Happy birthday, Anita Pointer!


A founding member of the Pointer Sisters (my girls!), Anita Pointer was born January 23, 1948, in Oakland, California.  Although their music was most R&B, Anita wrote Fairytale, which won the group their first Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group.  The song was also nominated for Best Country Song of the year for 1975.

She returned to the country charts in 1986 with her duet with Earl Thomas Conley Too Many Times which reached #2 on the U.S. Country charts.

My favorite song led by Anita is I'm So Excited from their Break Out album
