Gladys Knight was treated a bit torridly by Motown in the 1960's, but it worked to her advantage in the end as being a cutting edge soul queen in the 1970's. In 1969, a struggling news broadcaster named Don Cornelius was starting a show in the Chicago market called "Soul Train" and it was 'Gladys Knight and the Pips' who agreed to perform on the show. It wasn't Aretha, it wasn't Dianna Ross, nor Martha Reeves, or Marvin Gaye (they all wanted a comfortable fee). Gladys embodied what soul music meant, giving it up for the people, and lending a helping hand when you could. An embodiment of the true 1960's spirit. Soul Train toook off, but it was Gladys Knight who performed first.
This comp is excellent. I was at a Mod/Soul DJ night in San Francisco in December 2002 and the DJ spun "Walk In My Shoes" off a 45Rpm and I was gassed instantly. I knew about her work in the 1970's, but this......this was good, danceable raw soul. I looked into Gladys's career and music before the 1970's and stumbled upon this comp. The music is danceable, and Gladys put every effort into what was provided for her, swooning harder, better, than any modern 'diva' could today. The backing by the Pips is stellar, always hitting the beat, and backing up "what she's talking about" and that was in itself something she should be proud of.
Song "Missing You"
Chorus:Though I'm missing you
(Although I'm missing you)
I'll find a way to get through
(I'll find a way to get through)
Living without you
'Cause you were my sister, my strength, and my pride
Only God may know why, still I will get by
Who would've known
That you'd have to go
So suddenly and so fast
How could it be
That a sweet memory
Would be all
All that we have left
But know that you're gone
Everyday I go on
(I go on)
But life's just not the same
(Life's just not the same)
I'm so empty inside
And my tears I can't hide
But I'll try, I'll try to face the pain
(CHORUS)
Oh, there were so many things
That we could have shared, uh-huh
If time was on our ide
(Time was on our side)
Now that you're gone
I can still feel you near
So I'll smile
With every tear I cry
(CHORUS)
How sweet, were the losses to spare?
But I'll wait for the day
When I see you again
See you again
(CHORUS)
I'm missing you
