Terri Gibbs was the most popular artist

Miss OP, she wasn’t even that popular in Jawja. WHET? Is she still performing?

She’s #1 on the charts

Which charts, R2? The charts in our hearts?

She had two hits. That's it.

She’s fantastic.

Her shows outsold Madonna’s during the Blond Ambition tour 2:1.

Prince repeatedly begged her to duet for U Got the Look before settling with Sheena Easton.

Somebody’s Knockin’ is currently #4 on Spotify.

Legend.

Dear Diary

Today I learned that The DL has a Terri Gibbs stan.

Huh.

People at school all copied her style. You could walk into any beauty parlor and all for "Terri G.". Life was good

Terri Gibbs is extremely sexy.

That's one low alto on her. Her alto made her one hit sound naughty. "Somebody's knocking/will I let him in/Lord it's the devil/ will you look at him." Naughty!

I like you Terri Gibbs Troll. Do you also like Shelly West? She had a low ass alto as well. Her mama was the late Dottie West.

Somebody’s Knockin lord if it’s the devil go shit on him.

ONJ struck gold after Teri Gibbs bailed on Physical. Teri went so far as to do the video (shot for shot the same as Olivia’s), but afterwards lamented, “How would I know all the fats turned into fags? I’m fucking blind!” And she was out.

Why do blind people always use sight references in their songs?

“Lord it’s the Devil, would you LOOK at him” -Terri

“Girl you’re LOOKING fine tonight” -Jeff Healy

“They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I LOOKED at you” - Stevie Wonder

“You're the meanest old woman that I've ever SEEN” -Ray Charles

I loved Somebody's Knockin' but that was a one-time thing.

Is this what mass psychosis looks like?

Who?!?

She invented aviator sunglasses.

I saw her at Woodstock.

Are we sure that’s not Ronnie Milsap in drag?

She auditioned for the role of Duvay in Starlight Express.

Fun fact: Barbra got the role in Nuts after Terri passed on it. They met years later and had a good laugh over it.

This is such bullshit!

What in the Kate Bush is happening?

What an awful song. Is it a joke? She hasn’t one scintilla of sexual allure! “ Should I let him in?” You’d better!

I thought it was a man at first. Must have been out of the country when she had her hit.

She should have won the Oscar!

She's been on top of the charts for 40 years!

A megastar beyond compare!

Such a phenomenon. So many kid were named Terri that year.

Isn’t she a lezzy?

We had seven competing Terri Gibbs fan clubs at our school. Laurie Paprocki tried to get them all to consolidate.

She’s blind.

R28 [quote] Gibbs married Grovetown, Georgia, city councilman David Daughtry on April 28, 1988, and remained married to him until his death in February 2008. They had one son, David Wayne Daughtry II, born October 20, 1989.

Her son has a nice moose knuckle!

Eat your heart out Barbra and Jason!

Sad story. She actually wasn't born blind. It was the result of an incubator malfunction.

She cosplayed as Robin’s twin but it was made very clear to her that they were and always would be The BROTHERS GIBB

^ I spit my coffee all over my laptop. Thanks!

He must have tapped my telephone line. He must have known I was spending my time alooooooooooooooooooooone (dogs begin howling in unison)

I loved this song as a kid and always thought Ann Murray sang it.

R25 WTF! Terri Gibbs drives - BLIND - in her vehicle while blasting her own music!

Is she post op?

R23 What an awful song. Is it a joke? She hasn’t one scintilla of sexual allure! “ Should I let him in?” You’d better!

Listen pig, Terri Gibbs is an icon! Stop putting her/him down because she’s blind!

So many years that Terri was everywhere. Truly the megastar.

Only Nena came even remotely close to the scope of her hit list and fans.

At least Terri is slowly backing away from the spotlight now to let younger legends have some time in the sun.

“He must have known I’m spending my nights alone”.

At least she had a sense of humor about herself. I’d eat her sons ass.

[quote]She hasn’t one scintilla of sexual allure!

Datalounge, please welcome The Princess Anne!

The son is hot as fuck.

Makes me wonder if the rumors were true about the affair with Ted McGinley during her three-episode arc on Happy Days.

Is the still blind?

*she

Richard Simmons looks good at R33

^^ she does resemble Richard Simmons

She actually sounds great in R33.

[quote]“He must have known I’m spending my nights alone”.

Apparently, his eyes worked.

^^like a man

Terri Gibbs and Ronnie Milsap, both blind, yet, very talented musicians.

Both men

Damn, her son could get it.

R53 Fascinating insight

^ I see what you did there.

I didn't

She is, R8, she's sex on a stick! I wish I could find that famed Playboy spread she did with Bjorn, her seeing-eye dog. I mean, hubba hubba!

Ryan Murphy is leaning toward his next Feud project to be based on the decades-long bitter rivalry between Terri G and her contemporary superstar Lacy J Dalton.

After what happened backstage at the 1982 CMAs, Emmylou Harris forbade either of their names to be uttered in her presence again.

My grandma just told me she has the itch in the left quadrant of her ass to hear some Highway 101

Once known as "The Mame Dennis of Nashville," Terri was a gracious hostess known for her elegant yet relaxed entertaining style. Her country estate, Midnight Under a Skillet, was the scene of many a memorable party.

Never heard of her- and I was paying attention to popular music in the cm 80s.

She had one crossover hit in 1981. Unless you caught it during that summer you’d have to be into country to hear more from her after that

I used to think she was trans.

