Gladys Knight [2015] - Soon [Many Roads Records]

If you've not heard "Soon" from Gladys Knight then you're in for a treat. A reworking of the Commodore's classic "Zoom" (1977) blended with S.O.S. Band's "Tell Me If You Still Care" (1983) (sampled recently by Yummy Bingham on her single "Tell Me"). 

It was released as a single in 2015 and followed her gospel album "Where My Heart Belongs" and has a gospel feel. It reached top 5 on UK soul chart in 2015.

Surprisingly, "Zoom" was never released as a single in the US (only UK and Holland) and the album it came from was titled "Zoom" in Europe and "Commodores" in US and rest of the world.

Thanks again to Gary Van Den Bussche who played it on his show today and also promoted it back in 2015.

Gladys Knight (for International Women's Day)

Ok we've had female artists from 40s, 50s and 60s, now for the 70s and it's the turn of Gladys Knight, probably the best female singer on Motown who must regret not offering a better deal before she left for Buddah in 1973 where she had four consecutive Top 10 Pop hits and her only #1 with 'Midnight Train To Georgia'.

Here's three of her biggest hits recorded live in 2019 at the age of 75!
