Pointer Sisters - Yes we can can 1974

Pointer Sisters - Yes we can can 1974

(Original by Lee Dorsey 1970)

Now's the time for all good men
to get together with one another
We got to iron out our problems
and iron out our quarrels
and try to live as brothers

And try to find a peace within
without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Remember you all had mothers

We gotta make this land a better land
than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give

I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna yes we can can

I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
And we gotta take care of all the children,
the little children of the world
'cause they're our strongest hope for the future,
the little bitty boys and girls

We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give

I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can

Oh I know we can make you
I know we can make it if we only try
Great god you love it.

(Instrumental)

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!!!

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

[smokey4149]

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

[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.

[eireman]

Can't STOP LOVING the POINTERS! MISS YOU JUNE!

[Josquinquin]

This is IT!!!!! Don't get no better!!

[Nanadsyl]

When The Pointer Sisters came out it was OVA! We wanted to dress in long dresses and old fashion jewelry and wear our hair in marcel waves just like them. My mom was like "why yall wanna look like grandmoms" lol We were fly and stylish!!
