Love for What It Is is the only studio album by Anita Pointer, released in 1987 on the RCA label.[3]
The album was released on RCA Records in 1987, by the time Pointer was still in the Pointer Sisters. The album spawned a single, "Overnight Success",[4] which peaked at No. 41 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart.[5][6] It peaked at No. 12 on Jet's Top 20 singles.[7][8] It appeared at No. 97 on the Top Black Singles chart in 1987.[9] Another single, "More Than A Memory", released in 1988, peaked at No. 73 on the same chart.[6][5] The Chicago Tribune noted, "the album reaffirms its basic theme, whether it's the music, graceful, melodic, gospel-tinged soul without the brittle pop edge of more recent Pointer Sisters' outings".[10]
