I know they have them for some shows, and I bought in the second section thinking we’d be raised up. They need to have risers so everyone has a good view. The only downside was the event center at the Borgata. I hope I have half her energy at that age! What a dynamo! 79 years old and better than ever.

Knight left the group in 1962 after a string of successful releases such as "Letter Full of Tears" to start a family with her husband Jimmy Newman. The group's first record to chart was in fact a cover of Johnny Otis' "Every Beat of My Heart," which made it into the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. After a successful run in the local Atlanta music scene, the group received a record deal with Brunswick Records in 1957 and began opening for legends in the music scene and influences on their style such as Sam Cooke. Over the next few years, Knight and four of her family members (Bubba, Edward Patten, Langston George, and William Guest) formed a performing group to be called Gladys Knight & the Pips. ![]() She had her first breakthrough into the spotlight at the age of 8 when she won Ted Mack's The Original Amateur Hour contest. ![]() As a child and into her teens, Knight sang in her local church choir where she refined her Motown chops.

Knight was also included on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers of All Time list. In 1996, her band Gladys Knight & the Pips was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Over her illustrious career, she has released 10 studio albums, with her debut album Miss Gladys Knight releasing in 1978, and her most recent work Where My Heart Belongs coming out in 2014. The seven-time Grammy award winner has won across three categories including Pop, R&B and Gospel, and has another 22 nominations spanning across five decades.
