In a matter of timing BET aired an episode of American Soul a couple of days after Bonnie Pointer passed away. The episode focused on the Pointer Sisters (including Bonnie) and the drama they had during their appearance on Soul Train. Apparently June (bless her soul) was messing around with a married man. According to the show the married man showed up with his wife at a club where the group was performing. Let's just say things did not turn out well for the married man.

My condolences to the Pointer family. I wish them well.
