Gladys Knight didn't have to hear it through the grapevine. She heard it from the judges on "Dancing With the Stars."

They voted 2-1 to give her the boot, following a live dance duel last night. She and Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan faced off. They were the low vote-getters this week and danced for their survival.

The final say was up to the judges. Knight says she's overjoyed to have been on the show. Her run ends during Motown week, which Knight says was like a family reunion. The band played "Midnight Train to Georgia," as Knight said goodbye to her fellows dancers.
