New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents Gladys Knight with special guest Will Downing on Thursday, August 29th at 8:00 p.m.

An evening of classic and contemporary soul, R&B and more with legendary singer and 7-time GRAMMY winnerGladys Knight, and special guest Will Downing, music's "Prince of Sophisticated Soul."

Gladys Knight is a genuine living legend of American music. During her illustrious career, she's earned No. 1 hits on the pop, gospel, R&B and adult contemporary charts. Knight's singular songbook includes timeless titles like "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Neither One of Us," "License to Kill," "That's What Friends Are For," and a lot more.
