[MeteoraXV]

those are some crazy legs

[SubSlaveCD]

This live performance is absolutely awesome!!!

[SubSlaveCD]

I love the Pointer Sisters! True Legends! R.I.P. June Pointer (1953-2006).

[Lemontree23]

The microphones' wires are all over the place! :p

[MrGandalf101]

junie---- the best voice of the four of them

[andrewinbrisbane]

I love the cross to Boy George having a wine and a boogie to them. Sooooo 80s.

[yodaluc]

LOVE THEM !!!!!!!!

[MikeyRB77]

Fab. They really needed wireless microphones though.

[SubSlaveCD]

@MikeyRB77 Wireless micropphones? Hmmmmm...did you look at the year they performing this song? 1985.

[dsussman]

the one person that thumbed this down must be hard of hearing : )

[dsussman]

their harmonies are seriously on a different level.

[songbird2875]

@dsussman I thought they was singing in unison? Let me listen closer:) lol

[shougobr]

I love the beginning xD

[matthewwilkes1973]

How very sad. Only just read that June passed away in 2006. What a fantastic group. She had a truely great voice and what a loss to the family. Love to you all. R.I.P. June.

[jerseycub]

without a doubt one of the best choruses in the history of music! You better believe it!

[mayena]

Did the BBC really broadcast the festival in the UK?.

[loveblind]

incredible

[CroBer09]

RIP June

[tofylennox]

excellent!

[LargerThanLife2]

These girls ( women) are the ultimate performers! Vocal, engaging and music. Love it! Thanks for posting!!!

[rooseveltgameshow]

For anyone who takes live performances for granted, this is how it's done. There aren't many artists, certainly in the charts, that could come anywhere near this these days.

Vocal brilliance... and I'm predominantly into rock.

[dutico]

My favourite Pointer songs with June leading in order are: He's So Shy, then heart to heart, then gold mine/dare me.

[leftsoul]

pant pant pant to bloody hot

[grrwuff]

...yes, og så lige "he's so shy", for så er jeg 17 igen...

911truth/denmark

[freakingdisco]

IHH, den sang er perfekt ;D

[belthazorshaxandreas]

I love this song!!!! Perfecy voices!!!! Also the remix of junior jack rockssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bergacquah]

Men, they're amazing

[donniehell]

wow..they are wearing their "Baby come and get it" clothes....June was soooo sexy! Something about her...the voice, the legs, I will always love her.....I just wish I would have met her....I wish I would have been more assertive in meeting her.....it is hard cuz she is gone now.

[NJJ]

what i loved about the Pointer Sisters is that fans of almost every genre-disco, hip hop, r & b, rock and roll, new wave, etc. all digged them. I mean this performance at the Montreux Golden Rose Rock Festival '85 was primarily for the new wave/pop acts at the time, and yet the Pointer Sisters tore down the house as always. Great find!

[Stasi78]

In my opinion, two things make The Pointer Sistes one of the most fabulous acts of all time: firstly, the variety of music that they have performed, always succesfully, from gospel to disco, an unbelievable achievement. Secondly, the amazing vocal abilities of each girl, whether it was lead, or backing. This live performance is a proof of what I mean. Thanks for uploading.

[Myrolex]

Yes, every song was a great one!

[tonyrolls1]

gotta love those pointers !!!

still missin' you JUNE !!!

[chain2fate]

I wish someone would post the video. Fantastic song!!! What am I saying? Everything by the Pointer Sisters is freaking amazing!

[boiskeepswinging]

this song is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[ellatinodivino]

AMAZING SONG!!!

[edelbrn]

This song rocks!!!! June is so full of energy. RIP June..died 21 years after this performance.

[csadaybyday]

When this song came out, I bought the 45 and played it so much I wore the damn grooves out. The Pointer sisters have great voices, no doubt, but there's something about this beat and the instrumentals that literally gave me goose bumps! Hearing it now, 23 years later, it still has the same effect.

[superhead123]

I love them,they were close with Sylvester and sung with him to in the early days in the bay area.Miss Boy George getting her dance off backstage werk bitch!

[alphacatt]

I remember the Music video to this song,

the lead singer walks into a Gym flled

with guys working out, and she taunts them to

dare her,and after her training scene. She beats one of the guys in a boxing ring.

