750<div class="paragraph" style="display:block;"><strong>APRIL 9TH in PROVIDENCE!</strong><br />Ruth Pointer joins Christian John Wikane for a special conversation about his new book. A Night at the Disco, which celebrates more than 100 artists who sparked a phenomenon in dance music from 1970-1979. The book features excerpts from Christian's interviews with dozens of music legends, including Ruth's comments about Bonnie Pointer, who is featured in a two-page spread. The event is free and open to the public.

The song written by Anita Pointer, June Pointer, Ruth Pointer and Trevor Lawrence reached #30 on<em> Billboard's</em> Hot 100 Chart. The energetic <a href="https://youtu.be/8iwBM_YB1sE" target="_blank">video</a> was directed by choreographer, Kenny Ortega and featured the sisters getting ready for a night on the town. Unhappy with the chart results, the sisters convinced their producer to add it to the second pressing of their 1983 <em>RIAA</em> certified multi-Platinum album, "Break Out". The song was re-released in 1984 and climbed all the way to #9 on <em>Billboard's</em> Hot 100 Chart.&nbsp;<br />The song has been featured in several movies, including <em>Summer Lovers, National Lampoons Vacation, Working Girl and The Nutty Professor</em>, just to name a few. <em>Billboard</em> named the song #23 on their list of "100 Greatest Girl Group Songs Of All Time" and it's been included in <em>RIAA</em> and <em>National Endowment for the Arts</em> project "Songs of the Century", a list intended to promote a better understanding of America's musical and cultural heritage. "I'm So Excited" has been streamed over 370 million times on Spotify and has become an anthem for the sisters that is instantly recognizable.</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>
