It just doesn't get any more comforting than Gladys Knight singing, even in a sad song like this. Such a classy lady, and the professionalism of the Pips is on full display here. What a great time to be alive and a music fan.
What an amazing talent. By the time, this group came along, the formula was down pat, the rhythm section knew exactly what was expected to fill its role, and a good song like this and a great voice like hers took the entire genre that much higher. Unlike the music I generally like, this is timeless. (:
Dear Midnight Special - These videos are so amazing and I thank you so much for the opportunity for this old man to relive his youth. I was hoping you could post a performance I saw way back in the days that I have always hoped to see again. It is Michael Johnson performing, "Almost Like Being In Love", on the October 13th, 1978 program. I've never seen a video of him performing this song ever since even though it was a top 40 hit. Thanks so much.
A world full of smooth right there folks! The arrangement, the vocals and choreography were just fabulous! Gladys and The Pips will always reign supreme!
The one and only Empress Glady's Knight, Unmatched, Unfadable......Unique. The Master gives us a glimpse of perfection. The vocals, the tone, the clarity, the runs, the class, the stage presence, the depth of gospel in every note. I've followed U ever since I was a shorty. the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's 2000's and a quarter century. U still captivate of us with every performance. No Diana Ross, there is no comparison.
I'm 61 years old my mother turned me on to the Motown scene but when I heard Gladys she blew my wig I got to see her one time add a Michigan State Fair somewhere in the mid-90s I took her flowers she was amazing to me I dig her more than Aretha Franklin Diana Ross fantastic singers Gladys Knight just something about this lady passion she has in her voice and when she puts that growl in there gives me chills
My brother had a thing for Ms Gladys! I saw her here in the UK and she was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful voice she was so wonderful. God bless her❤❤❤😂
I don’t think reincarnation works backwards, but if it does, please let me come back as one of Gladys’s Pips, those are the smoothest cats in Christendom! So so good.
January 11, 1980: "We Don't Talk Anymore" and "Carrie". I wouldn't mind seeing that episode myself. There's a lot of good stuff in that one including Prince.

Still one of the best breakup songs of all time!💔🎶
I've loved her ever since I was a little boy. Her voice is like a mother's embrace.
Me too.
Amen

I sang this song at a beauty pageant when I was in junior college in 1974
There are no words to describe the feelings listening to this soulful song. What a voice!
Favorite female vocalist of all time. My heart melts every time I hear Gladys.
Thanks to the people posting these gems! Much love to you!
I was 12 when I watched this show, I'm a huge rock fan but I loved her voice, she had many hit songs. Thank you for the ride back in time.

That voice helped me as I went from the school playground to frontline military service (where I remained for 24 years) in the mid 70s.
Thanks for serving.
Thank you for your service. May God bless you, greatly.
It just doesn't get any better . . . !!
Wow! This was great! I enjoyed the smooth dancing of the background singers too.

Verdadeira representante dos Bons Tempos.
Simplesmente Maravilhosa.
👏🇧🇷👏🇧🇷👏❤️
I love everything about this performance, the moves, the suits, the sparkle.
That voice...tears my heart out, but in a good way! What an absolute treasure she is!
I've always been a fan of Galdys Knight and the Pips, great sound with a ton of soul!
Great friggin lyrics.
Am not able to imagine anyone never feeling exactly what this tune soulfully describes.
One of the greatest endings to a pop (soul) song ever!
I've always dreamed of being one of the pips!
Gladys Knight is one of the greatest singers of all time. The clarity and tone of her voice is unmatched.
Midnight Special Magic... WOW!!
SOunds like the Tower of Power horns

Gladys Knight.... the empress pf soul.
Happy Sunday 🕊 Thank you for sharing! 💖
She was always my favorite
Her voice had soul and God bless her 🙏 she's a great women
This show was made for her and the fam, or maybe the other way around. They were outrageously soulful.
Motown actually considered her to be a second tier performer. Let me tell you, there were none better.
excellent
Preciosa 🌹
A wonderful song that takes me years back. An Amazing singer indeed.
Gladys Knight, at least as I recall, transcended genre. Regardless of what kind of music was your "thing" you loved her music.She was fabulous

@@fantastica9186 right on and the musicians around her are top-notch players
Driving around listening to this song all summer long with tears in my eyes.
Gladys the Great. Had a bunch of her vinyl back in the day.
My favorite songstress of all time and my favorite song of time thank you Gladys
This is Soul Music ❤
I saw her live. Incredible
It's one of my favorite songs. Thank you for the stroll down memory lane ❤
She was incredible!
She’s still performing. And sounds just as good.
When it comes to steps, people will mostly pick the temps but the Pips ain't no joke
I don’t think reincarnation works backwards, but if it does, please let me come back as one of Gladys’s Pips, those are the smoothest cats in Christendom!
So so good.
Amen. I'll backup.
Absolutely glorious!
Absolutely brilliant!
It's amazing.
Preciosa canción . Inolvidable mi❤

@@gregoryduncan3067
We will probably see that one some time in 2029 😢😮
@@avrahambentzvi Maybe we'll get a clip or two from it before then.
Never 2 tier always 1st.
The words hit so deep... Thinking about my current situation.... There will never be a happy ending......
When there was talent in music...
No auto tune...
