With the success of their follow-up, "Letter Full Of Tears", Fury released their first album.
Both labels issued different versions of the song, with the Vee Jay/Huntom version outselling the Fury remake. At the same time, the group signed with Bobby Robinson's Fury label. In 1961 the group recorded "Every Beat Of My Heart" on the tiny Atlanta Huntom label, which was picked up by Vee Jay. By the end of the decade, the act had begun to tour, and had replaced Brenda Knight and Eleanor Guest with Gladys Knight's cousin Edward Patten and friend Langston George. The following year, she, her brother Merald, sister Brenda, and cousins William and Elenor Guest formed a musical group called the Pips (named after another cousin, James "Pip" Woods). She first achieved minor fame by winning Ted Mack's The Original Amateur Hour TV show contest at the age of seven in 1952. She has a sister, Brenda, and one living brother, Merald, Jr. Knight was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the daughter of Merald Woodlow Knight, Sr., a postal worker and Sarah Elizabeth (née Woods).
A seven-time Grammy Award-winner, Knight is best known for the hits she recorded during the 1960s and 1970s, for both the Motown and Buddah Records labels, with her group Gladys Knight & the Pips, which included her brother Merald "Bubba" Knight and her cousins Edward Patten and William Guest. Gladys Maria Knight (born May 28, 1944), known as the "Empress of Soul", is an American singer, songwriter and actress.
