    Gladys Knight and Pips didn't get the attention they needed from Motown Records. They do (another) great version of " I Heard It Through Grapevine". They signed with Buddah Records, and things changed. Starting with this song, which was recorded on the Motown Label, they had 5 top 5 hits on the Pop charts in 73/74. 4 with Buddah, which was the same amount of top 10s they have with Motown form 61-72. Midnight Train to Georgia, On and On, Your the Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me, I've Got to Use My Imagination. Along with If I Were You're Woman and I Feel A Song In My Heart Again which are gems in their catalog.

    Hi Shawn and Mel, wasn't that so beautiful? Gladys Knight sang like an angel. She and the Pip's are one of my top ten favorite Motown artists of all time. Have you heard Midnight Train to Georgia? I love that one too. Did you notice all the couples slow dancing around the stage? I got tears in my eyes watching that. You never see couples slow dancing like that anymore, with the man holding the woman so tenderly and with respect. It breaks my heart when I see the way performers are dancing today on videos and television. I have been to wedding receptions where young girls are out there copying moves and they do not have a clue what those moves represent. I wish people would dance with respect and caring again. I love dancing and Soul Train had the best dancers on tv.

    Shawn and Mel, I have watched many and liked all of your song reactions to white bands and singers. And being a 61 year old white male, I chose "Neither One of Us" by Gladys Knight as my first of you two reacting to a African American band as this song brings back so many childhood memories that when i hear it, i get emotional and get teary eyed. I just love the old Motown songs that came on the radio back in the day before there ever was a HIP HOP and RAP genres. Songs had so much meaning and so much cleaner than the smut our new generation is listening to nowdays. Anyway, I also loved, and still love, "Midnight Train to Georgia" and the Pips back there killed it with the train toots. What happened to the music of those wonderful days? I miss them so much.

    In my humble opinion, Gladys Knight is the greatest female soul singer ever, including Aretha Franklin. Please, please check out "The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me," it's a much more positive and uplifting song and can be applied to many relationships: husbands & wives, mothers & daughters... Also, she absolutely killed a duet with Boys II Men "End of the Road." Thankfully, she is still with us and was on tour last year. Hers is one of those voices that get better with age. Thank you for that reaction, guys.
