Pointer Sisters release "Fire" 1978

My girls the Pointer Sisters released their cover of Bruce Springsteen's Fire, October 2, 1978, with Anita taking the lead.  It became their first gold single and was an international hit, reaching #1 in Belgium, the Netherlands, South Africa and New Zealand.  It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

It was released prior to their album Energy, their fifth studio album, in November 1978.  

The Pointer Sisters release "Energy" 1978

"Energy" the fifth studio album by my girls (the Pointer Sisters) was released in November 1978.  They had split up briefly after Bonnie left the group but reformed and came back strong.  The album included a cover of "Fire" by Bruce Springsteen, who wasn't too happy their version did much better than his.

It was their first gold certified album since "That's A-Plenty" released in 1974.  "Happiness" is an awesome song but "Hypnotized" is my favorite.
