Which girl group won the 1975 Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group?

The Pointer Sisters won the 1975 Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

Their winning song was “Fairytale,” a country-leaning recording written by Anita and Bonnie Pointer. The award was notable because the Pointer Sisters were primarily associated with a broad mixture of R&B, pop, funk, jazz and country influences rather than a single genre.

“Fairytale” also became a crossover success. The group’s musical versatility helped them move between styles throughout their career, and later hits such as “He’s So Shy,” “Jump (For My Love)” and “Neutron Dance” reached pop audiences.

The award is often confused with later country-vocal honors won by groups such as the Judds or the Dixie Chicks. In 1975, the Pointer Sisters were the winners in this Grammy category, making the fact especially notable in the history of crossover girl-group recordings.
