Greatest hits from the early part of the Gladys Knight and The Pips story. Sorry, Midnight Train to Georgia came later. I've always felt that Gladys had such an underrated voice. Sure, she had hits, but what I mean is... among most people today, when they speak of great R&B/Soul singers, I don't hear her name as much as I feel we should. You can get any party going with a record like this. It does contain GK&P's manic version of Heard It Through The Grapevine, the one that contains the infamous stripper drumbeat demonstrated in the movie, Standing In The Shadows of Motown.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
