Sunday Music: Midnight Train To Georgia


You will never hear us talking about "Black History Month", and we've heard enough about the midnight train in Ohio. Today is time for pure timeless soul, with Gladys Knight & The Pips doing their massive hit, released in August of '73, and hitting Number One before Halloween.

    The song was originally "Midnight Train to Houston".

    An excellent song. The Mrs. made the observation that music today is (mostly) just awful. She's not wron.

    It's too bad they didn't re-release it with Devo.

    Then they could "Pip it! Pip it good!"

    Good tune. Hard to drive to though. I can't drive 65 is a good tune for that.
