Gladys Knight & The Pips ‎– Feelin' Bluesy

Gladys Knight & The Pips – Feelin’ Bluesy | Classic Motown Soul

 

Soul ‎records 1968 ‎– SS 707

notes:

Released in 1968 on Motown’s Soul Records imprint, Feelin’ Bluesy is one 

of the most underrated albums in the Gladys Knight & The Pips catalog. 

Coming just before their commercial breakthrough with

 I Heard It Through the Grapevine, this album captures the group at a crucial 

creative moment — emotionally rich, vocally commanding, 

and deeply rooted in late-60s soul.
