From one of the best comeback albums of our time, "Landlord" truly put Gladys and her Pips back on track, after a very tumultuous time in their career. By the time this album was released, I was very grateful to see them back on the circuit. This was their first recording in two years.
By the way, rest in peace, Nick Ashford. We have him and Ms. Val to thank for helping Gladys and the Pips achieve their success with this recording.
IT'S STARTS WITH A GREAT SONG, AND ENDS WITH A ARTIST WHO CAN DELIVER IT. ASHFORD AND SIMPSON ARE 2 OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS OF OUR TIME. GLADYS KNIGHT DOES A OUTSTANDING JOB OF MAKING THIS SONG COME ALIVE. I AM A SONGWRITER MYSELF. AND I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO WRITE A GREAT SONG AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN REALLY BRING IT TO LIFE. AMEN AMEN AND AMEN.
@Super3259 you are so correct sir but let us not leave out the producer....he is like the director of a movie....he knows how to create the best sound for the music and gets the artist to hit the correct note!!! This was just truly a great song and G.knight delivered here.....RIP in peace Mr.simpson as u will be missed but you came here to do what the lord meant for you to do and you did it well!!!
Big Bank.. You did it again!.. You have some of the best songs. This is truly a classic. You are right. The lyrics and musicianship is a rare commodity these days.
Aww, sooky!!! This is probably my favorite GK&TP's song after "The Makings Of You" Mama Gladys' vocals have always been so smooth and buttery. If you ever wanna learn how to be a supreme vocalist...She's the TEACHER!!!!!
This is one classic track!!!!!and I just love that pic of Gladys and the pips.What a good looking family they are.Bubba and Gladys almost look like there twinsThanks for sharing!!!
@ChakaFanTV - I saw Gladys a few years ago when she wrote her autobiography and was signing copies at Borders. I couldn't believe how gorgeous she was. She is one of those women who looks better in person than she does in her pictures/videos. I think she was just finishing with Les. If I'd had some sense, I would have slipped her my number. Bump that 25 year age difference - LOL!
@rpm8064 You are right she looks real good for her age and that dirty Les that phoney motivational speaker left her without even letting her know he was about to go. she found out through the media.. He was just using her to promote his own career.Again she looks terrific and is aproaching 70. That old saying is true "BLack don't crack"
Love Glady's and The Pips - Motown was so great - brings back warm memories

Great cut from one of their better albums. "Taste of Bitter Love" and "Save the Overtime For Me" also come to mind.
Thanks bigbankx for uploading!
