[HQ] The Pointer Sisters ♪ Fairytale

[BBQFanNo1]

I'm Black and also like Country Music. Favorites are Marty Robbins,Waylon Jennings,Hank Williams Sr,Patsy Cline,Johnny Cash,Merle Haggard,Alabama,Don Williams,and Others of what is called Old School. It is important to remember that older Country had more of it's roots from Gospel,Ballad,Blues,and Folk Harmony. More spirit and soul in it than the 1980s to Present called Country.

[HoboGus]

One person meant  "Dis I Like" !!!!!!!!!

[rdmineer1]

I'd love to see footage of their Opry appearance.

[rdmineer1]

I have always loved this song, and these ladies. Radio played the heck out of it!

[tlynch1218]

thank you thank you thank you. i've loved this song from the first time i heard it and to see them having such a good time with it makes it that much better!

[rennyshelton]

I clicked "like" because there was no option that said "love."

[DaveWollenberg]

The Pointers hit #13 in Bilboard, 12-14-74. God bless ya, girls. RIP, Bonnie.

[josephkenny77]

Y'all like country music?

YES, WE DO!

[DaveWollenberg]

@josephkenny77 Folks, I meant, RIP, June!

[josephkenny77]

These women are goddesses. No electronic sweetening, no autotune, no after the fact jiggering -- just raw naked vocal talent. I am in love.

[thebestreddress]

Great song! The Pointer sisters are awesome!

[Cicilo1983]

Don't you miss the days when singing was reserved to, well... people who could actually sing ??? I certainly do. Thanks for posting this, the Pointers are true vocal legends.

[mezzomanUK]

Wow, this is great and such good quality! Is it from the BC2 In Concert series by any chance?

[BBQFanNo1]

It was a privilege in time period to live experiencing the countless variety of excellent music whether country,rock,rock & roll,classic rock,jazz,dance,soul,funk,folk­,southern rock,blues,classical,progressi­ve,latin,you name the style of music from the 1920s to 1980s. It was the best music in world history.

[BBQFanNo1]

This is a Woman i would want to Marry.

Seriously. This is a Woman i want to spend the rest of my life with if it is God's Will to bring a Woman like this in my life.

[MsHamidian]

This was a fantastic song and so many women can relate!

[moproducer]

I heard this on the car radio on the way to work in 1974. When I arrived at work (a radio station, and not the one I'd been listening to!) I told the program director that the Pointer Sisters had released a country tune. He laughed right in my face.

Later, I found the single in a batch of 45s that had arrived earlier that day, and was the the first jock to play it. This was the beginning of my love affair with the Pointer Sisters.

[Venu337]

no fucking autotune here baby. These are DIVAS> I hate beyonce and rhianna

[Rolco64]

@Venu337 You are so right! No Studio tricks-just talent. The better material indeed! Thanks for your comment.

[HoboGus]

[glencoe6305]

This is more "Country" than stuff put out by so-called "Country Music" singers. Bravo !

[jlmichael9958]

i've been a country fan all my life, never new the pointer sisters cracked country wide open in 1975! i've been a fan of theirs since the 80s...wow what a discovery! thanks for posting! ps i always new country wasn't only rednecks and republicans!

[albertoescola]

さすが！

high level !!

[jeffandtherest]

I can remember when they won the Grammy Award in 1975 for Best Country Performance by a duo or group !! From Gospel, to country, to disco/pop, The Pointer Sisters have definitely made an impact on our music !!! Thank you girls !!! ELVIS also did a cover of this song!!

[magicalme2P]

love this song ,just like all their songs somehow ,super

[BobbyinNashville]

I loved this song since I was a child.

[philburrell]

Bonnie, Ruth, Anita and June......I will always love your contribution to American Culture and the music.......

[davnkatz]

Hard this on KVET-Austin this morning and just had to access it. You ladies have really captured the country sound. Super good song and performance.

[burjazz]

The audience is comatose.Such a great song should have been appreciated. 

[darrenjb71]

A real class act. Groups such as Girls Aloud today should take notice!

[Damonw305]

I lost my mind when I found this gem on youtube. I think you really gain an appreciation for how eclectic the incredible Pointer Sisters were and still are. I can't remember any other musical group who could change musical genres so effortless. Then or now without sounding overly rehearsed. RIP June...Thanks for the post.

[MrPieman1011]

1975 Senior trip. Six Flags over Texas. Saw the Pointers that day sing this song. Spent many a quarter in a jukebox after that listening to this song. My alltime favorite.

[donn409]

The Pointers were and are a class act. If my memory serves me correctly they are the only African American group to not only have country hits but they are also the only one to win Country music awards as well. I believe they were proud to have had Elvis record one of their songs.

[sleazypig]

omfg the pointer sisters did a country song

[MrDonAlbert]

Really nice country song!

[pec2pec]

In 1975, The Pointer Sisters won their first Grammy Award (in the Country Music category) for this song. The Pointer Sisters could do it all - and brilliantly, too.

[philburrell]

@pec2pec ...yeah, they turn the Grand Ole Oprey out.......

[2010starsha]

i have been looking for this song everywhere didnt know what it was called til i found lyric finder and it told me man i love this song so true down to everyword

[hiswheeler]

I adore this song!!! Great one!

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #13 pop, #37 country in Billboard. Didn't hit the soul chart all. LOL! God bless!

