“Friendship Train” #17 12/27/1969

A socially conscious track from Gladys Knight and the Pips. They were working frequently with Norman Whitfield, who was also producing the Temptations and their social commentaries on record. Gladys said in her autobiography that the Temps, the Supremes and Marvin Gaye were getting all the A-list songs while the other Motown acts got the scraps. She would leave the label in a few years.
