GLADYS

Gladys Knight is an iconic singer.
She became popular in thr laste 60's-early 70's
as the lead singer in the group,
Gladys Knight and the Pips.
The "Pips" were her brother and cousins.
Her most popular song was
Midnight Train to Georgia.



Gladys's son became a member of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He had the missionaries teach her.
She became a member.


Gladys also appeared on the show,
Dancing With The Stars




Many music stars were asked to perform the
National Anthem and the half time show of
Super Bowl LIII, where they are seen by
billions of people around the world.
They declined.
They were still supporting Collin Kapernick, formerly
of the San Francisco 49ers. Kaperick took a knee
during the National Anthem to protest
police violence and supporting black people.
When his contract expired, it was not renewed,
and no other team picked him up.
This was in 2016, and people are still supporting him.

Gladys Knight was asked to sing the
National Anthem, and she accepted.
It was one of the 2 best renditions ever . . . along with
Whitney Houston.




God bless America, and God bless Gladys Knight!
