Miniseries On Life Of Gladys Knight In The Works

At 78, the woman who stood in front of the Pips all those years is ready to tell her story. And she claims there's a lot you don't know about her music and her career.

"Her personal life will also provide rich stories; Knight has been married four times and has three children. Her husbands have included Atlanta musician James Newman; Barry Hankerson, uncle of Aaliyah; former Ohio Congressman Les Brown; and William McDowell. She had a gambling addiction during the 1980s and one of her sons was kidnapped, leading her to spend over a million dollars to have him returned."  

"It’s suggested that the project could run similar to [i]The Crown
, taking on different periods of Knight’s life."[/i]


One thing's for sure if it gets made - it will have a terrific soundtrack!

Re: Miniseries On Life Of Gladys Knight In The Works

Michael Williams (Much Music) did an excellent interview with Ms Knight.
No nonsense.  She called out the corrupt music business including radio. A shame all that MM content is not available, would love to see Jeanne Beker's interview with Roy Buchanan again.
