Gladys Knight & The Pips - Greatest Hits 1973-1985 (2008)
Following their growing successes at Motown, Gladys Knight and the Pips moved to Buddah Records, where many feel they reached their pinnacle. This collection from the Varese Vintage label gathers up twenty of their most outstanding single recordings from the Buddah, and later Columbia, years. The chronological set starts with their first relatively modest pop hit at Buddah, "Where Peaceful Waters Flow" and ends with their 1985 r'n'b charter "My Time". In between are found the Nick Ashford- and Valerie Simpson-penned "Landlord", Curtis Mayfield's "On and On", their blockbuster hits "I've Got to Use My Imagination" and "Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me", and by necessity their Grammy-winning signature song, "Midnight Train to Georgia". Every recording included here made either the pop, the r'n'b, or both charts so there is virtually no filler. Additionally, the tracks presented here are the original single versions.

Gladys Knight & The Pips - Greatest Hits 1973-1985 (2008)
Although there is no shortage of Gladys Knight & the Pips compilations, GREATEST HITS 1973-1985 does listeners a particularly good turn by focusing on 12 of the most successful years in the R&B ensemble’s history. Among the many hits presented on this 20-track collection are the soulful Jim Weatherley-penned classics “Midnight Train to Georgia” and “Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me.”
