Gladys Knight and Lenny Kravitz will be on Letterman tonight. She will sing the new song that Lenny wrote for her. It is played in THE BUTLER.
The movie has a clip of Gladys Knight & The Pips singing Midnight Train In Georgia. People who saw the screenings of the show hear Midnight. But since then, Lenny wrote a new song for Gladys and it is what is now heard in the movie while seeing GK&P singing Midnight. It is a short clip, but I guess it is long enough for it to be considered a new song written for a movie and will probably be nominated. The nomination would go to Lenny, but I am sure that they will invite Gladys to sing it on the Oscar Telecast.
I saw the movie yesterday and it was amazing. It's even more amazing to bring youngsters to see it and then discuss the movie afterwards with them.
The movie is more than just history. It's the story of a family. The father of that family just happens to work in the White House as a butler and witnesses a lot of history.
Here is a clip of Gladys in rehearsal recording the song for the movie. The full song is available on Amazon and probably I-Tunes too.
