Still beautiful and still so excited, Ruth Pointer, member of the awesome Pointer Sisters, was born March 19, 1946 in Oakland, California. She joined her younger sisters, Anita, June and Bonnie in 1972, making the group a quartet. They released their first album The Pointer Sisters in 1973.
Bonnie left the group after their third album, Steppin' and they continued as a trio.
In 1990, Ruth married Michael Sayles (her final husband) and in 1993 gave birth to twins at age 47. She continues to perform with her daughter Issa and her grandaughter Sadako.
She sings lead on Neutron Dance and Back in My Arms.
I read her autobiography Still So Excited back in January. Such a great woman!
