Empress of Soul Gladys Knight is no stranger to reigning over music charts with classic hits like ‘Love Overboard, ‘Save the Overtime for Me,’ and ‘Midnight Train to Georgia,’ but now the diva has hopped aboard a new holiday film with hopes of reigning over TV ratings as well.
Filling out a cast led by Jessica Lowndes and Paul Greene, the R&B legend stars as “Cora” – a guiding force who helps a local salesclerk (portrayed by Lowndes) realize her dream of becoming a performer on Broadway by convincing her to participate in a small-scale Christmas production. Together, they team with “Jason” (Greene), a jingle writer and single father, to give the town a holiday concert the likes of which they’ve never seen.
Ahead of its November 26 premiere on the Great American Family channel, see a preview inside.
