Pointer Sisters-Where Did The Time Go?

[Affair on Touhy Ave.]

I don't know if the song explains it well but I read on the groups official website this was written about their Father who had died in 1979.

He was a minister and both he and his wife wouldn't allow them to listen to any secular music.
Only time they ever did was visiting friends.

Anyone else recall that June's been gone since April 11th of 2006?

June suffered a stroke on February 27, 2006. While recovering, she was diagnosed with cancer, which had metastasized in her breast, colon, liver and bones. She died at UCLA Medical Center. (Wikipedia)

I love the group and always have. Their 40s style stuff from ABC records was pretty
cool,especially "Yes We Can Can" & "Betcha got A Chick On The Side" but it was the modern songs that caught my ears.Like "Fire" & "He's So Shy".

My favorite though is "Neutron Dance".

Recorded in 1983 for the "Breakout" album but saved for single release from the "Bevely Hills Cop" sdtk. in late 1984/early 1985. Reaching #6. I still feel to this day,had it been the leaqd off single in 1983,it would have been a #1 hit.

Instead,the singles weee "Automatic","Jump For My Love","I'm So Excited" (Remix) and finally "Neutron Dance". ( "Baby come And Get It" failed at #44. ) . "Dance Electric" would have been a beter choice.

After that,however,they only enjoyed 2 more hits "Dare Me" #11 late 1985
and finally "Goldmine" #33 in 1986. They never returned to the top 40 after that.
