The Pointer Sisters win their first Grammy 1975


The Pointer Sisters win their first Grammy Award, March 1, 1975 for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for Fairytale.  The song was written by Anita and Bonnie, who were also nominated for Best Country Song as the songwriters.  Later Fairytale was covered by Elvis Presley. 

Based on the song's success, the Pointer Sisters were invited to Nashville, and became the first African-American group to perform at the Grand Ol' Opry!
