Bonnie Pointer passed away on June 8th, 2020, she was 69 years old... The Oakland, CA native, as a solo artist, had three Top 100 records, "Free Me From My Freedom" {#58 in 1979}, a covered version of the Elgins' "Heaven Must Have Sent You" {#11 in 1979} and a covered version of the Four Tops' "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" {#40 in 1980}... She charted six more times on the Top 100 as a member of the Pointer Sisters... May she R.I.P.
Love Bonnie's version of this song !!! Wish she'd come out with a greatest hits with all her songs - and the longer versions of her classics like this song !!!
we had this album "ten four" a compilation of disco music from wea records which includes this song, working my way back to you girl by the spinners, funky town by lipps inc., and some love songs like longer by dan fogelberg to name a few back in '79- '80. i was just a kid then but the memories still remain and mind you, we still have that vinyl long play record in our possession. 😊❤❤❤
i discovered this version this week, sadly after her recent death. for me the best version of the original. such vibration and rythm of this iconic classic. Loved IT!
This was dad's song and he's been gone since 2005. I play this as a tribute to him and all the fathers around the world!!!!!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL!!!!!
On this day in 1980 {March 8th} Bonnie Pointer performed "I Can't Help Myself" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' Three months earlier on December 22nd, 1979 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #40 and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100 Of course the original version was by the Four Tops in 1965; their version reached #1 {for 2 weeks} Two other versions also charted; the Magnificent Men {#90 in 1967} and Donnie Elbert {#22 in 1972} RIP Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}
Motown’s late 1970s and early ‘80s dance. Using output was very well produced but often remains overshadowed by its earlier heyday-years’ hits and success. Wish this great help would come out on iTunes. I’ve got the album, in the meantime! 😎
Idk why Bonnie wanted to leave The Pointer Sisters but her success was minimal compared to the heights of "The Pointer Sisters ". She could've done solo projects and still been part of them but only they know why...RIP June,Bonnie 🙏🏽🙏🏽😔😔
Are people who are posting deaf or hard of hearing? I love Bonnie Pointer and I love the Pointer Sisters but the person singing this song is NOT Bonnie Pointer. Ms. Pointers voice was not only strong and dynamic but her pitch and her range were just as impressive unlike the person who is singing on this track. I have the original Vinyl record and the original CD of this song and this is not Ms. Pointer singing on this sound track. This track sounds awful.
Listen to this in the 80s as a kid and now listening to it in 2023 in my 40s
The guitar playing is sizzling on this, like it was on a lot of disco
Yet another DISCO smash that brought me and my fellow Queens rushing to the dance floor. RIP Bonnie.
Sounds divine!
it was a bigger hit on the disco chart than Heaven must have sent you.
Rip. Bought her album Sugar pie Honey bunch. Longtime ago. Thanks for making the 70s and 80s great. Keep on Dancing.
Bonnie Pointer 1950-2020❤️ Thanks for the great music🙏
