yeah, Curtis Mayfield wrote it and Gladys sings the hell out of it- I've always loved that song (in fact my band "covered it" once, yikes- all instrumental, no singing because, well, don't even . . . )"

I don't much like "Midnight Train to Georgia."

In my defense, I think "I've Got To Use My Imagination" is straight fire.

Anyone rep Gladys in the 80s? Life and Visions are incredibly dope

I only know some of the bigger singles, not the albums as such - but 80s post-disco boogie/electro r&b fit them like a glove.About Love (1980):“Landlord” is good, and both “Taste of Bitter Love” and “Bourgie’, Bourgie’” are sumptuous - all written and produced by Ashford & Simpson.A&S also did Touch with them the next year, never heard it. just listened to its biggest hit, “I Will Fight”: good, but not a patch on TOBL or BB.Visions (1983) obviously has the excellent “Save the Overtime (For Me)”. curious about the rest (tracks with Jam & Lewis, Leon Sylvers!)don’t think I know anything from Life (1985), lots of Leon Sylvers again, should correct and last but not least, All Our Love (1987):“Love Overboard” (a [Reggie & Vinnie] Calloway production) is one of my all-time favourite Gladys + Pips songs, although it starts off as a “Somebody’s Watching Me” knockoff. search the extended version if you can find it: ”S-O-S-O-S-O-S-O-S!”

Gladys Knight had a surprisingly long top 40 career.

listened to Touch today: with the exception of “I Will Fight” (which made me think of Billy Ocean, must be the sax), it’s firmly rooted in the 70s. it’s even got a cover of “I Will Survive” with a Try to Remember-intro.
