Gladys Knight o.l.v. Metropole Orkest - The Way We Were (Memories) - 11/06/1976 • World of Jazz

 

On June 11th, 1976 a very special concert took place in the studios of the Dutch TROS tv-programme "Music all Inn". The audience witnessed a great concert of Gladys Knight and (her family group), the Pips, and as a special guest starred Al Foster, the drummer who played for a long time with Miles Davis. Gladys (May 28, 1944 - Atlanta, Georgia) became really famous when she started to work with the record label Motown, where great hits as "heard it through the grapevine" were released. In the mid-seventies last millennium, she changed to the Buddha label, where she published "Midnight Train To Georgia'. 

The Dutch Metropole Orchestra is legendary in Holland. It was founded in 1945 shortly after WWII ended. After years of suffering, Dutch people needed hope and... good times! In 1980 Rogier van Otterloo started as conductor. He was already famous, for writing the soundtracks of box office movies as 'Soldier of Orange' and "Turks Fruit" (Turkish Delight).
