Do you prefer the motown years or the buddha years,
and what`s your favorite songs?



"Midnight train to Georgia"
"So sad the song"
"Nobody but you"
"Don`t say no to me tonight"
"Be yourself"
"Signed Gladys"
"Taste of bitter love"
"Neither one of us"
"Everybody is a star"
"It's up to You (Do What You Do)"
"Come back and finish what you started"
"Walk softly"

Not to forget If I were your woman and I don't want to do wrong.

I prefer the music they made after they left Motown....

"Midnight Train To Georgia" (1973)
"I've Got To Use My Imagination" (1973) (my favorite song by them!)
"Landlord" (1980)
"You're Number One (In My Book)" (1983)

Me too, it seems like they just didn`t get the right material when they were at motown, their music got so much more soulful ather they left.

I`ve been listening to the "One and only" album a lot lately, i LOVE it

I'll add "The Best Thing That Ever Happened" to the list.

Love me some Gladys.

Have you heard "Signed Gladys"?

Icicle said:

Nope. I'll have to check that out.

Glayds can still sing, a true pro.

She sure can. Her performance at last years BET Awards said it all. She was singlehandedly the best performer of that night. I almost cried because of how beautiful her voice STILL is.

Her voice is AMAZING to this day!!

My fave may be Neither One of Us or If Were Your Woman

"Make Yours A Happy Home" off the Claudine soundtrack is one of my favorite Gladys and the Pips songs.

I love all their early hits in the Motown days. But they did come out with some FUNK in the 80's. Does anyone remember "Love Overboard"? That song is FONKY!!!

Just listen to Aretha Franklin, her voice is nothing compared to what it used to be... Gladys Knight sounds almost better than she did before.

Icicle said:

YUP... did you catch Gladys on the BET awards last year?? Blew those bitches OUT!!!

CalhounSq said:

1. Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
2. The Man I Love
3. Good Morning Heartache
4. Since I Fell For You
5. God Bless The Child
6. This Bitter Earth
7. I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)
8. Someone To Watch Over Me
9. But Not For Me
10. I'll Be Seeing You
11. Stormy Weather

I love Gladys! I think she is underrated and she never got the props she deserved. I think she's way better than Aretha, in my opinion
