie 🎬 producer should do a feature film on these iconic sister's. 🎉❤❤
1/1/2023 - from the SF Bay area - RIP - Anita - God Bless the family 🙏
RIP Anita Pointer.....Her voice was 🔥🔥🔥For me she was by far the best. The whole package.
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.
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😎😎😎😎
THIS is how you work an audience, true master class!
Pure talent, class, and attitude. Unreal.
These legends should be in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Looking at recent inductees, I would say the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does not deserve them.

Who’s here for the, passing of Bonnie ! R.I.P , thanks for the great music.
No use in me lying. After Bonnie passed I am here revisiting my crush on June Pointer.🤓

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 ...
Double Blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks for the sharing!
The pointer sisters have done as proud by singing this good song for sure they are very beautiful
Thank you Bruce.. pointers made this their own.
They sing with incredible passion. You have to love it.
This song transports me back in time when all was all right with the world. This music is stellar.
You must have missed a bunch of stuff, they aren't that old. And the world wasn't quite right when they were growing up.
The world was much better back then THAN NOW!!! Or the past 10 years. Where you been???!!!

These ladies are real entertainment, no auto tune, just pure natural singing soul sounds.
They were so good that even Elvis did one of their songs! Fairytale was both a top 40 and a country hit.
🎶Just the most lovely song- softer, but still powerful! RIP Anita🙏💖
The very epitome of class on display right there ladies and gentleman. I was blessed to see these special ladies twice in my lifetime...Thank God!
They were the best "Pointer Sister" that ever came out from the 80s. I love all of their music - terrific harmony and muisc performances!

Wow- how lucky can one get? You are lucky - and wished I had seemed them in person. Love their music from the start!
A song written by Springsteen, for, believe it or not, Elvis. Who died before receiving the demo. The Pointer Sisters give it immortal justice.
So beautiful. Brings back memories of when I was young ❤❤❤
The pointer sister are one the best female groups that are one of the top five greats
My favourite group for all time along with earth wind and fire
This is the song that I like the most, of all the songs that I have heard!!!
when she started singing i just got goose bumps all over my body. Not only was this HUGE when it was out (and I was just a kid) but the memories of better times are huge.
So underrated. I remember singing this song on my way to school on the 70's.
what a voice !!! incredible. It's pure talent and energy! Bravo!
This song was about the best ever during the disco era in the 70s. We all loved it. Thank you for the memories ladies.💯💯
This audience was on fire! What a performance! Amazing! Powerful Pointer Sisters!
Whos jamming in 2020? I love these ladies. Rip June you cutie.
Ruth, Anita and June Pointers, Bravo!
