“Please respect our privacy during this period of grief and loss. Heaven is a more loving beautiful place with Anita there.”The fourth of six children, Anita and her sisters grew up singing in their dad’s church in Oakland, California – forming a band that went on to huge success in the 1970s and 1980s.Among their bigger hits were “Fire” in 1978, “He’s So Shy” in 1980, “Slow Hand” in 1981, and “Neutron Dance,” “Automatic” and “Jump” in 1983. “I’m So Excited” from 1982 remains a standard.
