Gladys Knight & The Pips - Love Is Always On Your Mind FLAC album
Love Is Always On Your Mind is a relatively unknown classic. Great to be able to pick this up for a fraction of the price compared to the original press. This and the Melba Moore, Standing Right Here both sound pretty bad IMO. I think I will stick to my Glady's album for Love Is On Your Mind and shelf this release. Reply Notify me 2 Helpful.
Gladys Knight & the Pips were an R&B/soul family musical act from Atlanta, Georgia that remained active on the music charts and performing circuit for three decades. Starting out as simply The Pips in 1952, derived from a cousin's nickname, the founding members were Gladys Knight, brother Merald "Bubba" Knight, sister Brenda Knight and cousins Eleanor and William Guest.
Absolute funk fire from Gladys and co; "Love Is Always On Your Mind" is arguably one of their most overlooked jams in history. Heavily swung and quite gritty in comparison to their other work, it's an instant floor display lavished with stacks of energy and groove. Silky soul disco at its finest. Another white hot reissue success from Buddah.
This is really a 10 minute plus tour-de-force of relentless Disco with Gladys's impassioned vocals doing their usual superlative job. Mint 12 inch copies are reputedly worth £200 but the fact is that there's no mint original ones left anymore. The Legendary Zing Album. LP19,99 €. Trammps, The - The Legendary Zing Album LP.

When producer/songwriter Van McCoy worked with Gladys Knight & the Pips, he usually did well by the group. It was McCoy who wrote "Giving Up" and "Lovers Always Forgive," two of their best pre-Motown singles of the early 1960s - and he also proved to be an asset to Gladys Knight & the Pips when he co-produced their 1977 LP, Still Together. But at the same time, no one would mistake this album for McCoy's club-oriented Disco Baby. Even though he gave the single "Baby Don't Change Your Mind" a certain amount of disco gloss, this is a soul LP first and foremost. Five of the eight songs on Still Together were co-produced (with Charles Kipps), arranged, and written or co-written by McCoy, including "Baby Don't Change Your Mind," the ballad "Walk Softly," and the sentimental "Home Is Where the Heart I.
