I have loved Ruth since I was 15 years old in 1973.

I know every word to that song and I haven't heard it since it first came out.

[@OCRATHLETE]

That is our true only regret that the Pointer Sisters never released a full Gospel or Christmas album.... fortunately we have their performance From the 1996 PBS Concert, A Gospel Christmas where there performance included Gospel and Christmas songs. I still wished PBS would release this on CD/dvd

But she just said they were not "gospel" singers - not from that tradition.

[@rogueleader1988]

@@orionsecret but whenever you hear, especially when Ruth leads or backs up the sisters, her Gospel flare comes out purely with no effort

[@jonldn]

@@orionsecretshe said they were not traditional gospel singers. Not that they weren’t gospel singers

This was awesome!

Linda Martell was first solo female, black on the Opry in the 70's.

Ruth needs to link up some directors and writers and start putting together a biopic/documentary

She's a great storyteller reminiscent of Judy Garland. They may not all be technically true but they are certainly entertaining. 😂
