  • Description

    A milestone for long-running hitmakers Gladys Knight & the Pips, 2nd Anniversary was their fourth studio album recorded for the Buddah Records label. It was released in October of 1975 and spawned two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles with Money and Part Time Love. It was also their fourth consecutive Gold album, after their previous releases on the Buddah label: Imagination (1973), Claudine (1974) and I Feel a Song (1974). Knight and the Pips largest success came after they signed with Motown in 1966. Their top-40 hit Everybody Needs Love, was followed by the breakthrough success of I Heard It Through the Grapevine, which became a numbertwo pop hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and a number-one R&B hit for six weeks. The record sold 2.5 million copies, and at the time was Motown s best-selling single ever. In late 1968, Grapevine would become an even bigger hit for Marvin Gaye, whose version, recorded before Knight s but released a year afterward, was a number-one pop hit for seven weeks. Knight and the Pips departed Motown for Buddah Records in 1973. Knight later complained that she and the Pips were regarded as a second-string act, and that Diana [Ross] & the Supremes, The Temptations, and Marvin Gaye were given the best songs, while we took the leftovers. In Knight s autobiography she alleged that Diana Ross had the group removed from being The Supremes opening act on a 1966 tour for being too good.