[SoulBoogieBoy]

June Pointer is pure 100% GOSPEL with that voice of hers! Love it!! So powerful. Just can't get enough

[2008lamar]

This is a great Live performance! Come on Dare Me!

Make your move I want to take you on! I love it!

[starkid77]

just when I thought the performance couldn't get any better, there's this high note and then boy George is popping up out of nowhere!! great stuff!

[tmontyb]

One of my very favorite Pointer Sister songs. Rest in peace, June. You are missed but your music will live on forever.

[cavaradossij]

hello Guru, i remember that wonderful song from the Pointer sister's 'Party in Paris video on CBC Television, on the same video was Anita's Leading " SLOW HAND' i love that, can you post it for me

than ks in advance

[Plutoplatter]

The Pointer Sisters were the greatest live act in the history of pop music. Electrifying, sensual to the max, sexy, and exciting! And oh, what powerful, ringingly-clear pipies they had! Only ABBA could match them. I saw the Pointers live in South Lake Tahoe in 1986. They tore the place up! You couldn't help but want to dance. And they circulated in the audience, hugging practically everyone and thanking everyone for coming. You wanted to marry all three all on the spot.

[martingrebing]

Great comment! I have to agree with almost everything you said! Who these days can match their performance, talent, live sound quality, and stage presence?

[cavaradossij]

Ironically June and Bonnie formed a duo naming it Pointers, a pair, after a few months they talked, Anita, the one with the best personality, into joining them, then a few months later Ruth was invited to join, there was never a set lead singer the took turns

[cavaradossij]

A poor family whose mother and father were Church of God ministers, the girls sang in their father's gospel quire,and helped the family with their earnings, eventualy buying them a house in Brentwoood, June was raped at 16 when she was walking home from practice, this is when her cocaine habit started

[slickrickpuppy]

when i was a kid i tought june was a black laverne penny marshall she was the most talented of the 3 she was a belter r.i.p.

[siciliansummer]

I thought I was the only one who thought that! :-)

[kjdinoc]

At the end of the song June really lets go with her vocal ability. I haven't heard any current PopTarts with that sort of vocal range.

[Modzie]

June turned it OUT! Wow what a voice and performer. Her contribution to the music world will live on. May she rest in peace

[tachoX2]

Amazing performance. Dresses from the Baby Come and Get It video. Thanks for the video!

[marvelboy74]

Now this is a girl group. I wish they were more respected.

[colnevalleyhigh]

june cant sing for shit live

[tigereagle84]

shut up dumbass...she sang fine

[colnevalleyhigh]

its my fukin opinion i will say what i want

[tigereagle84]

so will I....

[dare57]

r u nuts.. she's great live or studio..

[universuale]

Evidently you never attended a live show with the Pointer Sisters, 'cause that would surely change your mind 4ever. These women sing like no one does today.

Just listen to all these so called pop stars- uuhh!!

[BryanNC08]

BABY MAKE YOUR MOVE

[SLICKRICKDOG]

hi can someone post clips from the 2001 kennedy center were it was june last tv apperance with the group.

[nothingbetter2du]

Thank you. This is my fav POinter Sisters song. And yes, they don't lip-sync.

[rosbergs3]

This is so good it sounds like a lip synched performance.

[kjdinoc]

They never needed to Lip Sync. They were powerful performers with powerful voices. Not many of those left in the world.

[stephancan]

i love them so talented what happend after this no more hits such a shame they were great

[colnevalleyhigh]

june doesnt sing like she does in th videos

[colin172]

God Bless June, RIP

[tedrack25]

There's some lyrics from this sampled into some really popular techno / electronica tracks. "Baby make your move, step across the line, touch me one more time". Sounds awesome. I love the original too

[marvelboy74]

Stupidisco by Junior Jack

[BMichaelL]

I swear I can watch these women ALL DAY if there were no other girl groups available! SERIOUSLY!

[redeemed118]

The Pointer Sisters sound just as good live as they do on their albums.

[kjdinoc]

God I miss them.....was that Boy George dancing toward the end?

[pagandeva2000]

Yeah, that is da 'Man', Boy George! I loved him, too!

[redeemed118]

I am happy you posted this. I am irritated that damn youtube deleted the original video. Record companies, how much airtime does this get outside of youtube? Heaven forbid, the exposure might do you some good. Grow up! Let us enjoy the artists we love.

[thisisittt]

Thank you so much for posting this. Do you have any other Pointer videos? They're the best!! Thanks again!
