Kudos to the bass player for bringing a LOT of the original wonderful countermelody played by Bob Babbitt. And for the arranger and production crew that kept it nicely on top of the mix where it belongs. It really is one of the things that makes this song great.
She returned the favor to him by performing for him!
Garth did an AMAZING JOB! ❤
People that don't know about etiquette will never know how great that was. He paid her the ultimate respect with that rendition.
I loved this! But can you explain? (From The Netherlands, so do not really gather what you mean) Thanks!!!
@@ellish7555 She sung a song for his Kennedy Center Award and he did one for her.
But just to honor the legacy of someone in the arts (in this case music) is very respectful.
This man's not just got country he's got soul 👍
Country and Soul are both music born of the deep feeling of common people. They have more in common than they differ.
He's always been country, rock, and RnB -- and never afraid to mix them.
Ms. Knight is a national treasure.
Im from the UK and love country music and Garth Brooks is in my opinion one of the greatest entertainers ever ....lucky enough to see him at croke park and i dare anyone to take me to a gig better 😂
Garth does not only sing but he truly feels the music. Best performance 👏
A legend with three total chads pay tribute to another legend. Wow.
Have a lifelong friendship like Garth Brooks e Gladys Knight
Garth is so amazing. This was an amazing rendition. Garth has all the soul of anyone out there. Such an amazing job
It was written as a Country Song. She has said that more than once. He did it justice.
Best voice in country pays tribute to he queen of soul…Go Garth, just too good any time any place
The way he sang “Georgia “ !
Dude needs to release more of his music to the public cause he is pure gold !
Two things: (1) Gotta hand it to Garth, the man is just awesome. That’s the way you honor someone for their art and (2) the REACH of SOUL MUSIC.
I have replayed this video with Garth everyday since it aired. I love the way he sang it.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Impressive, Garth did a great job honoring The Empress of Soul. It is long overdue for her Kennedy Honors!
Dude can sing; did justice to Gladys!
That was so amazing! Garth and the back up were spot on with that performance. And Gladys looks stunning!!
Smiles, so so amazing Suse, feels really great listening, how are you doing?
Garth Brooks paying the ultimate respect to Ms. Knight. Amazing!! 🔥
Go on Garth …you sound great ! What a great tribute ❤❤❤
Me fascina Garth Brooks y esta fue una interpretación con mucho respeto 🫡 me gustó!
Didn't see that one coming...well done
Please dont forget that this song is spectacular also because of THE PIPS with that choreography and that WOOTWOOT.
Go get it Garth! We aren’t that different as people…if we only focused on what makes us come together then what divides us
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! ❤❤❤ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💋💋💋To MS Gladys Knight🌹🌹🌹
Apart from the original, that's the best I've heard.
I really wish this performance was 6:02 rather than just the delicious 3:02 that we got😊... Best cover... of one of my favourite songs...ever!👏👏👏... and those 3 Pips(?!)... As 'sharp as a tack'! ... Well done, everyone!👏👏... Bravo!!!🎉❤🥰
You made Gladys proud Garth !
Yes. You've got soul !
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Look at them pips getting in.. amazing
WOW
That was amazing love Garth
Love this song from Garth Brooks I 😊❤
The "Pips" were on fire🔥and Garth was fantastic
That is so great Garth Brooks getting down on Motown
I adore Garth Brooks but when I saw this i initially I thought “oh no dude” but he sounded just great, I’m glad Gladys appeared to approve as well.
I did not know Garth could step outside country, I thoroughly enjoyed this!
The song was initially written for country genre and called Midnight Plane to Houston. But then the label thought Cissy Houston would do great, changed the title and also get Gladys to do her own rendition
He did a whole album of rock music in '99 and contributed to a KISS tribute album.
Garth did his thing...👏
Hey did an excellent job.
Wow! Wow!! Wow!! Garth, you made Gladys proud 👏👏👏 Hugh Respects ❤🥰🥰
Love GB! Great tribute! 👏😊
O for Awesome
The Best!
Go Garth!
Not a big country music fan but I do enjoy listening to Garth....
Garth Brooks? What a beautiful surprise!
OMG❤❤❤❤
Garth Brooks is SMOOTH, SMOOTH, SMOOTH!
Such great inspire legend I wish they could do the jacksons at Kennedy center honors and the osmonds
garth you the man
What a class act that guy is!!!
Just beautiful. That's what the KCH is all about.
Gladys Knight is a vey classy lady and a great singer. Glad to see she got her recognition for the Kennedy Center.
That was class Mr Brooks
God he is fantastic.
Super Duper Garth
OMg he sang that song so well and im just now seeing this, he was able to kinda cross over as one of the greatest country singers and sing this soul classic by Gladys knight just perfect.
I will alway's love ❤️ Garth Brooks for this !
What a great tribute of respect from a great Country singer to one of the finest R&B singers of the era. And you could see the mutual appreciation lit up in both of them. Now isn't that what makes music great. ❤
Just a brilliant rendition. It just goes to show that an accomplished artist in one genre can often cross over and nail it.
2 legends showing the ultimate respect to each other.......Gladys paid tribute to Garth when he was honored by the Kennedy Center and Garth then paid tribute to Gladys......beautiful
THIS IS WHY WE ROCK WITH GARTH
Truly Good!!
I think it's good to have singers from different genres to do a tribute or just simply cover a classic from another genre. The history has proved it is totally wrong to stay "original" and it is good to bring a bunch of audience in one genre to appreciate another genre. Though of course it sounds pretty different for a country artist to do an R&B classic, the difference makes the world.
Beyoncé's Irreplaceable was adapted from a country record, and Linda Ronstadt's You're No Good was an R&B song by Dee Dee Warwick. They sound great.
That was beautiful!!!
He killled it ….
This is amazing! I see him in a whole new light. The man feels the music. Beautiful. Those background singers too- perfection!
The GOAT honoring a legend!!
❤ him, he can sing anything
Great job... always liked you...
This is so cool
Now I've seen everything.
GARTH is the one!!!
Absolutely amazing!
Wow! Garth was soulful
Just so touching!!!
Garth and the Pips... I'm thinking Garth could have been a bigger superstar in the 70's... 😁
I’ve always like Garth, but never knew he had this kind of range…
Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for this performance since the airing of the Kennedy Honors. As usual, Garth was phenomenal. Brother has soul.
Perfect rendition ❤
Wow ❤ ultimate respect to a beautiful lady
Love this.
