LOS ANGELES (AP) 繝サJune Pointer, the youngest of the singing Pointer
Sisters known for the 1970s and 1980s hits I'm So Excited, Fire, and
Slow Hand, has died, her family said Wednesday. She was 52.

Pointer died of cancer Tuesday at Santa Monica University of
California, Los Angeles, Medical Center, the family said in a
statement. She had been hospitalized since late February and the type
of cancer wasn't disclosed.

She died "in the arms of her sisters, Ruth and Anita and her
brothers, Aaron and Fritz, by her side," the family statement
read. "Although her sister, Bonnie, was unable to be present, she was
with her in spirit."

The Pointer Sisters began as a quartet in the early 1970s with
sisters Ruth, Anita, Bonnie and June. The group became a trio when
Bonnie embarked on a solo career.

The group's hits also included He's So Shy, Automatic and Jump (For
My Love).

The sisters, along with their two older brothers, grew up singing in
the choir of an Oakland church where their parents were ministers.
Bonnie and June formed a singing duo and began performing in clubs
around the San Francisco Bay area. Anita and Ruth later joined the
group and together, they sang backup for Taj Mahal, Boz Scaggs and
Elvin Bishop, among others.

Their first, self-titled album, The Pointer Sisters, debuted in 1973
and the song Yes We Can Can became their first hit. They followed up
with the album That's A Plenty, which featured an eclectic mix of
musical styles ranging from jazz to country and pop. They won the
first of their three Grammy awards in 1974 for best country vocal
performance by a group for the song Fairytale.

Bonnie left the group in 1977, and the sisters recorded several more
albums, scoring several hit songs that became identified as the
soundtrack of the 1980s.

The successful 1984 album Break Out earned two Grammy awards for the
songs Automatic and Jump (For My Love). The album's other hit song,
Neutron Dance, was prominently featured in the movie Beverly Hills
Cop.

June recorded two solo albums, and later left the trio.

Anita and Ruth still perform under the group's name. Ruth's daughter,
Issa Pointer, is the trio's newest member.

Two years ago, June Pointer was charged with felony cocaine
possession and misdemeanor possession of a smoking device. She was
ordered to a rehabilitation facility.

Funeral arrangements were incomplete.
