AT LEAST TWO CLASSIC SONGS

This CD is worth buying for "Betcha Got a Chick On the Side" alone. It is 7 minutes of pure funk. The vocals are stunning, and the beat is funky as hell. It amazes me that this song isn't more well known. It sure beats the hell out of the 80's junk they put out. The other show stopper on this CD is "Going Down Slowly". Again just 7 minutes of pure, unadulterated funk-disco bliss! "Chainey Do" is another funky, hypnotic, song that will keep you moving. The rest of the album, while quite good, can be bland at times. "Sleeping Alone" has nice vocal harmonies, but not much else. Another jazzy number is the tribute to Duke Ellington. "Save the Bones for Henry Jones" is campy fun, and would not sound out of place on a Bette Midler album. It does sound out of place on this album though. Better to buy the Blue Thumb compilation CD, it has "Betcha..." and "Going Down..." in their entirety, as well as standouts from all of their Blue Thumb releases. Much cheaper also!

Chainey Do!!!

"Steppin'" is one of the funkiest,FIRIEST of the Pointer
Sisters LP's.The main reason in addition to the hit "How Long"
is the Herbie Hancock/Headhunters collaberation "Chainey Do" in
whitch these snazzy sisters throw down the JAM in fine style!
The rest veers from jazzy vocalese that was the Pointers then
stock in trade but it's ALL so worth it!

Wonderful

This cd is the cd to have to appreciate the early days of the Pointer Sisters. I was seven years old when this album was released and continued to listen to it in my twenties. I'm thirty-five and have searched for this cd for a long, long time. I am thrilled to see it released on cd. I believe $40.00 for this cd is a bit much, but I can honestly say it's worth it. Every song is great, but Sleeping Alone, penned by Stevie Wonder is my favorite and Save the Bones for Henry Jones was my favorite song during my childhood. I use to perform it for my mother's company....how sad is that and I still remember the lyrics....now that's really bad and sad :-) Anyhoo, it's a nostalgic trip for me, but one I don't mind taking over and over again.

Enjoy!!!
