Now that’s singing!!!! You have just witnessed how singing is done, performance, all around class act, very well dressed, no cleavage showing etc Outstanding-Thanks MNS for show casing all the great band, singers, groups that appeared on your show
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.
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!
Motown was just so deep.They let the spinners go.They let the Isley brothers go it was just so much talent there. It was hard to give everybody their full amount of attention
My late sister favorite singer. Each time I hear Gladys I tear up with the memories of my sister Gladys is so underrated My late sister saw Gladys Atlantic Star Peabo Bryson and Mtume I will forever cherish that moment Gladys is a class act all the way she received a standing ovation before hitting the stage with only the band playing another when she hit the stage ! ❤
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.
This song reminds me so much of when Dr. Renshaw died, and I was supposed to be on his Cessna 320 Skynight, plane with him. Dr. Renshaw loved people so much and never wanted to hurt anyone. He was a wonderful man and a great doctor who was the doctor to my entire family. He was so giving and loved by all. As he was flying back from Baker, California, on the missed approach in instrument conditions at Fullerton airport, and coming back to land, one of his engines quits as he ran out of fuel, as he came out of the clouds, he could see the lights on and people in the golf course clubhouse. Knowing that he could live if he landed on the golf course and slammed into the clubhouse, he chose not to do that, because that wasn't the kind of man, Dr. Renshaw was. Instead, he dove his plane straight into the ground before the clubhouse to save the lives of the people in the clubhouse and subsequently take his own. I remember calling his office when I woke up in the morning to confirm if it was Dr. Renshaw's plane that crashed, and the receptionist was crying so hard she couldn't talk. I will never forget Dr. Renshaw and this beautiful song will always remind me of that fateful rainy night.
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. (:
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.
Momentos hermosos bellos mi ❤ difíciles de olvidar estan tatuados en mi alma . Recuerdos cuando ibamos a la disco a bailar ,difrutar sanamente mi viejo Amado
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.
Favorite female vocalist of all time. My heart melts every time I hear Gladys.

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

Wow, what a great analogy!!!

I use to lay on the couch in a dark living room playing this song over & over with my eyes closed, thinking about the guy i was in love with. ❤❤❤
There are no words to describe the feelings listening to this soulful song. What a voice!
This is one of the most beautiful heartbreak song ever and Gladys Knight's velvety tone bares out all the soul in those words.
Thanks to the people posting these gems! Much love to you!
I sang this song at a beauty pageant when I was in junior college in 1974
Wow. That was a high bar! Hope you won.
Gladys Knight is one of the greatest singers of all time. The clarity and tone of her voice is unmatched.
I am grateful that the Midnight Special preserved these performances.
That voice...tears my heart out, but in a good way! What an absolute treasure she is!
One of the greatest endings to a pop (soul) song ever!
She has such a beautiful voice and such a beautiful lady so sad. We don’t have good singers like we used to.
For me, Gladys was the best. Shame we lost Whitney who was definitely right up there. So many. They've given us so much.
I love everything about this performance, the moves, the suits, the sparkle.
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!

Verdadeira representante dos Bons Tempos.
Simplesmente Maravilhosa.
👏🇧🇷👏🇧🇷👏❤️
My favorite singer. I don’t have another like her.
My favorite singer. I don’t have another like her.
My favorite singer. I don’t have another like her.
I've always been a fan of Galdys Knight and the Pips, great sound with a ton of soul!
Motown actually considered her to be a second tier performer. Let me tell you, there were none better.
Motown was just so deep.They let the spinners go.They let the Isley brothers go it was just so much talent there. It was hard to give everybody their full amount of attention
Totally agree she and the pips are truly magnificent, they were my favourites in the early 70s and still are
"Motown" also thought Marvin shouldn't release a "protest album" but boy were they wrong on that as well.
I take it Motown was just a clique.
Berry Gordy wasn’t always right. Especially in this case!!!
My late sister favorite singer. Each time I hear Gladys I tear up with the memories of my sister
Gladys is so underrated
My late sister saw Gladys
Atlantic Star Peabo Bryson and Mtume
I will forever cherish that moment
Gladys is a class act all the way she received a standing ovation before hitting the stage with only the band playing another when she hit the stage ! ❤
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.
It just doesn't get any better . . . !!

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.
Wow! This was great! I enjoyed the smooth dancing of the background singers too.
That live band, Gladys and the Pips it doesn’t get any better than this!
The pips moved so smoothly. Love her and them. Beautiful son❤
It took me a while to really realize just how great she is.
Even her vocal breaks are so full of emotions
I see her Sunday!!! In San Antonio!!! So excited!!
This is a slam dunk for Gladys Knight and the Pips. Also, whoever mixed the sound for TV gave us a Master Class!
SOunds like the Tower of Power horns
Thanking Tony for bringing me this song in 2024
I have watched at least ten women cover this song and Gladys beat them all. Singing this piece live is just clean and powerful.
GLADYS A BEAUTIFUL NAME THAT'S WAS MY MOTHER'S NAME MAY GOD REST MY MOTHER SOUL IN PEACE MISS YOU MOTHER ALWAYS
Always knew she was amazing, but to SEE here LIVE & the guys bringing it, It was like being there👍Amazing!
Utterly perfect, what more can one say?
Yep!
Great friggin lyrics.
One of America's greatest singers..

When it comes to steps, people will mostly pick the temps but the Pips ain't no joke
Hoje seria utopia falarmos de musica, de amor , de romantismo . Agradeço a Deus ter vivido esses momentos de pura luz, de pura poesia!
Am not able to imagine anyone never feeling exactly what this tune soulfully describes.
This show was made for her and the fam, or maybe the other way around. They were outrageously soulful.
This song Neither One Of Us, l never will get tried of hearing
What A Beautiful Song Gladys a True Master. 😢Brings Me To Tears Her Runs are So Great 😊Right To The Heart ❤️. Great 👍 all The Way. Love Pete sr Siny 😊
Crazy to think this genre of music is nonexistent right now.
I've always dreamed of being one of the pips!
omg.....im lost for words.......Master Class.....the entire group..
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
Immortal song ❤❤❤
Doesn't get any better. That's real singing, not screaming like a lot of so called great singers today.
Midnight Special Magic... WOW!!
