Gladys Knight & Lenny Kravitz On Letterman Tonight 8/29

[milven]

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.

Letterman spared no expense. The band was augmented with full strings, Lenny sat beside her playing, and her background singers were also with her.

Thanks for posting both of those clips. Glady's still has such a strong and pure voice after all these years, her voice has not aged one bit.

I didn't like the song. It's OK for a movie, but it was dreary to me. She was in good voice though. It was Gladys Knight's first appearance ever on David Letterman's Show. I hope Letterman will have her back again.

I was channel surfing last night and caught this. Gladys sounded great. It was her first time there and she acted so excited. She wasn't interviewed, she just sang the song at the end of the show.

Miss Knight has ALWAYS been "Perfection In Performance!" It is so good to hear her voice again!

I didn't realize that she was never on Dave's show. Was she ever on Leno? GK&P must've been on Carson.

I like the song now. It would fit nicely into a Broadway Show. As for it being a commercial hit, I don't know. I don't know what sells in what is left of today's music industry.

Gladys looked and sounded great.

It was funny when Letterman said, she's here let's see how she does....lol! Seriously, Gladys reading of the line "you and I aint nothing no more." Mercy!!!
