SALUTING THE Emperess of Soul, GLADYS KNIGHT. Remember being on the floor with your ears hugging you HiFi to catch every instrument n vocal. In that position, my eldest Bro, said Lil.,Bra, want you to check out this lady n tell me what you think. Heard this quality wooing In every beat of my heart theres a beat for you . I was 10 It was 1962. I said Shes rich. Then I saw these ads that Harlems Apollo was running daily show beginning Fri-Thursday. Children $.60 and they let you see all 5 shows. Then eventually I saw it read Gladys Knight & the Pips. Im 10 now on Long Island in Jamaica Queens county 15 miles across the River. I said I know how to get there. My life was never the same. I left after seeing this Lady do exactly what she does here on this are some cut. I had the thrill of THRILLER before Michael all due respect. Saw this Lady at least 100 times justice the Apollo. Been following her over 50 years. So so privileged to watch them hone their craft seriously. They truly paid their dues. Whenever she and brother cousins took for that stage after backstage prayer, you were in for an experience of entertainment second to NONE!!! I love me some GLADYS KNIGHT- Red, Ed, [R.I.P.], & Bubba PIPS.
