Your Friday K-101.7 SONG OF THE DAY!

The original tittle of the song was "Slow Foot" but that was changed cos it sucked and didn't make much sense.

One of the many pleasures music brained me has doing the K-101.7 Song Of The Day is digging up sizable but nearly forgotten music and acts from the wayback tides of charts and time. Like The Pointer Sisters, from Oakland, California,  who were something like ten years into their recording career when the early eighties swept up to the top, every so briefly.

I remember the Pointers from this scene in the movie Car Wash, backing up Richard Pryor:

That's Ruth, June and Anita. June passed in 2006. So let's remember them at their 80's peak, shall we? Their top 10 hits "Jump (For My Love)" (1984) and "Automatic" (1984). The group's other U.S. top 10 hits are "Fire" (1979), "He's So Shy" (1980),  "I'm So Excited" (1984) and "Neutron Dance" (1985) and today song in question.

(As an aside, ladies and gentleman, here's Conway Twitty give the song a middle aged dude creeptastic reading.

Yikes.

Okay, let's let the sisters do this song proper justice. Here comes your-

-K-101.7 Song Of The Day. 

P.S: This tune hit number 2 for three weeks in 1981, kept out of the top top by Lionel Richie And Ol What-Ser-Face's "Endless Love." Here then, ah ha, are the top albums for the year 1981.
