..."The Pointer Sisters also was the first African American group to perform on the Grand Ole Opry program and the first contemporary act to perform at the San Francisco Opera House, Neal said.
Bonnie Pointer left the group in 1977, signing a solo deal with Motown Records but enjoying only modest success. "We were devastated," Anita Pointer said of the departure in 1990. "We did a show the night she left, but after that, we just stopped. We thought it wasn't going to work without Bonnie."
The group, in various lineups including younger family members, continued recording through 1993.
Anita Pointer announced Bonnie Pointer's death resulting from cardiac arrest at the age of 69 in 2020. "The Pointer Sisters would never have happened had it not been for Bonnie," she said in a statement."
