Gladys Knight was one of five honorees Wednesday night (Dec. 28) at the Kennedy Center Honors. The Empress of Soul was feted with show-stopping performances from some of today’s biggest artists, including Garth Brooks.
After acknowledging Knight’s roots in country music, Brooks launched into a twangy version of “Midnight Train to Georgia.” He noted that the 1973 track was derived from a track by Jim Weatherly titled “Midnight Plane to Houston.”
