"Slow Hand" is a ballad written by John Bettis and Michael Clark and recorded by The Pointer Sisters. It was first released in the spring of 1981 as the advance single for ''Black & White''. ==Background and impact== Although its sultry style recalls the Pointer Sisters' first top ten hit, the 1978 number 2 hit "Fire", "Slow Hand" was not written for the group; in fact John Bettis would state "the Pointer Sisters were the furthest () from (composers' ) minds."〔''Billboard'' vol. 93 #33 (22 August 1981) p.〕 Like "Fire"—which also featured Anita Pointer on lead—"Slow Hand" peaked at number 2 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for 3 weeks, behind "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. "Slow Hand" reached that position in August 1981 when it also reached number 7 on the R&B chart. The Pointer Sisters' best Hot 100 showing would remain number 2 throughout their career. "Slow Hand" also afforded the Pointer Sisters international success, including the first appearance by the group in the UK top 10. The track was ranked in the top 25 best singles of the year by ''The Village Voice'' Pazz & Jop poll. "Slow Hand" was not the first song recorded by the sisters to have a country feel. In 1974 the group wrote and recorded the breakthrough track Fairytale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slow Hand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
