This performance should be a learning lesson for others. You don’t need to over-sing a song to get a message across. Artist development is key. You don’t need to be scantily clad to keep your audiences’ attention. Gladys is simplistic in a black dress and hoops, wearing that hair like a crown. Regal. Class. Legend.
Simply one of the best songs in the entire world for person who knows exactly what they want out of life, but willing to a few mistakes along the way. Being true to oneself is what every single person on this Earth deserves to do. God speed to all of you, be true to thyself.......
Like Madera said " I want all these new singers to sit down and let the old school singers come back and make one more cd"! Love Gladys! I really wish they would
As I look @ the audience, I can tell they really feel this song and some sistas knows exactly where she's coming from..... To all you men out there, please let her be her If you really love her be sure for yourself For all women has the need to be.....
thank you Gladys.. this song makes me feel good.. and makes me stronger every day . I can do it!!.. thank you mom and grandmas..if it was not for you strong women in my life.. there could have been other roads.. but because of your strength.. I live,
May is her birthday month. I'm so glad she is still here. Great vocalists of her generation add a great deal of stability to today's rocky, and very corrupt music industry.
I choke up when I hear & see Gladys sing this song🌟❤️🔥🔥💥⚡️💫🪄😭☄️✨🌷For me , personally, it’s not the lyrics, but the sweeping emotion she powerfully packs and her body language👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽‼️
I have loved Gladys Knight since I was a little girl (5 yrs. old)! Used to get a quarter to sing her songs "in front of company"☺. Love you Mama Gladys wherever you are and whatever you're doing! #love #class #soul
This is song helped me get me back!!! After very traumatic situation..Those words there's a need to be something more..I need my open little spot to stand.. I won't wear a mask, deeply touched my heart thank you soo much for this timely classic precious song that is always fresh no matter how many times you hear it..
I love Gladys and pray one day I get a chance to see her in concert! Would love to meet here! She has been my idol since I was 14 years old. That is 51 years ago! God!❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful women classy and talented 💕🎵 to the fullest extent, , love this lady she's been in my life of music since I can remember , over 40 years of beautiful songs her voice goes right through my ❤️ loveing this blessings sent to her

Muy bonito y emocionante me es valioso en gran manera especial. Desde Sta Cruz Bolivia, Qué Nuestro Sñr Jesucristo los bendiga. Y necesito las películas 🎥.
Gladys is not a singer .. she is just soul pure soul … her voice is just reflection of what black culture suppose to be authentic soulful feeling emotion love realness .. non commercial

Saw her in the 1960s when she was about 4th on a bill of 5 and she and the Pips turned it out. That was the late 60s and in 2022 she still has it.
Gladys is and has always been a great vocalist. Never strain; always on target.
