The Pointer Sisters debuted in 1973 with their self-titled album and achieved early success with such hits as “He’s So Shy,” “Slow Hand” and the cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Fire.” Their 1983 album, Break Out, was certified triple-platinum, making it the biggest selling album of the Pointer Sisters’ career. In 1984, the Pointer Sisters released four Billboard Top 10 singles in a row with “Automatic,” “Jump (For My Love),” “I’m So Excited” and, from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, “Neutron Dance.” The success of the album earned the sisters two Grammy Awards and two American Music Awards.
