In 1974, the Pointer Sisters from West Oakland, California, recorded their second album, called "That's A Plenty". Ruth, Anita and Bonnie, later joined by June, were the daughters of a preacher couple. In the years between 1973 and 1978, they concentrated mainly on nostalgic numbers from the 40s and 50s for the Blue Thumb label and sang jazz, big band numbers, rhythm ’n’ blues and country songs. The picture was made complete by kitting themselves out in extravagant costumes and second-hand clothes. The present re-release offers jazz classics such as "Salt Peanuts", "Little Pony" and "Black Coffee", and also a selection of country music ("Fairytale" climbed to number 13 on the US charts) and nostalgic numbers such as "That’s A Plenty" and "Grinning In Your Face". All in all, this album takes us along a highly successful path through American showbiz: no pigeonholing here and no self-erected musical barriers either! The Sisters sing what they and their public enjoy – and if one recalls all their awards and extremely successful TV and concert appearances in Europe and the USA, they had certainly found a great recipe for success. After all, the group exists to this day and gave a highly acclaimed concert in Bonn (Germany) in 2004 together with Kool & The Gang. "That’s A Plenty" is bound to be a great discovery for all jazz fans and for the rhythm ’n’ blues fans, and maybe for those who love a high gloss mix with a touch of rock. This LP has something for everyone. And the top notch recording technique and sound reproduction will even satisfy demanding hi-fi freaks.
