Rock and Roll Trivia

Clue 1:  This family group recorded for 7 different record labels over their illustrious career, garnering 3 Grammy awards and 2 dozen Top 40 hits along the way.

Clue 2:  Their lead singer was 7 when she won a grand prize on the Ted Mack Amateur hour, and they were touring nationally with Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson before she was 13. 

Clue 3:  They were the first to chart with a record that 6 different acts would take to the Hot 100.  Their version spent three weeks at #2, but Marvin Gaye’s would spend 7 weeks at #1.  Even the California Raisins managed to take it to #84 in 1988 – and they were made of clay!

Trivia Answer

A:  GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS were the first to chart with "I Heard It Through the Grapevine".  The Pips originally consisted of Gladys and her brother, sister, and two cousins.  After her sister and one cousin left the group, two other cousins joined.  (Congratulations to Ed, this week's winner!)
