The Pointer Sisters Live- Happiness & Automatic

[@rodneylamont3811]

Miss June so much

[@ajedbey-el5846]

Truly Missing June in these songs... But I am certain they miss her so much more! Still a loyal fan after 40+ years! They look and sound #Awesome 💞🌹🌹🌹

[@ariesmichaelsayan4013]

I still can’t believe June has been gone for almost 20 years

[@reneegonzales3757]

That guitar is so funky I can smell it thru the video😍😍😍😍😍

[@yell0wberry]

Happiness sounds like such a masterful track in the movie Donnie Brasco

[@lukefender2394]

Dude, the pointer sisters still have a great show, they are charming & they take pride in their performance,, sorry to say, but so many older Artist are not singing live, or many look like they just rolled out of bed before they hit the stage & that's when it's time to hang it up, the Pointer's deserve more attention as a mainstream act cause they have so many hits & are still going strong, they were on radio in 80's all the time when I was a kid & that's back when the radio played good music.

[@nomedigaasi]

After all these years--these lovely ladies still kick butts!

[@orane3549]

Ruth is attempting to bring the Energy missing without June by tearing into a gospel sound. I don't like it here.

You all have to remember their background is gospel! It’s their roots they are PK kids.

[@puddingpop3073]

They sound phenomenal, this sound better than the recorded version,

[@JimJones-xv6kk]

just saw them at the Atlanta Pride celebration! I have been a fan since yes we can and Ruth looks amazing!!!Utterly in love still!

[@silverback808]

[@joancollins54]

reminds me running around STUDIO 54 with a magnolia branch in my mouth. lol They didn't have roses that night. lol love this song no matter who sings it!

[@superblue2983]

"Hapiness" (1978) the song was performed live in the 1997 film "Donnie Brasco".

Ruth's voice tho. Wow. I don't know what is sweeter the low register or high

Tão lindas nesse chou.a banda também é muito boa

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Trying to find some of the last appearances June made with the sister. It was in 2004 they had let her go.

[@orane3549]

I thought June left on her own the second time due to her legal troubles. Previously, they let her go to get treatment for her addiction, but it is difficult to know the real story when you are reading it from different sources. This is why I can't wait for the book written by siblings Anita and Fritz. I think there will be clarity, accuracy and fairness coming from them. Anita and Fritz, please do not miss the next deadline, I've been hanging on since last year (2018). LOL!

[@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@@orane3549 Good Evening Their book was finally released this summer. I got a copy and it's a great book

[@orane3549]

@@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA "Fairytale" written by Anita and Fritz Pointer was released in the winter, February 11, 2020 I believe. The day it was released I was in Barnes and Noble to get my copy, I have read Anita's book or parts of it at least 20 times already and love it. It was worth waiting for, after a release delay of more than a year. Mostly, I like how Anita portrayed June.

[@charlesennis4999]

I miss June

[@cerati900]

LOve it !!

[@queunlimited4779]

??? She's not the sister that originally sang Happiness.

[@phillycheez6288]

Ruth??! Hell noo. Baby sister June sang it. May she Rip😔💔🥀Happiness originally came out in 78-79'. Gotta look it up to hear how it was 1st recorded.

[@skybright1000]

still entertaining

[@ambrosiaamore7381]

Nope and nope - not the same without June the Baby Sister - RIP June!

[@orane3549]

Ha ha ha! I thought I was the only one who felt that way. No way can Ruth do it justice. This song screams out for Baby Sister June's voice. It is just not the same without her. I think people attend their concerts now for nostalgic reasons. The music never gets old, it still keeps you tapping your feet, but their voices? That's a different story.

[@drwakeup2407]

I like June too. But Ruth always sang lead on automatic. June was the lead singer for the Pointers. So I understand the void. I'm happy the remaining sisters still perform.

[@orane3549]

@@drwakeup2407 There is only one of the four Sisters who still perform. The original two have died unfortunately and one Sister retired five years ago. The current group consists of the eldest Sister and her daughter and grand daughter. June was never *THE LEAD SINGER,* they all sang lead at times.

[@gjnoto1]

Well she dead ,what can u do?Alot of groups have members that leave,retire or die.Dont like it ,move on.Cant please everyone!

[@MrBxbreezy]

Is the one from the far left a replacement? The original sister from the left was shorter slimmer and way younger looking...

[@derrickcrawford6235]

Randy Blü That's Ruth's daugther.

[@LilJohn2k11]

Randy Blü yes, June Pointer lead singer of songs like “Jump” and “Dare Me” passed away in 2006. Her replacement is Ruth’s daughter!

[@orane3549]

@@LilJohn2k11 Ruth actually replaced June with her daughter long before June died. You can read it in her book.

[@triadafillos1]

I luv the Pointer sisters and their gifted music, but not with their daughters and nieces in the formation

[@jmattjack]

Pointer Sisters are awesome in any configuration - and the niece came in because one sister died early 50’s from cancer and a granddaughter came in when another sister became too ill to perform. So yah not the original group but ...would t you rather perform and travel with your family rather than try and please every fan ?

[@triadafillos1]

@@jmattjack I do not agree with you, this latest formation does not really have much in common with the original Pointer Sisters. They look different, they dance different and most of all, they sing different. Even Ruth can not save this

[@orane3549]

@@triadafillos1 I totally agree. This is not the entertainment group who happened to be sisters with the best harmony on the planet. It is now a group of family members making a living, by singing the Pointer Sisters old hits.

The other performances with Ruth's daugther & grand daughter are better.Anyway to each their own.

[@phillycheez6288]

@@triadafillos1 ...💯💯💯 it should be renamed "The Pointers" not the sisters...it's only one sis with her daughter/granddaughter. Their harmonies don't blend tight like the sisters did,making it sound like one. That's hard feat in itself. And Ruth low register cannot sing Anita or June's leads! Period. Point blank. I said what I said! They only sound passing on the songs Ruth actually led.🤷🏾‍♀️

for happiness its anita, ruth and issa.

Happiness was June's song..but I guess life has to go on..it's just not the same unless the 2nd &3rd generation can bring it just like the sisters..Fun fact; Issa father us Dennis Edwards from The Temptations. RIPJune& Bonnie 💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🥀🥀

Put simply, Ruth is no June Pointer and cannot do justice to the song Happiness! No wonder Anita said she does not miss this part of being a Pointer Sister. I understand why now.:-(
