Podcast appearances and mentions of brenda knight

Matt Crawford speaks with author Lady Dyana Ziegler about her book, Midnight Train From Georgia. Midnight Train from Georgia chronicles the incredible rise of Gladys Knight and the Pips from their origins singing in a small Atlanta church to their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. When two families' destinies intertwine at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, they discover the extraordinary musical talents of their children. Young cousins William Guest, Eleanor Guest, Gladys Knight, Brenda Knight, and Bubba Knight unite their heavenly vocals to form The Pips gospel choir. We follow William Guest from his formative years in Atlanta, where his love of music is kindled by evenings listening to his family perform rhythmic gospel songs on their porch. The Pips' journey takes them from these humble back-porch jam sessions to struggle and sacrifice on the road to stardom. With faith, fortitude and William's grandmother's lessons to guide them, the group overcomes adversity through the transcendent power of their music. Midnight Train from Georgia is an inspiring tale about the bonds of family, church and music. It's a story of poverty to fortune, innocence to experience, and childhood friendship growing into Hall of Fame synergy. Their sweet harmonies touched millions over decades, but it all started with kids finding their voices in a small Georgia choir.

George Noory and author Brenda Knight discuss how the practice of thankfulness can change your life, the importance of modeling kindness to set a good example, and how doing something nice for others will inevitably come back to you in return.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

William Franklin Guest was an original member of the iconic, soulful, multi-Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group, Gladys Knight & the Pips. He was there when the group formed out of friendships and family, playing in churches back in 1952. He was with them for nearly four decades, known as the best dancer of the group, on stage performing hits like Midnight Train To Georgia, I've Got to Use My Imagination, Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me, and I Heard It Through the Grapevine. His story has never been told.Until now. With the release of Midnight Train from Georgia, musical fans will learn not only the details of his storied life, but they will read an inspiring tale about the bonds of family, love, church and music. They will also learn a bit about the music industry and the birth of Motown. It is the time of The Apollo, Soul Train, Ed Sullivan Show, and Dick Clark. It's both a personal story – and one of music history. William's sister-in-law, Dhyana Ziegler, also a songwriter, interviewed William over several years before he died in 2015. The book, which received the Bronze from the Fall 2024 BookFest Awards and an International Impact Book Award in December, 2024, is based off of edited transcripts of those interviews, along with some commentary from Dhyana. Midnight Train from Georgia chronicles the incredible rise of Gladys Knight and the Pips from their origins singing in a small Atlanta church to their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

365 Days of Good Deeds, Inspired Ideas and Acts of Kindness In the hustle and bustle of this busy world, simple kindness and goodness can get left behind in the rush to be first in line, climb to the top of the corporate ladder or have the most "likes" or "followers". BUT, at the end of the day, what does it all mean? Isn't being a good person and making real contributions to the world more important than anything else? Author Brenda Knight, part of the team who made the world a better place with "Random Acts of Kindness" as well as a little more thankful with The Grateful Table, writes: "At the end of life, I feel sure having lots of money, fancy cars and real estate is not nearly as important as how much love you gave to the world." This is the inspiration for her newest book: Be A Good In The World. A discussion that will no doubt provide you with great ideas for making a difference in the world while lifting your own spirit and sense of purpose.
