Since the mid-’60s, Gladys Knight has been a soulful, guiding force of popular music. As the leader of Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Atlanta-born songstress cracked the charts with tunes like “Take Me in Your Arms and Love Me,” “Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)” and “Midnight Train to Georgia” — the last two were both No. 1 hits. She’s won a whopping seven Grammys, is a twice-published author and has appeared in more than 20 TV shows and specials and big-screen features.
