    This song was perfect for Mrs.Anita to sing the lead vocals. The Pointer Sisters can sing a song and they can make it their own 🎯💯.

      The wrong segment of the 80s at the wrong time. Great song now, just at the time Nu Shooz, Run DMC, and yes Aerosmith along side them were about to take over. A whole new world. Actually at this time, Mr Misters album Welcome to the Real World was owning it, and it's worth your attention now, just as it was then.

    What happened with Contact and its singles? They all should have been bigger hits on the charts. "Dare Me" should have made Top 5, "Freedom" should have reached the Top 10, "Twist My Arm" at least Top 20 and "Back In My Arms"...well, who knows. These were all great single choices. The stylist (s) used for the album, singles and videos ought to be commended. The sisters' look was so colorful, the hairstyles beautiful and unique for each sister, and spot on make-up and accessories.

      Richard Perry had sold Planet Records by the time "Contact" hit the charts in 85. The girls were basically transferred to RCA, and the label placed them on the back burner. Sales of Hot Together, Anita's Love For What It Is, and Serious Slammin' dwindled with each of those albums.

    This is a silly, fluffy, fun and bouncy 80s song that would be a fail with any other set of vocalists. But sung by TPS it makes the song enjoyable and infectious.

    ....Then, I was REALLY 'screaming', when it BOMBED! ...like, B-O-M-B-E-D!! You see, kids, POP Radio stations didn't want to play the song, because they thought it promoted domestic abuse!! ...like, they REALLY thought Anita was asking for her arm to be 'twisted'! ....RIDICULOUS!
    ...and, at the time it was released, Madonna released "Live To Tell"....that was IT, OVER! ...no hit for 'Twist My Arm'! ...BUT, I do take solace in watching Anita push Bobcat back down, while she's holding her note, at 2:13, Ruth jigglin' her boobs at 3:14, & June surfin' at 0:29!! ...ha-HAAA!! #JusticeforTwistMyArm

    • @kathymailler
      @kathymailler 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don’t think this would have been in June’s wheelhouse. The sisters always chose wisely with leads of their songs. June could sing the daylights out of any song but they could listen to Demo tapes and knew who could put that song on the charts. Look at Automatic where their producers couldn’t figure out how to get a low octave voice for the song. They were like “hello? We got this!”
      If they could have down their own producing line artists today do, so many of the songs I’ve come to love from their albums would have gotten the much needed air play. Anita has said how much today’s streaming music would have been such an asset to them
      This song was right for Anita singing lead
