Great Singers: Gladys Knight

Gladys Maria Knight (born May 28, 1944)
 

       The Major voice of Soothing Soul, Gladys Knight, has that vocal range that relaxes your inner anxieties. She is one of the few singers that you never get used to hearing; every venture into her Musical Oasis is always rewarding. Take a listen here: If I were your woman , Neither one of us (wants to be the first to say goodbye) , Midnight train to Georgia and You're the best thing that ever happened to me
