Even though I hadn't heard the song in decades, the upcoming Independence Day holiday must have made me recall the enjoyable 1982 Pointer Sisters hit, "American Music," yesterday and keep it in mind since then. I don't remember it being played on the radio, aside from when it was a hit, so I was surprised that it sprang to mind recently.
Its steady beat and upbeat outlook make it a pleasant tune to remember. The lyrics reassure listeners that popular artists and songs will change over time, but there will always be good music to enjoy.
Now that I've just listened to it, I should refresh my memory of the group's other strong hits, such as "Jump (For My Love)," "Automatic," and "I'm So Excited." I don't hear their music on the radio as often as I did during the '80s, but listening to "American Music" again reminded me that they recorded a lot of respectable hits.
