The red rose-themed background of the couple's photo makes it more of a sight to behold. The last picture shows the "Midnight Train to Georgia" singer in a zoomed-in image as she flashes a smile.

She remarried in 1979 to Barry Hankerson, but the union ended five years after, and together they have a son. Gladys gave marriage another chance in 1995 but that also lasted only two years.

However, Knight and Mcdowell got married in 2001, and they have a large family of seventeen children and ten great-grandchildren.

KNIGHT AND HER HUSBAND GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

Atlanta-raised Knight and McDowell, two years ago, were at a fundraising event in Canton, NC to help rebuild a school in William's hometown.

The couple bought the school space at an auction in 2015, for almost a hundred thousand to guide the spirit and pedigree of the area and give it back to the public.
