She was a member of the Pointer Sisters, the 70s band whose hits included Jump (For My Love) and Fire.
Anita Pointer, from the Grammy-winning Pointer Sisters, has died aged 74, her publicist has announced.Her family said they were deeply saddened by her passing. "Heaven is a more loving beautiful place with Anita there," they said in a statement.
With a blend of funk, soul and R&B, the group released their eponymous debut album in 1973. Yes We Can Can, a funky tune which called for unity and tolerance at a time of racial unrest in the US, became the album's breakout hit. The group almost disbanded in 1979 after Bonnie Pointer left to pursue a solo career, but the remaining sisters regrouped and went on to shed their previously retro image for a modern pop sound.
