CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


#323 DARE ME Pointer Sisters
On their 1985 album 'Contact', The Pointer Sisters returned to the dance well that had been so lucrative for the trio during the 1980s. "Dare Me" was its lead single. It was co-written by Dave Innis with Sam Lorber. The latter has also written songs recorded by Kenny Rogers, George Benson and Lobo. Richard Perry produced the Pointer Sisters' recording of "Dare Me".
The single reached #11 Pop in the US and became the girl group's sole #1 on the Dance Chart. On the British chart, the disc peaked at #17. The single made the Top 10 in Australia and Ireland. While "Dare Me" proved to be The Pointer Sisters' last major Pop hit, on  the US Dance Chart, the trio reached #15 with "Twist My Arm" and #7 with "Goldmine" b/w "Sexual Power". Their last entry was the #11 hit "Insanity" in 1990.  

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new songs are added each day (every 12 hours)  with a mid-week bonus every Wednesday.
