He was 7 years older than I am. So if he was performing with Gladys Knight and the Pips in 1953, he started at age 12. And Gladys would have been 9.
Precocious Pips!
Apparently, the whole thing started as a family gospel group. So I guess the ages are plausible for them, but it wasn't Gladys Knight and the Pips in 1953.
