Gladys Knight performed for the crowd at The Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, OH this past Friday Night. Ms. Knight, known as “The Empress of Soul”, will be turning 72 in a few weeks. Ms. Knight was overwhelmed by a youthful spirit as she took to the stage waving to the crowd with one of the biggest, most beautiful and infectious smiles that I’ve seen. The seven time Grammy Award winner entertained her fans with her classic hits. “Neither One of Us” and a Teddy Pendergrass classic, “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”, were fan favorites heard that night. Despite a few Mic Issues, Ms. Knight’s vocals sounded strong as ever as she belted out “Midnight Train to Georgia” in astonishing fashion.

The Crowd was moved to sing along and dance in their seats as Ms. Knight made every attempt to reach individuals from the front to the back row. Ms. Knight spoke to the crowd, sharing her faith and expressing her undying gratitude to the fans. She attributed her success to her Savior and closed out the night by transforming the Rose Music Center into a place of worship. She left the crowd with goosebumps and uplifted spirits as she belted out, “Let The Church Say Amen”.
