Podcast appearances and mentions of Gladys Knight

Singer and actor Josh Groban has sold over 25 million records and performed with legends like Sting, Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand, which is why it was so surprising that he allowed Gilbert and Frank into his home to interview him. In an animated and laugh-filled discussion, Josh shares his passion for comedy, his affection for the “Problem Child” movies and his memories of guest-starring on hit series like “The Office” and “Ally McBeal.” Also, Josh coins a catch phrase, tackles the role of Tevye (at age 17!), mimics Jay Leno and duets with “Adele Dazeem.” PLUS: “The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.”! Gladys Knight & The Pips! “The Beastmaster”! Old Groucho returns! And Josh sings “the hits” of Gilbert Gottfried! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The ladies at Fly Nubian Money discuss Gladys Knight and the fact that she's still working at the age of 82. This could be either because she loves what she's doing or because she's financially desperate. Is there a point where you should be able to stop working and live off your investments? That's the bigger question they're asking today.

Welcome to the Fourth Quarter of Life, Baby!    In Episode 392 of Powell to the People, Tony, Keith, and DP are serving up a massive plate of unfiltered truth, vintage wisdom, and hard-hitting headlines. We're back from the Labor Day weekend and we are NOT holding back! First up, the crew tackles the brutal (and hilarious) reality of aging. From the dreaded "pill tray of shame" to waking up with mysterious tennis elbow, we break down what it really means to be "vintage" in your 60s. (Spoiler: You can't just bounce back from yard work like you used to!) Then, we pivot to the heavy hitters. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is dropping the 9/11 files and checking Rudy Giuliani's legacy, gas prices are absolutely breaking the bank, and the geopolitical map is shifting with new Middle East choke points. Plus, we're calling out the wild political tactics of offering $5,000 for your vote—and why you shouldn't hold your breath for that check.

The guys are back with plenty to address this week, starting with the backlash coming out of California and their response to everything that's been said. From there, the conversation gets into Gladys Knight and whether there should ever be an age limit on performing, Rod Wave vs. Boosie, and a real discussion about fatherhood and what that responsibility looks like at different stages of life. They also react to the news surrounding Dolly Parton's passing and discuss the coverage coming out of Lil Durk's trial. Another week, another algorithm to ignore. Tap in with Fck A Algorithm.

Listeners were treated to a jam-packed show as the crew weighed in on growing concerns surrounding legendary singer Gladys Knight after recent performances sparked debate about her well-being. The conversation comes as Knight announced she is scaling back her live appearances and focusing more on family and personal projects after fans expressed concern over several recent onstage moments. The show also dug into NBA star Jimmy Butler’s ongoing child support case, with reports revealing that Butler and the mother of his three children, Kaitlin Nowak, have reached a comprehensive parenting agreement and are reportedly living together while finalizing remaining legal matters. Court records previously established Butler as the father of the children and included child support payments of $55,000 per month. Meanwhile, Keke Palmer made headlines after clarifying earlier comments about being “asexual,” explaining that she simply does not feel as sexual as society expects and that attraction for her is rooted more in mental and emotional connection than physical appearance. The show also welcomed gospel icon Kirk Franklin, who reflected on his decades-long career, discussed hosting the upcoming Stellar Gospel Music Awards, and introduced his new single, "Thank You for Everything,” featuring Karen Clark Sheard, which serves as the lead release from an upcoming project that blends traditional church music with contemporary gospel sounds. Other notable topics included discussion of President Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” for U.S. government use amid ongoing trade tensions with Canada, along with the show’s signature humor, entertainment news, and lively listener interaction.

Also, the ongoing Wendy Williams saga continues as she was spotted in public for the first time in a while. When asked by the media what she wants people to know about her, she said "I want out." Plus, LMN Washington D.C. correspondent Daniel Grimes is live on the scene for the 2026 March On Washington for voting rights.

Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine is sweet soul—the full emotional spectrum of love in all its forms, from the ache of Al Green's isolation to the soaring hope of Minnie Ripperton's "Beautiful Angels" and everything in between. From Prince's timeless devotion to the bittersweet wisdom of Brenda Holloway and Gladys Knight, these tracks understand that love is both the most beautiful and most painful human experience, and soul music is the only language that can hold both truths at once. It's two hours that move between triumph and heartbreak, joy and loss, connection and loneliness—the complete love story told through voices that refuse to lie about how it really feels.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show tackled some of the biggest stories making headlines, from a landmark Georgia court case to major music news. The crew discussed the sentencing of Georgia father Colin Gray, who received 15 years in prison after being convicted for providing the firearm used by his son in the 2024 Apalachee High School mass shooting, a case that legal experts say could further shape how parents are held accountable when children gain access to deadly weapons.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet composer, performer and producer Gabriel Johnson, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Gabriel Johnson Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- Gabriel Johnson went to the Monterey Jazz Festival at 9 years old - by himself - and witnessed Dizzy Gillespie and Freddie Hubbard on stage. He went home, switched instruments to the trumpet, and the rest is history. Gabe learned to play the trumpet by ear, playing along to Miles Davis, learning "the excitement inside the sadness." A glimmer of hope for Gabe during a difficult childhood. Self taught until later in high school, it wasn't until he was at the New England Conservatory when he learned that what seemed second-nature all along was in fact perfect pitch. A chance encounter with Chris Botti on Gabe's last night in Boston before moving to Los Angeles led to a friendship of over 20 years, and pivotal connections including meeting the manager of Blood, Sweat & Tears, who invited him to be the band's musical director for a year. From hanging out with Clint Eastwood and Robert Redford, to learning recording techniques and producer psychology from David Foster, Gabe has built a remarkable career full of originality and spontaneity, covering soundtracks, jazz, pop and more. With AI creeping into musicians' livelihood, Gabriel has some pertinent advice: individual artist expression is something that can never be replicated, whether by artificial intelligence or another human. Be yourself, be creative, be original. The rest will follow. About Gabriel Johnson:  Gabriel Johnson is an American jazz trumpeter whose lyrical sound and deep musical fluency have earned praise from artists, including David Foster, Clint Eastwood, and Chris Botti.  Gabe studied at New England Conservatory and then moved to Los Angeles and built a wide ranging career as a solo artist, session musician and featured performer. Recording and performing with artists such as Gladys Knight, Steven Tyler, David Foster, Chris Botti , Andrea Bocelli, Lyle Lovett, and Burt Bacharach, he was featured by Clint Eastwood as a trumpet soloist on the film scores for Changeling and Invictus, and has released a substantial catalog of recordings on his Sunset Horn label, blending jazz tradition with cinematic electronic and modern production influences.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle go completely off the rails on WFAN! The guys dive into an unbelievable story about Gladys Knight allegedly gambling away millions in Las Vegas, debate whether the “Midnight Train to Georgia” background vocals are “choo choo” or “woo woo,” and compare the Pips to the Commodores after Lionel Richie went solo.

In this episode we're joined by a legend of '60s pop journalism to discuss her days at Rave magazine and her friendships with the stars of that swinging decade. Maureen O'Grady talks about the lucky break that brought her to Boyfriend magazine and her long friendship with the great Penny Valentine. She recalls her early interviews with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones before we digress into the role the UK played in hailing the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds as a game-changing masterpiece. Plus we ask our guest about Rave and its groundbreaking 1967 issue featuring Jimi Hendrix on its over. The conversation concludes with Maureen's reminiscences of the '70s, a decade in which she worked as a publicist for — among many other artists — Gladys Knight, Glen Campbell and, erm, Gary Glitter. We then celebrate Miles Davis' 100th birthday by listening to clips from the late Richard Cook's 1985 audio interview with that dark magus of avant-garde jazz. Jasper and William talk us out with their thoughts on pieces about the importance (or otherwise) of pop lyrics (2001) and the abuse meted out to female partners — from Yoko Ono to Courtney Love — of male rock stars (2025). Many thanks to special guest Maureen O'Grady. Pieces discussed: The Who did you say?, The Flower Game, The Beach Boys Visit the Animals, The Beach Boys: Complex and Intricate, Brian Wilson Remembers Pet Sounds on the Album's 50th Anniversary, Miles Davis audio, No Language, Just Sound — Looking Well Beyond the Lyric Sheet and Yoko Ono is now getting acclaim, but why do rock stars' female partners get so much abuse?.

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.Lady Dhyana Ziegler, DCJ, Ph.D., is currently President and CEO of Z/Creators, LLC and Professor Emerita of Florida A&M University, U.S.A. .

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastBefore the moonwalk. Before the glove. Before Neverland, before the tabloids, before the world decided it knew exactly who Michael Jackson was — there was a kid in Gary, Indiana who wasn't allowed to touch his father's guitar.Most people know the legend. Few know the price.Michael Jackson didn't have a childhood. He had rehearsals. He had a belt across the chair and a father who saw dollar signs where other dads saw sons. By the time he was eight years old he was performing in nightclubs, watching the adult world at its worst, and being told that was normal. It wasn't normal. None of it was.And yet — out of all of that — came Thriller. The moonwalk. Four consecutive number one singles before he was twelve. A catalog worth billions. A chimp in a matching outfit eating dinner at the table.But also Neverland. Also the allegations. Also a death that still doesn't sit right.This week we start at the beginning — Gary, Indiana, Joe Jackson, the Apollo Theater, Motown, Quincy Jones, and the private world Michael built when he finally had enough money to build whatever he wanted.

