The Pointer Sisters had an enviable run at the top of the charts in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their hits included “Neutron Dance” and the most famous cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Fire.” The albums that all of these songs appeared on were produced by 1970s über-producer Richard Perry. One of the most successful music producers ever, Perry was no stranger to the upper reaches of the charts – he produced the hit albums Ringo (1973) for Ringo Starr, No Secrets (1972) for Carly Simon and many others.
Oddly, one Pointer Sisters album with Perry at the helm made no impression at all – in fact, when Priority was released in 1979, it disappeared virtually without a trace. The sisters were still riding high off the No. 1 smash “Fire” and its album Energy from the previous year when Perry took them into the studio for this followup.
