Thanks for remembering Gladys. It's truly a shame she didn't record more after leaving Motown because her voice never lost any of its ability. She was instantly recognizable even if [[sometimes) she and Wanda could sound quite a lot alike.

Gladys Horton was always a real Rock N Soul star. I feel blessed to have seen them on that Otis Redding Tour in 1966.Gladys had that "IT" factor in relating to the audience. I always thought "This Night Was Made For Love" would have been a hit follow up to "Young & In Love". In the 80-'s when my brother was in Calif. visiting Mary Wells, Gladys came over & played them a demo that she wrote & recorded called "Space Rock Radio" & my brother said it was great. Too bad she had so many problems with the fakes.

I saw them in 1966 at an outdoor concert in City Park in Toledo, OH. Their new record was "Don't Mess With Bill" at the time.

This is a fantastic performance by Gladys, one of my favorites. It's easy to forget just how young these ladies really were at the time because here, Gladys has such a mature, jazzy, adult sound.
