Gladys Knight Foxtrots for the Pips
For her Personal Challenge, Gladys Knight recalls her first nationwide tour with The Pips at the tender age of 13 as she received a musical education from the likes of Jackie Wilson, James Brown and Sam Cooke. Gladys’ partner, Tristan McManus, choreographs a foxtrot set to the tune of Cook’s “Cupid” as tribute to that era of the soul singer’s life. The dance is a hit with the judges who describe it as “sensual,” “soulful” and “fluid” and give her 8s all across the board for a total of 24.
