LOS ANGELES (AP) William Guest, a member of Gladys Knight and the Pips, has died. He was 74.
Guest's sister-in-law, Dhyana Ziegler, said he died Thursday in Detroit of congestive heart failure.
Guest performed throughout the lifespan of the Grammy-winning group from 1953 to 1989. He performed background vocals on hits such as "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and "Midnight Train to Georgia."
"My heart is broken, but I know his legacy will live on," said Guest's daughter, Monique Guest, in a statement.
