"How Long (Betcha Got a Chick on the Side)" is a funk classic by American family girl group the Pointer Sisters, released as the first single from their "Steppin'" album in 1975. The song's mixture of funky R&B with the sisters' soulful harmonies and melodies helped make this song a standout early song in the group's catalog. The song was a huge hit for the group, reaching number twenty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming their first and only number-one single on the U.S. Hot Soul Singles chart, where it stayed for two weeks.
Cover versions
The song's chorus would be sampled famously by the hip hop trio Salt-n-Pepa a decade later on their 1986 song "Chick on the Side". Moreover, Queen Latifah covered the song for her 2007 album "Trav'lin' Light".
