Anita amassed many original costumes from The Pointer Sisters' incredible career and the exhibit is still up today at the museum. In fact, the last photo of Bonnie, Anita and Ruth was taken at that Exhibit at The Hollywood Museum before Bonnie passed away.</span><br /><br /><em>Released by publicist Roger Neal.</em><br /><strong> </strong></div> 1453<hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>

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. <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> 1501 1502 </div> 1503 1504 1505 <div class="blog-social "> 1506 <div class="blog-social-item blog-fb-like"><fb:like href="http://thepointersisters.com/3/post/2022/09/im-so-excited-turns-40.html" width="90" layout="button_count" action="like" show_faces="false" share="false"></fb:like></div><div class="blog-social-item"><a class="twitter-share-button" href="http://twitter.com/share?url=http://thepointersisters.com/3/post/2022/09/im-so-excited-turns-40.html" data-text=""I'm So Excited" turns 40! - thepointersisters.com" data-count="horizontal"></a></div> 1507 <div style="clear:both"></div> 1508 </div> 1509 1510 1511 <div class="blog-comments-bottom"> 1512 1513 </div> 1514 1515 <div class="blog-post-separator"></div> 1516 </div> <div id="blog-post-649763048934487385" class="blog-post"> 1517 1518 1519 <div class="blog-header"> 1520 <h2 class="blog-title"> 1521 <a class="blog-title-link blog-link" href="//thepointersisters.com/news/want-to-learn-more-about-the-pointer-sisters-read-fairytale-the-pointer-sisters-family-story-and-still-so-excited-my-l
