The Pointer Sisters release "He's so Shy" 1980



My girls released He's So Shy, the first single from their Special Things album, July 23, 1980. The was written initially as She's So Shy by Tom Snow and Cynthia Weil for Leo Sayer, but Richard Perry, the Pointer Sisters' producer, thought it had greater potential if the gender of the song was adjusted.  

The Pointer Sisters' single went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1980 and held the spot for three weeks.  They performed He's So Shy on an episode of The Love Boat, which aired February 7, 1981.

The Pointer Sisters release "Hot Together" 1986

My girls released their twelfth album Hot Together November 1986, pumping out more great music!  It was their eighth collaboration with producer Richard Perry.  Although it wasn't as successful as Break Out or Contact, it held its own. 

The title track was featured on the soundtracks to Spaceballs and Stakeout, and also part of the NBA's promotional campaign in the late 1980's.

Set Me Free was featured in the opening scene of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" starring Whoopi Goldberg.
