One of the great soul singers, Gladys Knight was a performer from her childhood years, forming the Pips with her brother Merald and a couple cousins. They made the Top Ten in 1961 with the heavily doo wop-influenced "Every Beat of My Heart," and recorded some fine, nowadays overlooked, pop-soul sides for the Fury and Maxx labels in the early and mid-'60s, sometimes under the direction of songwriter Van McCoy. A couple singles from this period, "Letter Full of Tears" and "Giving Up," made the Top 40, but Knight didn't hit her commercial stride until she moved to Motown in 1966. Steeped in the gospel tradition, like so many soul singers, Knight & the Pips developed into one of Motown's most dependable acts, although they never quite scaled the commercial or artistic heights of fellow stars on the label like the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and the Temptations. With Norman Whitfield providing the production and much of the songwriting, the Pips fit into the mainstream of Motown's machine well, scoring big hits with some rabble-rousers (like "Friendship Train" and the original version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"), mainstream mid-tempo soul ("It Should Have Been Me" and "The End of Our Road"), and smooth ballads like "If I Were Your Woman."
Artist Biography - Gladys Knight
In 1974, the group performed Curtis Mayfield's soundtrack songs for the movie Claudine; and the following year the title track of I Feel A Song gave them another soul number 1. Their smoother approach was epitomized by the medley of "The Way We Were/Try To Remember" which was the centerpiece of Second Anniversary in 1975 - the same year that saw Gladys and the group host their own US television series. Gladys made her acting debut in Pipedream in 1976, for which the group recorded a soundtrack album. Legal problems then dogged their career until the end of the decade, forcing Knight and the Pips to record separately until they could sign a new contract with CBS Records. About Love in 1980 teamed them with the Ashford And Simpson writing/production partnership, and produced a strident piece of R&B social comment in "Bourgie Bourgie". Subsequent releases alternated between the group's R&B and MOR modes, and hits such as "Save The Overtime (For Me)" and "You're Number One In My Book" (1983) and, after a move to MCA Records, "Love Overboard" demonstrated that they could work equally well in either genre. The latter song earned them a Grammy Award for the Best R&B performance in early 1989.
Following this, Knight and the Pips split. Merald remained with Gladys Knight when she achieved a UK Top 10 that year with the James Bond movie song "Licence To Kill", and released A Good Woman the following year. Her subsequent work has alternated between gospel and mainstream pop. She collaborated with Chaka Khan, Brandy and Tamia on the minor hit "Missing You" in 1996, taken from the Queen Latifah movie Set It Off.
While still with The Pips, Knight also joined with Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John on the 1986 AIDS benefit single, "That's What Friends Are For". In 1989, Gladys Knight recorded the title track for the James Bond movie Licence to Kill.
Gladys Knight's third solo LP was Good Woman, released in 1991 and featuring the #2 R&B hit "men". Her fourth solo LP, Just for You, went gold and was nominated for the 1995 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. Her 2001 LP, At Last, won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance.
Knight joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1997. She has occasionally teased the LDS Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley, that his flock needs to inject some "pep" into their music. Ms. Knight created and now directs the LDS (Mormon) choir Saints Unified Voices. SUV has released a CD entitled One Voice, and occasionally performs at LDS stake firesides.
