Listened to them a lot in the late 80's, then my company hired them for a Christmas party! WOW oh WOW!!! There were only about 1000 people there in a huge auditorium, so it was really easy to be at the front of the stage and that's where we stayed for the entire concert. There were 5 couples just totally grooving in front, having way too much fun dancing, drinking and laughing with the joy of the moment. When Ruth threw out a handkerchief that she'd just used to wipe down her brow, she threw it to my husband! Such a prized possesion!!

Jump by the Pointer Sisters is my all time favorite song to dance to, it's sublime! Fever is pretty freaking awesome too in a totally different way.

Judging by their TV appearances and their videos they know how to put on the show. Is the handkerchief on the wall or under glass or what?

It's a treasure! I think it was the most fun I ever had in my life - so yeah, a pure and unexpected treat. We didn't know until they came on that they were the featured group, so also an amazingly good surprise.

Then, PBS did a live special in around '76, that I really enjoyed.
I was so happy for them when they struck gold in the 80s.
