The buttery rich beauty of Gladys Knight's voice is unparalleled, and she infuses every lyric with meaning.
Gladys is one of the few rare singers the world has been blessed with. She sounds the same on her albums as she does in person. In my opinion, she is the greatest female singer I have ever heard. She has a very rare ability to touch place in me that I didn't even know existed and I am definitely not an emotional person. I buy most albums because I liked a certain song or songs on the album. I buy Gladys Knight albums because I love her voice and style, no matter what she sings. The male singer for me is Stevie Wonder.
Gladys Knight impeccably dressed that was the style back in the 70's. The Bee Gee's were excted to introduced them. Gladys and the pips won a Grammy for that song.
Midnight Special was not an amateur night show, it only had the top talent of the day. It brought live music into our homes Friday night. As parents went to sleep, our music came in live; it was the show not to be missed, though it trialed off in the 80’s, because frankly so did the talent 😂
Thank you for teaching the younging..lol I like his reactions
He's young, he just doesn't get it, listen's to too much to today's trash they call music.
The Midnight Special was not an amateur night. It showcased huge music stars singing their biggest hits.
True!!! Not an amateur nite!!!Gladys is not an Amateur nor are the Pips😊!!! I'm biased, Gladys is one of my most favorite singers!!!
I rushed to the comment section to make sure someone corrected his statement. Every act on the Midnight Special was already well established. It was like a mini concert. What a great time.
Exactly...live
Nobody on this show were amateurs 😂😂. .
Gladys was a child prodigy, so she was a professional long before this performance. Wolfman Jack hosted the midnight special which showcased the biggest names in music during the 1970s!!!
There is no mistaking that sultry voice. She is wonderful.
Definitely, gotta listen to more of her music!
@@JustJammin check out her song called license to kill
No auto-tune No Electronic Hocus Pocus just pure talent back in the day
Gladys is always on point! I’ve never heard her hit a bad note. She is in her 70’s now and still killin it!
Still looks much the same! ☺️
I've always said Gladys has never hit a bad note! She is a vocal phenomenon!!!
And she sings her own lyrics during live performances. Some artists spend their time getting the audience to sing instead
Gladys Knight didn't do amateur night. Certified Legend.
Gladys Knight "The Empress of Soul" A remarkable vocalist and the first note out of her mouth is always undeniably Gladys. Beautiful.
That’s called “SANGIN”😁 Sang Gladys!👏
That's some serious back in the day talent. Unfortunately those days are long, long gone.
To this day even, Gladys is the most soulful singer that I’ve seen “live”, and I’ve seen a lot. “Midnight Special” was innovative, way before its time, chart toppers singing their hits “Live” the best music show ever! Peace
This song was number one and got a Grammy.
The Most Beautiful Voice and Those Tender Eyes Hit Right To The Heart ❤️. What A Beautiful 🤩 Song One Of The Best Al Times. Pete sr
Amateur night ????.....Lolllll....This show was neither a amateur night show or a America Got Talent type show.....this was a weekly show that featured the biggest and lesser known artists of that period doing live performances....you bout to start a riot up in here....IMAGINE...Gladys Knight is one of the GOATS and never an amatuer.....great choice but im on the floor laughing at your comments
I didn't know how to describe it so I just blurted out amateur night. I'll take this L though.
@@JustJammin .....no big deal it was just funny....back in the day you had shows like this that featured the hot acts of the time on a weekly basis.....they just dont have shows like that now.....the 2 biggest weekly shows back in the day to feature the hottest acts were American Bandstand and Soul Train....American Bandstand was the biggest show until Soul Train came on the scene....tho those 2 were the biggest most of the acts lip synched their performances unless they were a SUPERSTAR act.....Midnight Special was different because most of the performances were live.....btw....when you react to some of these r&b acts of the late 60s to early 80s please type in Soul Train along with your search.....i will say that 90 percent of the time you will find that artist doing their hit on Soul Train....that was the show that EVERY black artists from the biggest to the lesser known in that time period wanted to be on to get exposure

Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour.
I was specifically looking for this reply before I put my 2 cents in it. I almost spit out my water when he said that!!! LOL.
