Pointer Sisters - Yes we can can 1974

[sauquoit13456]

JUST MISSED!!! "Yes We Can Can" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 16 weeks in the Top 100 in 1973, this record was also The Pointer Sisters debut on the charts!!!

[crispybluu]

Bonnie is killin it with that butterfly upside her face!

[khaliamoon]

Who the hell "disliked" this?!!

[TheMillyan1]

Turning it out!!!

[Osuitea]

There were four pointer sisters originally. They are somewhat unique because they really did not know gospel so their sound was/is interesting.

[smokey4149]

@Osuitea They were gospel singers and their father was a Minister.

[smokey4149]

@smokey4149 "they really did not know gospel" but you already knew that... ok.

[eireman]

Classic Pointer Sisters when they were damn funky

[staceymarksings8]

yes...did anybody listen, and do as they said? Good god almighty

[jehosh5577]

Have you ever heard a more impassioned version of this song? And check out that grooooove....!!!

[B4inSF]

Where was this clip filmed? What a treasure!

[kimsongs]

without women...we don't exist. They are the root of the tree. the cradle of life.

[dimpsey3]

@kimsongs without GOD we dont exist..btw it takes more then a woman to make a child..men has the seed.and womem has the egg..so it takes male and female to make life and without GOD neither do exist.

[kimsongs]

@dimpsey3 I agree... Without God there is NOTHING

[mrsbronze]

These 3 ladies here are my style icons.

[boomerlady]

Take care of al lthe children, the little children of the world because they're our strongest hope for the future, the little bitty boys and girls.

[78Sista]

These SISTA'S can SAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP JUNE, miss ya girl. :)

[78Sista]

RIP June. :) Love this song.

[Hoopermazing]

Mmm, mmm, mmm... I would have sucked young June Pointer like (as my grandfather used to say) like I was trying to get meat off a neck-bone.

[tisha812]

This is a wonderful video. Thanks for posting!!! I love the Pointer Sisters especially as a foursome!!!

[Loumademe]

classic! thanks.

[jeditwinz]

Talented and extremely hot. Need I say more?

[trezlorenz]

Killer bass line!

[themagnolie]

I don't like it because Allen Toussaint is the main man in this song. Lee Dorsey just did a fabulous version, along with Anita Pointer!!!!!

[Gimmer3]

Awesome!

[manwomanboogie]

Bad Azzzzzz.....Sistas was FIERCE!!!!

[TSharsworld2714]

An awesome vocal group, these sister are SANGING! Check the harmony and the lyrics, crazy! I got hip to this jewel once I got grown. The first time I saw these ladies were during there Jump days, lol. And the musicians are getting off on this joint! Thanks for uploading this classic for an 80's baby!

[lamcnugget]

I didn't know Tony Cliffton played keys for the Pointer Sisters.

[somerzeze]

And these sistas had lungs with tight gospel timing that fit right in funky music. YET they were a many of performers with nonphenomenal singing talent. Beyonce is on this level in her range and ARETHA the Queen knows this and I aint mad at her.

[theDanovo]

One of the few reasons I'm still proud to be from West Oakland- THE POINTER SISTERS!

[effentjes]

Fantastic. Thanks for the upload!

[Sox575]

I love the vintage Pointers! This song is great! Where was this performance taped at?

Thanks for posting!

[jimgriff]

Sometimes I miss the 70's so much it hurts... but at least we have these...

[dgile771]

Love it!

[VistasChangeNB]

2:10 !!!! MHMMMM

[waheedpix]

2:43 it really gets good

[annachestnut]

Do respect the women of the world remember we all had mothers.

[coreyikyp]

Thank you for posting this! But.......please........tell me.........what is it from? Where can I get the WHOLE PERFORMANCE?

[cupid4040]

I use to argue with my sister-in-law about how many Pointer Sisters there were. I said four she use to say three. I wish she could see this . She's deceased now.

[icarusinbrazil]

I think one left

[therealbrandi202]

Love them they had soul!!!

[ctrachsler]

GREAT, WONDERFUL! I SAW THIS GIRLS ONCE IN SWITZERLAND In A TV SHOW "KARUSSELL". I WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD AND SO IMPRESSED. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!

[Brashful1]

Hum 3 pointers left so why can t they " iron out our problems and iron out our quarrels " and get on tour again,

shouldn t they practice what they ve preached . . .

[tigereagle84]

If Bonnie is still using drugs, then it makes sense that Ruth couldn't be around that as a recovering addict. Also, someone on drugs might have issues with showing up to shows, remembering lyrics, etc.

Yougottabe, just curious, what makes Ruth a bitch? She always came across as so down to earth and nice.

[bendbenn]

oops! put my thumbs up next to wrong comment. I agree w/ you tigereagle. Ruth may be an obstacle to Bonnie rejoining, but she is just being professional in that regard (not a bitch) ... as the older sister, and a strong personality, I think of Ruth as a leader. Even tho I'd love to see Bonnie it can only be under the right conditions.

