Thanks

. But I won't buy a Pointer Sisters' CD just to listen to a Fleetwood Mac song, so I guess I'll never hear it.

Btw, I like this Nightbird cover.

Some channel (TV ONE, I think) has a musician biography series called Unsung, which is really good. The subjects are usually lesser-known black artists and groups. Anyways, I just watched one on Melbe Moore, which led me to do some searching where I found that she covered "Dreams" on a 1985 album. I really want to hear it!

Here are three covers of "That's Alright", I absolutely love this song lately for some reason. I like the first one the best, the other two sound generic to me.

I likes the second one best, hehehe...

It's really quiet at first though. But when she belts it at 2:49 it totally makes the cover.

I definitely overlooked this song at first, but it's my fave on the album now.

Me too haha, I'll admit that skipped it for a long time, but Mirage is slowly becoming one of my favorites

Just got around to checking this out. I tend to really like the 3rd one the best. I like her voice and the arrangement better.

It's the only Pointer Sisters album I own...or WOULD own...the whole album is great. They also cover Bruce Springsteen's "Fire", Redbone's "Come & Get Your Love", Loggins & Messina's "Angry Eyes", the Doobie Bros' "Echoes Of Love", Sly Stone's "Everybody Is A Star", Stephen Stills' "As I Come Of Age" and Steely Dan's "Dirty Work"....the CD even has a couple of bonus tracks.
