 Just What I wanted! Aug 10, 2009
I was looking for a "best of CD," that didn't leave off one hit single and found it with this compilation. I don't like it when you are forced to choose between CD's because their is a great "hit" left off of one and placed on another. I am very satisfied with this purchase!

More of the same Mar 02, 2006
I agree with Dana in her 2004 review of this disc. Why can't Sony/BMG realise how successful the three first Planet albums were, and give us more of them: Energy, Priority & Special Things. These were all excellent albums and deserve to be remastered and reissued as prime examples of The Pointer Sisters, who were more than just the sum of a dozen hit singles. Give us the classic albums as well, instead of this Chinese-water-torture technique of releasing a 'best of' CD with one non-charting album track. These ladies deserve better.
 One of their Best! Feb 12, 2006
I have never seen their honky-tonk sond "Blind Faith" on compact disc (I bought the actual vinyl record) before, and I was suprised to see that it was on their Platinum and Gold coollection. However, I was dissaPOINTed to not find "Twist my Arm," "Operator," "If you Wanna get Back your Lady," or "He Turned Me Out,". These songs are my favorite. I was so shocked to see that they were not included. Oh, well. I can't give the Pointer Sisters anything below a 5-star! ; )
An amazing collection!!! Aug 01, 2005
Classic hits and hidden classics. This is fantastic. We've Got the Power is wonderful.

Pointers For Cheapskates Jul 09, 2004
I sometimes listen to older artists these days from the 80's. Especially, since the music industry is filled with manufactured wannabes, and thensome. Guilty pleasures from then, have much better music than people now realize. That comes from so many acts that have broke boundaries. The Pointer Sisters were one of those acts that absolutely broke that mold. They did so many things that Destiny's Child, Cleopatra and other girl groups have still not been able to accomplish, from performin on Broadway, to becoming the first African-American group to perform at the Grand Old Opry in the 1970's. The music they've made is still just as amazing today. While the sisters haven't scored a massive hit in years, the impact is still just as exciting and grand.The Platinum & Gold Collection has been BMG's answer to the surprising success of the Universal's 20th Century Masters Collection discs, that started in 2003. This one with the Pointer Sisters, has been a constant when it comes to good music. The songs here range with some of their great hits including I'm So Excited, the soulful Slow Hand, Fire, which Bruce Springsteen actually conjured up, the dynamic and groovy Neutron Dance, and He's So Shy, to just name a few. The songs here are great, but many people may not want this record. Largely, because there have been too many different Pointer Sisters hits' collection to come out in the past few years. The best one was the 2000 collection, which has more songs than the about dozen tracks here. All in all, the price is more for people who can't afford other hits collections, and is the price of those bargain masters in the process. There are just too few songs on this one, that die hard Pointer Sisters fanatics may skip this one out. All in all, this Pointer Sisters collection is very decent, but could've been better. Still, for anybody who can aford a good collection, this one is a sampler, but other good collections are already out now. The Pointer Sisters really did make some great music, but it is a shame people don't enjoy Ruth, Anita, and June pointer anymore.
