RIP Anita, Bonnie and June Pointer. I fell in love with the heavenly voices and great music as young 8 year old growing up on Chicago's west side with 'I'm So Excited', 'Jump' and 'Neutron Dance'. I know they were doing their thing long before that early to mid 80s period. But that's when I became aware of them. God bless their souls.

Ruth Pointer and Barry Gibb have very eerie similarities. Both were the oldest siblings with three younger siblings of the same gender also in music. All of the younger siblings died sooner (with the youngest dying the soonest in each case, June and Andy), with the oldest sibling outliving ALL three of the younger siblings. Ironically, the deepest voiced woman and the highest-pitched falsetto man have so many other similarities. Truly eerie, like a yin-yang of sorts. Ruth Pointer and Barry Gibb should do duets, in the form of joint tributes to all the younger siblings that have passed.

Looks like I"m the only one here who's going to point out Jada Pointer (Anita's Daughter) at 1:30 who's holding the granddaughter. She passed away 2 years before June also due to cancer. RIP.
@orane35494 жыл бұрын
Jada died 2003 and June in 2006. Sarah Pointer died 2000. It was a string of deaths for the Pointer family of their loved ones, unfortunately. It took its toll on Anita as she wrote in her new book Fairytale! Baby Roxie was who kept her going. She now plays a prominent roll in her grandmother's and aunt Bonnie's life. God bless them! Miss June:-(

@Iceman 23 Can you believe it? And suddenly too! They were able to say their goodbyes to June, but sadly, not to Bonnie. With Ruth living in Boston area and June gone, Anita and Bonnie had gotten very close, they were each other's best friend and they had just recorded that beautiful song, "Feels Like June" as a tribute to June. Therefore, I am feeling sad for Anita, knowing that another loved one has been snatched from her again.:-(
