5.0 out of 5 stars Gladys, At Last!!!, March 2, 2001

After a 3 year wait, Gladys Knight has released a new album of original material. This is a cd full of love songs. Songs of love between a couple, love amongst family, and the love of God. The songs range from slow ballads to mid-tempo jewels. Gladys Knight's voice has withstood the test of time. She still has that effervescent quality, that sparkle in her throat. She can still effortlessly belt out lyrics from her heart. Throughout the first half of the cd, Gladys relies mainly on her lower register, but by about the ninth song Gladys takes it up a notch. She floors you with emotion. Song 4, "Grandma's Hands", is really the pearl of this cd. It delineates the love of a tender grandmother. Also, her duet with Jamie Foxx gives and adds depth to their acting together on the "Jamie Foxx Show." Gladys' tribute to her late mother and son entitled "Something Blue", is painfully touching. Gladys is more beautiful than ever at 57. She still has all that it takes to be one of my very favorite singers. She has returned "At Last."

I purchased Gladys' last CD "Just for You" back in1994 when it was released and every track was breathtaking!!!! I havewaited so long for her new album and with many delays in release, itis finally here!! "At Last" is an absolutely provocative,gorgeous, emotional and one of her best recordings as a solo artist,if not her best!!!!!!!! She is an extremely classy lady and throughmany ups and downs in her life has never shown so brightly!! Everysong is a highlight but if I had to pick the top 4 tracks...they wouldgo as follows:

1. Just Take Me- A gorgeous ballad about love andrelationships!! It brought me to tears the 1st time and I listen tothis track 3-4 times every day since buying the album! 2. I Said YouLied- Another mid tempo song about relationships. Very pretty songwith a powerful message! 3. Something Blue- A powerful song aboutlosing someone close to you and finding the strength to go on. Shededicated it to her song. Emotional song! 4. Do You Really Want ToKnow- Excellent song and also the debut song off the album! Amidtempo groovy kind of track!

This Cd is amazing! For anyone whowants to sit back and listen to a great R&B album that takes youto many levels, BUY THIS CD!! The liner notes also say who each songis dedicated to!

Glady's I am so glad you are back "AtLast"!!!!

Even after all these years in the music business, Gladys Knight still has a beautiful, strong voice. They need a radio station for old diva's and old singers, because this CD will not be able to make it in the "shake it fast, watch yourself", market called urban radio.
