The Pointer Sisters - "Should I Do It"
from the album Black & White (1981)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #13 (two weeks)

1982 marked the middle of a relatively quieter period for the vocal group the Pointer Sisters in between the top-5 pop success of hits like "He's So Shy" and Springsteen cover "Fire" in the late seventies, and their top-10 streak in the mid-80's. "Should I Do It" was the fourth single release from their Black & White LP, and the only followup to #2 hit "Slow Hand" to make a dent on the pop chart. It was extra-pristinely produced with a jangly 60's girl-group retro sheen that was hip on adult contemporary radio at the time. Fluffy maybe, but entertainingly fluffy, as their voices blend so damn well together that they sell it.
