Mica Paris talks candidly to 'The Empress of Soul', Gladys Knight

Mica Paris invites some of her favourite female artists to chat with her about their careers. First on the list is 'The Empress of Soul', Gladys Knight recorded in North Carolina

With 30 years in the music industry, Mica Paris brings her experience and contacts book to Radio 2 and has invited some of her favourite female artists to chat to her about their careers and the challenges they’ve faced, both good and bad, as well as playing some incredible music by them.

First on the list is The Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight. Over the two episodes, you’ll hear this amazing woman talk candidly about her frosty relationship with Diana Ross, her love for her friend Marvin Gaye, the gambling addiction that tore her life apart, what she thinks about a female Bond and about the passing of her close friend Whitney Houston.

Recorded earlier this year (2018) in the town of Asheville, North Carolina, it’s a fascinating insight into life as a woman in the music industry from one of the true legends of our time.

First broadcast in 2018.
