Gladys Knight – 77 Years Old
Empress Soul – you have probably heard this name a couple of times if you are a fan of soul music dating back to the 60s and 70s. That was and still is the nickname of Gladys Knight, a seven-time Grammy Award winner, and an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Knight’s achievements speak of her success in the music industry, but she knows her way around the movie industry too. The star’s debut film Pipe Dreams put her in the spotlight, and that enabled the singer to make guest appearances on popular TV shows of her time. The renowned singer last performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2019.
