Gladys Knight has revealed a new initiative to raise money for a new community center in North Carolina, which is the home state of her husband. The couple are hoping to raise $5 million for a new center in Canton, North Carolina, which will be dubbed the Reynolds Community Center at the site of Reynolds High School. The school was once the only all African American high school in the state west of Asheville. Now they are hoping to renovate the 20,000 square-foot facility. In all it boasts 65 acres and when complete will offer music education and counseling services. Knight has been relatively quiet in recent months following a summer tour in 2016. She did make headlines, however, after paying tribute to late Pips member William Guest. “We have lost many along the way; Edward Patten, Eleanor Guest, and now William Guest,” Gladys Knight said. “We tried using our gifts of music in a way that would be pleasing to God. Please, take care of their journeys home and I say thank you Lord for a long and wonderful ride.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