"CLARENCE CARTER SLIPS AWAY ON THE MYSTERY TRAIN"When we speak of the deep soul drenched days when certain performers inhabited a heart full of soul so captivating and special that they were ordained as high priests of mournful and lustful magic, we will always recall Soul legend Clarence Carter.Clarence boarded The Mystery Train today, May 14, following struggles with prostate cancer and a battle with pneumonia and sepsis. He was 90.This  blind Southern star from Alabama scored two Top 10 hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s with “Slip Away” and “Patches,” After having hits on the R&B charts (including 1965's “Step By Step” and 1967's “Tell Daddy”), Carter landed on the pop charts – as well as, concurrently, the R&B lists – with 1968's “Slip Away,” a song that highlighted Carter's powerful and emotional baritone voice with a lyric in which the singer implores his married lover for a secret rendezvous Two years later Carter released his biggest pop hit, the Grammy-winning (for Best R&B song) “Patches,” which rose to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Mr. Carter also recorded a number of raunchy novelty songs eschewed by mainstream radio but finding success in later years: The 1968 “Back Door Santa” was sampled by Run-D.M.C. for the 1987 single “Christmas in Hollis,” and the even more explicit “Strokin'” from 1986 was featured on the soundtrack for Eddie Murphy's 1996 remake of The Nutty Professor as well as in William Friedkin's 2011 film Killer Joe.Sleep Well Clarence. The first of the six covers that appear on Please Please Me is a mid-tempo ballad called “Anna (Go to Him),” which was written and first recorded by Arthur Alexander. Chances are that most people who hear the version sung by John Lennon have no idea who Arthur Alexander is—but the Beatles certainly knew, and so did the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan: Alexander is reportedly the only songwriter whose tunes have appeared on studio albums by those three hallowed acts. Elvis Presley recorded one of his songs as well—albeit one that Alexander co-wrote—and so did Otis Redding and Tina Turner and Jerry Lee Lewis and Percy Sledge.Don Covay  recorded for several labels, including Blaze, Sue, Big Top, Fire, Arnold, Fleetwood, Columbia, Epic and Scepter, releasing 'Popeye Waddle' b/w 'One Little Boy Had Money' in 1962 for Cameo Parkway, which became a hit.Don was, by now, recording solo material, and material under the name of Don Covay and the Goodtimers.He penned the U.S. number 1 single 'Pony Time' for Chubby Checker, wrote a hit song called 'I'm Hanging Up My Heart for You', for the Soul singer Solomon Burke, and wrote for Gladys Knight & The Pips, penning 'Letter Full of Tears', which made the top 20.Don formed partnerships with several associates including Horace Ott and Ronnie Miller.In 1964, when he signed to the Rosemart label.His debut single there with the Goodtimers, 'Mercy Mercy' featured Jimi Hendrix on guitar.The following year, Jimi Hendrix played again on the follow up single 'Take This Hurt Off Me' b/w 'Please Don't Let Me Know'.Clarence Carter didn't have it easy while growing up in Alabama; and being Black and blind was an extra burden, but he has overcome many other obstacles in so many ways. “I feel incredibly good about what I've been able to accomplish, but it was not easy. Our world presents challenges and barriers to success for people with disabilities, but I always wanted more in life and believe that the ADA helped me get to where I am today.”I would like to say that Carter now has three “B's” behind his name, Black, Blind and Blessed. Carter is known for serious Blues music, which includes a string of R&B hits. The songs “Back Door Santa,” “Slip Away,” “Patches,” “Too Weak to Fight” and the dance hall hit “Strokin” are part of his Blues legacy.

Interview Date: April 12th, 2026Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Alicia Mae Holloway shares her extraordinary journey from a small-town competition dancer in West Virginia to building a multifaceted career in ballet, commercial dance, modeling, acting, and social media. She reflects on knowing from the age of three that dance was her purpose, and how that conviction led her to leave home at just 13 years old to pursue elite ballet training. From earning a full scholarship to the School of American Ballet to landing her first professional contracts, Alicia's story is one of deep faith, resilience, and bold commitment to her dreams.Alicia also opens up about the realities of a long professional career: painful auditions, injuries, rejection, career pivots, and the mental challenges that dancers face when their identity is tied so closely to performance. She shares how Dance Theatre of Harlem shaped her artistry, how social media unexpectedly expanded her career, and why authenticity matters more than perfection in today's entertainment world. Her advice to young dancers is both practical and inspiring: stay true to yourself, embrace being multidimensional, and remember that rejection is often redirection.Top 10 Show Notes3:58 — Alicia knew dance was her calling6:17 — West Virginia scholarship changed everything9:35 — Moved away from home at 1414:21 — Worst audition led to first contract19:49 — Six-hour audition booked Dance Theatre Harlem21:17 — Mentor predicted her DTH future27:40 — TikTok consistency sparked massive growth35:45 — Talent plus visibility creates more opportunities57:05 — Rejection is redirection, not the end1:09:14 — Dance for yourself, not approvalBiography:Alicia Mae Holloway is from Morgantown, West Virginia and began dancing when she was three years old at Kat and Company Dance Studio.
