My wife, just dedicated this song to me!! She’s the best thing that ever happened to me!!!
Unbelievable beauty and talent ... such a powerhouse vocalist
This performance, as any by Gladys and the Pips, is all the proof one needs that there is no race, or color, or culture, or agenda when it comes to God sharing talent with humankind.
Thank you, you are so right!
Giving birth to my son is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me. ❣️❣️
Youngens....Do you notice that Gladys has clothes on and she is still killing it with her nubian beauty and soulful angelic voice. Keep pimping those steps Pips.
+Tony T Great comment! thanks, I got a chuckle out of it. I hope one day it will sink in. It has to, her class is timeless.
Church
+Tony T Yes unlike this generation today, they just can't seem to feel beautiful unless they take off their cloths!
Ahmana loves TMH....When you can't sing, you show and shake your azz. If we were in this generation would we be into what's out today? Probably yes, because this would be our era and all we would care about is sex and beats.
+Tony T Unless you had discovered independent thought and seperated yourself far from the crowd of people who talk like they are from the 'hood' but live in a 3 bed house in walthamstow.
I could watch this a hundred times a day. Beautiful live performance with true talent, no special effects, no fancy stunts, just raw emotion. and the Pips are so smooth too.
I can understand you 🎁
I listen to it about 100 times a day.
Unbelievable nice song
Unlike Michael Jackson who may have been a thriller with the dance moves and the special effects, but could never even come close to Gladys vocally. Besides, he was a little off the wall and outright bad, and yes, he really was dangerous.
Pips totally underrated, they sound just like the record. Amazing
My mom just passed on to glory, 15 Dember 2020. She'll be with her Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, in whom His shed blood she trusted! I dedicate this song to you, mom; you will greatly be missed!!!
Wonderful dedication to your Mother.
Omg I love this sound so good man

G-d bless you. My condolences for the loss of your mother.
My mom dedicated this song to me before she died.
@@kimharris2056 God bless ya Kim. Hang on to the special memories. Lost my dear Mother in a broadside crash on her way to church on Easter Sunday in 1991. Miss her sooo much. 💝
Gladys Knight is one in million singer of all time.
At the funeral of my beautiful wife of 60 years, her two children and me stood by her casket side as this song played throughout the parlor. It signified our love and devotion to her. And as our tears flowed freely, touching her wonderful face, it seemed as if she then filled the room with happiness and joy and gave back to us the thousands of memories she created during the years she was with us in life.
That must have been the most emotional time in your lives. I can't imagine...
I played it at my mums funeral too
Wow beautiful family God bless you. Your beautiful memories touched my heart🙏 blessings to your family from Guadalajara Mexico🙏💙
God bless you always with much love 💗
That’s beautiful, God Bless you all
timeless classic, as close to perfect as it gets
The horn arrangement is phenomenal here. Gladys is phenomenal too, of course!
The mix for the drums are outstanding aswell that snare is cutting straight through beautifully
Sweet Gladys and the greatest back up singers ever. When music was music.
What a live version! Gladys looks so great, too, n she was feelin" it!!
Those times of the best ever music for two decades will never come back again, Timm. I have been so lucky to be in that era. God's blessing.
She is great
I wish i can go back to the 70s. This decade sucks.
So very true 👍. And I wasn't born then.
When she sings its like she telling a story for her heart
What a lovely woman !
Beautiful Gladys Knight what has happen to our music? love and from the heart!

Gladys Knight, one of the greatest talents that we'll ever see.
She sure is
Well said.
I hope you see this joanna
Micheal Jackson's godmother xx
Facts 💯
Gladys is my favorite female singer - hard to choose, with so much talent back then and now. She's just the best. Gorgeous too.
Better than Madonna or Molly Cyrus? Just a joke. Gladys is the best vocalist of all time. She has more talent in just one fingernail than Madonna or Molly Cyrus will ever have in their lifetimes.
My Husband was the best thing that ever happened to me. Gone 19 years, miss him more each day that goes by. RIP Bobby thank you for the best days of my life
@@farout166 I appreciate it, Thank You
God. Bless
Just lost my wife, I know your pain God Bless
And you
Been there Bea - she's a hard road...and my wife was young...cancer........all the very best
Man, she was drop--dead gorgeous. Natural beauty, body and soul. Just unreal.
Still is , still has it ,just gotten better
still is
I was born and raised in Detroit in '69 and Gladys has been my crush since I was about 10 years old. Lol
Absolutely love her spirit!!!
absolutely a very beautiful woman
Like Al Green said "Simply Beautiful"
I'm a Rock & Roller....forgive me....she and the group just draw you in....goose bumps....you simply have to listen in awe of her. To the point of tears welling up. What a gift God blessed us with! Amazing!
