  • Wow, guess God-given talent can sprout up at any age! 

  • @loondoo Thank you for viewing and commenting.

  • Amen about Gladys Knight at age 7! BTW, Ted Mack's Amateur Hour's forerunner was on radio - Major Bowes' Amateur Hour (some of the Loony Tunes of the '30s spoofed the show ["I Love to Singa", for example], which was more like the later "Gong Show" on TV - even though it produced Frank Sinatra as a winner.  And yes, these shows were forerunners of Star Search, American Idol, etc.

  • Thanks for the 411.

  • Wow, at seven she still had that sound. It's unmistakably her. How wonderful.

  • Gladys is the original Star Search, American Idol, So You Want To Be A Star, etc.

see all
