In 1985, THE POINTER SISTERS had their highest charting U.S. Top 40 smash with the single DARE ME, which, continues to be a classic on the dance floor till today, thanks to the revival by DAVE ARMSTRONG which gave the catchy chorus such a refreshing return to dance floor... Enjoy.
BABY MAKE YOUR MOVE
STEP ACROSS THE LINE
TOUCH ME ONE MORE TIME
COME ON, DARE ME
I WANNA TAKE YOU ON
I KNOW I CAN'T LOSE
I'LL BE LOVING YOU
IF YOU JUST
JUST, DARE ME!

The last big American hit for the sisters, "Dare Me" reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, #6 on the Hot Singles and Top 5 on both the Dance Singles and Club Play charts.
Despite just missing the top 10, the single went gold in the U.S. and earned the Pointers a nomination for best Group/Duo for "Dare Me" and the album it came from ("Contact")... had they won the Grammy that year, they would have been the only artist in history to win Grammys in R, Country ("Fairytale"), and Pop ("Jump (For My Love)" and "Automatic.")
Ashford & Simpson got the Grammy that year for "Solid", but "Dare Me" may have won in the long run, having become a cult fave and the source for two big 2004 mainstream club hits: Dave Armstrong sampled/ reconstructed it as "Make Your Move," using original vocals and Junior Jack covered/reconstructed it as "Stupidisco," but without the Sisters' original vocals.
