User Reviews: Best of Gladys Knight & the Pips [Sony Expanded]

  • Overall:

    Gladys Knight & The Pips at their BEST!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 16, 2002

    Covering an era of excellence for the legendary group, "The Best Of..." showcases material from Gladys & The Pips (Merald "Bubba" Knight, William "Red" Guest and Edward "Lil Eddie" Patten)which demonstrates why they are one of the greatest vocal grou...ps in Rock & Roll History. From the opening number, "Landlord", written and produced by another great act, Ashford & Simpson, the listener is immediately put on notice that Gladys takes no prisoners when interpreting a lyric. Hers is a delivery embodying life's emotions -- vividly painted on a vast canvas. Knight proclaims her unwavering committment on the jumpy " I Will Fight", with it's alto sax solo; while she is soft, sexy and intimate on "You're Number One (In My Book)"...Most of the tracks were written and produced by A&S, arguably the best collaboration for Gladys during the 80's...A must have for all (especially GKTP fans)!!!

Pro Reviews: Best of Gladys Knight & the Pips [Sony Expanded]

  • All Music Guide

    The title of Columbia/Legacy's 2001 release The Best of Gladys Knight the Pips is patently untrue. If this was called "The Best of Gladys Knight the Pips: 1980-1985" it would be truth in advertising, since the first 12 tracks chronicle her and the Pips' minor RB hits from that time period. Of these songs, only two -- "Landlord" and "Save the Overtime (For Me)" -- made the pop charts, and while that isn't necessary a sign that they're not great, it does show that a pop-oriented soul group couldn't make the pop charts with these recordings. There is some good material here, since they worked with Ashford Simpson and Leon Sylvers during this time (plus there's the original version of "Wind Beneath My Wings," originally called "Hero"), and this summarizes this era very well (even if the live Motown medley and live versions of "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" feel like tacky tacked-on bonus tracks). Just don't think that this is the best the group did. -... Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Gladys Knight

One of the great soul singers, Gladys Knight was a performer from her childhood years, forming the Pips with her brother Merald and a couple cousins. They made the Top Ten in 1961 with the heavily doo wop-influenced "Every Beat of My Heart," and recorded some fine, nowadays overlooked, pop-soul sides for the Fury and Maxx labels in the early and mid-'60s, sometimes unde... Read more
