Taste of bitter love - Gladys Knight & the Pips

Gladys Knight is at the center of a controversy at the moment, and it's all because the 82-year-old singer appeared on stage looking a bit confused. There are worries that she is being 'forced' to perform live. Nothing surprises me anymore after having watched a very frail Frankie Valli on stage recently.

Rolling back to 1980, that's when Gladys Knight and the Pips released 'Taste of bitter love', a catchy song that I heard on the radio recently and I was lucky enough to find a copy for one euro in a second hand shop. The single reached number 35 in the UK singles chart, but narrowly missed out on the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 8405
Found: Walk-in, Zutphen, 15 August 2026
Tracks: 'Taste of bitter love' / 'Add it up'
