Hello! I realize that this is an old post, but I just recently found this site. The Pointer Sisters (w/o Bonnie) did record "You got me Hummin'", it was in the movie "Two If By Sea" and can be found on that soundtrack. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, your suggestion of Bonnie Pointer makes a lot of sense and may also explain who some of the others are. I'll have to refresh my memory on the vocal nuances of The Pointer Sisters and do a comparison to confirm. I suspect you are right, though.

Do you recall if they recorded "You Got Me Hummin" on any of those Blue Thumb LPs?

Also curious for functionality sake-- did you mean to post your reply in our original thread or was this new one intentionally out of that thread?

Thanks again, MrBB

Mr . BB , Thanx for the insightful reply to my letter Fillmore West Closing Week 2 . You asked for information on a jam session that occured that week . As I mentioned in that letter , I listened to the shows on K-SAN all week . So , the best I can give you is an educated speculation . I'm speculating that Bonnie may be Bonnie Pointer of The Pointer Sisters . I remember The Pointer Sisters playing the venues in the bay area frequently in the early seventies . I still have copies of their first three albums on Blue Thumb Records . The first two were studio albums recorded in 1973 & 1974 at Wally Heiders studios in San Francisco . The third album was a live album recorded at The Opera House in San Francisco - April 21 ,1974 . On May 20 ,1972 , I attended a concert at Winterland that featured Dave Mason , Tower of Power , Copperhead & Herbie Hancock Sextet which The Pointer Sisters sang background vocals for Dave Mason . That's my education in this speculation .Hope I helped , and I'm logging into the Concert Vault forum daily for updates . Thanx .
