Gladys Knight & the Pips have been together since 1952. They were performing on the road with Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson before Gladys was thirteen. Among their numerous hits over the years are “Neither One of Us” (wants to be the first to say goodbye) and “Midnight Train to Georgia.” Their first hit came in 1961 before Gladys got top billing. “Every Beat of My Heart” was released on three different labels. On Vee Jay and Fury Records, the single is worth nor more than $25.00. But on Huntom Records, where it lists the artists only as the Pips, the value jumps up to $800.00.