@@TheFargo116 there are several books in the library on the subject of Soul Train and it's influence on American culture. I think there might also may be a documentary film on Don Cornelius the Creator and producer of Soul Train. The show not only had influence on American black culture, music, business and fashion, it also had a huge non-black nationwide audience, but marketed it's commercial advertising on products specifcally to the black audience. Dick Clark tried repeatedly to buy the show from it's Creator, but Don Cornelius refused to sell at any cost, because a nationally syndicated show with a huge audience of young people of all colors was black empowerment. Soul Trains viewers wanted to see black artists that wouldn't get showcased on American Bandstand. They also wanted to see the latest dance styles and the coolest fashions. Things common to all teens. If you ask just about any white person who watched the show at the time, they will tell you, that it was probably less about the blackness of the show and more about the music, fashion and dance. They didn't have much interest in Sulpher-H or Afrosheen, but they could tell you what kind of products they were for what people.
Great song about a relationship heading for a breakup, with neither person willing to admit it. Brilliantly sung by the legendary Gladys Knight.
one of the greatest singers of all time, no amateurs on the Midnight Special. all were top singers and performers
Goosebumps every time she sings
Midnight Special was our MTV only singers performed live, no auto-tune. Only the top talent of the day NO AMATUERS
Live...amazing. Love, love, love me some Gladys Night. One of the original Divas.
Love me some Gladys Knight and the Pips.
JJ, Their "Midnight Train To Georgia" is next for you!! most backing vocals ever in a great song! So enjoyable to sing.
No amateurs here..The Empress of Soul!
NO AMATEUR NIGHT - the top talent of the time
Your impression of the "Midnight Special" show is incorrect. The show was actually a showcase for established and up-and-coming artists of the day. It was not a competition.
Incredible performance by Gladys. What a talent!
Gladys was the first singer I remember stopping me dead in my tracks...I was about 8-9 years old and she was on tv in the living room... to me she was gorgeous.... and still is... she still has my heart....
I lose it every time I hear this. Absolute royalty!
Pure Soul ... Love her music.
😢When I saw that you reacted to this classic, I thought this is going to blow his mind😊!!! The lyrics are so profound and Gladys/Pips'delivery is about as good as soul will ever get!!!
Always loved this song!!! Her voice and style. So classy and she sangs!!🎶🎵🎙🎼🎶🎵🎙🎵🎶🎙🎼🎶
It wasn’t a contest, it wasn’t amateur night, it was probably one of the best shows ever to air on television. No lip syncing on this show. The artist came out and performed live. What a great show. It came on late at night and I was too young to stay up. However, my mother would be watching it and my sister and I would peek in her room while lying on the floor in the hallway so that we could watch the performances in secret.
It wasn't an Amateur night... It was a national show of stars
These are grown folks sanging, no one half naked looking beautiful and styish as alway. I love the Midnight Special they always has the best singers on the show. Just Jamming you should listen to the soundtrack from the movie Claudine produced by Curtis Mayfield.
She Sung It The Same Way On The Album Version Gladys was and still is a beast
I’ve always loved hearing Gladys Night sing , I love her voice and style. I’ve also seen her now and then on talk shows and she also seems like a phenomenal person. Very likable personality.
Midnight special had some of the best acts in the world at the time, best part of it was it was live performances 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good to see young cats hearing REAL...LIVE...SUPERIOR performing talent....nothing fake, no auto tune....just kick ass singing! Great performance!
this womans voice is enchanting.
Definitely not a amateur night show, the show featured some of the biggest acts of the time, performing their million selling hits live, this was one of the shows where you could watch huge acts perform live and performing their biggest hit records, don’t get it mistaken there was nothing amateurish about this show.....
Let the Midnight Special shine its light on you!
Nobody can touch Gladys with making you tear up. She sounds just as good now as she did then. 76 years old and she KILT it on the Masked Singer. You've got to react to some of those performances. Also, can you please do Oleta Adam's Get Here, she's another one who gets skipped over.
