Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pipps
“Theme: Trains Why a picture of Farrah Fawcett? I'll let the the songwriter, Jim Weatherly, explain. "One evening in 1970, I called Lee Majors, an actor friend who had just started dating model Farrah Fawcett. Farrah answered the phone. She said Lee wasn’t home and that she was packing to take a midnight plane to Houston to visit her folks. What a great line for a song, I thought. After I got off the phone, I grabbed my guitar and wrote “Midnight Plane to Houston” in about 45 minutes" The next artist to record the song, Cissy Houston, changed it to "Midnight Train to Georgia."”
