FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
MUSIC NIGHT for the Saturday music thread Fabulous FRiday presents Gladys Knight Gladys Marie Knight Born May 28, 1944 In Atlanta, Georgia.
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.
Gladys Knight & the Pips joined the Motown roster in 1966, and, although regarded as a second-string act, scored several hit singles.

Success
Knight and the Pips continued to have hits until the late 1970s, when they were forced to record separately due to legal issues. Knight's first solo LP recordings--Miss Gladys Knight (1978) on Buddah and Gladys Knight (1979) on Columbia Records.
TRIVIA: In their early Motown career Gladys Knight and the Pips toured as the opening act for Diana Ross and The Supremes. Gladys Knight stated in her memoirs that Ross kicked her off the tour because the audience's reception to Knight's soulful performance overshadowed her. Berry Gordy later told Gladys that she was giving his act a hard time. The name Pips came from a cousin, James "Pip" Woods.
Knight has been married four times and given birth to three children. In 1987, Knight decided to pursue a solo career, and she and the Pips recorded their final LP together, All Our Love (1987)
In October 2009, Gladys started her farewell tour of the United Kingdom which featured Tito Jackson as her supporting act and special appearances by Dionne Warwick.

Remember, the Canteen is a family friendly place. We welcome the military, our allies, and their families. Continued prayers for the success and completion of your mission. Prayers for your safe return home.

I stopped surfing just after I posted last night. I didn’t have to work last night, but went to a wild fire safety meeting.