You know when I was 5 years old, 2 cement workers sat down on the hot concrete step having their lunch...each had a quart of milk with their sandwiches... every day in that hot glorious summer days in Memphis tn. We were buddies.....there was nothing but real friendship between us....2 hard working black gentlemen and one 5 year old white boy. Bonded that summer..now that I’m 82 old yr. old white guy.....know something their both in my nightly
Prayers...my 2 buddies.
SAW THIS WOMAN IN CONCERT, HERE I AM A GROWN ASS MAN WITH TEARS IN MY EYES, GLADYS CAN DO THAT TO ME
Marvin - we're just too tough to admit it.....but gimme this gorgeous lady any day
I'm very jealous xx
Yes... She would make anyone cry. She's that type of singer.
She is a beautiful human being!!!
Marvin are you still here?
Gladys is one of the top female artists of my lifetime -
A woman that has been so classy, humble, and so giving of her Passion in her craft -
I feel she has not been given the true attention deserving of a vocal artust of her league -
I admire, respect, and have enjoyed her voice for so many years -
Please join me - in saying -
Thank you and -
We so get it.
(Reference - Gladys w BB - Etta - Chaka - and many more - "Ain't Nobody's Business ..."
(This woman is over the top - no matter her awesome great peers - She nails her songs - EVER-TUME :-)
YOU ARE A TRUE CLASS ACT - ONE OF THE BEST VOCAL ARTISTS - EVER!
THANK YOU GLADYS KNIGHT -
In case you young people out there are wondering what this is, its called raw talent. No jiggling booty, no skimpy clothing, or auto tune or lip syncing...this has lasted over 40 years...and will be here in 40 more...
You nailed it, buddy. I wouldn´t describe it better than the way you did
Agreed
Gladys was one of the best ever, her songs will live on forever
you can have raw talent and still jiggle booty. it called not being a single faceted human beings. humans aren’t one dimensional.
Dear Mom and Dad......
There's no other artist to touch me the way her singing does...
Ah man im a white boy thats always idolized gladys knight and black music it annoys me that even black people dont realise the joy and love youve brought to the world
Without a doubt, one of the most soulful and passionate singers there has ever been. She just oozes feeling when she sings! Love this song so much!
+John Jensen I agree u
Strong voice, great singer
Can you feel that???? Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!
John Jensen she's the best.
Yes, she has quite the voice and sings with sooo much feeling. My late brother loved her voice as well.
She is Such A Beautiful Woman. Her Music is Incredible..LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Gladys is one elegant singer. Thanks for the great sound ❤️
Not forgetting the pips!
My mom dedicated this song to me. ❤R.I.P.
Have you ever heard a song that you loved so much but didn't know why? *probably because you were too young to really understand it's meaning?* Then years later you hear the same song again and you understand clearly what they were singing about --because you've lived it.
please listen to your the best thing that ever happened to me you will fall in love all over again with that lady in your life especialy if she blessed you with children
I wish you could ask my daughter because that's why now to this day she's in love with old school music
Tal cual usted lo está diciendo allí; aunque en mi caso, esta canción en particular, la vengo oyendo desde hace unos cuarenta años, y desde el primer momento que la escuché siempre me gustó, me encantó!, y nunca la he dejado de oir, aun eventualmente,.. Enjoy it!
Boy Doll bihhh preach
you got it! I used to think it was about my boyfriend. Now I see it and hear it as an anthem of my family and best friends.
No one did soul like her... and that's coming from a big Whitney fan. Gladys set the bar and it's never been topped.
modspell never ever... None of these new female singers just haven't reached her yet.. & I don't think they ever will tbh..
The amount of control she has with such a powerful voice, has always amazed me.
I’m still listening in 2020 as it’s an all time favorite. She puts such feeling into it. There’s just nothing like some of these great artists of yesterday. You had to have a great voice back then to make it.
the best things to happen to us are always remembered. Cherished!
Memories is one of my all time favorites. She sings it the best cause it can bring you back, to buck of tears and feelings and emotions you never knew until you heard her sing. I would of loved to gone to one of her concerts.
LOVE THAT MOTOWN MUSIC,WHERE'S SMOKEY, THE CHILITES,THE TEMPTATIONS,STEVEI WONDER, N THE LIST GOES ON N ON ,MOTOWN NATION, FOREVER
The best. Hands down, the best singer I've ever heard in my life. No one can sing and tell a story like she does. The best. Period.
