Family hail singer as ‘the one that kept all of us close and together for so long’
Anita Pointer, one of the Grammy-winning Pointer Sisters whose string of pop, country and R&B hits in the 1970s and 80s included I’m So Excited, Jump (For My Love) and Fire, has died of cancer aged 74, her publicist said.
Pointer was surrounded by family at her Beverly Hills home when she died on Saturday, publicist Roger Neal said.
