Never heard of her. I have, however, heard of Anita Pointer, who has also passed away.
Nothing makes me feel older and more out of touch than every time a rapper I don't know dies.

Yes, I was saying I've never heard of Gangsta Boo. Obviously I'm very aware of who the Pointer Sisters are.
Yes, you made that very clear and I didn't mean to give the impression otherwise--sorry if I did.  The reason I gave the sistah's R&B/pop credentials and Oakland, Ca. background was to contrast it with the eyebrow-raising "Oaktown girls gone country" FYI.

followup:
while the Pointer Sister's pop candy "I'm So Excited" and "Jump" hits come to mind, give a 20-30 sec. listen to this classic C&W 'weepy pedal steel' studio version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97hb_LI7KNc

or a halfway listen to this 'live' version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQWgKvvbT1g

bonus tracks: the girls covered by a once-great pill-popping drunk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yswfyPEBtFM

Whoa, I was just listening to "What Makes This Song Stinks" and it was about his nephew, Tal Bachman.

RIP, b-b-b-baby.
