*Gladys Knight has reportedly teamed up with Cineflix Productions to executive produce a series about her life and legendary career.
The music icon is developing the project through her Empress of Soul Productions banner, Deadline reports. The outlet writes that the series “could run similar to The Crown, taking on different periods of Knight’s life.”
Cineflix Productions previously worked with Smokey Robinson on the Lifetime movie “Miracle in Motor City.”
Gladys Knight and The Pips signed with Berry Gordy’s Motown label in 1966 and would go on to release a slew of hits including “Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye).” When the group signed with Buddah Records, they recorded the chart-toppers “Midnight Train to Georgia” and “I’ve Got To Use My Imagination.”
