The United States did it, but it can do more

We Can. Not you Can. Not I Can, Not they Can, Not she Can, Not He Can, Not you all Can or Not y'all can. We Can.



-The Pointer Sisters With Gaylord Birch- " Yes We Can"

Some members of the Pointer Sisters are actually blood related- June, Bonnie, Ruth, and Anita.
Anita is older than June and Bonnie. Ruth is the eldest Pointer Sister.

As children living in Oakland CA, the Pointer sisters sang gospel music. The girls' parents, Reverend Elton and Mrs Sarah Pointer forbid their 4 girls from singing rock and roll and blues because they believed that rock and roll and blues to be the "devil's music." When their parents weren't around, the Pointer sisters sang rock and roll and blues songs. One day, June Pointer bought Elvis's "All shook up" record in front of her mom. June's Mom, Mrs. Pointer, dug Elvis and allowed June to continue playing the rock and roll record; Perhaps Mrs Pointer thought that Elvis religious singer when he sang, "Crying in the Chapel" on the "B" side of th the All Shook Up record.