Midnight Special was what was called a variety show. In DC at came on late on Saturday night and showed popular music acts.
a beautiful lady singing a beautiful song beautifully...................
Ha! Bruh, Amateur Night was the Apollo, in the hood of Harlem, NY, USA, which although it had been around from the '30's or 40's, did not start being televised until sometime in the '80's. Midnight Special WAS NOT THAT!!! There were NO amateurs on that show. Maybe you thought so because it had a dated appearance, between the clothing & the television reception...no high definition back then. They had different artists & guest hosts every week ( I believe it came on Fridays), and many, like Gladys Night & the Pips or the Isley Brothers, were iconic legendary artists. Gladys' brother, Bubbah, was the one closest to her on stage. She is absolutely amazing as a vocalist & can still sing like that, which is crazy! She been hittin over 50 years, & has the distinction of havin the 1st video to feature break dancing, which came to light in the '80's. The song was, 'Save the Overtime (For Me)'. You should also check That's What Friends are For, an all star collaboration to fight AIDS, with Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, & Elton John. There was also Don Kirschner's Rock Concert, which came on Saturday nights. The beauty of those shows was that they had bands of different styles on, including some instrumental groups & artists like, the Crusaders (check out Street Life). I remember seeing the incredible jazz guitarist George Benson, who began to sing & became highly successful pop artist, on Midnight Special, jamming with country artist Glen Campbell, who could blow really nice on guitar as well. Yeah also check George Benson when you get a chance. His singing breakthrough was, This Masquerade, from the album, Breezin. Only one vocal on the album. The next one had six songs & 4 of them were vocals. Eventually he started getting hit songs, collaborating with Quincy & Rod Temperton (Thriller, Off the Wall), & had big hits with Give Me the Night, and Turn Your Love Around.
JJ-Soul Train was my fave but Midnight Special was different because all the Artist performed live and on Soul Train 90 percent of the time the Artist were lip singing.
Exactly. Whereas on MIDNIGHT SPECIAL they only lipsynched like 10 or 15% of the time.
Unlike today , we did not have a lot of amateur shows. We listened to the certified stars on the Midnight Special. American Bandstand,, The Flip Wilson Show. , Soul Train, Ed Sullivan, Sonny and Cher, The only time I heard amateurs was on Amateur Hour, and Showtime at the Apollo and Star Search where I first heard Luther Vandross .(and he was no amateur) , Thinking about the music today, I realize being a child of the sixties I was part of very musically spoiled generation . We heard Patti Label, Gladys Knight, Earth Wind and Fire, Rose Royce, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, the Ohio Players, Aretha Franklin, and the Ojays all at one house party as the DJ would spin record after record ! Wow and we took it all for granted!
,
She is one of the greatest live performance of all times
IN '68, I SAW GLADYS & HER BROTHERS OPEN FOR SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES AT THE OLD DENVER COLISEUM. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. TOTAL PROS. ------------MJL, 76 Y/O
It was just a variety show, but it was the hottest of its day because they had the top artists and they always performed live.
I've Got To Use My Imagination is one of my favorites by them and License To Kill is another banger by her!
Lol. Those sparkling dresses were the thing back then.
Raised in this era of music 👍
Gladis was the best 😊😘
That is a sad ass song, LoL. Feel like this doesn't get the recognition it deserves but it has to definitely be one of the best break up songs ever. Gladys Knight most definitely one of the great female R&B singers all time.
Yes, very sad situation in this song. The happiest thing about this song is that it was DID get the recognition it deserved....It won the first Grammy for Gladys Knight and the Pips for the Best Soul Song of the Year! I think for 1971.
@@darnelljones3765 great point. Hard to believe Gladys Knight goes all the back to 1971. My recognition statement was meant to be about today's generation. I never hear Gladys Knight name get brought up when people talk about the great female artist list. Personally I believe she deserves to be.
@@mumm-ratheeverliving2288 You will be very pleased to know that you are in for a treat, if you decide to check out videos of Gladys Knight on TH-cam! Check out the music industry's tributes to her, where young people are singing her songs. And her career spans to the 1950s!
