3 Pips and Gladys
2 Live Crew
and Tom Waits in a treeeeee!
Gladys Knight and the Pips. A soul and R&B family group out of Atlanta, GA featuring Gladys Knight, her brother Merald "Bubba" Knight, and her cousins, William Guest and Edward Patten. Berry Gordy, Motown founder, discovered them in 1966 in Harlem's Apollo Theater. They were signed onto Motown's Soul label that year.
The group's most well-known hits include Midnight Train to Georgia (1973), Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye), and an uptempo version of Marvin Gaye's I Heard it Through the Grapevine.
The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Gladys continues to perform, sometimes sans Pips.
