If you’re good at remembering lyrics, or at least the opening lines of songs, you probably had this song pegged to show up. And of course it would! If you don’t remember lyrics or opening lines, you’ll have it come back to you immediately. All aboard for Los Angeles!
Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight & the Pips
Get that choreographed dancing going! 
Let’s face it, if you grew up in the 70s, you know this song. And you’ve danced to it. And you’ve been impersonated the Pips during it. One of the classic songs of R&B, the 70s, and music in general.
Midnight Train to Georgia
Written by Jim Weatherly
Recorded by Gladys Knight & the Pips
From Imagination, 1973
L.A. LYRICS:
L.A. proved too much for the man

Have you done a Georgia song series. There's this and Georgia on My Mind for starters. There must be country songs about Georgie. You would know far greater than I.

Oh yes, I do remember this, it was all over the radio where I worked. I like it, she was a really good singer.

Just now
I see what you did there having a song with Georgia in the title but having LA in the lyrics. Very good.
Yes, hubby and I knew both song and artist, and he even sang it