[attilako]

good arrangements, this is one of my favorite band

Attila

[27wimbledon]

geez ima maori boy from good ol new zealand and havent heard this song since i was at school and man listen to that bewtiful harmony noone will eva do this better im goin to see them next week on the 27th o feb 2010 at kings park in perth western australia awesome anita whoa yeah country at its best not many people new they also did country as well go girls

[MultiBaldEagle]

I can listen to this over and over and over and never get tired of it.This just goes to prove that good music is good music. Don't matter if it's country, gospel, rock and roll or disco. And the color of the performer matters none in the least. I'll keep enjoying this as long as I live!

[1SECRETBILLY]

After hearing this I wonder if there is a difference in country and soul ...oh my Anita sig it with your heart lol gotta love it

[camrod94]

No one has ever done this song better.

[santamara]

Best "Country" I've ever heard!!

[santamara]

The only reason I bought the Album!:))

Loved them ever since!!

Great post,, thank you!!

[percystreet]

A belter of a country track - this is country at its BEST!

[monkeyblaze]

I love this song! I'm surprised to read that it wasn't a bigger hit at the time. I remember it on the radio constantly.

I got to see them perform not long before June passed. They didn't do their early stuff, just their 80 pop trio hits. They were really terrific!

[moms78vette]

I'm a white guy and geeez ,i love this song. the pointer sisters were great and still are. Thanks safari.

[valdancer52]

@moms78vette It doesn't matter what color you are to enjoy good music. As I recall, the Pointer Sisters received a Country Music Award for this song - not R & B. I loved the Pointer Sisters of the 70"s when they sang many jazz arrangements. Try listening to "Old Songs."

[nhisgreat]

@moms78vette omg this is how americans comment on black music these days.... i guess you guys still deal with race issues afterall. what a pity....

[ChrisOtheBigC]

The story about the good ole boy at the Opry IS true, as confirmed by the beautiful Ruth Pointer in an interview. SEVERAL folks reacted like that, when the sisters made their history making appearance. Ruth says that it was not mean spirited at all: just genuine suprise, on the part of many in the audience. Apparently they were also cheered on, like nobody's business!!!

[MultiBaldEagle]

Kinda like Charlie Pride standing in front of the mic at the Ryman and saying, "Look, I know yall are shocked at seeing me up here with this permanent suntan".....that, by the way, is true also!

[RushindanoDensetsu]

I love this song! The Pointer Sisters are great!

[Chuck1974]

I read somewhere that one of the Pointer Sisters described their appearance at the Grand Old Opry. When they started singing "Fairy Tale", a guy in the audience yelled out, "Those girls are black!" Apparently he had heard the song on the radio but had no idea they were a black group. Too funny, hope it's a true story. Thanks for posting this clip.

[dannyr58]

I recall a similar story- and I hope it's true too. This is a great song. Long a great favorite of mine, and my special favorite of all that the Pointer Sisters did!

[KahunaUlana]

This is GREAT!! It has been my personal ballad since it first came out!

[MultiBaldEagle]

They were the first (and I think the only) black female group to win a Country Music Award......in 1975. I listened, and listened, and listened to this song when I was a sophomore in High School!

[slugg63]

The local radio station would play this song every morning @ 7:30am thru the week for 2 months when I was in High school. And at 15 yrs old , I bought everything they had on vinyl. WAY before they went disco....lol Good stuff....

[MrPieman1011]

This YOU TUBE thing is awesome. I'M AMAZED. A live version of the Pointers'

Fairy Tale. Unbelievable. My first real concert. 1974. Six Flags Over Texas, Big D . Senior trip.

[telarock]

how many? I see four (4) ladies here.

[MultiBaldEagle]

In later years, there were only 3 but back in 75, there were 4....Bonnie, Anita, Ruth, and I think the fourth was named Nell?...I may be wrong on that!

[SafariCreations]

The 4th Pointer was baby sister June.

[jeffandtherest]

@MultiBaldEagle Anita, Bonnie, Ruth & June-Gospel singers, country in 75, disco/pop divas in the 80's, still on the road doing their thing. GOD bless You girls.

[spadinajack]

Yeah a "GEM" for sure ! I think this is te BEST Song the Pointer Sisters ever recorded.

[1SECRETBILLY]

Anita has a nice easter frock on

[eciujselkcip]

Youtube is a wonderful thing... to find gems like this.

[Del655]

I was 7 or 8 when this came out. I remember riding in my Mom's car near Macon, Ga. hearing this song and loving it. Even then I thought it was cool to hear Black women singing on a country station.

[mxmikol]

Thanks so much for posting this great vid. I've always thought the P/S were a versatile group. It does me proud to see Oaktown girls doing it and doing it well. Thanks again!

[Navaura]

I shoulda known. Hince the name the pointer sisters. Didn't know they were from the south. Wow. I'm from the south too.

[MrsDiamondears]

@Navaura Yeah, if Oakland,California is the South

[1SECRETBILLY]

at 4.35 it's almost like the sisters step up their game to front stage cause Anita will carry the song if they will pick there feet up.Great song.

[LoserSusie]

This is gorgeous! I loved this song 35 years ago when it came out and I had the 45! It brings back memories...

Thanks for sharing this.

[trouble47]

OMG, I did too.. glad to see this on here... Your right memories..yay...

[telarock]

well secretbilly, I gonna havta agree with you ... this shornuff is my favrit ole country song. Anita is a mighty fine lady an' she sangs real purty. (thanks Dazzle Man)

[1SECRETBILLY]

Wow!!Bravo !! now that is a country song not only won a grammy as (safari creation) said, but might be the best country song ever.Now I was born in Memphis and never put someone over Elvis his covers.But these ladies walked ito Nashville and knocked it out !
