Description
Few voices in soul music carry the emotional authority of Gladys Knight, and this CD draws together some of the finest work she and The Pips produced during their commercially triumphant mid-1970s period. The title track ‘Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me’ became one of their most beloved ballads, showcasing Knight’s warm, commanding delivery over lush, polished arrangements. Elsewhere, ‘I Feel A Song (In My Heart)’ and ‘On And On’ demonstrate the group’s rare ability to balance pop accessibility with deep soul feeling. This collection serves as an excellent introduction to one of Motown and Buddah’s most celebrated acts, capturing a run of recordings that remain touchstones of classic soul…
