Gladys Knight demonstrates what today's pop singers lack: using phrasing to convey a sense of emotionalism and immediacy. The way she sings these pieces are so individual and have so much integrity. Even the "shouters" like Aretha and Patti have this ability. I miss this kind of true identification with a great song that people like Gladys Knight exemplify. Thanks for uploading.

Antoine Garth aretha, patti, gladys,barbara striesand are all old school singers....what each of these women could do with a note....AMAZING!!...with the evolution of music we are no longer in a time where music is based on the singing ablity of voclist...we are now in a time where it is about the producer of a song not the vocalist singing it...the industry is influx because of this. people are not buy muisc today because quality music is no longer being made.....the industry is no longer manufacturing quality/talented vocalist.....jennifer lopez, janet jackson are mature new school entertainers but have never ever been vocalists. anyone that has ever taken a singing lesson and can hold a note can be considered a singer...a truly gifted vocalist/singer is one who can contol a note from the time is framed in the diaphragm come up past the throat, out the lips and lands on the listeners ears....ie barbara,aretha.....

Phrasing has always been Gladys’s trademark. She will go down as one of the great songstresses of all time. She’s always been my favorite. I love you Ms Knight and thank you for being the soundtrack of my life.

Gladys Knight...what a powerful voice for such a powerful song. She paints a picture of that house as she reminisces. The violinist adds that special feeling to this very poignant melancholy song.

Gladys brings the music to her and powers over the entire orchestra. Notice her stage presence, hand movements, phrasing, and how she tells a story. Her gospel roots are strong, emotional and timeless. Gladys is one of the great singers of our time. And one person disliked this; how is that possible?

I was so fortunate to have see her debut concert at Carnegie Hall. She brought tears to your eyes, and sent shivers down your spine with every song. Between songs, she could not have been more funny, gracious or genuine. She was as lovely a person as her voice is beautiful. An unforgettable night.
