Whenever I'm craving a good vibe on those weeknights, I can't help but think of the legendary band Chic. Their sound doesn't just get you dancing. It fills your heart with joy as you get into those groovy 1970s rhythms. It’s the kind of music that makes you feel alive and ready to enjoy life. Honestly today's tunes just don't have that same magic for me. So I keep listening to Chic’s tracks and reliving that feel good energy.
One of those tracks that I listen to is the track I Want Your Love from Chic’s
second studio album C’est Chic 1978.
In the United States, "I Want Your Love" reached number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in November 1978[2] and number five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in April 1979. It also peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1979 and remained on the chart for 19 weeks. In the United Kingdom, it reached number four on the UK Singles chart (the highest position of any Chic singles) and spent 11 weeks on the chart.
I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to the Hitmakers Music Podcast. Keep reliving the tunes.

You remember Michael McDonald when he was a member of the Doobie Brothers singing:
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away.
The song was written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins: What A Fool Believes. Michael McDonald sang lead with the Doobie Brothers for the 1978 album Minute by Minute.
So what's new? Michael has announced a new book titled What A Fool Believes: A Memoir. It will be out May 21, 2024 via Dey Street Books. The book is about Michael's career. The book is written with his friend Paul Reiser. You can pre-order the book on Amazon.
Also the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald are reuniting for a new album. They'll be some new music. And the Doobie Brothers featuring Michael McDonald will come back on tour in 2024.

Today's topic:The Pointer Sisters. Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to the hit makers podcast. I want to talk about a girl group from Oakland California which achieved mainstream success during the 1970s and 1980s. They are the Pointer Sisters. There were four sisters: June Pointer, Bonnie Pointer, Anita Pointer, and Ruth Pointer. Bonnie left the group and went solo. You may remember her hit Heaven Must Have Sent You which became a US top 20 pop hit on September 1, 1979.
The girl group genres are plentiful: R&B, pop jazz, electronic music, bebop, blues, soul, funk, dance, country, and rock. The Pointer Sisters have won three Grammy Awards and receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994. The group had 13 US top 20 hits between 1973 and 1985.
The first time I heard the Pointer Sisters is when I heard their hit song Fire in 1979. Then after that, He's So Shy in 1980. The song had an outstanding keyboard and synthesizer sound. It was very noticeable to me and different than most of the songs I heard during that time.
Whenever I saw the Pointer Sisters, their song He's So Shy was the first song that would come to my mind. It was an awesome hit by the Pointer Sisters.

Whitney Houston's debut album titled Whitney Houston is the first album by a female artist and new artist to yield three No. 1 singles - "Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know", and "Greatest Love of All". Whitney Houston's album was released in 1985. It topped the Billboard 200 for 14 weeks in 1986.
On that album, "The Greatest Love of All" is the first song to hit my mind when I think of Whitney, but not the only song. The song was composed by Michael Masser and Linda Creed wrote the lyrics. To me, it's a very special and spiritual song. Whitney Houston is called the First Lady of song, and she is also called the voice.........
