The Pointer Sisters - I Need You (live) 1988

[@latoyareeves9663]

I LOVE my little sister. I remember (back in the 80’s) when we blow dried our hair out and lip synced to this album. Our Mama loved it! GOOD times. 😂🤎❤️🎉💕

[@barryjackson4708]

Saw them n San Francisco at the Fairmount Hotel back n the 70s they were great❤❤🎉

[@biancachi6435]

Rest well ladies. We love you Ruth

[@Jas8631]

June was the spark

[@williesartsdesignscuisines]

Yesssss!!!!

[@sung553]

When they start into the second chorus, simultaneously vocalizing different melodies in yet perfect harmony and June belts out, "Oh, yes I do!" just before they sing "I need you" in the chorus in the same notes, you can really hear the incredibly powerful range and soul that June possessed with her voice, as well as her gospel roots that she never abandoned. What a gift! She is so dearly missed.

HER VERSATILITY IS REMINISCENT OF WHITNEY. JUNE HAD A PERFECT POP STAR VOICE BUT COULD SING ANYTHING

[@freedom4mealways]

Forty years ago The Pointer Sisters unleashed this underrated hit. They and music lovers needed each other back then!

[@mariannecallender]

So beautiful and talented. The number one female group of all time❤❤❤❤❤

[@heruthecoppercoloredgod7311]

Talk about SOUL sisters....my God this was what I NEEDED today....everyday...the FEELING I feel when sisters sleigh a song!

[@stephanie3506]

These were some bad sistahs!!! They had a blend that only siblings have.

[@TheSiggib]

Best Pointer sisters song .-)

[@biancachi6435]

This song is underrated!!!!

[@buzzdavis]

+Logan Franklin Yep...........and the Break Out album was huge.

[@rioboy13]

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!! This is a love song (true enough) but if you listen carefully to the lyric... you MAY think is about carnal, romantic type...but it really isn't about whoever you crawl in bed with for sexual gratification, but actually is about sibling love. Sister's love in this case, and this song really touches my heart because well...my 4 brothers mean the world to me, so I identify with it =)

[@christinewomack8999]

I know, this is my favorite song by the Pointer Sister

[@00ky]

Found it browsing Spotify last night - haven’t heard it in years, brilliant song

[@kathymailler]

Defiantly underrated. The change of lead the ins and out of the chorus let everyone shine in this song. The flawless change in leads in the verses is amazing

[@rioboy13]

I'll NEVER get tired of The Pointer Sisters! I love them, I love them, I love them!

[@terrellsilver3903]

I love this song! I love the Pointer Sisters, RIP June Pointer 💜

[@GreenLine4444]

On the album version of "I Need You", June Pointer is hitting whistle notes towards the end of the song. And great performance of this live version.

[@JhonathanFree]

I miss June. They were so amazing. xoxo

[@daveheel]

this was one of my favorite songs off of the album. it still gives me chills every time i hear it. it's so good.

Love ruths deep voice!! Super rare for women to be able to get that low. Talent!

[@Dino-su2wh]

Tina Turner can go very low

[@blackheartbev3098]

Not like Ruth, especially in Automatic

[@solfridkristoffersen4956]

This is the first time I see this song peformed live by the Pointer Sister ! My favorite song. On my casette it is!!!!!

I miss cassette tapes! I cherish the Pointer Sisters! I’m sad I didn’t get the chance to see them perform!! The Pointer Sisters made the 80s amazing!! Happiness 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔

[@anitakos1375]

God bless June, Bonnie and sweet Anita! God bless you too dear Ruth! The last sister with us awww so sad 🙏💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥲

[@mariannecallender]

Love, love, love this performance. It is extra special. Actually all their live performances are superlative. Their beauty and authenticity not to mention extraordinary talent illumine every show, interview, appearance wherever, and I have never been to a live performance. They deserve so much more recognition and honour for enriching all our lives. I am so in awe of them but missing Anita especially. Love them all and pray Ruth continues to keep the Pointer Sisters flag flying high. Oh what a treasure! ❤

[@sabrinasown]

I just love this song# I Need You

[@TheMariposaloca]

This was my favorite song on the "Break Out" album.

[@GreenLine4444]

@@TheMariposaloca This song is very good. I gotta admit, "Jump (For My Love)" is very good too.

[@NZSenorita]

"I got to have you by my side" "Sister" "Brother" It doesn't get any better. The fabulous Pointer Sisters.

[@Justaskkjames]

I love all of them but Anita stands out just a bit more than the other two. Rest in peace forever June & Bonnie.

[@GreenLine4444]

I always thought June stood out a little more than the other two.

[@mariaadele3367]

its a great song from them. It is a shame it was not a hit for them. Looks like not many people like this kind of music at the time. I think it was great and still is.

[@jamesthomas2152]

maria adele it went to 15 on the pop charts

[@kwgib]

Wow, this is rare, beautiful Pointer Sisters, so fine.

[@cosmicroyal77]

This song always takes me to a good feeling place that only the 80's can. The 80's is a moment put into the microwave, pre-heated for seemingly my own fine, magical selective tastes. Every song back then sounded beautiful and angelic with bells, all the slow ones that is.

[@Dino-su2wh]

i love black singers and my fav singer is Queen Tina Turner

[@frankj3446]

cosmicroyal77 there’s nothing better and beautiful music from the 70’s and 80’s.!!!

[@OL8Twho]

I will never forget seeing the Pointer Sisters in Eugene, Oregon in the 80's. They worked that stage together like a well oiled machine. The harmonies just blew me away. I loved 'em then and I love 'em now!

[@timchestnut8963]

My favorite by them …Talent …my goodness talent unmatched anywhere

[@ambrosiaamore7381]

Love love love this! I saw them do this in Columbus, Ohio in 1985 in their baby come and get it dresses. It's such a sweet and sisterly song!

[@gibranlewis7300]

They were pretty epic.

[@sabrinasown]

Love this song!!! And also Freedom

This song is timeless and so true! Their love was/is really tried and true....they sure deserve a lifetime award!

[@apollosolo1582]

This group took us into the 80s. This is a great live rendition. Shame that Bonnie wasn't there to make it complete, it probably refers to her more than Anita, Ruth, and June.

[@blackheartbev3098]

Well, Bonnie thought she didn’t need them, guess that was a mistake 😬

[@apollosolo1582]

@@blackheartbev3098 "Bonnie had a few hits in the late 1970's however it didn't last long, on the other hand this song signifies they were a close family, and she probably could've returned, nevertheless, their love for each other is reflected in this song.

AMEN!!!!! I'm one third of The Dulanto Brothers, and would like us to sing a spanish version of this tune because it embodies exactly how I love my brothers.

[@alonzoconley2159]

WOW!!!!!

[@sportsguy50000]

@Cicilio1983 RCA sent this primarily to R&B radio, where the Sisters had struggled for airplay. This got up to #13 and then R&B radio forced Automatic as second single (Jump was supposed to be released, but got pushed back). It may not have been a pop hit, but it paved the way for Break Out to be a multiformat smash. INY has been included in every PS GH release showing the importance of the song.

[@jerrellweekstv9542]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@trezlorenz]

The only thing that would make this better would have been if Bonnie would have sung this with them!

[@digidydg]

I was 2.5 when this concert happened. I wish I could be a little older and have gone to this concert. Out of their songs this is my favorite.

[@jeffmjv2]

Wow I remember this concert, wish I could see the whole thing!!! Where did you get this?

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

@TheMariposaloca there's a longer version (over 6 minutes long) on one of their greatest hits albums but I think the album is out of print
