1993 Pointer Sisters – Only Sisters Can Do That
Only Sisters Can Do That is the last Pointer Sisters studio album released in 1993 on the SBK label. The album was helmed by producer Peter Wolf and led by the single “Don’t Walk Away”, which featured Michael McDonald as guest vocalist. Originally, the track had been recorded by Ruth Pointer for a solo album that she abandoned in favor of the Only Sisters project. Other songs of note include “I Want Fireworks” and “Tell It to My Heart”, which were both co-written by Anita Pointer, and the title track, penned by the sisters. The track “Feel for the Physical” appeared on the 1995 album Souled by Thomas Anders reworked as a duet by the Pointer Sisters and Anders. Despite critical accolades, the album proved to be a commercial disappointment.
