The Pointer Sisters were as chameleonic as David Bowie, if not more so. The sibling group backed Grace Slick and Boz Scaggs, made stops at Sesame Street and the Grand Ole Opry, won a country Grammy, and appeared in the movie. Among the hit singles from these releases were the empowering Yes We Can Can (written by Allen Toussaint), How Long (Betcha Got a Chick on the Side) (a Toussaint-flavored song written by Bonnie and Anita with David Rubinson), and Going Down Slowly (a grinding take on Toussaint's Going Down ). The most successful song of all was Fairtyale, a Bonnie- and Anita-penned departure into country music that peaked at number 13 on the Hot 100.
The Sisters got more respect from Elvis Presley, however, who covered Fairytale on his 1975 album Today, and performed it live for the rest of his life – an affiliation made all the more meaningful since Elvis’s Crying in the Chapel had been one of the few rock’n’roll records the Pointer’s parents allowed in the house. 3.

The middle-of-the-road turned out to be a comfortable place for the Pointer Sisters to idle through the middle-stretch of their career, satiny balladry like this FM radio staple coming easily to the trio during their tenure with Perry. Erotic but mature – maybe even tasteful – Slow Hand was as close to the country sound as the Sisters had braved since the days of Fairytale; Del Reeves and Conway Twitty later scored hit singles with countryfied covers of the song.
