Neither One of Us (album)

Neither One of Us is the ninth studio album by American R&B quartet Gladys Knight & the Pips, released in early 1973 (see 1973 in music) by Motown Records on the Soul Records label.

The label released the album shortly after the group left the label for Buddah Records while the title track was rising up the charts. That song eventually peaked at No. 2 on the US Pop Charts, and reached the top spot on the R&B Charts. Motown issued another single, "Daddy Could Swear, I Declare", in April of the year. "Daddy" was a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 19, and nearly topped the Soul Charts as well, peaking at No. 2. By that point, the group had released their first Buddah single, "Where Peaceful Waters Flow".

Neither One of Us became the band's most successful album on the Billboard Top LPs chart, peaking at number nine (it would later be tied by their 1973 album Imagination). It also topped the Top Soul LPs chart. Following the success of this album and the group's commercial acclaim at Buddah, Motown released three more albums of unreleased material.
