Rating: 5 out of 5 A Simply Exquisite Evening With Gladys Knight by Deko on Casino Rama - Rama.Gladys reminded me of soul! Thank you Gladys and her wonderful band. Today's music is lacking the soul and realness in a song. She has a wonderful gift and I would highly recommend people to see her in action. There was a sense of family when she entered the stage and then brought her comedic and talented brother out. Her rendition of "I Hope You Dance" was breath taking. Words cannot describe seeing an icon live! Gladys Knight awakened The inner soul of all who attended. Rating: 5 out of 5 The amazing Gladys! by Quisha on Casino Rama - Rama.There's a lot of "MOTOWN" fans out ease keep us happy. Let's keep the Rama lineup going.this year was a little "boring". I would go see her, Hall and Oates, Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago in a heartbeat. I've seen her a few times and she just gets more classy each time. What an amazing show!!!She is such a wonderful entertainer.

Knight left the group in 1962 after a string of successful releases such as "Letter Full of Tears" to start a family with her husband Jimmy Newman. The group's first record to chart was in fact a cover of Johnny Otis' "Every Beat of My Heart," which made it into the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. After a successful run in the local Atlanta music scene, the group received a record deal with Brunswick Records in 1957 and began opening for legends in the music scene and influences on their style such as Sam Cooke. Over the next few years, Knight and four of her family members (Bubba, Edward Patten, Langston George, and William Guest) formed a performing group to be called Gladys Knight & the Pips. She had her first breakthrough into the spotlight at the age of 8 when she won Ted Mack's The Original Amateur Hour contest.
As a child and into her teens, Knight sang in her local church choir where she refined her Motown chops. She has a sister (Brenda) and two brothers (Merald "Bubba" Jr. Gladys Knight was born in Atlanta, Georgia to Merald Knight Sr. Her most recent appearances came when she played herself in Coming 2 America in 2021 and when she wore the bee costume on "The Masked Singer" in 2019. Off the stage, Knight has authored two books, including a biography titled Each Line of Pain and Glory: My Life Story, and made various appearances on television and the big screen. Knight was also included on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers of All Time list. In 1996, her band Gladys Knight & the Pips was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Over her illustrious career, she has released 10 studio albums, with her debut album Miss Gladys Knight releasing in 1978, and her most recent work Where My Heart Belongs coming out in 2014. The seven-time Grammy award winner has won across three categories including Pop, R&B and Gospel, and has another 22 nominations spanning across five decades. Although she's perhaps best known for her original rendition of the R&B classic "I Heard it Through the Grapevine (1967)," Knight has remained in the limelight as one of the all-time greats for the last 60 years. One of Motown's most iconic acts, Gladys Knight, returns to the big stage in 25 cities across North America for her 2022 tour.
