Their fourth album, Steppin’, came out in the summer of 1975 and launched with a classic: How Long (Betcha’ Got A Chick On The Side), a funk-laden groove that soared to the top of the R&B charts and just grazed the Top 20 on the pop side. The other tune that got a little traction on the pop charts was another funky track, this time from the pen of Allen Toussaint: Going Down Slowly. The sisters pay tribute to Duke Ellington in a medley called I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But The Blues, and then take a page from the Andrews Sisters’ stylebook in Save The Bones For Henry Jones. I love the Duke Ellington medley, "I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues.

Sparklers like these only serve to whet the Pointer Sisters' own appetite, though, as they work their way through a hefty course of vibes. Their love of early standards blossoms across the smoky, sultry, six-minute "I Ain't Got Nothing but the Blues" - a wonderful tribute to Duke Ellington sung in medley form, allowing the quartet's vocal harmonies to shine across a big band backdrop. Elsewhere, they take a spin through Allen Toussaint's "Going Down Slowly," which scored them another R&B hit at the end of 1975
