@@sludge4125 Lol... what does your comment even mean in regards to the original comment?!?! You proved his point precisely... As time goes on things change, and like wine, some things get better...
@@JonahJojoTheMan # How about that... If he's found the Fountain of Youth, I wish he let me in on it... I wouldn't mind shedding a couple years, going back to around the age of 25 or 30... LOL!!!
Gladys Knight. One of the best vocalists of all time. And I mean of all time. How young she was here and sweet. ..but behind that, immensely powerful. A voice that cuts through the hardest armour straight to the soul.
I was born in 1978 and this is one of my all time favorite songs. Gladys is a classy lady and this is the kind of woman our young nation needs to look up to! The world would be a much better place with more celebrities like her!
i wasn't even born back then, but there's something in this song that taps into my emotional string, and makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. no bullshit, i shed a tear every time i hear this song.
“Woo-woo!” The Pips’ deathless contribution to one of Gladys Knight’s best loved tunes is an impression of a steam train. All the rest of the song’s swinging soul power is down to Knight’s convincing devotion to a man whose dreams of LA stardom have gone tits up, and Jim Weatherly’s less-is-more lyric: “I’d rather live in his world than live without him in mine“. Devastating.
@@huffwayno yes she was is and always is so beautiful. I remember when she was on the tv shows that she was so captivating.. I used to dance around pretending i was one of the pips.. Lol
Great job. 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.
She looks so much like Kelly Rowland in this clip and still so beautiful to this day if they do the movie we know who playing her ain't no going back on that.
She is so stinking cute! But then that voice comes out, and bam! Kicks my butt every time. Recently saw Summer of Soul documentary. The Pips were some bad dudes. Super tight moves and fantastic harmonies. Like rock music, imo the 70’s decade was the pinnacle of soul music.
Those of us of a certain ages will always remember the great voices and groups. This is one of the best vocals ever written and Gladys Knight and the Pips are timeless!
Awwwww man, it doesn't get any better than this. They say that Aretha Franklin is the Queen.....I say no. Gladys Knight is the whole package, and she's a WONDERFUL person as well.
😭when I see such a gorgeous woman singing like that it hits me right in the feels. I needed that and I must go look for a tissue to dry my eyes. Always liked that song. Love this performance.
I was 9 years old at the time this was recorded.. But my family all knew - I was gonna marry Gladys Knight when I grew up! I'm gonna be 57 this year... I am still just as smitten!
I have tremendous respect for performers who have the balls to perform live like this on TV. Most of the TV shows have groups/singers lip syncing - Gladys & the Pips - true talent - true pros - ALL CLASS. !!!!
brings back so many memories when all people of all colors really tried to get along by appreciating talent and respect for one another unlike today everyone seems to have a chip on their shoulder and so unhappy

Music from the heart and soul... Gladys you are a vocal treasure. The Pips, a rare talent. Rest In Peace Red and Edward. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
I wish I was one of them...look at the moves the real show is right there... their vocals soooo precise and sooo soul. Sooo blues She is good but their are from another planet So Humble that makes them God’s vocalists!!!!!! The show is their vocals. Their moves. I’m in love with the Pips
I am in the year 2024 and still listening to this great song by Ms Gladys Knight.
50 years and still magical! 🌹
A once-in-a-generation voice. Beautiful inside and out, and the Pips are the picture of subtle sophistication.
Gladys looks like a million bucks here. What a fabulous look for her
This lady is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!
This has to be one of the greatest performances of all time.
Gladys Knight was a super babe with an amazing voice and The Pips were smooth operators. What a great combo! :)
+Squirrel Attackspidy: Indeed! Gladys was one hot babe with her little bedroom eyes. Regards
She was the best.
1st crush. I was 5. Mums records.
Yeah!
I totally agree with you. Cheers 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🇳🇿🏴
One of the best-written songs and one of the best voices in music. What a powerhouse combo!
I cried watching this video. It's too beautiful. This time doesn't exist anymore and won't return.
Absolutely!!!
No, you just got old.

Oh my God, the Pips and their dance moves. LEGEND.
the pips be killing it.
Gladys. Was so beautiful
Man, they tore it up!!!! Love love LOVE Gladys Knight and the Pips. Love that husky, soulful voice. And she's so beautiful...
Still love this song
as captivating as it was 50 years on... Love it!! yah she does look a million bucks....
Oh my god, she was stunningly beautiful! Pure class! What an amazing talent...
The pips and the temps, moves as smooth as silk.
Power, elegance and class. Amazing.
My favorite song 💞, and the memories behind the song.?????????
This was done in 1974 and forty years Gladys voice was just as good 40 years on. Just beautiful Gladys; just beautiful in every respect.
Oh wow it was such a thrill to watch the midnight special when I was growing up
The talent of her era is breathtaking even to me today. Replacements are hard to find. God bless them all.