Gladys Knight is nearly 80, but she sounds just as good today, and is still doing concerts! She is probably the most popular living pop singer from that era!
But, time brings in young performers and new faces! Many of the new performers are great, and they admire "The Empress of Soul" (Gladys), too. I don't know if they will maintain success and popularity for 60 years, like Gladys, but I wish them well! Happy music-listening, Brother!
@@darnelljones3765 I will definitely look that up on TH-cam. Appreciate the feedback, and let's keep the great music alive!! Thanks again ✌️
Very special jam..mind you she’s singing live ..not easy..she’s top 10 Female Vocalist of all times.

No. of episodes: 230
First episode date: September 27, 1973
Final episode date: 1981
Cast: Don Kirshner
Program creator: Don Kirshner
You need to listen to the original recording of this song which was another big hit for their group.
Midnight Special was not a show for amateurs, this show was for the hottest entertainers around back in the day
Lesson learned.
That was dope. I love watching these old clips of some of our favorite old school artists. These artists today can't come close to competing with them. This is shear class and style. Take a bow Ms. Knight & The Pips...... They were a family act with her brother Merald "Bubba", and cousins William and Edward.
Midnight Special was no amateur night. All the top professionals were on that show back in the day. I know, hard to imagine since the variety TV entertainment shows of today are mostly made up of talent who haven't gotten their big break yet. Miss those days 💕.
One of their biggest songs! I should not be old enough to remember Midnight Special lol
Midnight Special was not an amateur night show, it only had the top talent of the day.
Midnight Special aired at...well...midnight (depending on what time zone you were in) on Saturday nights on NBC. If memory serves, I believe this is the show that Saturday Night Live replaced on NBC. And no, it was not an "Amateur Hour." Quite to the contrary. This show was a non-stop rock concert featuring some of the biggest artists of the time. Usually they'd showcase a number of artists who had hits on the pop charts that week. (No doubt their record companies were pushing them out to perform on this show as it was *THE* show of its kind in America at the time.). Each week, just as Saturday Night Live would do in years hence, they had a different host each week. Usually a musical artist, but not always. On this particular episode, no doubt from 1973, when this song was charting, The Bee Gees were the hosts. Which explains why they were introducing Gladys Knight at the Pips. I luvs me some Gladys Knight. One of the most underrated female vocalists of the 20th century. I would put her easily in the top 10 female vocalists of all time. Check out a few other Gladys Knight and the Pips songs, like "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (a completely different sound than Marvin Gaye's iconic take on the song), "If I Were Your Woman," "I've Got to Use My Imagination," and of course their biggest hit, "Midnight Train to Georgia."
Speaking of Amateur Hour, there used to be a show on TV back in the '50s called Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour, and as I recall, there was one little girl who appeared on the show and she knocked 'em out. That little girl's name was Gladys Knight. Long before the Pips came along.
This shown me how to top stars on it I think different was On soul train The group's mostly lipstink their own songs every now and then they song live. This show the always song live
Midnight Special only had huge stars with hit songs.. it was nothing like American Idol, there was absolutely no competition.. You were just watching a concert at home.. it was great
Always loved the lyrics to their songs. She singing this live, too. Every time I seen her live on television, I was never disappointed
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
FYI, Gladys Knight was born May 28, 1944. She was 28 at the time of this video, performing with her brother Merald ("Bubba") Knight and her cousins Ed Patten and Bill Guest.
This show was not amateur night. It featured singers that were already famous singing their songs live.
It was a showcase for artists with new/current music. Before videos.
Love Gladys
Far from amerture night these are the best of the best performing 🤟
This was definitely not an amateur show! An amateur would have been lucky being a go for, for the big acts that were performing on this show! Only the best of the time were invited here!
At this stage in her life, as far as I'm concerned, she was one of the prettiest women on the planet.
