Speaker 1: Jumission with Joins and Amanda coming through the germanak Our

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Big Book of Musical Facts on this day. In nineteen

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: ninety four, the Pointer Sisters received a star on the Hollywood.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Walk of Fame. They were the first African American female

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 2: music group to perceive the honor. In nineteen ninety four,

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Really got extraordinary, isn't it.

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: In the seventies, after the Poiter Sisters performed at the Grammys,

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: they rocked up to an after party that they were

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: invited to, and the person who answered the door took

00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: the ladies around the back of the house and left

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: them to sit in the kitchen because they thought the

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: Pointer Sisters were the high at help. Bonny Pointer elaborated

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: on the story, saying, well, that's just the way it

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: was back then. A white radio station would not play

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Little Richard or Chuck Berry. That's why the success of

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: Elvis came along. They could record a song that a

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: black person wrote and it would become a hit when

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: no one would have heard from the original songwriter. Oh so, thankfully, slowly,

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: the times are change, and that's something to be so

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: excited about it.

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,240
