Pointer Sisters - Steam Heat - 12 april 1974 • World of Jazz

RIP Bonnie Pointer. “Steam heat” is a show tune written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross for the Broadway musical “The Pajama Game” in 1954. The Pointer sisters were four sisters (Ruth, Anita, Bonnie and June) and children of the Pastor Eltion Pointer. They started their singing career in the beginning of the 1960s in the church of their dad. The sisters grew up in a ministerial family. Listening to secular music was strongly forbidden at home. Only gospel music was allowed. Once June brought an Elvis Presley single “All Shook Up” home which was only possible because of the b-side; “Crying in the Chapel.” This footage came from the TV-program: Music All In. The performance has been very well preserved by the AVROTROS and digitized by InnArchive. To honour Bonnie Pointer who unfortunately died this week we publish this video from their 12 April 1974 performance on the (Dutch) AVRO tv-program Music All-In Watch more World of Jazz videos ► https://goo.gl/Z28cxv Join us.
