    The fact that the Pointer sisters did the pinball song on Seesame Street pushes them over the edge for me.

    For my money Labelle although doing the occasional wedding playing Lady Marmalade does do my head in, but is a neccessary evil(along with Celebration,we are family etc)b,121b,121Space children is a kinda cool but forgotten track from that Lpb,121IMHO Moonshadow is by far their best track thoughb,121b,121The Pointer Sisters for me dont have many tracks that I can really dig though i am partial to "Automatic"

    I really want to know why the Pointers chose to stay in the 30's/40's musical mode for their first 3 albums? They didnt take off until Richard Perry produced them.b,121b,121The Live at the Opera double LP is hard to sit thru unless ur geared up to stay in that sound.b,121b,121Kid Creole would successfully do this later. Or what ever that Savannah Band shit.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Why ask why? That was just what they did, no one twisted their arms. That was their thing, you know? That's sorta like asking why the first three Funkadelic albums could pass for heavy metal - that was their "mode," as you say...b,121b,121I'm no big fan of theirs, but the Pointers were versatile, and those Blue Thumb recordings did go out of their way to show that they were more eclectic than the typical post-Supremes female soul act. In 1975, they even won a Grammy in one of the country categories for "Fairytale."b,121b,121/font1

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Not true. They were already hitmakers by the time Perry got to them. It didn't hurt that they kinda coincided with a '30s/'40s nostalgia wave - both the self-titled and That's A Plenty albums went gold, and they were the biggest-selling Blue Thumb artists ever. All Perry did was retool the act.

It seems the Pointers tried/did it and just dropped it for a more contemporary steez w/out any carryover. Shit, they went for some Rock before He's So Shy.b,121b,121I can hear the connections between Tales of Kidd Funkadelic and Maggotbrain.b,121b,121 img src="http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/30713.jpg"1
