Gladys Knight Biography
The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Since beginning her career in gospel music at age four, and subsequently winning Ted Mack's Amateur Hour at age seven, Knight has been a pivotal figure in the music industry. This seven-time Grammy winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop, Gospel, R&B, and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performance. Over the years, she also formed "Gladys Knight & The Pips," achieving numerous hits like “Every Beat of My Heart,” “Guess Who?” and “Letter Full of Tears.”
In fall of 2015, Knight released her first mainstream dance record in nearly two decades, “Just A Little,” from her twelfth studio album, showcasing her enduring influence in the music scene. The album “Where My Heart Belongs,” released in September 2014, embraced her gospel roots and won an NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Gospel Album.”
Her significant contributions to the entertainment industry include her role in the HBO special "Sisters in the Name of Love" alongside Dionne Warwick and Patti LaBelle in 1986, receiving widespread acclaim. Knight's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, awarded in 1995, and the induction of Gladys Knight & The Pips into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame in 1996, further cement her legacy. Her autobiography, "Between Each Line of Pain and Glory," published in 1997, offers an intimate look at her illustrious career and personal life.
Knight's involvement in film and television remains robust with roles in various TV series and movies, alongside her music career. Her successful singles such as “I Who Have Nothing” and film contributions, including the song “You and I Ain't Nothin’ No More” from THE BUTLER, demonstrate her versatile talents. Additionally, Knight's participation in reality TV, including season 14 of "Dancing with the Stars," and her role as a judge on "Apollo Live," showcases her broad appeal and commitment to mentoring new talents.
Knight's humanitarian efforts include her work with the American Diabetes Association, reflecting her dedication to philanthropy alongside her artistic career. She has been an iconic supporter of several causes including the Boys & Girls Club of America and has received numerous awards from organizations like the NAACP for her service and advocacy.
Today, Knight, along with her husband William and other family members, oversees her multifaceted career from Las Vegas. This extraordinary singer, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist continues to inspire and impact the world, not only through her music but through her extensive philanthropic work, ensuring her legacy endures across multiple fields.
