Description:

Recording for a variety of labels, including Blue Thumb, Planet, and RCA, the Pointer Sisters had a string of notable hits in the late 1970s and early `80s, most of which are assembled here. At 14 tracks, this set doesn`t get into a whole lot of depth, but the essential commercial high points are represented with songs like their 1973 revival of Allen Toussaint`s "Yes We Can Can," Bruce Springsteen`s "Fire," "Automatic," "Neutron Dance," "Slow Hand," "I`m So Excited," "Dare Me," "He`s So Shy," and "Jump (For My Love)." A few things are missing, like "Everybody Is a Star," for instance, but most of the career high points are present, and the result is a pretty fair portrait of the commercial side of this exciting and versatile singing group. ~ Steve Leggett
