DEF: The Pointer Sisters “Automatic”

The Pointer Sisters‘ 1983 album Break Out was the most successful album of the Oakland, California-based group’s career in terms of success on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, as four singles from the album reached the Top 10. On this date in 1984, the first of those singles — “Automatic” — reached a peak position of number 5, where it would spend one week. Today, “Automatic” by The Pointer Sisters is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
