the 27th annual event year is no exception. Indeed, the
great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one
of the greatest. Very few singers over the last 50 years
have matched her unassailable artistry. She is a seven-
time Grammy winner who has enjoyed No. 1 hits in pop,
gospel, R&B and adult contemporary, and she has also
triumphed in film, television and live performance, as well
as a philanthropy and humanitarianism.
A native of Georgia, Knight began her singing career
with her siblings at age eight, in a group called the “Pips.”
The group opened for R&B legends in the 1950s, then
headed to Motown and crossed over to pop music. As
“Gladys Knight & The Pips,” they recorded their signature
song, Midnight Train to Georgia. Other group and solo
hits include: I Who Have Nothing, Where My Heart
Belongs, That’s What Friends Are For, Every Beat Of My
Heart, and I Heard It Through The Grapevine.
Knight left the Pips behind in 1989 and has continued to
perform and record as a solo artist. Her incredible talent and
staying power caused those in the public and the industry to
call her the “Empress of Soul.” In 1995, she earned her star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the next year, Gladys
Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall
of Fame. She published an autobiography, Between Each
Line of Pain and Glory (a line taken from her million-selling
recording Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me), in 1997
and the next year, she and The Pips were presented with the
Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall
of Fame. In 2004, she received the “Lifetime Achievement
Award” at the annual BET Awards ceremony.
Dana Carvey is the Emmy-Award winning actor and
comedian who is best known for his iconic and indelible
Saturday Night Live characters – most memorably Church
Lady; Grumpy Old Man; Hans, of the Hans and Franz Hannah’s Home on page 3
body building duo; and, of course, Garth – Mike Myer’s
“excellent co-host” on the classic sketch turned feature
film, Wayne’s World.
He has received much praise for his uncanny comedic
impersonations of American political figures (popular with
both audiences and the subjects of his impersonations),
including the elder George Bush, Ross Perot, Jerry Brown,
and Bob Dole. In addition to Wayne’s World, his films
include This is Spinal Tap, Opportunity Knocks, and The
Secret Life of Pets (both the original and sequel).
In 2016, Carvey appeared as the expert-in-residence
on USA Network’s comedic half-hour series First
Impressions. His Netflix special Straight White Male,
60 was released in 2016, to much acclaim. In addition
to his Emmy Award and six Emmy nominations, he has
been honored twice with The American Comedy Award
as Television’s Funniest Supporting Male.
