Let us do the Neutron Dance in her memory

Sadly, June Pointer – the youngest of the Pointer Sisters – died of cancer yesterday. She was only 52.

The Pointer Sisters may have been off the charts for awhile, but when they were on them, man, they were on them a lot. VH-1 Classic has done a fair amount to raise their profile a bit in recent years, but just take a gander at these hits:

“Automatic”
“Neutron Dance”
“I’m So Excited”
“Slow Hand”
“Jump (For My Love)”
“Dare Me”
“Should I Do It”
“American Music”
“Goldmine”
“Fire”
“He’s So Shy”

Every one of those tracks was a top-40 hit…and seven of them made it into the top 10.

Now playing…what else?

The Pointer Sisters, Greatest Hits.

And wouldn’t you know it…? “Neutron Dance” is on right now.
