He was 66. Patten, an Atlanta native who lived Detroit, died from a stroke he suffered a few days before, said William Guest. Gladys Knight & the Pips made of Knight; her brother, Merald "Bubba" Knight; and their cousins Guest and Patten recorded for Motown from 1966-1973 and for Buddah Records from 1973-77. They later recorded for CBS until breaking up in 1989. The group, whose hits included "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "If I Were Your Woman" and "Midnight Train To Georgia," won four Grammys and was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Patten was one of the founders of Crew Records, based in Detroit and Atlanta, and sang backup for the label's recording artists, Crew spokeswoman Denise Fussell said.

Beads of sweat stood on his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot. In the room next door, which was the canteen, the soldiers were playing on a drum. Over the tall hills the dawn was ruffling the clouds. There was a faint glimmer on the waters of the river. The footsteps of the gaolers were heard on the outer rampart. At seven o'clock they brought the King a good dinner: they allowed him burgundy from France, and yellow mead, and white bread baked in the ovens of the Abbey, although he was constrained to drink out of pewter, and plates were forbidden him.
