Gladys Knight is a treasure trove filled to the brim with music straight from the heart, a rare gem in a world where this kind of style and talent are not often seen anymore.
She broke into the music industry in 1978 with her debut album, “Miss Gladys Knight”, after which she joined The Pips, releasing several chart-topping and award-winning hits, such as “Letter Full of Tears”, “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”, “The Nitty Gritty”, “I Don’t Want to Do Wrong”, the Grammy Award-winning “Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)” and “Midnight Train to Georgia”. As a solo artist, Gladys Knight also released multiple highly successful solo albums, with smash hits such as “Men”, “Superwoman”, and “License to Kill”.
Gladys Knight has a way of leaving lasting impressions on concertgoers and music lovers, pouring out her heart into songs that span the spectrum of human emotion. To say that she is brilliant would be an understatement, and the proof is in the proverbial accolade-pudding: she is a ten-time Grammy Award winner; received an Essence Award for Career Achievement and a Soul Train Music Award for Lifetime Achievement; was inducted in the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and also received an honorary doctorate in Performing Arts from Shaw University, among many others.
The Farewell Tour is a celebration of Gladys Knight’s extensive, illustrious, and ground-breaking career, packed to the brim with iconic music that captivated the world back then and will continue to for a long time to come. She oozes the Southern aura through her soulful vocals and grace, allowing an audience to get totally swept away in unforgettable moments of romance, mystery, and charisma.
Gladys Knight’s Farewell Tour is the one concert everybody needs to see, and there are few places better than at the magnificent NYCB Theatre at Westbury, also known as the Westbury Music Fair. The 3,000-seat theatre’s famous circular stage will allow the audience to get up close and personal with the Empress of Soul, which is indeed a unique, immersive, once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience not to be missed.
