Bonnie Pointer

Bonnie Pointer, an essential member of the influential R&B group, The Pointer Sisters, was a core part of the trio during its early years. Their genre was a rare blend of skilled melodic lines, New Orleans ridges, and retro-friendly elements. Their first record as a quartet was released in 1973 and went gold, thanks to the singles Yeah We Can Can and Wang Dang Doodle’s success.

The triumphant process did not end there. The group was nominated for a Grammy Award ten times and won three. Bonnie, later on, quit the Pointer Sisters to pursue a solo career and showcase her vocal talents in dance-oriented R&B. She released her first solo single, Heaven Must Have Sent You, which reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1979. Bonnie’s contributions to the music scene will forever mark her life and career investments.
