Merald Woodlow "Bubba" Knight, Jr. (born September 4, 1942) is an American R&B/soul singer, best known as a member of Gladys Knight & the Pips.[1] The older brother of lead singer Gladys Knight,[2] Bubba Knight served as the unofficial leader of the family group, and was instrumental in handling the Pips' business matters. "Gladys Knight & The Pips" evolved out of The Pips.[3]

The original Pips formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1952, with Gladys, Bubba, sister Brenda, plus cousins Eleanor and William Guest singing supper-club material during the week, and gospel music on Sundays.[4][5] Knight is a multiple Grammy Award winner, and he was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Gladys Knight & the Pips in 1996.[5]
