The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last sixty years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time GRAMMY® Award winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop, Gospel, R&B, and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performance.
All told, Knight has recorded more than 38 albums over the years, including four solo albums: “Good Woman” (1991); “Just for You” (1994); the inspirational “Many Different Roads” (1999); and “At Last” (2001). “At Last” showed the world that she still has what it takes to record a hit album, employing the talents of contemporary producers like Randy Jackson.
Knight has continued to spread her acting wings, making guest appearances in the FOX hit show “Star” and the film “Almost Christmas” in 2016, both of which were produced and directed by Lee Daniels. This past 2022 holiday season, she starred in “I’m Glad It’s Christmas” on Great American Family and received the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for Lifetime Artistic Achievements along with George Clooney, Amy Grant, Tania Leone, and U2 in December.
In addition, this past March, she received the National Medal of Arts along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bruce Springsteen, Jose Feliciano, and Mindy Kaling. This year she will be honored as a 2024 GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree.
Her involvement in other creative undertakings, business ventures, and humanitarian activities has been extensive and has earned her honors from industry and community alike. In 2015, a portion of Atlanta’s State Route 9 from Peachtree Street to 14th Street was officially named Gladys Knight Highway.
Clear bags are required for this event.
Tickets for this performance range from $46.25 - $126.95, applicable fees.
