A cover of "Yes We Can" re-titled "Yes We Can 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 Can" was one of the songs the Pointer Sisters recorded as a demo while they were seeking a label deal. ==Personnel==
