By any measure, Gladys Knight is one of the greatest Soul singers of all time. Her expressive, powerful voice became the model for two generations of singers from Jennifer Holliday to Alicia Keys, and her work with the Pips stands tall among the best Soul music of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

After a bit of an absence, Gladys released two new albums in the past two years. And it appears she isn’t stopping yet. Here is a brand new single from her that has a classic soul groove. “Soon” is musically a remake of the Commodores’ “Zoom,” but with a lyrical change that makes it the logical successor to Gladys’s 2014 Gospel album, Where My Heart Belongs. She sounds great and we can’t wait to hear more about what’s coming next for her.
