One of the dopest parts of the Verzuz battles are the stories in between songs. I cant imagine the stories these 2 got to tell about these records

Here's Gladys' Knights biggest hit, Midnight Train To Georgia

Here's the music video, which is quite remarkable because most songs didn't have videos in that day (1973)

Unfortunately it's not HD.

Anybody on ABW know how to put the HD sound quality to this video?

aint HD but the audio is a bit better than the original video

Once Patti drops If You Only Knew it's a wrap for Gladys

Gladys got like 5 songs then she’s done. A more comparable matchup to go against Pattie would have been Chaka Khan

That's an interesting point, but stylistically I think Gladys and Gladys match up better. They are better pure singers.

Anyway, Patti got this by a long shot. Patti, Gladys, Aretha, Dionne, etc... was all in that same lane, but I think Patti stood out more.

You're crazy!

Gladys Knight been around since the early 60s. You and I might not know all of her hits, but I bet our parents and grandparents know them.

Here's a list of all of her albums

That's 32 albums. And you think she only has "5 songs and then she's done". SMH

Patti top 5 doa

In what category?

Because I give props to people like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. But I'm not sure if you're counting them.
