This week we took a deep dive into the catalog of Oakland's own Pointer Sisters, in honor of Anita Pointer who passed last week at the age of 74. They're best known for their crossover (yet still funky) 80s hit, but the Pointers have a deep well of jazz/funk/blues joints in their earlier years, and I hope you'll enjoy this foray as much as I did.
