Lionel Richie collaborated w Orrin Hatch on getting Dallas Austin sprung from prison in Dubai a couple of years ago. That's much more interesting than any of his music ever was.
Pointers were as much of a rock/pop group than a soul group.
YWCC was #12 r&b and 11 pope
How Long Bethca Got A Chick On The Side #1 r&b 20 pop
He's so Shy 10r&b 3 pop (I don't even remember that one.)
Slow Hand 7 r&b 2 pop
Automatic 2 r&b 5 pop
Jump 3 r&b 3 pop (Van Halen had a song called jump on the charts at the same time, and Aretha had Jump To It a few years earlier.)
Mostly they were a quirky hard to categorize group that struggled to find a place on radio and in the record stores.
ill have to disagree. they were prominant video artists during. the 80s. and could harmonize like a mofo..
ill agree that they werent a classic black girl group coming outta the late 60s steez. they hung around until new jack swing took over.

What are we disagreeing about? That I didn't mention mtv? Or did I say they couldn't sing?

Long about 1974, he was The Man as far as prog-rock went.

For those of my age group (mid 30s) they were an 80s pop group (that was more popular than they were good).
I was surprised when I found out they did weird & good records in the 70s (and "The Number Song"!).
There's not much of their post-Blue Thumb output that I've ever been able to take seriously.
