I read Gladys Knight's autobiography a little while back [["Between Each Line of Pain and Glory"), and I found it interesting that she often refers to her "good girl" reputation growing up and among other musicians on the road. From her music, I never really thought of her that way - her songs [[not to mention her voice!) always sounded too mature and complex for me to think of her as the "good girl" type. Maybe more of a "classy professional" instead, and often downright seductive [["Help Me Make It Through the Night" and "If I Were Your Woman" anyone?).

What do you all think? I only started hearing her in the 80s [[I was born too late!) so maybe I missed the part of her career where she was marketed as a "good girl"...
