Patti Andrews & Pointers Sisters (1974)

[@MikeScott-ez7iw]

I love seeing all 4 pointer sister's Kill this Classic these sisters can sing

[@1409mcintyre]

I saw the Pointer Sisters at the Holiday Star Theater in Indiana, they put on a hell of a show -

[@sheilamacdougal4874]

This is wonderful. The Pointer Sisters have arguably been the only harmonising vocal group sophisticated and talented enough to be worthy of the Andrews Sisters' legacy, and unquestionably the only sibling group. Marvelous to see them with Patty.

[@jhamaul-antoinegreatness1529]

This is legendary, a true passing of the torch. And The Pointer Sisters have not disappointed. They are by far the best "Girl Group" where all sisters sang front and had hits under their lead, No One save En Vogue and TLC and maybe the Spice Girls come close. I'm talking hits and longevity two solid decades of billboard chart topping hits, spanning genres And all members leading the group on hits.

[@phillycheez6288]

Well said..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤎🤎🤎🤎The Pointer Sisters are in a class by themselves! You had to have talent back n the day,and they oozed of it. Singing all genres of music, scatting in harmony, blended into 1 voice!😚🥰🤗got to give Bonnie the props because if it wasn't for her "The Black sheep.." the world would've never known these sisters! And they certainly didn't know what they had on the inside! Singers, songwriters..it was Bonnie's vision and the sisters gravitated to that one by one. 1st June,then Anita and finally Ruth. RIP June and Bonnie 💔🥀💔🥀🎼🎼🎼🎼

[@aarondigby5054]

The Pointer Sisters are better than TLC and En Vogue IMHO. I like the Andrews Sisters, the Carters, sister sledge

You will never find tighter harmonies than the Pointer Sisters

It's warm my heart to see all the Sisters singing together. Beautiful harmonies. Ruth,Bonnie Anita and June..Love you ladies. R.I.P June.

I loved the original Pointer Sisters...all of them. So great and so beautiful.... and the beautiful and talented Andrew Sisters!

[@rozchristopherson648]

They were all just brilliant. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@icecol22]

This is great!!! I was a young boy when the Pointer Sisters did their 1940s style of music and fashions in the early 1970s. I love them. I love The Andrews Sisters as well.This is a great musical segment. ❤❤

[@WPM_in_ATL]

The Sisters at their finest! (the Jazz era) So classy to see Patti Andrews introduce them & then all five sing the Andrews Sisters' big hit.

[@aarondigby5054]

The Andrews Sisters were really a talented group of Sisters who performed during the big war. The Pointer Sisters today.

[@Redboy4]

The ever talented Pointers Sisters once again proving they can sing anything.

[@thegoddessdiana9185]

I remember seeing this on TV back in '74. I recall Patti hand slapping the Pointer Sisters in turn on, "Bei mir bist du schön". The Pointers wore costumes that were reminiscent of the early '40's. This was the '70's when there was a heavy interest in the Interwar Era, its music, styles, dances, and surviving personalities. It's hard to believe that so much time has passed when you see those who're no longer here: George Burns, June Pointer, and Patti Andrews -- R.I.P.

[@orane3549]

And now sadly we have to add Bonnie Pointer to that list.:-(

[@JK-dp3lp]

I love the Andrews Sisters and the Pointer Sisters, I could watch Patti Andrews Dance all day!

[@MikeScott-ez7iw]

Wow The pointer sister's Are killing it Sing Sing Pointer Sisters

[@falldownhard]

When you combine versatility AND talent, among female (and even mixed) vocal groups the Pointer Sisters are truly in a class by themselves. Don't even mention Destiny's Child being remotely in the same league in my hearing. They've performed in the Grand Ole Opry AND the Apollo. I rest my case. This is just fantastic.

[@paulchandler9241]

You win your case. [gavel]

[@CJLinOHIO]

Agree !

[@aarondigby5054]

@@aarondigby5054 Yep. Pointers were the best girl group of the 70s ANNNNNND the 80s. That's two entire decades they owned. They're the best. Better than the Supremes, even.

Simply Beautiful i wasn’t born yet, i did not grow up with this music but thanks to the technology i can enjoy this classics now days!

[@willec7105]

Patty is not young here and she is amazing - In great shape, light as a feather on her feet, and the voice is still there. Integrating her with the Pointer Sisters was sheer genius. Delightful segment.

[@krisscanlon4051]

I got to say IMO this is the real Pointer Sisters when they were all over the map damn the 1980s...I mean everybody needs to eat but they're extremely progressive at this point just wonderful to the ears. Plus, when they did the funk, they brought it!

[@sandradavis4551]

They were such classy ladies. R.I.P. Anita, Bonnie and June.♥️♥️

[@Rodin99]

fun to see the pointer sisters when they were in their initial retro campy period....I got their autographs on their album at their appearance at Korvette's ...and saw Maxine and Patty on Broadway in Over Here.

[@akrenwinkle]

A wonderful department store. Just a memory now.

WONDERFUL!! LUV THE POINTER SISTERS AND THE ANDREW SISTERS!!!!!!!

[@charlesroberts3650]

Thank you Mr. DiFlorio for uploading this video, I had never seen it until now. America owes a debt of gratitude to African Americans for single handedly inventing the first(s) true, all American Art form(s). The Blues, Ragtime and most of all, JAZZ! The rest of America, knowing a good thing when they heard it, joined in and, all together, ROCKED THE WORLD! We heard The Pointer Sisters back in the 70's and they BLEW me and my rock 'n roll friends away. We started paying more attention to older music, including big band, later and earlier. The Pointers turned us on to The Andrew Sisters and Both versions of "Bugle Boy" Rocked our world. It is so good to see them perform together, it is making me cry for joy how we all can, not just get along, but Shine and Glow. It is a mutual Homage that this represents. If ANYONE doubts that Blacks are highly intelligent, for ONE thing, they can listen to some of the abstract, highly mathematical genres of Jazz, including "Cool" Jazz, blow their little minds AWAY.God bless us and God bless America. BTW I am not Black.

[@loveblind]

Historically fantastic!!!

[@alextepe4309]

This was a great number. Many thought that Patti would hog too much of the limelight, but she had the strongest voice of the 3 sisters and was arguably the prettiest.

The Pointer sisters loved the Andrew sisters style of music and if they could they would have sang that style of music their whole career, but the era of music wouldn't allow them too.

[@richwagar]

I was watching KZbin when the song Fire Came on. I looked at the tag line for the first time I guess. It said the pointer sisters. The Pointer sisters work group I watch with my parents. I’m sure they were called the pointer sisters. So I checked it out. Just as I remembered. With Patty Andrews and George Burns. I even remembered George Burns opening dialogue.They have to be related. So I’m doing the 411.

Oh my gosh where did you find this Jewel that is so awesome those two legendary acts together but please tell me who is the monster on the drums

[@hebneh]

The Broadway appearance that George Burns mentions in the introduction was only Patty and Maxene, because the third sister Laverne had died by then. During the run, Patty suddenly walked off the stage literally in the midst of a performance and left Maxene and her understudy to finish the show. She never spoke to Maxene again after that - a very strange ending to their career.

[@marjoryrainey73]

Why?

[@hebneh]

@@marjoryrainey73 I never read any explanation for this, so I presume Patty never said what her reason was.
