The legendary "Empress of Soul," Gladys Knight has had a deep influence on the music world throughout her five-decade career. From August 7-9, Knight will be bringing her one-of-a-kind performance to The Orleans Showroom.
Gladys Knight made her solo singing debut at the age of four in a Baptist church in Atlanta. In 1952, shortly after winning a prize for her performance on the televised TEd Mack Amateur Hour, eight-year old Gladys formed The Pips with her brother, sister and two cousins. With young Gladys supplying the throaty vocals and The Pips providing impressive harmonies and graceful choreography, the group went on to achieve icon status, recording some of the most memorable songs of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.Top 20 hits like "Every Beat of My Heart," "Letter Full of Tears," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and "If I Were Your Woman," set the stage for an amazing run in the mid-‘70s. Top 10 gold-certified singles such as "Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Good-bye)," "I Have Got to Use My Imagination," "Best Thing to Ever Happen to Me" and the No. 1 smash-hit "Midnight Train to Georgia" established Gladys Knight and The Pips as the premier pop/R&B vocal ensemble in the world.Tickets are now available starting from $74.95, plus tax. Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 702.365.7075 or visiting www.orleanscasino.com.
