Who is the Bee? The Best Guesses So Far

Gladys Knight

This is our favorite guess as it seems to neatly check the boxes for every clue. Gladys Knightly started singing in the 50s at the age of 8. She sang with a group of four other cousins and siblings dubbed Gladys Knightly and the Pips which lines up with the four backup personas seen during her clues video clip. She has been called the Empress of Soul.

Tina Turner

Listening to the voice of the Bee definitely gave us some Tina Turner Vibes and she did get her start in the '50s and has been named The Queen of Rock and Roll. She also offered the role of Acid Queen in The Who's rock opera, "Tommy."

Dionne Warwick

This well-known singer, actress and television host did get her musical start in the '50s. Some call her a queen and in some places, she's been labeled the princess of pop.

Diana Ross

This is a decent guess, but Ross falls a little short in terms of the time frame as she and the Supremes rose to fame during the '60s. If the backup singers from the video clip were a clue, this would put a hole in the Diana Ross theory.
