Now I feel a little less excited upon hearing the news that seemingly provides an exclamation point for inarguably the biggest purge of last-minute passings to close out a year. Ricky Nelson's 1985 New Year's Eve passing is probably the most infamous one of the rock era, but this means that only Ruth will live to see the 50th anniversary of The Pointer Sisters' eponymous debut album on Blue Note Records. My earliest memories of "I'm So Excited" (which she sang lead on) and Anita were not in the early 1980s since it was just before my time, but in 1991 when my elementary school's gymnasium's cassette mixtape for warm-up exercises included that hit while I would be jump roping, peg climbing walls, or doing push-ups. RIP Anita Pointer.
