None other than Atlanta's own
Gladys Knight & the Pips!!!
Gladys Knight & The Pips were an R&B/soul family musical act from Atlanta, Georgia, active from 1953 to 1989. The group was best known for their string of hit singles on Motown's "Soul" record label and Buddah Records from 1967 to 1975, including "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (1967) and "Midnight Train to Georgia" (1973). The longest-lived incarnation of the act featured Gladys Knight on lead vocals, with The Pips, who included her brother Merald "Bubba" Knight and their cousins Edward Patten and William Guest, as backup singers.

LEGENDS!!!
I saw Gladys perform a couple of years ago at the Hollywood Bowl. It was the night of her 70th birthday and she still had it. She's coming back again this season and I'm hoping to get tix again.
