  A true child prodigy, Gladys Knight was born in Atlanta in 1944 and has been earning her way as a singer since the age of four. By the time she was in high school, she was singing in juke joints and nightclubs as the opening act for the likes of Sam Cooke, Ike and Tina Turner, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, B.B. King, Jackie Wilson and Little Richard. And then there was the Motown years and the multi-Grammy award winning ones that have followed. Along the way she faced many of life's most difficult challenges, including racism, sexual assault, addiction and recovery, along with her struggle as an independent woman of the world. This book tells the story of the soulful voice behind such songs as Midnight Train to Georgia , If I Were Your Woman , and I Heard it Through the Grapevine .
