The group is best known for their string of hit singles on Motown's 'Soul' record label and Buddah Records from 1967 to 1975, including the songs "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (1967) and "Midnight Train to Georgia" (1973). The longest-lived incarnation of the act featured Gladys Knight on lead vocals alongside backup singers 'The Pips', which included her brother Merald "Bubba" Knight as well as their cousins Edward Patten and William Guest.
Gladys Knight, born on May 28, 1944, developed her singing style while singing with her family at Baptist church functions. Though the group first released recordings in 1958, their career really got started when Motown founder Berry Gordy witnessed them perform at Harlem’s Apollo Theater in 1966 and felt very impressed. With a career following spanning decade after decade, featuring many hits, the group has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

That lead guitar is classick/crazy damn good! Got to give it to them Sylver boys. They were actually the hottest music writers/composers in the 80's. Props to Leon & Edmund, true players in music industry.

Outstanding! One of those old school party songs that makes me want to dance the night away. They don't make 'em like this anymore!

The album that this track came from was one of their finest. The cuts on it were awesome, like "wind beneath my wings" or " save the overtime". I remember buying it almost 30 years ago. I still play it today......soul at its best.

I agree!!!

Got to agree, great album. every year I go to Caister and you're guaranteed to hear this mixed with 'Save the Overtime'. It's just a Godsend, particularly with all the rubbish played up there.
