Very few singers over the last fifty years have matched Knight’s unassailable artistry. This seven-time GRAMMY® winner has enjoyed #1 hits in pop, gospel, R&B, and adult contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performances.
All told, Knight has recorded more than 38 albums over the years, including the incredible solo albums: “Good Woman” (1991), “Just for You” (1994), “Many Different Roads” (1999), and “At Last” (2001). “At Last” showed the world she still has what it takes to record a hit album, employing the talents of contemporary producers like Randy Jackson, Gary Brown and James D.C. Williams III, Jon John, Jamey Jaz, Keith Thomas, Tom Dowd, and Tiger Roberts.
A humanitarian and philanthropist, Knight has devoted to various worthy causes, including the American Diabetes Association, for which she is a national spokesperson, the American Cancer Society, the Minority AIDS Project, amFAR and Crisis Intervention, and The Boys and Girls Club. She has been honored by numerous organizations as well, including the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Congress of Racial Equality, B’Nai Brith, and is a recipient of BET’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
