Career

Brought up under the guidance of her mother and her aunts, Pointer first ventured into music while on the road with the Pointer Sisters during the group's 1985 tour. Later on, she contributed to some songs with the group for various albums. In 2002, she started replacing group founder June Pointer, who left initially for drug problems and then was sick. Pointer permanently replaced her aunt in 2004; June died of lung cancer on April 11, 2006. Together with her mother and aunt Anita Pointer, the Pointers enjoyed a successful revival in Europe with their duet single with Natalia on a cover of Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox's "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves", which reached number 2 on the charts in Belgium.
