Saturday Music: Gladys Knight – Let It Be

Gladys Knight sings a ravishing interpretation of The Beatles’ Let It Be. It got me thinking the Great Four were fortunate to sing it first.

Gladys Knight’s ravishing interpretation of The Beatles’ Let It Be got me thinking that the Great Four were fortunate to sing it first. McCartney’s bluesy chords were given a completely new treatment by Knight. I actually thought that, had she only performed this song first, McCartney’s version wouldn’t have been good enough. So, back to our Saturday Music, here’s Let It Be the way you might not have heard it before.

Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas greetings with a short cover of Gladys Knight’s Do You Hear What I Hear in the midst of Moscow snowfall

Together with Gladys Knight I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Let you be blessed, in good health, and let peace and love reign in our hearts and in the world.

I posted Do You Hear What I Hear a few years ago, and I’ve always loved to sing it during the festive season. So this year I recorded my singing its final verse in the midst of the glorious snowfall in Moscow. ​

My Songs by Gladys Knight

I discovered Gladys Knight around 2005 on a free soul CD that came with a Sunday paper. It was Midnight Train to Georgia which I loved for the intensity, the powerful vocals, and the rather unusual male background singers. A few years later I also found a recording of a Christmas carol she made that I previously posted on the blog, but am going to repeat now, too.