One of the most beautiful voices of all time ! Pure class !!!
My moms on her way out, this song is dedicated to her-- YOUR THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME MOM
Jesus is the first best thing that ever happened to me, followed by my family. This song is timeless.
My favourite Gladys Knight song. Reminds me of when my son was born. I now also have a daughter 💖😂. They're grown up now. This is for both of you.XX
She just got more and more beautiful all these years:)
No "auto tune" with Gladys! She's the Real Thing!
EXACTLY
OMG this is what RUclips is all about . This amazing gem! YES GLADYS outstanding
" I Had my Share of Ups & Downs" Still listening 2019 🍷💓
I am so glad that I was born in an era when music was real music. Songs like this are timeless and priceless. You want to hear good music, go OLD SKOOL for real.
True indeed these songs have no experation date on them
Definitely. We had it good back then.
Me to we had the best music ever
Yeah, old skool music are real and meaningful, even loving, can i ask you a question?@Wanda
Grew up listening to Gladys Knight and the Pips. Wonderful music that resonates down the years! So grateful to my parents for sharing the gift of music with me. Thanks for sharing this video, Jose. Carried me away to a happy, long ago time.
I "fell in love" with this woman nearly 50 years ago. Watching this affirms what great taste I had.
I was married for 26 years to my junior high sweetheart the love of my absolute absolute love of my life. And after 26 years and 2 bouts of cancer and one beautiful son we both decided that we would be happier apart but still have love for each other and after my divorce I sent this song to my ex-wife and I think it's just one of the most beautiful songs ever!
We have a wonderful wonderful relationship today and two beautiful Grandsons and I'm so very thankful that she stayed in my life. Thank you for making my life as beautiful as you were and as loving As You Are.
Damn, she was a BEAUTY with a powerful voice that brought a lot of pain forth. I can’t lie, this song brought the tear game through, but I bounced back. Such a a beautiful woman in her day with a voice that can make you shed a tear, I swear. SUBSTANCE ALL THE WAY.
...and she STILL is.
she's still beautiful. she really has aged nicely
Saw her in Boston and still sings just like this. She gorgeous, personable and lovely. Really glad I saw her. Go see her if you get the chance.
JESUS YOU ARE THE BEST THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME, 2019 AND THIS SONG IS STILL NUMBER ONE.
Absolute best. Classy lady and the Pips are true gentlemen.
I adore her in 2021. The way she sings this song brings tears. This performance is a religious experience. She is American R&B at it's peak. Nothing like it. Love.
Man, now that's REAL music right there!!! Gladys singing her heart out, killer rhythm and horn section, and an AMAZING and relatable song, with and actually coda ending. YES!!!!!!
She sings this song so beautifully & those Pips were always amazingly backing her up. Great team
Quincy Blue [al
love these guys....dedicated this song to my daughter....thank you Gladys for saying what I could not....
Have always loved Gladys,, since I was a teenager. Tonite I wasn't able to get out to get my Husband a Valentine's Day Present. Then this song popped into my head. I told him I DID have him a present. I can't sing so we watched her at first - oh she's so young and beautiful and no lip synching. I love watching the Pips too. So it got to the part and I said the words
"If anyone should ever write my life story.
For whatever reason there might be
(Hear come the tears) Oh you'll be there
Between each line of Pain and Glory.
Because you're the Best Thing that ever happened to Me
You're the Best Thing that ever Happened to Me........
We were both flooding tears by then. Thank you Gladys, you and your songs are beautiful and timeless.
THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT IT MAKES ME CRY!!!! THIS is a love song.
I thought I was the only one that cries.. I think about my daughter every time I hear this song b/c she changed my life for the better
I was just in the bath singing this song,and could not get it out of my head!!! 1974 i was 14 years old. When you all of a sudden start singing it 40 years later the penny has dropped? what a beautiful woman she is,and a voice so soulful and on Que with emotions. Gladys sorry it took so long for me to appreciate your song. XXX Much Respect.
Tom Keir i
Gladys knight is gorgeous and her voice is great
Now that's real music 🎶. The memories brought tears to my eyes and a smile on my face.
*Lady Gladys Knight & The Pips, what a timeless masterpiece!*
She sings with such feeling! This is live and it is note perfect! Just as good as the recorded version, if not better. That is a sign of great talent when you can do it just as well (and I would venture to say better) in a live performance. This woman had SOUL like nobody before nor since. All I can say is: WOW!
Too true
thanks
I had this played at my husband funeral.It is so true. 46 years together. I miss you RIP
Sweet, really beautiful song ❤️
Real ALL LIVE performance. This was when the Midnight Special was at its best
Gladys Knight one of the best singers of all time. I just love her.
