Some day I will stop posting Youtube videos of Motown

But that day is not today.

Q. Do you know that in the group name Gladys Knight and the Pips. P.I.Ps is actually an acronym? Do you know what it stands for?

P.S. Do not be confused or mislead by the elfish costumes in this video



If I were your woman. Gladys. Soul Label. 1970.

Answer: Pips stands for Perfection in Performance(s)

Motown loved acronyms and shortening names. Here are a few examples

Jobete - motown's publishing company was short for JOy BErry and TErry. (Berry Gordy's three oldest childen).

Brianbert - song writing team made of of Brian Holland and Robert oooh i forget.

ah...you get the point. THanks for reading my blog!
