My girls, the Pointer Sisters, released their most successful album and all-around awesome Break Out, November 6, 1983. Although it was their 10th studio release, it burst on to the music scene selling over 3 million copies and giving the girls four top 10 hits: Jump (For My Love), Automatic, Neutron Dance and I'm So Excited, a remix from the previous album So Excited. The fifth single, I Need You, was also a hit but did not make it to the Billboard Top 40. A sixth release, Baby, Come and Get It, was a minor hit in 1985.
Break Out did win two Grammys:
Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or more Voices for Automatic
Best Pop Performance by Duo or Group with Vocals.
And two American Music Awards:
Favorite Soul/R&B Band Duo or Group
Favorite Soul/R&B Band Duo or Group Video Artist
