Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731454502924 Label: Hip-O Records Manufacturer: Hip-O Records MPN: 545029 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Hip-O Records Release Date: September 28, 1999 Studio: Hip-O Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: While Gladys Knight and the Pips spent large portions of the '60s, '70s, and '80s on the charts, this smart CD is the first attempt to compile high points of their tenures at various labels (Motown subsidiary Buddah, Columbia, MCA). While Knight proved equally at home with smokin' church-bred R&B (the original "I Heard It Through the Grapevine") and uptown pop (an unfortunate medley of "Try to Remember" and "The Way We Were"), she was most effective on plainspoken tales of everyday people. That's the reason "Grapevine," "Midnight Train to Georgia," "You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me," and "Save the Overtime for Me," recorded over a 15-year span, sound so much of a piece. --Rickey Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ultimate CollectionI have some other compulations but this collection is the best! It has all the songs you're looking for. The CD is well produced, recorded. The liner notes are informative as well. This is my second copy...I wore out my first one. I have had this for over 8 years and love it! Rating: - Great CD!This CD was beautifully wrapped and got here in time. It was great to listen to all these old songs again. It took me back. Gladys Knight definitely has a great voice. She certainly never received the credit she deserved. She's one of a kind. I heard she's still touring. You go Gladys! Rating: - Owning This CD Is "ESSENTIAL!"This CD was a gift for my mother for Christmas. I have owned it for about 10-15 years. I grew up listening to the best music, like Gladys, The Spinners, Sam Cooke, The Temptations, Four Tops, etc. My mother loved music and passed that on to her children. This is a great CD with sooo many great songs on it. Gladys takes you back and truly makes you appreciate the old days. Everyone should own this CD. I consider it a MUST OWN! Rating: - Essential Gladys and the PipsOutstanding collection of their earlier work, great harmony, wonderful songs and the great voice of Ms. Knight, five stars. Rating:  - Great classic collection!What a great collection of the goodies from Ms. Gladys and the Pips! The collection spans years of wonderfully raw sound and solid emotion. I love to play this in the car when stuck in traffic in a bad mood. By the time I get where I'm going I'm mellow and singing along. If I Were Your Woman, Midnight Train to Georgia, Neither One of Us, The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me, and The Way We Were rip my heart out and have brought me to tears a million times. The vocals have a raw "been there, know ... Read More |
