美國實力歌姬［葛蕾蒂絲奈特］首支個人單曲──靈魂樂／R&B抒情曲──［Im Coming Home Again／我又回家了］

Im not as crazy as I used to be
Some of my devils upped and left me free
To find a quiet space
Im not as out of place
Im not as lonely as I was before
I dont go in
Unless theres an open door to leave by
Im starting to believe
My own existence has a right to be

And Im coming home again

Its been too long a time
Getting back whats mine
And I cant remember why I went away

But its looking now like maybe I can stay

The poets cried for dreams they never saw
The only certainty is nothings sure
And most things stay the same
Or go back where they came

And though my answers still are undefined
By taking chances
I can start to find some reasons
Something to believe in
I can make it through, I can make it through

１９４４年５月生於喬治亞州亞特蘭大的葛蕾蒂絲奈特（Gladys Knight）被媒體稱為’靈魂樂女皇’，

８歲便與兄姊和表親組成家族團體‘點子’（The Pips），展開音樂活動．

１９６１年踏入歌壇，並改名葛蕾蒂絲奈特＆種子（Gladys Knight）

１９６２年便以單曲［Every Beat of My Heart］（Pop#6,R&B#1）走紅歌壇,直到１９８０年代後期．

１９７８年　３４歲的主唱葛蕾蒂絲奈特在發展團體事業之際，

也抽空推出首張個人大碟［Miss Gladys Knight／葛蕾蒂絲奈特小姐］（Buddah唱片發行）

由Gary Klein，Tony Macaulay製作，樂評普通．

《Allmovie》說：‘通常會發現這位歌手遊走在 R&B 和成人當代之間的微妙界限……儘管［葛蕾蒂絲奈特小姐］令人愉快且得體，但它並不是傑作，也不屬於她的重要唱片之一。’

［Miss Gladys Knight］未入Billboard專輯榜

只拿下副榜──靈魂專輯榜＃５７

首支單曲為［Im Coming Home Again／我又回家了］

由Bruce Roberts＋Carole Bayer Sager創作，Gary Klein製作成一首靈魂樂／R&B抒情曲，

在中慢板的速度間，奈特的醇厚嗓音主導歌曲的情感變化，展現其歌唱能力．

未入Billboard單曲榜

只拿下副榜──R&B靈魂榜＃５４

讓葛蕾蒂絲的首張個人出擊無疾而終．
