Hello APOOOers and welcome to another week. The weekend was full so I’m happy to be home today. Relaxing, Reading, Reflecting. Anybody remember the Pointer Sisters and their ‘different’ look. It’s sad, but by today’s standards, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance. Sigh. For some reason, one of their songs, Yes We Can Can, has been on my mind. Maybe it’s because of the Yes We Can reference. LOL. Anywho, I recall it being a favorite when it first came out. So, I thought I would feature it on today’s Soulful Sunday blog (it’s r&b but it has a inspirational message) for your listening pleasure. For those who are old enough to remember when it first came out (early 70s), take a stroll down memory lane. For those who are too young, listen anyway and share your thoughts in the comments section.
To everyone, I hope that today you will do something just for you, just because.
Have a good one everyone.
PS I’m reading a book called the Smart One and the Pretty One. More details when I post this week’s Sunday Salon.

Now I’m grooving to TPS Greatest Hits… it’s great!
“Cause I’ve got a man with a slow hand… I’ve got a lover with an easy touch… I found somebody who will spend some time not come and go in a heated rush… I found who somebody who will understand… I found a lover with a slow hand…”
Slow groove on my mind!

Yes, we can can. The Pointer Sisters are from the Town!, that’s right, they are Oakland girls, raised in the church with a preacher father. When they came out with their unique 40s style of sound and dress, we loved it.