That's why she titled her hit album "I'm a Lady," R65.

“I’m trans “ by Terri Gibbs

OP is such a trolling turd.

Somebody’s knockin’ on my ass

This is one the most fun threads I’ve seen here. I’d never heard of Ms.Gibbs and so I kept skipping past this thread—but the quality of the posts/puns has now made my day.

It's sad her pilot with Marla Gibbs wasn't picked up. A blind white woman and a sassy black woman as roommates in the big city would've been a hoot. And can you imagine both of them singing the theme song?

Lord if he smells my pussy should I let him take another whiff?

Meh, bitch ain’t no Diane Schur!

My first lover took my flower hard and fast during the instrumental break of her hit song. Someone was knocking, indeed.

I bet she was annoying.

I played with a blind piano player. He was phenomenal but his perfect pitch was intimidating because he heard every note everyone was playing and singing and any wrong notes would register on his face. She might be like that. Yes, I'm lumping all blind people together. Sue me

We’d sue you if only we could see you.

When she first hit really huge everyone had the mirrored aviators but my mom though they were 'slutty'. I was so pissed.

She could act, too. I remember her season-long guest arc on Falcon Crest. I'm all for blind visibility, but was it necessary to make her Angela's long-lost daughter? She sang at least once an episode.

They tried to recapture the magic with similar arcs by Kim Novak and Lana Turner, but it wasn't the same as Terri Gibbs.

[quote]I'm all for blind visibility

I [bold]see[/bold] what you did there.

She's the sole reason Everybody and Burning Up didn't chart. Audiences were still hungry for Terri's alluring presence. It's only when she got pregnant did she allow Madonna to have success.

I don't think her Super Bowl halftime show will ever be topped. I remember how everyone in the room gasped when she shrugged off that elaborate, bejeweled feather cape to reveal her ruffled beige blouse and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans.

I'm pretty sure it's still the world record holder for the most belly dancers performing together.

It was horrible when she took the wrong turn and fell off the stage while accepting her Oscar for Lesbians and Old Lace.

Exactly why did George C. Scott have her accept his Oscar?

Also, the only reason that Deidre Hall got to play Marlena on Days was because Terri Gibbs was so busy that she couldn't see straight. Terri was Mrs. Ted Corday's first choice to play the role.

I still can't get over that Terri Gibbs and Geri Jewell were replaced by Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Terri & Geri would've done so much better at the box office.

Youtube has the rare unseen pilot episode of Webster, where Ma'am was played by Terri Gibbs rather than Susan Clark. Alex Karras and Emmanuel Lewis seem so uncomfortable but she and Henry Polic II had oodles of chemistry.

Wasn't she supposed to star in Gibby A Break! before they made it a vehicle for Nell Carter?

This is Terri Gibbs wishing everyone a merry Christmas 🎁. I’ll be spending the holidays alone unless somebody’s knockin.

[quote] Her shows outsold Madonna’s during the Blond Ambition tour 2:1.

What?

R88 that bitch was hugely popular. And I’m NOT talking about Madonna!

It's true. Blinded By Love knocked Vogue out of the top spot on the Billboard 100.

Terri Gibbs lunchboxes go for thousands these days and I threw mine away.

I prayed Santa would bring me the Terri Gibbs Barbie, and he did!

She came with an array of fashions that didn’t really match, but she didn’t ever seem to mind.

I loved her in Tootsie!

Did she win Rolling Stone's Sexiest Woman of the Year in 1981 or was it Joyce? I can't remember.

R94 That's Terri's long lost twin, from who she was separated at birth.

R94 Is that Joyce? Fuck her! I'm never talking to her again!

Every fucking time we’d get high, my friends would alternate two albums: Dark Side of the Moon and Totally Terri.

LOL, R96! I love I'm Still Here, Damn It!

R98 I knew *somebody* on DL was bound to get it. :-)

Jaws 3-D was originally conceived as a Terri Gibbs vehicle. Things changed.

Terri is not an upscale name.

Did they knock on her back door? You know, her asshole?

Demi Moore got the role in Striptease after Terri turned it down. She didn't think it was good for her image.

R103 She couldn't see herself in that role.

Polanski was desperate for Terri Gibbs to play the titular role in Tess of the d'Urbervilles, but Gary Morton convinced her not to do it.

Bump for a LADY

When will Ms. Gibbs finally get her Kennedy Center Honor??? It is criminal that she still hasn’t been recognized while less talented and popular artists like Bette Midler, Cher, Joni Mitchell, and Aretha Franklin have long been Honored.

Terri really should have won at least one Emmy for Lead Actress in a Comedy for her long-running sitcom, SOMEBODY’S KNOCKIN! Alas, she was nominated those years when that award always went to Candice Bergen.

However, Terri was always proud that her costar, Nedra Volz, racked up multiple wins in the Supporting Actress in a Comedy category over the years.

I wonder if she regrets her Hustler spread.

Speaking of spreads, I loved the feature in ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST of her beautiful Italian vacation villa. Gorgeous home, and she really lucked out with it since she bought it sight unseen.

She had that certain Jenny-say-squat if you catch my drift.

Somebody’s knockin on my cunt

God, my mother loved that stupid song. I prayed for Terri Gibbs to go mute.

The hottest chick to happen to the music industry until Diane Warren!

It's a shame she had a falling out with her sister. Terri's comedic chops could've brought a lot to 227.

Op, doubtful.

Her son is cute!
