| | |  | RHYTHM & BLUES | Home » » » Gladys Knight & the Pips Feat. Ray Charles: Live in Los Angeles | | | | | | | Description: | | NTSC/Region 0. The great Gladys Knight & the Pips, in their absolute prime in 1977, playing a powerful and beautiful show at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, including the amazing treat of five numbers (as well as some deftly filmed hanging out) from surprise guest Ray Charles, complete with Raelettes. From their first hit, `Every Beat Of My Heart,' through the powerhouse soul explosion of `Heard It Through The Grapevine,' `I've Got To Use My Imagination,' and `Midnight Train To Georgia,' then into gorgeous Streisand territory with `The Way We Were' and `Evergreen,' Gladys Knight displays the big pipes, emotional nuance, and heartfelt humor that make her a Soul legend. The Pips, singing in trademark call-and-response - and executing those famous dance moves - make each song irresistible. And when Ray Charles hits the stage for two solo numbers, and then Ray and Gladys duet, the night is more than complete - until a rousing `Hit The Road, Jack' drives the crowd over the top. Exclusive backstage interview footage only adds to the excitement of this thrilling night of soul star power. Immortal | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 Oh, What A Night!!!!Dec 29, 2007
By Beverly Praiswater
This concert was recorded in Los Angeles in 1977. Amazingly, 30 years later, it has finally been released! It not only features Gladys Knight and the Pips at their peak, but Ray Charles at his as well. All of the vocals are knock outs. Gladys singing "Evergreen" and "The Way We Were" sears with raw emotion. Ray Charles singing "America The Beautiful" stirs the soul. Ray does several numbers with Gladys and several of his famous numbers with the Raylettes. And of course there are all of those cooking classic Gladys Knight and the Pips hits. This is Gladys Knight at her soulful best!

Nice to see this finally on DVDDec 17, 2008
By Blaise SCHMITTER
I have had this concert on Laserdisc (remember those?!) since the early 80's and back then I even had trouble finding it because it had only been released in Japan.
So it's about time that this fabulous concert finds it's way onto DVD. If you're a fan of Gladys Knight like me, you will enjoy every single minute of it.
It's not every day that you can look at history captured on film.
Ray & Gladys at the top of their art.

I am a Motown fan! I am a Detroiter and grew up with the Motown artist. This is a great DVD to add to your collection. Gladys Knight & the Pips have always been a class act! What makes it even more spectacular is the addition of Ray Charles & The Rayettes.

Gladys Knight and the Pips "PrimeTime"Jan 07, 2009
By D. F. Reid
I contiuously search for vintage DVD concerts from my era. When i purchased Gladys and the Pips feat. Ray Charles, my memories of seeing this group live were reincarnated. A great DVD and must have for Gladys Knight and Pips fans. Clarity of DVD and sound reflect technology during time period concert was recorded....not a detriment.
