Miller--who in an unprecedented union show of support, had backed the strikers with $100 per week of strike pay for over a year--called for a five-day nationwide mines shutdown, and led a rally of several thousand miners from across the nation in a parade through Harlan's streets...

But whether she comes in singing sassy, sly or riding on velvet, Gladys Knight is a marvel of emotional energy. Behind her the three Pips-Brother Merald and Cousins William Guest and Edward Patten-walk, run, shuffle, tap in staccato choreographic counterpoint.
