Midnight Train To Georgia by Gladys Knight & The Pips
“For my 100th jam, I selected one of my favorite songs over the last 40 years. My first 8-track tape for my MGB in the early 70s was Gladys Knight and the Pips and I loved this song ever since. What I think really makes this song is the back up singing of the Pips. Although their dance moves are cheesy by today's standards, I still like it. "L.A. proved too much for the man (Too much for the man, he couldn't make it) So he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh"”

"L.A. proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
So he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh"

Inspired by watching the 30 Rock episode with Gladys Knight ("did you know they replace the Pips every five years like Menudo?")

One of my work colleagues actually claimed they'd never heard this song before it came on work's radio...
