I didn't realize at the time how devastatingly beautiful Glady's Knight was.
I concur. I was thinking the same thing
+1❤❤
Yeah. She's particularly adorable here.
Shes still beautiful
Yes indeed
Damn, Gladys Knight was beautiful!
She was gorgeous ! And what a voice !!
I absolutely love how ridiculously gorgeous Gladys was and how her voice just brims with soul. She sings so effortlessly like she took a walk and just so happened to stop by this studio.
The Empress of Soul... At 79 years old, she's still cracking it out. Awarded the National Metal of Arts in 2023.
This is one of my favorite songs by the beautiful Gladys Kinght and The Pips.
The best of Soul.
Happy Sunday 🕊 Thank you for sharing! 💖
She's such a firecracker! There's nothing like a performer who pours their soul into their work.

Gladys makes singing from your soul look so dang easy! She's awesome! I always loved The Pips, too! This put a smile on my face.😊✌️
Me too
Gladys Knight had it ALL! One of the all time best female singers ever! She’s got an amazing voice that she knows how to use- and, she’s absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤
Gorgeous lady with one of the best voices ever!
They represent the golden 70s music. These songs are multigenerational. Even now in the 2020s young people like this tunes!! Gladys The Beautiful Lady of Soul music!!
I have the pleasure to meet her at Disney World years ago and she is the most wonderful lady.
You are SO lucky!
Those Pips were amazing and styling.
The Pips bustin' those smooth ass moves and on point with the backing vocals! I can't watch the Pips without bloody crying ♥️.
Always loved watching Gladys perform! And what a beautiful lady with a fantastic voice! ❤
Such a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice and soul. Combine her with the superb Pips, and you have a song that touches your soul like few others.
Happy 80th Birthday to Gladys Knight!
I could watch this 100 times and it would not get old.
Best performance of this song I've ever heard. She sounds great and that band is terrific. Big sound.
Agreed! That band is SO tight!!
Always loved the song but watching this was the first time I noticed how much the drums and bass were such a big part of driving this song along. What a great performance by all, especially the brass. Makes me sad to think a tight band and singers are a rare thing now. Used to be the only thing that brought ya success.
Fifty years and it's still great. Remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you for posting.
Beautiful eyes!
Glayds Knight and the Pips are an iconic group and they sound simply amazing and awesome on the Midnight Special 🎉🎉. I love this 🎵 🎶 lady and her music 🎶 🎵, she's my favorite 🎉🎉
As I watch these wonderful clips from decades ago it actually saddens me. What happened to our music folks? Where did it all go wrong?
You guys sure do have a way of posting musical sunshine on a Sunday morning. Love this.
Gladys sounds great and so cute. Pips in synch and doing their thing. Awesome
I’m in love with her, she was drop dead gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
One of my favorite singers. A phenomenal voice. So glad I've seen her in person!
Gladys is a vocal goddess but, damn those pips sure are smooth,. what a song !
That sure as hell wasn't lip-synced.
(:
You are 100%, correct,Burt
I prefer this upbeat version over the studio cut. Damn, they're so good.
How can you sing so effortlessly, look so beautiful with that much soul in your voice? Me crying over my lost marriage has zero emotions compared to her singing this song!
This helps me when I am depressed.
Absolutely gorgeous and just the best record ever!
They don't have this kind of wonderful music anymore! Such a beautiful lady! Glad I grew up with the music they had back then!🎙️🤟
If there have been ten perfect songs in my lifetime, this may well be one of them.
Ms Knight has the best growl in R&B history ... all her vocal flourishes truly make her music glorious
A singing DOLL! Love it!
Just like Mr. Bojangles is "Sammy's song", Midnight Train to Georgia is Glady's song. I don't care to listen to anyone else singing this song except Gladys
This is why America is Great. Nothing like this anywhere else
Que hermosa y natural se ve Gladicita,y qué voz,que tipos aquellos que guardo en mi corazón ❤extraño esos años😢
“And the hits just keep on comin’ !”
Gorgeous. And those Pips were amazing.
I love this unique beautyful Lady with extraordinary voice ❤
What a classy lady,and boy,can she belt out a song?
I had a crush when I was kid and saw the vynil cover from my mother's collection...
❤❤.. she is one1 very beautiful lady.. you're comment was dead on shot!! ❤❤
I would have loved to catch that midnight train with Gladys to Georgia back in 1974. Sadly I was only four at the time.
I simply adore her. I always will. I used to play her songs (on cassette!) When my son was a baby. Her voice soothed him to sleep. 🙂
She is fantastic, we love you Gladys.
That voice still chills me. Love it.
I know..."I've got Georgia on my mind!"
Incredible . Music was so different back then. Timeless music❤
On my list of songs i will never get tired of listening to.
What a voice & she’s so cute, to boot‼️
what awesome performance - surpasses the original recording!!! Really enjoying these MS clips, so many great performance seeing the light of day again.
