Get ready for an extra soulful double bill as Gladys Knight and The O’Jays team up for a series of special performances. Each act has shaped the musical landscape of Soul and RnB in their own right; Knight has an astounding seven Grammys to her name while Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The O’Jays hit the top of the charts with the 1973 smash hit ‘Love Train’.

The trio were at the forefront of the Philly Soul Scene of the early 70’s and have more Top Twenty Singles and Albums than you can count on two hands. After all these years, Eddie, Walter and Eric still have charm in spades and the voices to match! Speaking of still got it… At 70 years old, Ms Knight can still clear the rafters with her vocal chops. Some things just get better with age, and the Empress of Soul is no exception.

Gladys Knight and The O’Jays will be appearing at the Verizon Theater November 15th.
