Information

An extraordinary evening with the one and only Gladys Knight! Known around the world as the “Empress of Soul,” Knight has captivated audiences for over six decades with her rich vocals, heartfelt delivery, and timeless hits. From her early days fronting Gladys Knight & The Pips to her celebrated solo career, she has earned her place as one of music’s most enduring icons.

Over the years, Knight has delivered chart-topping classics such as Midnight Train to Georgia, Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye), and If I Were Your Woman, each showcasing her unparalleled ability to blend soul, R&B, gospel, and pop with grace and power. With seven GRAMMY® Awards and countless honors to her name, her influence has transcended generations and genres, inspiring artists and audiences alike.

This special performance at The Luckman offers Los Angeles audiences the chance to experience a legendary artist whose voice and presence remain as moving as ever. Join us for a night of soul-stirring music, unforgettable memories, and a celebration of one of the greatest voices of our time.

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 a guest star appearance in the FOX hit show Star and appearing in the film Almost Christmas in 2016, both of which were produced and directed by Lee Daniels. She appeared on ABC’s 14th season of Dancing With The Stars in 2012. In 2019, she competed on the inaugural season of The Masked Singer and sang the national anthem at Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta. Knight sang the National Anthem on yet another major sports stage at the 2021 NBA All-Star Game. During the 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. She also received the National Medal of Arts along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bruce Springsteen, Jose Feliciano, and Mindy Kaling. In 2024, she was recognized as a GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree.

Her involvement in other creative undertakings, business ventures, and humanitarian activities has been extensive and has brought 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.
