Gladys Knight


At first, singing was just a hobby for Gladys Knight. That notion, however, eventually changed when she, her siblings, and her cousins decided to form the music group, The Pips. Since then, Gladys has had a successful career, both as a member of The Pips and as a solo artist. Outside the music scene, the singer also made some investments in other endeavors, such as appearing in shows like The Jamie Foxx Show, The First Family, and The Jeffersons.

Along the way, Gladys also had the chance to compete in Dancing with the Stars’ 14th season. Although she didn’t win the trophy, it’s safe to say that the singer won something much more valuable – newfound friends and, of course, a healthier physique. Thanks to the new diet plan and exercise routines she learned, Gladys lost an impressive 60 pounds by the time she left the competition.