Gladys Knight and the Perfection In Performance Pips. Huge part of the soundtrack of our lives. Happy 80th to Gladys.❤
She became even greater as she got older❤
Eres fantástica eso es tener talento tiene una voz maravillosa muchi simas gracias por aver la con partido con todos nosotros ❤❤❤
I watched this episode with my mother then we went to Vegas and saw them live my mother had never been to a live show before and it was a great night
This was '74? At just 9 years old when this was recorded, I remember this song vividly as it was always being played out of the single speaker on my Phillips a.m. radio. Thanks Gladys and gentlemen for entertaining this impressionable little boy. ✌️ y'all
✌
They are all so talented
That's LIVE!
A beautiful music and singing...
She is one of a kind, singing and beautiful even now
The voice of a goddess!
Que espectáculo 5 estrellas,Gladys and the Pips.
Just magnificent!!!❤
Absolute epic....will be carved in stone forever.
What a voice she had ❤❤❤❤
RIP, Tony Joe White. Gladys and the Pips do justice to this song.
Wonderful song. Gladys really poured her heart into this song. Trivia: This song was written by a close friend of actress Farrah Fawcett. She had told him that she had a "midnight plane to Houston" to visit her parents. It stuck in his head and he wrote this award winning song.
It was, however, first recorded by Cissy Houston ( Whitney's Mom). Gladys Knight and the Pips' version became the most popular and the bigger hit.
@RoyalewithCheese-bn9cw They are basically the same lyrics. The difference is, Gladys and the Pips' version is uptempo with beautiful backing by the Pips and better instrumentation ,while Cissy's is slower with a soulful tune.
just to let you know......the song was originally written and recorded by Jim Weatherly, entitled "Midnight plane to Houston", released in July of '72.@@bonsuosei2697
when them moves are so effortless and the voice is effortlessly belting out this banger
thats classy
This is one of my greatest songs for sure - man...she can sing!
Awesome song! I believe there's a Midnight Special Gladys Knight and The Pips performance of "Use My Imagination"(?) If so, I'd love to see it again! Thanks!
Just spectacular. Fantastic. Pure talent. Motown 4ev!
When I hear this song, all I picture in my mind is the Pips' routine.
I worked on the set with her and Patti La Belle (sp?) and Dionne Warwick for a song called, "Superwoman." All of the people on set were pros: we knew to keep to ourselves, and to NOT interfere with the production in any way. We were professionals.
And, if you don't know, music videos are generally filmed against the track recorded in the studio. It makes sense. It must match the recording to play it on MTV. This song was no different.
First came Patty Labelle. She raised her hand in the air, her signature move. Then came Dionne Warwick: her distinctive voice came through. And then: Gladys sang. Granted, she was mouthing her own words that were pre-recorded and played back on the Nagra (reel to reel playback machine); but suddenly and UNEXPECTEDLY, everyone in the room fell silent to listen to Gladys sing. It wasn't even a live performance! And, people listening started to cry.
I don't know what it is about Gladys Knight, but she is a miracle, and one of a kind. I didn't have to gutz to go up and tell her how I felt. I let it go like a professional. But I've never forgotten the POWER that she showed: the power to bring a whole crowd of people to tears, with the shear and open display of her heart.
And my point? She made me believe for the rest of my life that a person can move mountains. I've loved her ever since. God bless you, Gladys ... you are so loved. But I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.
Performing art of the soul elevating kind.
What a classy, natural talent. This golden oldie brought a smile. Pleasure to watch
Wat een heerlijk nummer en zo waanzinig goed gebracht door Gladys
What class, we will never see this again.
There are two things about Gladys Knight that are undeniably true. Firstly she was stunningly beautiful and secondly she was a talented artist.
Came to this after just watching GK sing this on a recent edition of "The View," as she honored Whoopi Goldberg's birthday. Certainly hasn't lost much; in fact, her delivery may be even more soulful now if not as energetic. Sure loved the Pips...they may've been the best of the "whoo-HOO" backup singers, for ANY singer. Probably one of the templates for backups to come.
Wow! So Exciting! So wonderful.! ❤
My youth brilliant.
She also did this one on The Muppet Show 😂 great to see it sung live with the Pips 😊
Is there such thing as perfect pitch and perfect rhythm? You just heard and saw it if so.
Player with baby come back, ambrosia with you are the only woman, Shannon by Henry Gross are good examples of good songs that appeared on this show that we all want to see.
Yes, and we will!
So unique!! Unable to replicate; not even close!!!
I love this so much! Thanks for the upgrade! Midnight Special is the Best!
adorable !
Beautiful ❤
Backing band crushing it!
what a voice, what a song!! Gladys Knight forever will be one of my favorite all times singer
Gladys is gorgeous and the Pips are so handsome they all so talented
Phenomenal performance!
What an amazing voice!
Man. This is a hit!
a class act when music and song was king
Shes sooooo beautiful ❤
Legendary Singer
Gladys was hot, Woo-woo!
From MIDNIGHT to MIDNIGHT. That’s right!
My favourite song of all time.
Años 70 tiempos hermosos de juventud de felicidad los extrañaré toda mi vida mi ❤
Great music
