Customer Reviews
The Answer To A Prayer...
This disc should be required listening in every music school in the country. Sure, there are some less-than-polished moments, but it's such a vibrant album...the raw edges just give it that much more character. This is what real voices sound like, ladies and gentlemen, before microcircuitry took the place of talent in the recording studio. I still get a chill right before the Sisters make their entrance..."Whoooo! Here come the Pointers!" yells one of the gals. Indeed.
The precise stereo placement of the 4 (yes, there once were FOUR Pointer Sisters; come back, Bonnie...all is forgiven!) individual voices amplifies the energy of the numerous scat solos. Quite a lot of humor, as well--The "Old Songs" medley still cracks me up. One of my favorite albums of my youth, and now it's on CD.
Prayers ARE answered.
These brown babies gonna boogie for you!
Wow, does this album kick! I'm not a big fan of most live albums, but this one is just outstanding, all the way from the incredible opening overture to the walk-off. It just shows how incredibly talented and versatile the Pointer Sisters were and still are.
I LOVE THESE WOMEN!!!
Oh my...the Pointer Sisters bring so much joy to my heart. I listen to their incredible harmonies, tight syncopation and amazing energy...and it's all wonderful! This is the very best representation of what The Sisters express in creative power. I love their most recent disco and dance tunes, too...but this is raw Pointer Sisters and it is GOOD! You will not be disappointed.
