1:GLADYS KNIGHT began her singing career at age 4. Since that modest start, she went on to lead one of the most successful vocal soul groups in America, "Gladys Knight and The Pips." The group stayed together for 39 years before disbanding.Among, the group's most notable songs include: "I Heard It Through The Grapevine," "Neither One of Us," and Midnight Train to Georgia." Knight has launched a solo career since. Terry interviewed Knight before a "live" audience in San Francisco earlier this year.
