The Pointer Sisters

The Pointer Sisters

A vibrant collision of 1940s vocal jazz and 1970s funk. Sisterly harmonies so tight they feel like a single, multi-tonal instrument over organic, dusty grooves.

Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, high-speed vocal interplay on Wang Dang Doodle that mimics a full horn section.
The sudden shift into a stripped-back, intimate gospel-inflected harmony during Pains and Tears.
The way the bassline on River Boulevard locks into a hypnotic, funky groove that anchors the complex vocal layers.
