The Pips (Without Gladys Knight) On The Richard Pryor Show
Today's video lunch is a classic 1977 television moment from the short-lived Richard Pryor Show where The Pips grab a few moments of full spotlight as they perform their song and dance parts of a two-hit medley (Heard It Through The Grapevine & Midnight Train To Georgia) without the interference of Gladys Knight. Pay attention to the empty microphone close ups. Comic gold.
