Gladys Knight: Imagination
Bob Woffinden, NME, 2 February 1974
COME TO THINK about it, I always did rate Gladys Knight very highly. Take Me In Your Arms and Love Me especially was one of the highlights of Motown Chartbusters Vol. 1; and then there was the beautiful Just Walk in My Shoes and, of course, the torrid original version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine.
