although its sultry style recalls the pointer sisters' first american top-ten hit, the 1978 number two hit "fire", "slow hand" was not written for the group; in fact john bettis would state "the pointer sisters were the furthest [act] from [the composers'] minds." however producer richard perry "knew 'slow hand' [would be] an instant smash [hit]...that...would recapitulate and expand on the intimacy [of] 'fire'." like "fire"—which also featured anita pointer on lead—"slow hand" peaked at number two on the "billboard" hot 100 for 3 weeks, behind "endless love" by diana ross and lionel richie. "slow hand" reached that position in august 1981 when it also reached number seven on the hot r&b/hip-hop songs chart. "slow hand" was ranked in the top 25 best singles of the year by "the village voice" pazz & jop poll.
