    She's so beautiful. I had the opportunity to meet her in person, and she is just as beautiful on the inside. Such a wonderful classy lady.

    The Empress of Soul... At 79 years old, she's still cracking it out. Awarded the National Metal of Arts in 2023.
    This is one of my favorite songs by the beautiful Gladys Kinght and The Pips.
    The best of Soul.
    Happy Sunday 🕊 Thank you for sharing! 💖

    • @chriscastillo4275
      @chriscastillo4275 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Always loved the song but watching this was the first time I noticed how much the drums and bass were such a big part of driving this song along. What a great performance by all, especially the brass. Makes me sad to think a tight band and singers are a rare thing now. Used to be the only thing that brought ya success.

    • @andyroid5028
      @andyroid5028 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah. It's too bad they never really showcased the folks playing the instruments when the cameras/concert venue focused mainly on the 'up-front folks' (singers/dancers). Their bassist is/was really good.

  • @jackblack1675
    @jackblack1675 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I worked on the set with her and Patti La Belle (sp?) and Dionne Warwick for a song called, "Superwoman." All of the people on set were pros: we knew to keep to ourselves, and to NOT interfere with the production in any way. We were professionals.
    And, if you don't know, music videos are generally filmed against the track recorded in the studio. It makes sense. It must match the recording to play it on MTV. This song was no different.
    First came Patty Labelle. She raised her hand in the air, her signature move. Then came Dionne Warwick: her distinctive voice came through. And then: Gladys sang. Granted, she was mouthing her own words that were pre-recorded and played back on the Nagra (reel to reel playback machine); but suddenly and UNEXPECTEDLY, everyone in the room fell silent to listen to Gladys sing. It wasn't even a live performance! And, people listening started to cry.
    I don't know what it is about Gladys Knight, but she is a miracle, and one of a kind. I didn't have to gutz to go up and tell her how I felt. I let it go like a professional. But I've never forgotten the POWER that she showed: the power to bring a whole crowd of people to tears, with the shear and open display of her heart.
    And my point? She made me believe for the rest of my life that a person can move mountains. I've loved her ever since. God bless you, Gladys ... you are so loved. But I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.

    Wonderful song. Gladys really poured her heart into this song. Trivia: This song was written by a close friend of actress Farrah Fawcett. She had told him that she had a "midnight plane to Houston" to visit her parents. It stuck in his head and he wrote this award winning song.

    • @bonsuosei2697

      It was, however, first recorded by Cissy Houston ( Whitney's Mom). Gladys Knight and the Pips' version became the most popular and the bigger hit.

    • @bonsuosei2697
      @bonsuosei2697 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @RoyalewithCheese-bn9cw They are basically the same lyrics. The difference is, Gladys and the Pips' version is uptempo with beautiful backing by the Pips and better instrumentation ,while Cissy's is slower with a soulful tune.

    Came to this after just watching GK sing this on a recent edition of "The View," as she honored Whoopi Goldberg's birthday. Certainly hasn't lost much; in fact, her delivery may be even more soulful now if not as energetic. Sure loved the Pips...they may've been the best of the "whoo-HOO" backup singers, for ANY singer. Probably one of the templates for backups to come.
