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.
