A hit in the summer of 1984, this energetic love song got a nice boost from the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. The video shows various leaping athletes competing in events like the long jump, high jump and triple jump. Without using any actual Olympic footage, it tied in nicely to the games. The Pointer Sisters, who were more of a retro-R&B group in the '70s, adapted well to the '80s with upbeat keyboard-driven songs like this one.
June Pointer sang lead on this one. She and her sisters Anita and Ruth spread out the lead vocals equitably so none were consistently the lead singer. Another sister, Bonnie, left the group a few years earlier.
"Jump (For My Love)" was written by Steve Mitchell, Marti Sharron and Gary Skardina. That team also wrote "Dangerous" for Natalie Cole.
