The Empress of Soul 🌹 This will always be one of my favorites. ❤ Brings back so many good memories from back in the day. Happy Saturday.... thank you for sharing! 💖
I remember radio in this era. You’d hear Gladys next to Jethro Tull next to Commodores next to Focus next to Wings, and of course Elton John. It was luscious.
@@The_momuryep along with John Denver next to Alice Cooper next to Carole King next to Roberta Flack next to Deep Purple next to The Carpenters next to The Rolling Stones. What a time it was!
Telling historical document. The stage manager tried to play them off when their time was up by fading out the band. Around 316. And they kept singing, and then they faded out more. Finally Gladys tells the boys "f*** this" and stalks off. Good for her. Crappy end to what had been a great performance. They were just just getting ready to air it out with a big finish, which is sometimes one of the nicest things about these Midnight Special clips. Oh well.
@@Largo3point0 It didn't seem ridiculous to me, without a doubt something happened at the end, they sang a few more seconds of the song but the stage director wanted to cut it and the people started applauding too until Gladys decided to get up and leave. I thought their performance was wonderful, they were great talents in soul music
I think we could just scrap most of the music made over the past 30 years or so. Then we could listen to real music like this. No baggy pants and no swearing. I like it.
What's wrong with baggy pants? It literally has not effect on the music. Elton John performed in leotards, Michael Jackson in tight leather pants. How's about you leave your prejudices at home and just enjoy the music and accept the fact that some things aren't for you and that's okay.
I turned this video on immediately after "Blasphemian" by the Infant Annihilator and Good Lord this song sounds perfectly stunning comparing to death metal:)
@victoriablack4128 Hell, I'm 51. I was saying that the channel gets more bang for its buck with more content. A 5 minute video played to completion pays more than a partial full episode.
In her autobiography, Between Each Line of Pain and Glory, Gladys Knight wrote that she hoped the song was a comfort to the many thousands who come each year from elsewhere to Los Angeles to realize the dream of being in motion pictures, television or music, but then fail to realize that dream and plunge into despair. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Train_to_Georgia
THANK YOU MIDNIGHT SPECIAL!!!!!
She is so beautiful.

Happy Saturday.... thank you for sharing! 💖
No doubt. Amazing how certain songs almost take you back to a particular point in time. Can almost see it.
She sure can sing. Been knowing this for many decades already, but I'm still in awe each time. Like this time.
Love the guys also 🙂
🚂Whoo Hoo… Probably the best backing vocals on any song ever.
Agreed💯
Me, too ❤
No : autotune
No: false pretenses
No : BS
( just raw talent and soul ) ✊🏼🎵
And no pronouns, political speech/agenda. What a great time the 1970s was for music!
Sing it Gladys! I love this song.
🥰
I remember watching that on a 27 inch CRT TV, damn I'm old.
The best of the best!
best soul song of 1973
Amazing performance!
Ms. Knight's best song.
She is all class
Lo mejor de lo mejor. Viva Gladys!
Always loved Gladys. Great pipes, smooth and controlled, but with very expressive delivery.
She needs a bio pic and Kelly Rowland should play her
At the time of this telecast, "Midnight....." was the group's first #1 Pop hit on Billboard's Hot 100 and later earned them a Grammy

Her best song. Though her others are great as well. The story behind this song is very innovative, as well. My favorite singer.
Wow, She is pure SoUL MuSiC.What a lady, God bless her.💐
Gladys Knight's greatness is timeless.
I love her.
Along with Georgia On My Mind and Rainy Night In Georgia, this song completes Georgia Trilogy.
Pity she never recorded Sweet Georgia Brown…could have made it a tetralogy 😂
Gotta get her to sing The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia!
I took midnight train to Georgia and arrived there on some rainy night as I've had Georgia on my mind for so long:)
Classic
Gladys is wonderful as always here. The chair dancing by the Pips, though, is outta this world! 😜
Great song originally called Midnight plane to Houston by Jim Weatherly
Yes. Because at that time, Gladys was against flying. Thank you.

Your comment is patently ridiculous. This was a staged and rehearsed ending.

@@Largo3point0 You're blind. They wanted to keep going.
Whether rehearsed or not, I think it worked well with the live performance with the fading of the band playing and they continued to keep singing.
@briankeegan8089 Hence her singing "Keep going" at the end of the performance
What a find! A true gem.
That voice!

What I read about the market for live concert tickets confirms your opinion. Classic acts are able to charge premium prices for their tickets 🎟️.
@sg-yq8pm you obviously don't know about indecency and obscenity laws
What's wrong with baggy pants? It literally has not effect on the music. Elton John performed in leotards, Michael Jackson in tight leather pants. How's about you leave your prejudices at home and just enjoy the music and accept the fact that some things aren't for you and that's okay.
@@dapac09😢 Someone needs a hug.
Esta música é linda ainda mais na voz marcante de Gladys Knight and the Pips.
Sensationell ❤
I guess Gladys really had to go
Smoothest voice....
I turned this video on immediately after "Blasphemian" by the Infant Annihilator and Good Lord this song sounds perfectly stunning comparing to death metal:)
What a treat no other sound like Miss Gladys and her back up . This song touches the soul in many
I prefer the noon train to Georgia myself. I’m just not a morning person.
Beautiful ..
Did it sound like she sung "Keep going" towards the ends before she got up and left?
What talent!
Close to a perfect song…
All class. All soul. All talent.
Gorgeous
Awesome ❤️
Amazing
Ahhhh!!!
DY-NO-MITE !!!!!!
Gladys sings a lot. I love your tone and your interpretations.
This just popped up... I was going to say it put a big smile on my face. Lol. I see that I said that same thing two years ago. Nicely done! I love it!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
???? This episode was just posted in its entirety a couple weeks ago.
More content on the channel and most people have "short attention span theater" syndrome and don't/won't sit through a 46 minute posting.
@@TruckingToPlease Exactly. Give folks little bites at a time.
Young whipper snappers just don't have the attention span we do to sit down and enjoy a show from start to finish.
@victoriablack4128 Hell, I'm 51. I was saying that the channel gets more bang for its buck with more content. A 5 minute video played to completion pays more than a partial full episode.
@@victoriablack4128 More like folks like to pick which songs and performers to watch.
