Bonnie Pointer (1978) (with bonus tracks)

CD (Item 597045) Motown/Big Break (UK), 1978 — Condition: New Copy

A great Motown set from the 70s – a record that grooves with the new styles the label was exploring at the time, yet still has a rock-solid quality that links back to its 60s heritage too! The main strength here comes from Bonnie Pointer – whose vocals have an instantly classic sound that really fits the grooves – but the record also has killer help from top to bottom, too – including production from Berry Gordy and Jeffrey Bowen, songs penned by Bowen, Smokey Robinson, Angelo Bond, Lamont Dozier, and Truman Thomas, and top-shelf help from California Motown studio giants. Titles include "When I'm Gone", "Free Me From My Freedom/Tie Me To A Tree", "Heaven Must Have Sent You", "Ah Shoot", "I Wanna Make It", and "My Everything". CD features great bonus tracks too – including "Free Me From My Freedom/Time Me To A Tree (12" disco version)", "Free Me From My Freedom/Time Me To A Tree (inst)", "Free Me From My Freedom/Time Me To A Tree (single)", "Heaven Must Have Sent You (12" disco)", and "Heaven Must Have Sent You (single)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