YES
God this tune makes you misty eyed , she absolutely breaks your heart with the most deepest feelings , brilliant 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
LIVE people. No auto tune lip sync garbage. Pure class 190%
Love this elegant lady...the best!
theresa bollman OK
+Bill Wilson and
little blue bird by you Johnny Taylor
Hall of fame material there. Top notch Gladys.
Such talent and so beautiful as well,
she's the best thing.
+Bill Bright Couldn't have said it any better Bill!
queen
It's true every inch a woman,
and her most beautiful part of all,,
her mind.
When you hear that phrase, "the complete package," here's what they're talking about. God bless G & the Pips.
She is my kinda of music what a voice, sing it girl I am 92 years old Italian lover of music.
One of the best singers ever. No "effected" nonsense, just pure feeling. Love her.
Agree!
Love the way she sings The Way We Were!
I would argue the best vocalist of all time, and this performance was live!
Their music was a gift to us all
The irony she sings if anyone should ever write my life story (decades later and now a legend and always will be )
How embarrassing. Here I am listening to this beautiful song with a lovely glass of wine in hand.. and the thoughts of life with my man help start the tears that I don't want to stop. It hurts, but I need to reach deep and feel the emotion. Life is more than going through the motions. The trials and inevitable pain clear the way to better times and a deeper love of another and yourself, in the end.
She looks as beautiful as she sounds
On Feburary 14th,1970 i married my valentine. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Just celebrated 50 years a little over 6 months ago. (After Jesus of course!)
Today is mothers day I sent this to my son today to let him know my mothers day would be nothing without him ❤ he's a gift that last a life time filled with love and smiles.
This is how my Mom Doris felt about my Dad. Their relationship taught me what true love looks like. I am so glad they found each other.
Thats what you call a live stage performance.. Just jaw drop'n WOW😮😍😍😍
For anyone who didn't grow up listening to her...this is what REAL singing is about. She is quite gifted. Nobody is in her class.
The love of my life Sylvia died 20th March 2019,and she was the best thing that ever happened to me, big Andy O, miss you so much, xxx
Used to sing this to my late husband because he was definitely the best thing that ever happened to me 🙏🏻😢❤️
This performance was outstanding! I love the sound of that live band 💜
This is a valuable video of Gladys Knight's live singing. Back in the day, many TV appearances were lip synced. This is live and a great performance.
Most TV appearances were lip synched back in the 70's. This is such a great performance.
So beautiful. I sing this to my sweet wife every year on our anniversary because she is the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you "My Pretty Girl", and I thank God for you each day.
So beautiful & so classy! I love this song & Gladys Knight & the Pips!
I never tire of watching this performance and it always brings me to tears. How I love and respect this lady. Truly - one of the greatest voices of our time.
She’s a legend, so can I ask you a question?@Annette
What a beautiful, heartfelt song. Gladys voice is so unique, I can always tell it's her singing. I've dedicated this song to my husband many times. This is music, unlike so much of the noise you hear these days.
I agree with you Priscilla.
Saw Gladys and concert 3 or 4 years ago. Her voice did not change or diminish-just as strong as ever!
This is my very favorite song from Gladys Knight tonight. I sang it during karaoke on a Caribbean cruise a few years ago, and of course I dedicated it to my husband who is the best thing that ever happened to me it!
I understand. This song is my mom..either way it's about intense love
I love your heartfelt expression
Best female artist of all time, bar none. We love you, Gladys.
These vocals, the beauty, the essence- AMAZING!
Unbelievably great performance.
She has such a sweet face, dreamy eyes, a priceless smile, a heart & soul you could get lost in.
Such a beautiful voice.
Love for great music brought me here!
Gladys is so beautiful, inside and out. I try to see her when she's in the Chicago area.
I love her voice. Classy...2020 singers look, listen and learn...
Beautiful woman....beautiful song....beautiful voice.....
My favorite Glady's Knight song!!💝
She's the Greatest female singer of them all,in my opinion..I was fortunate enough to get to see her in Glasgow. Fabulous!
"For every moment that I've spent hurting, there was a moment that I've spent just loving you ..." (2:05). You cannot manufacture emotion like this - a privilege to watch (thank goodness for RUclips!). There are thousands of average singers in the world, several great ones and some in a league of their own - and then there is the elite Ms Knight who stands alone, head and shoulders above the rest, without adequate description other than one word - perfect ...
Gladys Knight 4ever!
The best female soul singer ever !
Her story shall be written. She will go down in history.
