    I never realized she had that good of a voice. Her regular stuff just doesn't really show it. At least the little I have heard. Ok, I've heard her sing 'Midnight Train to Georgia'.

    A funny note, I cannot remember the show, but it was way back in the day, and the Pips were on a show by themselves without Gladys Night and they sang 'Midnight Train to Georgia' but with no Gladys. All they sang was their background part and nobody singing lead. Gladys Knight at the Super Bowl-giggly-gif

    One other note, she had a restaurant here in Atlanta called 'Gladys Knight's Signature Chicken & Waffles' which closed down in 2017. Google it if you want to know all the drama behind it.

    CNN's Don Lemon takes her to task for singing at superbowl.

    Lemon began the segment by noting: “A number of artists have reportedly declined invitations to sing at the Super Bowl this year” in Atlanta.

    He then played a clip of Mark Geragos, the attorney for former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who said that anyone who performs at this year’s game would take “a lot of heat, and I think rightfully so.”

    Geragos added: “The idea that you're going to basically cross a picket line because that's what they’re doing, crossing an intellectual picket line.”

    “They are saying to themselves: ‘I care more about my career than I do about whether what I'm doing is right,’” he continued. “That's taking the short money, so to speak.”

    Knight, who is also known as the “Empress of Soul,” responded: “People are going to have their opinions, you know, about whatever.”
