Gladys Knight and The O'Jays heading to Fantasy Springs14 August 2013INDIO, Calif. (PRESS RELEASE) -– Get ready for an incredible night of music when the "Midnight Train" and the "Love Train" meet at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. Legendary performers Gladys Knight and The O'Jays will heat up the Special Events Center Stage when the Family Reunion Tour arrives on Friday, Oct. 4. The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight and The O'Jays have long been two of the greatest. The labels "icon" and "legend" are often overused, but no truer words have been spoken about these two performers. Both are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, multiple Grammy nominees and humanitarians. Eight-time Grammy winner Gladys Knight has enjoyed No. 1 hits in pop, R&B and Adult Contemporary including her mega-hits "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)." She has triumphed in film, television and live performance. Following her successful run competing on Dancing With the Stars, Knight found herself again on stage with the currently syndicated sitcom, The First Family, where she plays the mother of President William Johnson. Coming fall 2013, Knight will lend her musical expertise to Centric's original series Apollo Live. The O'Jays -- Eddie Levert, Sr., Walter Williams, Sr. and Eric Nolan Grant -- have amassed 24 top ten smashes and 59 total charted songs and 50-plus years making such international hits as "Back Stabbers," "For The Love Of Money," "Love Train," "I Love Music" and "Use Ta Be My Girl." The O'Jays, who last performed at DPAC on Jan. 15, 2012, are light years away from easing up on the gas. Like fine wine, The O'Jays just get better with time. Tickets for the 8 p.m. Family Reunion performance go on sale Friday, Aug. 16 for $89, $69, $49 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via telephone (800) 827-2946 or online. |
