“Being that I am THE biggest Gladys Knight fan of all time, it was only fitting that I would include her classic song ‘Midnight Train To Georgia’ on my new project ‘Old Soul II,’ shares Lang. “A friend of mine, the great Jim Weatherly wrote this iconic tune that has now been proclaimed Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1999. I know you are not supposed to fix what is not broken, but I wanted to honor her in the best way I know how, and that is by recording her incredible song. In doing this, I hope to keep her music and legacy alive for the next generation to hear.”
Lang recently received the “Icon Award” at The Alice Awards Gala as part of The Southern Women in Film & Television (SWIFT) Summit. The Alice Awards recognize women who have all demonstrated perseverance in the pursuit of their dreams despite difficulties, hardships, and life’s circumstances and each has emerged stronger. The SWIFT Summit that spanned the entire weekend included the Alice Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner, red carpet events, speaking presentations, and more. Lang was honored for her inspiring story and creative participation in the entertainment industry through songwriting, empowering the next generation of talented women!
Lang has released her new autobiography titled “I’m Not Going Anywhere,” highlighting her journey as a 17-year breast cancer survivor, along with her healing experience and the unfolding of her love story with country music legend T.G. Sheppard. The book is titled after her song, “I’m Not Going Anywhere,” which has been seen and heard across the United States as part of Ascension Hospital’s ‘Your Care Is Our Calling’ national campaign, honoring caregivers and the patients they serve.
