Boy, do I hate to have the first post of 2023 be yet another obit. But Anita Pointer, one of two of the remaining Pointer Sisters, passed away on New Year's Eve Day. No cause of death was released but she was only 74. 

Their big hits came from their first album, released in the early 70s.

The group's 1973 self-titled debut album included the breakout hit, "Yes We Can Can." Known for hit songs including "I'm So Excited," "Slow Hand," "Neutron Dance" and "Jump (For My Love)," the singers gained a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994.

 The 1983 album "Break Out" went triple platinum and garnered two American Music Awards. The group won three Grammy Awards and had 13 U.S. top 20 hit songs between 1973 and 1985."
