You go Gladys

Proud Mary is one of the greatest performances ever!

Gladys is one my two favorite female singers from the 60s - 70s era. “Neither One of Us” still sends shivers up my spine with that performance. The other singer was Marilyn McCoo of the 5th Dimension. Just something about her voice.

Gladys, I'll trust in you.

She’s exercising white privilege. She’s more black than Colon K.

Best version of “neither one of us” . So much soul here - just killer. https://youtu.be/8FT5QF4JZUA

The NFL will now probably disinvite her.

“Previously a Baptist, in 1997 she was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, following her son and daughter.”

So for all you here who trash Mormons, here’s a lady who is a decent person who is one. And until a couple of years ago, she was a neighbor of my SIL in Las Vegas.

The organization probably will rescind her invite. Having a patriotic American participating ... they simply cannot have that.

In her musical career, Gladys Knight conveyed a sense of poise and dignity. I suspect that, like many Black Americans, she genuinely and deeply loves our country and respects our national anthem.

Gladys Knight is a great member of the LDS (Mormon) church! I love her!

Gladys Knight and Tina Turner, get my Glycerin pills boy I think my heart or something is about to explode.

What the hell is a Kaepernick? Those little snacks they give out at weddings?

I hope the Pips are armed. She’ll need good security.

Gladys Knight - a fellow American...
