My last battle, as you might recall, was between two songs named "Operator," one by Brenda Holloway and the other by Gladys Knight & The Pips. Really wasn’t much of a contest…
Brenda Holloway: 8
Gladys Knight & The Pips: 3
Congratulations to Brenda Holloway and a hearty "well done!" to Glays Knight & The Pips.
Be with us once again next Wednesday, January 15, for another fun-filled and exciting Battle of the Bands!
This outcome came as no surprise to me. I like Gladys Knight & The Pips, and I don’t think I’d even heard of Brenda Holloway before, but I thought that Brenda’s was very clearly the smooth-er operator.

I think Gladys had a couple of things working against her: it was one of their first records, and it was on a lesser label that probably didn’t have the equipment that Motown did. By the time Brenda released her song, Gladys and The Pips were on Motown, too.

I’m surprised Gladys got so few votes but I’m glad Brenda won

My guess is that Brenda’s was that much better.

Whoa! I guess we voters put a decisive end to that Battle! I think the outcome was the right one, but it was my outcome so I was biased.
