Gladys Knight was born to Merald Woodlow Knight and Sarah Elizabeth Woods in Loachapoka,
Alabama. She first achieved minor fame by winning Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour TV show
contest at the age of 7 in 1952. The following year, she, her brother Merald, sister Brenda, and
cousins William and Elenor Guest formed a musical group called The Pips, (named after another
cousin, James “Pip” Woods). By the end of the decade, the act had begun to tour, and had replaced
Brenda Knight and Eleanor Guest with Gladys Knight’s cousin Edward Patten and friend Langston
George.
Knight discovered she was pregnant in 1960, and married her high school sweetheart James Newman.
After a miscarriage, Knight returned to performing with the Pips. In 1961, Bobby Robinson produced
the single “Every Beat of My Heart” for the group, which became a #1 R&B and #6 pop hit when
released on Vee-Jay Records. In 1962, Langston George left the group, which at that time renamed
itself Gladys Knight & the Pips and continued as a quartet.
In 1962, after scoring a second hit, “Letter Full of Tears”, Knight became pregnant again and gave
birth to a son, Jimmy III, that year. She retired from the road to raise her child while The Pips toured
on their own. After giving birth in 1963 to a daughter, Kenya, Knight returned to recording with the
Pips in order to support her family.

Gladys certainly belts out this classic Bond theme! What a winner! I was fortunate to see Gladys Knight and the Pips in Manchester UK many years ago when she was overcome by the flowers thrown on stage. What a performer! Time she did another Bond!
