June Antoinette Pointer, born November 30, 1953 in Oakland, California, was a founding member of the Pointer Sisters. She and Bonnie first started as a duo in 1969, then Anita joined them. Ruth made the group a quartet in 1972 and the rest is history.
She sang lead on some of their biggest hits, such as Jump (For My Love), He's So Shy, Baby Come and Get it and Should I Do It?
She was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and passed away April 11 of that year. But her music and voice will live forever!
