A cover of "Yes We can" target="_blank">Can" re-titled "Yes We can" target="_blank">Can can" target="_blank">Can" was recorded by The Pointer Sisters. It was producer David Rubinson's suggestion that the Pointer Sisters record the song. As Rubinson said, "I loved almost everything Allen Toussaint ever wrote," and "Yes We can" target="_blank">Can can" target="_blank">Can" was one of the songs the Pointer Sisters recorded as a demo while they were seeking a label deal.
"Yes We can" target="_blank">Can can" target="_blank">Can" was one of the first tracks the group cut in fall 1972 for their debut album. Its basic track was recorded at Pacific Recording Studio in San Francisco. The sessions were eventually moved to Studio A of Wally Heider Recording Studio in San Francisco, and Rubinson is unclear as to whether or not further recording for "Yes We can" target="_blank">Can can" target="_blank">Can" was done there.
Released in February 1973, the song became the Pointers' first hit single, reaching number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 12 on the Hot Soul Singles chart.
