GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS Visions (2010 issue UK 10-track digitally remastered CD album - For a time in the 1960s and 1970s, Gladys Knight & The Pips were clearly among the elite in the pop world, right up with the best groups of the era. Originally released in 1980, Gladys' performances throughout this album are nothing short of stunning. The way she handles 'Hero', with a bravura aplomb really does indicate that she had a grasp of bringing the gospel approach to soul, while never sacrificing her sensuality. And 'Heaven sent' is tailor made for her vocals. Includes her version of 'Wind Beneath My Wings')
