Details
Gladys Knight began singing with her siblings at age 8, calling themselves "the Pips." The group opened for R&B legends in the 1950s, then headed to Motown and crossed over to pop music. As Gladys Knight and the Pips, they recorded their signature song, "Midnight Train to Georgia." Knight left the Pips behind in 1989, and continued to perform and record as a solo artist. Today, she's known fondly as the "Empress of Soul."
Comedian - Ruben Quintana:
Ruben Quintana, is one of the Godfathers of Latino stand-up comedy. His charismatic smile and old school style earned him numerous television appearances and the privilege of being one of the first Latinos to ever perform on BET's Comic View. Photos attached for opening comedian.