TRUTH ❤️
I was born in 1978 and this is one of my all time favorite songs. Gladys is a classy lady and this is the kind of woman our young nation needs to look up to! The world would be a much better place with more celebrities like her!
I was born on the same day but different year!!
This is real music!
Hall of fame song.Period.
Still here in 2021 for the Pips amazing dance moves ❤ And Miss Gladys Knight❤
i wasn't even born back then, but there's something in this song that taps into my emotional string, and makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. no bullshit, i shed a tear every time i hear this song.
funny, I was there, only 7 in 1974, and feel exactly the same.
This is a song about deep deep love.
great songs do that...
same here
Listen to the stylistecs.
40 years later.....super nr !!! Never boring ....
Wow! That voice! Perfection. You can see the joy in her when she was performing.
Most artists didn’t sing live on those tv shows back then. This is so nice to see and hear.

One of my All-Time favorites. Glady's is a Class Act!
in 1974 I was 1 20 year old student at UC Berkeley. I was sudying to be a chemist, but I really wanted to be a Pip more than anything else..
WAS SHE BEAUTIFUL...I watch this clip daily...I love to look at her...
i agree
CRUSH on this clip...
She looks so innocent Rick
Drop dead gorgeous!

Great observation!!🙏🏾🎯
She actually played Gladys on a tv role and did a really good job!

Gladys Knight & The Pips "Midnight Train To Georgia" (1974) are the best performance and show in history! They warm harts and souls.
Why don't we have performers and music like this any more?
Because Rap......
@@jab7168 Yes you are right, but I don't think rap is singing.
@@ex-cabincrew valid point
Collectivism
Check out Danielle Schnebelen out of Kansas City, Samanatha Fish out of Nola,
Everything about this is so good I just can't even
wish i could be a pip and accompany the most soulful lady ! they created their own reality beautiful and shared it with us
I just saw Gladys in the audience at the Austrailian Open (2020) She looks wonderful. A great grandmother of 10!
God bless everyone and MARANATHA! 💖
Hello Krissy, How are you doing?
Utter, utter quality ❤️
AMAZING VOCALS and GLADYS still sounds the same after almost 60yrs in the business...WHAT A LADY!!...No one can duplicate her talent.....MUCH LOVE❤❤

Just pure, good Ole fashioned music
One of my favourite songs of all time
I've loved this lady for ever!
Awwwww man, it doesn't get any better than this. They say that Aretha Franklin is the Queen.....I say no. Gladys Knight is the whole package, and she's a WONDERFUL person as well.
The honesty pours though. That was great.
I don't know who is cooler in this, Gladys or The Pips...but either way, they're all cooler than just about anything I've ever seen.
Gladys did a great job at the Superbowl on the National Athem, tonight. She is a class act. Love her!
Could you ever hear a better live performance.? Simply breathtaking
I saw them twice in Westbury Music Fair on Long Island. Always loved Gladys........and the Pips too.
Glady's voice and the Pips harmony and moves............ It's like sensory overload.
I wasn't born then but still listening in 2022..❤❤❤

Sensacional Gladys Knight ...
I used to listen to this on my transistor radio when I was 13. Love love love it. Makes me cry these days….
Love this song and the only Gladys Knight and her Pips.
Hello Kay, How are you doing?
Legendary! Probaby a good chance I watched this live in 1974. Lucky Me!
It was # 1 the week I left home, for the first time, to go to Basic Training. I’ll always have strong memories of the song for that.
There are classics and there are CLASSICS . awesome
😭when I see such a gorgeous woman singing like that it hits me right in the feels. I needed that and I must go look for a tissue to dry my eyes. Always liked that song. Love this performance.
Now THAT'S proper singing
I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine... wish I had a girl like that
Like excellent wine, her performance improved with age.
Amazing vocals with a lady of class 🌝
Had to stop by tonight for my periodic Gladys fix......she worked it.
This version is TOO FAST...Not the original
I was 9 years old at the time this was recorded.. But my family all knew - I was gonna marry Gladys Knight when I grew up! I'm gonna be 57 this year... I am still just as smitten!
This song will forever rotate in my personal top 5. Gladys could really belt one out! Love this song and this video, with Wolfman Jack!
My first cassette was Gladys Night and the Pips, 1977. Powerful
What a voice....beautiful, powerful, wonderful lady...
I have tremendous respect for performers who have the balls to perform live like this on TV. Most of the TV shows have groups/singers lip syncing - Gladys & the Pips - true talent - true pros - ALL CLASS. !!!!
In 1972 this song swept the Grammys. Because it is the finest song in American hisrory.
brings back so many memories when all people of all colors really tried to get along
by appreciating talent and respect for one another unlike today everyone seems to have a chip on their shoulder and so unhappy
maybe you need to read some more history...this was only 6 years after the Watts riots and the same year as the violent Boston school busing protests

love her expressions. such great energy!
Wish I could be 18 again in my teenage years and saw this live in 1974, 67 now, and hope Gladys music lives on forever.
Music from the heart and soul... Gladys you are a vocal treasure. The Pips, a rare talent. Rest In Peace Red and Edward. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Thank you Lord for a beautiful song!
you will never hear music as classy as this ever again.
I love this song
I never saw it live. She was so beautiful and young
I wish I was one of them...look at the moves the real show is right there... their vocals soooo precise and sooo soul. Sooo blues She is good but their are from another planet So Humble that makes them God’s vocalists!!!!!! The show is their vocals. Their moves. I’m in love with the Pips
