Anita Marie Pointer , founding member of the Grammy Award–winning vocal group The Pointer Sisters ("He's So Shy"), is 72 years old today.

She and her sisters found fame in 1973, when the Anita-led "Yes We Can Can" reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1974, Anita's writing talents helped the group make music history when "Fairytale" became a hit on the country music charts and enabled The Pointer Sisters to become the first black female group to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. "Fairytale" won the group its first Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group, and a Grammy Nomination for the Best Country Song of the year in 1975. ... See MoreSee Less

On Jan. 23, 1963, a 20-year-old college dropout from Port Arthur, TX began hitchhiking to San Francisco along with her friend Chet Helms. She was going there in order to become a singer, . Chet, who had a band in mind for her to sing with, would become one of the major concert promoters in San Francisco with his "Family Dog" series of concerts.

The 20 year old college dropout..... Janis Joplin. The band Chet wanted to put her with, Big Brother and the Holding Company.

All journeys whether small or large start with the first step. Especially this one which started 56 years ago today.
