Did anyone else just hear Gladys Knight perform a jazzy, soulful version of The Star Spangled Banner before the season-opening Monday Night Football? NOT trying to start a debate about the US National Anthem, or whether artists should take license to deviate from a "traditional" arrangement. Personally I enjoyed the performance, and it sounds like Ms. Knight still has a great set of pipes. I'm posting this in the G.A. Forum because of the ACCOMPANIMENT! It ooked like the keyboard accompanist on the field next to her was playing a Hammond porta-B. But to my novice ears, the results SOUNDED like an arranger backing! If you didn't see it live, fire up your search engines my peeps, and tell me what you think...!
