As part of our Black History Month Rewind at Ms. Studios, we're revisiting some of our favorite past episodes. In our final Rewind, we're revisiting an episode we recorded in 2021, celebrating Juneteenth with Fritz and Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters. In this joyous episode, host Michele Goodwin is joined by music icon Anita Pointer of the three-time Grammy Award-winning R&B group the Pointer Sisters and her brother Fritz Pointer, acclaimed professor and historian and former music manager. They celebrate Juneteenth and unpack their award-winning memoir, Fairytale: The Pointer Sisters' Family Story.Fritz and Anita Pointer discuss coming of age in the civil rights movement; emphasize the importance of tenacity and learning the hard way; and break down what it was like for their family to finally break through and land award after award—all by doing it their own way. As an added bonus, expect to be serenaded by Anita Pointer!Joining us for this episode are two very special guests:Anita Pointer, founding member of the legendary music group the Pointer Sisters. Anita and her sisters found fame in 1973, when the Anita-led “Yes We Can Can” became a hit on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #11. Their breakthrough resulted in multiple hits and Grammy Awards, including for Best Performance by a Duo or Group and even Best Country Duo or Group. In 1974, Anita's writing talents helped the group make music history with “Fairytale,” which became a hit on the country music charts—leading the Pointer Sisters to become the first Black female group to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. Their hit-making magic kept audiences singing and dancing through the 1980s and '90s and became part of the 2008 Obama campaign playlist. In 1994, Anita and her sisters received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Anita continues to write, record and perform, maintaining an international touring schedule as a member of the Pointer Sisters.Professor Fritz Pointer is one of the older brothers of June, Bonnie, Anita and Ruth—also known as the Pointer Sisters. His latest book, Fairytale: The Pointer Sisters' Family Story, is a memoir of their life co-authored with his sister, Anita Pointer. No one else knows the family, community, political or social history out of which the Pointer Sisters came as thoroughly and deeply as he does. He managed the group prior to becoming a professor specializing in African and African American history. Pointer has 30 years of experience teaching composition, African and African American humanities, and history in higher education. He has authored two books and several scholarly articles in his area of African literature.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

The Smiths, one of the finest bands produced by Britain (or anywhere). Their third album, The Queen is Dead, is rated by Mick as one of the finest albums ever made. We talk about where they came from, their influences, and why they are still popular today, over thirty years after they split. Jeff brings you up to speed on recent rock deaths, talking about Jeff Beck, David Crosby and Renee Geyer, among others. Our Album You Must Hear Before You Die is “New Wave”, by The Auteurs. Mick damns it with faint praise, but then, he's very picky!!

Oakland is a city of just over 4 hundred thousand people located in California's bay area across the water from its bigger and far more famous sister city, San Francisco. Despite its relatively smaller size and relationship as the “other” city to San Francisco. Oakland has produced some brilliant music by the likes of Pharoah Sanders, The Pointer Sisters, Sheila E. MC Hammer, 2pac, Souls of Mischief, Del tha funky homosapien, Raphael Sadiq and Seasick Steve. When it comes to music there are a few genres that Oakland has been known particularly for over the years and they are Jazz, Blues, Soul and Hip Hop. In the early 1900s a wave of jazz musicians arrived with the migration of labourers that moved to the bay area from places like New Orleans to work on the railroads that were being built at the time. By the 1960s there was already a highly developed jazz scene in the city. Clubs like Creole Café, Musicians Union Club, Sweet's Ballroom and the Burma Lounge had live jazz music playing every night of the week and it was in this fertile jazz scene that one of the genres all time greats made his first moves in Jazz Music. In 1959 a young man called Ferrel Lee Sanders moved from his hometown of little rock in Arkansas to live with relatives and study art and music at Oakland City college. Ferrel would go on to become the jazz musician known as Pharaoh Sanders, a legendary performer that would play in John Coltrane's live band, collaborate with Leon Thomas and Alice Coltrane and who was highly influential in the development of free jazz and spiritual Jazz. A decade after Pharoah Sanders moved to Oakland, a girl group consisting of sisters June, Bonnie and Anita Pointer started performing in the nightclubs of Oakland with their own blend of Jazz, blues and soul music. The name of their group was The Pointer Sisters and they would go on to achieve huge success, winning three grammys and scoring many world-wide chart topping hits over there long career which still continues to this day. Growing up in the Excovedo's the jazz club that her father opened in the lakeshore district of Oakland Sheila Cecilia Escovedo or Sheila E. as she went on to be known by was a percussionist, related to the legendary latino jazz conga player Tito Puente, she started out performing percussion with The George Duke Band but after leaving the group, Sheila gained relative success with the release of her debut single ‘The Glamourous Life, a piece of soulful pop music that pays hommage to her background as a percussionist and her upbringing in Oakland's jazz scene. In the late 1980s a young man hip hop artist going by the name of 2pac started making waves out of oakland with his own brand of rap music that addressed the contemporary social issues being faced by african americans in the inner cities. Though at times surrounded by controversy, 2pac would go on to become one of the highest selling music artists of the 1990s, one of the most influential rappers of all time and a symbol of activism against inequality. In the 1990s Oakland's music scene went through a particularly fertile period for the newly emerging sound of west coast 90s hip hop. In 1991 the formation of a new crew called Hierglyphics which assembled some of the cities best hip hop producers and MCs signalled a new dawn for oakland hip hop. The founder of Hieroglyphics was a rapper that went by the name of Del The Funky Homosapien. Founding Hieroglyphics was a move that solidified the Oakland hip hop scene and put oakland on the map for hip hop in the 1990s.
At the close of 2022, American music lost a treasure: Anita Pointer died at age 74. Alongside her sisters June, Bonnie, and Ruth, she was a founding member of the Pointer Sisters. To mark her passing, we're replaying our 2014 conversation with Ruth and Anita.

Holmberg's Morning Sickness - The Entertainment Drill - Tuesday January 3, 2023
In this episode, we remember and celebrate the life of Anita Pointer, founder of The Pointer Sisters. Anita died of cancer on Saturday, Jan. 1, at home in Beverly Hills, Calif. She was 74.Her writing and singing talents helped propel the group to stardom. But Anita was also a writer, producer, business mogul and feminist activist—a proud supporter of women's rights and committed to advancing racial justice and civil rights. Throughout her career, she blazed a trail for women artists, particularly Black women artists, on stage and behind the scenes. Anita Pointer changed the game both on and off the stage through her involvement in the civil rights and Black Power movements in the Bay Area in the '60s.In honor of her passing and support of her family, we're re-releasing this special episode with Anita and her brother Fritz Pointer, acclaimed professor and historian and former music manager, which we taped last summer. The two joined us to celebrate Juneteenth and unpack their award-winning memoir, Fairytale: The Pointer Sisters' Family Story. In it, the Pointer siblings discuss coming of age during the civil rights movement; emphasize the importance of tenacity and learning the hard way; and break down what it was like for their family to finally break through and land award after award—all by doing it their own way. As an added bonus, expect to be serenaded by Anita Pointer!Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Tips, suggestions, pitches?
