The story of Gladys Knight, the legendary R&B singer/actress known for hits such as "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)", is not filled with the tragedies that have befallen many of her contemporaries, but she certainly has had her share of setbacks. She eloquently describes her bad marriages, racial barriers, and a big gambling addiction, all of which took their toll. She candidly discusses her first experience with racism, after winning a singing contest at age 7, a sexual assault suffered when 15, then a pregnancy and miscarriage at 16. She then goes into detail about her court battle with Motown, and another court battle in which she lost custody of her youngest son.moreless