[roblettinVa]

Funkin fabulous. I love this clip wow they were really doin a smokin show then! Damn.

[spintation]

From what I have read, RUTH has been against Bonnie returning to the group-apparently she is too angry about some things in the past; sad. Bonnie wants back in.

[yougottabee]

well here's the thing: Bonnie has continued to have drugs problems for years now. i don't know if she's currently sober, but if she is, she hasn't been for long. And as a recovering addict, Ruth can't be around users. Anyone who's gotten sober will tell you that. But, that said, Ruth's a bitch.

[dutico]

Why is Ruth the bitch, when Bonnie left the group initially to pursue her solo career. Delved even further into a life of decadence and drugs, has publically spoken out against ALL of her sisters, and is known to act erratic and capricious. I can understand why Ruth who is a recovering addict herself, wouldn't want all that drama around her. ;) And I know what your saying because I would like Bonnie to be reunited, but you can't call Ruth a bitch because she is 63 now and playing it safe. If

[yougottabee]

I say Ruth is a bitch because I've met her. Now settle down, girl, and get back to croqueting.

[dutico]

Wow??? I'm sure it took you all day to come up with that one. ;) So you have met her huh? And now you are going around besmirching her name calling her a bitch... So in other words you are a s*** talker? If what you say is true, i'm sure Ruth aka the,"bitch," would like to know what you are saying about her. But then again we know that will never happen, because from my estimation, you are simply a e-warrior. So on that note, i'm done with you, and have a nice life. Oh, and the guys are calling

[tigereagle84]

Aw really? She always seemed so nice and grounded. Maybe she was having a bad day when you met her? I have heard (from someone who met the sisters) that Ruth and Anita were nice but not as friendly, but June was more outgoing and personable. I've heard the Bonnie, at least in the earlier years, was more outgoing and personable with the fans as well. We gotta remember that they're human and can off days, grumpy days, sad days. Still, they should try hard to be nice to fans. Just my $.02.

[yougottabee]

ha...i've met Ruth several times and she was never very nice...downright rude at times. Sorry, but it's the truth. And yes -- June was just wonderful. She was very friendly and her aura was so warm. She made you feel like a friend. Anita was also nice, but not as open as June. I've wondered if it's because she's a little shy and hence doesn't come across as warm as June. I met Bonnie just once and she was just great. As down to earth as you can get -- a real around the way girl!

[radioone100]

I'm afraid I have to agree with you, for the most part. I met the sisters years ago when they were a foursome, and Ruth was very unpleasant. I'm glad you had a good experience meeting Bonnie, but she was a bit stand-offish when I met her. Perhaps, as tigereagle said, she was having a bad day, because I've heard she's usually quite welcoming. Anita and June were very nice.

[tigereagle84]

Wow, that sucks to hear. It's still interesting since there seems to be very little information about them outside of the basic biographical stats. A book about their story would be one hell of a read.

[TVGord]

I've met Ruth, too, and she couldn't have been nicer. Very down to earth and family oriented. She speaks her mind, but you're not going to criticize a woman for doing that, are you? I think if you want to find "bitch" in anyone, you'll find it. Hell, you probably think I'm an SOB now, simply because I disagree. Bonnie is my favorite, but she I don't think she should get back into the group if she hasn't cleaned up her act.

[TVGord]

Well, let me be completely frank, then. I think you are trying to make yourself seem more important than you are by tearing down a perfectly nice person. Perhaps you had bad experiences with her because you are generally an unpleasant person. I approached her with a kind heart, and I was treated well. You're probably an okay person, but if I were to go on a bunch of message boards and talk about how ugly your behavior is, that wouldn't be very fair, would it?

[yougottabee]

LOL...so you have to attack my character because of this? You're telling me I shouldn't judge someone, by way of judging me? Dude, I have my opinion; you have yours. It's not really anything to get upset about. And by the way, if you want to ask someone about Ruth's behavior, why don't you ask Issa? Do you know Issa? Do you know how she's feeling about Mom these days? No, I didn't think so.

[TVGord]

Yeah, I thought you'd enjoy that. I'm just doing to you what you're doing to Ruth. Bask in it. :-)

[dutico]

(continued) anything it is Bonnie who is the "bitch," as you put it. She brought all of that upon herself because she couldn't get her act together. Nobody forced her to become addicted to drugs, nobody forced her to go solo, and nobody forced her to blame all her problems on her sisters. So don't hate on Ruth because she got her act together.

[dutico]

Additionally if Bonnie really cared about her fans, she would of gotten clean along time ago. So in my eyes personally, that says something about her character, and i'm just going to leave it at that. So you have a nice day :)

[dutico]

(continued) they say they want you to get back to the croquete field, you are their number one fan aren't you ;)

[daretosayit]

@yougottabee ... didn't know any other of the sisters had substance issues....I can only recall June's being publicized. Interesting. Would sort of explain some of the estrangement.

[spintation]

If only Ruth could forgive Bonnie and let her back in!!They wold be unstoppable again.

[nerettino]
