Gladys Knight and the Pips
Female 1960' soul legend went through disco phase in the late 1970's. After
signing to Buddah records, Gladys produced several noteably good disco records
including "It's a better than good time" and "Baby don't change
your mind" (written by Van
McCoy.
There is a Canadian Buddah 12" of "It's a better than good
time" mixed by New York DJ Walter Gibbons. Also look out for the UK-only
12" EP featuring soul classic "Midnight train to Georgia".
Gladys came back late on the disco scene in 1980 for her cover version of John
Davis's "Bourgie bourgie". And the 12" of "You bring out
the best in me" was mixed by John Luongo. Gladys also recorded a version of
Gloria Gaynor's
"I will survive".