No Midenight special was just a music television show that actually came on at midnight( before 24 hr TV) shortly before TV went off the Air, was not about Amatuer night at all some acts had their best Live performances it was Hosted a a famous DJ named Wolfman Jack
Just Live , When People sang for real. And This is the Original Song
All HAIL the Great GLADYS!!!! (And PROPS to the precise PIPS)
Miss “The Midnight Special.” It was one of the few times I could stay up past my bedtime with my mother as a kid to watch. Elite and rising act’s only on this show as some comments have shared.❤️
And, yeah☺️Gladys has had that same iconic, gorgeous face since childhood:
th-cam.com/video/MyBRazHhl-o/w-d-xo.html
Dude, this is nowhere near amateur night. If you weren't among the best ever you didn't get anywhere near The Midnight Special. It was a showcase for the rest of us to be able to see and hear the greatest talent ever. Don't you dare call it amateur night.
Singing competition shows weren't a thing then. Gladys & the Pips had been hugely successful for about a decade by the time this was taped. Midnight Special was what everybody watched before Saturday Night Live was created in that time slot.
The Soul Train video is the studio version or record version of this song.
No, not Amatuers & not America's Got Talent.It was a musical variety showcase that had popular music hosted by a Radio Disc Jockey named Wolfman Jack.
Kelly Rowland played Gladys in that Soul Train series that ran last year, I believe it was.
Kelly really does look a lot like Gladys.
This song tells of a very hard lesson about some relationships. Sometimes you can go to far and stay too long.
Please Don’t Disrespect Gladys Night’s Outfit Remember This Is The 70’s She is AWESOME LADY WITH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE !!!
SIR !! THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL WAS NOT AN " AMATEUR " NIGHT ! IT FEATURED THE VERY BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES BY THE VERY BEST IN THE MUSIC WORLD. --------THE VERY BEST . -------------THE LEGENDARY DON KIRSHNER PRODUCED THIS SHOW ON ABC, LATE SATURDAYS .-----------------MJL, 76 Y/O
What's up JJ & JJ fam! I'm just repeating what someone else has said on here - by no means, was The Midnight Special any kind of amateur or "trying to be discovered" showcase. Nope... it was for already established music acts... or acts on the come-up... (to possibly enhance their already established local or regional audience). But I don't believe that the Mid Spec showcased any artists, without a record deal already. Just putting that out there... to give Gladys & The Pips their proper shine and recognition! 😉
For the most part it was this show and Soul Train for most Soul and R&B acts that were not on the pop charts or had a cross over Hit
No amateurs on The Midnight Special, only those huge hutmakers.
The Midnight Special was definitely not an amateur night. It showcased musical talent in their prime. We were just very very lucky at the time to see all of this talent on a late night tv show.
The Midnight Special was no talent show. It showcase the top music artists and groups in the country. Hosted by Wolfman Jack who was a nationally known DJ.
Not amateurs. It was a program which featured many different famous groups.
Midnight Special was the furthest away from an amateur night as could be. All of the major acts played on the show.
❤️❤️❤️
The Midnight Special was like - a mini-concert every Friday night of famous acts during the 70s, and early 80s. I tried my best to stay up to watch it every week, like at 6 and 7 years old. Back then, music was everywhere on tv. All the variety shows, had musical guests. Just as a snapshot - The Jacksons had a variety show (pls check these out on youtube), The Osmonds had a variety show, Cher - had a variety show, there was the Carol Burnett Show, Flip Wilson had a variety show. Then was Soul Train on Saturdays, American Bandstand on Saturdays, Solid Gold and Disco Fever on Saturday night....And - that is not EVEN counting all the other dance shows that came from the 80s. It really is a rabbit hole once you go down it.
blueskies is right, Midnight Special was a late night concert series that started in August 1972. It showcased artists that were already established/famous/known.
This was not an amateur night thing. These were ALL professional singers and groups!
it was not an amateur night it was weekly show showcasing famous artist doing their biggest hits all the entertainment was established artist
The Midnight Special was similar to Soul Train, American Bandstand, Solid Gold, etc., musical variety shows of that era.
Aint nuthin amateur bout Miss Gladys!
For sure not amateurs- lots of very established artists appeared on the Midnight Special. However, sometimes they did showcase artists with new hits kinda new on the scene, just breaking through. This group though, had been around a while already. Already had a name. She sure gets down towards the end of the song. Class act Gladys Knight and her Pips.
