I used to absolutely LOVE this song back in the day. When this song was released back in 1986 I was a senior in college. I graduated from college the very next year and this was one of the songs that I absolutely LOVED to listen to in myt dorm and once I returned home. Gwen Guthrie was SO underrated and she definitely passed away before her time.
@@angel91485I can forget them . I will be totally honest. Gwen Guthrie's version was the VERY BEST VERSION. She had an amazing voice. Absolutely the BEST. *REST in GOD'S LOVE, QUEEN GWEN ? (2024)🌹?
Gwen's voice is drenched in honey - kissed by the sun's first rays of light - every time you sang you filled the world with happiness - still smiling from all the memories Gwen - who can blame the almighty for calling you home?
What a beautiful, classy talented lady. We lost her far too soon. Really would have liked to see her career progress for many, many more years. What a voice.
@Zain Khan Realtor .... Thanks for the history lesson...didn't know of Richard doing it... I do remember Dionne doing it well... the Carpenters very well also...But Gwen made it funky and danceable!!
@Zain Khan Realtor ..... Yes, her complete GOOD TO GO LOVER lp was off the chain!!! She colab, did backup and wrote for well known artist...she was amazing and so missed is Gwen.💔🙏
I LOVE THIS LADY AND HER RENDITION OF THIS GREAT SONG. KNOCKS ME OUT. I LISTEN OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. NEVER WILL I GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG. FOR ME IT IS A MASTERPIECE.
thank you Miss Gwen Guthrie . for your contribution to the world of music , we will remember you , as one of the great musicians , and may your soul guide ," Close to you to the all mighty God , R.I.P ,....
Im just turn 35 and i came across this song on a old mixtape now i catch myself playing it every morning, her voice and vibe make me feel good,gives me a high
No question about it......my favourite Gwen Gutherie song. Gwen left us too soon. Her voice is so soothing. This joint is always on my R & B playlist. Decidedly so. RIP, Ms. Gutherie.
1983 - I was a teenager and absolutely enamored with this Lady...God Bless you Gwen Guthrie for bringing us a slice of heaven - signing off in Covid 19 in 2022 RIL
This song has been playing in my head this whole week, and it's the first time I see this video. Have to say, Gwen Guthrie oozed sex appeal and she didn't have to show an inch of skin. I absolutely love it!
When you do aa coer version of a classic song it better be good and man this is just so funking awesome Carpenters may disagree but it just gives the song a new lease of life god bless you Gwen.
use to love this babe in the 90's in melbourne australia with libby,100's of nights spent dancing till dawn on the parquetry to gwen,loved her gb gwen.
WOW!!! This is extremely awesome! I have been looking for this cut for decades! This version was used in one of the TV commercials (Close-Up Toothpaste, I believe)... and I didn't know that it was Gwen Guthrie who rendered this fantastic version of the popular song. Thanks so much for uploading!!!
This my jam when THE whole 🌎 world and everyone was alive. NEWYORK was LIT. 🔥 HARLEM WE LIVED. I MISS THIS ERA. 🔥 THE BEST. THAT OTHER HIT PADLOCK. AIN'T NOTHING GOING ON BUT THE RENT, SHE HAD HITS BACK TO BACK AYEEEEEEE💯
I finally found it after such a long search. I always hear this over the radio but never being able to know the artist. This is probably one of the best rendition of this song. It gave the original a more upbeat and soulful rhythm. I really love it. Rest in Peace Ms. Gwen Guthrie, thank you for the music!
R.I.P Ms. Gwen Guthrie I'll never 4get the 1st time I heard "Ain't Nothing Going On But The Rent" after a record like that I was hooked on u Ur gon but never will u b 4gotten!
The album version, where she sings the verse very slowly and the beat doesn't kick in until nearly a minute into the song, is where it's at but this is great, too.

She's left us..Love her.
With all the drama in 2023 this music is the vibe

I love her. She died too soon. No other voice like her!!!!!

RIP
Qual foi a causa do falecimento?
Uterinal cancer - cancer of the Womb.
It's amazing when a great singer takes a song, makes it their own and makes you forget the original. What a fantastic rendition.
I agree she had very good songs and was an amazing performer...and she had a good rendition, of this version, but no on can forget the Carpenters.

Err..nobody has forgotten the original.

She is dearly missed
Gwen had an amazing voice.. Everything she sang was sweet.. her vocals said it all. Rip Classy Lady.
What a beautiful, classy talented lady. We lost her far too soon. Really would have liked to see her career progress for many, many more years. What a voice.
Gwen Guthrie , heaven sent, heaven takes. R.I.P
True
Wow when did she die? And how?
@@evsvdb February 3 1999 she was 47 years old .Died from uterine cancer.Crazy thing is her birrhday is July 1 1950 so that makes her zodiac a Cancer
Gone too soon! RIP Gwen! We miss you!
yeah just like micheal jackson gone too soon
Phyllis Hyman as well.
I luv this tune!! such a classic!!
R.I.P Ms. Guthrie! Absolutely still love this song. Why do birds..........
Now I am almost 60 years old and I still miss and remember Gwen Guthrie, it must be real love.
I turned 60 in June and I remember rushing to the dancefloor when I heard those opening bass line licks. A bad Choon.
This song didn't get the recognition it deserves. I should've been dancing to this at the night club! Well, better late than never.
Its always a been a beautiful song back when Carpenters did it....but Gwen took it to another level....rest easy beautiful, talented sista!!😍😘💜
Richard Chamberlain, the actor, first sang this song in 1963 and Dionne Warwick sang it in 1964. Carpenters version was 1970.
@Zain Khan Realtor .... Thanks for the history lesson...didn't know of Richard doing it... I do remember Dionne doing it well... the Carpenters very well also...But Gwen made it funky and danceable!!
@@jayelove1504 I love Gwen’s version and remember when it was released, as well as Nothing Going On But The Rent 🔥🔥
@Zain Khan Realtor ..... Yes, her complete GOOD TO GO LOVER lp was off the chain!!! She colab, did backup and wrote for well known artist...she was amazing and so missed is Gwen.💔🙏
This be a jam that could be played today and would kill it. On the air waves
I LOVE THIS LADY AND HER RENDITION OF THIS GREAT SONG. KNOCKS ME OUT. I LISTEN OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. NEVER WILL I GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG. FOR ME IT IS A MASTERPIECE.

thank you Miss Gwen Guthrie . for your contribution to the world of music , we will remember you , as one of the great musicians , and may your soul guide ," Close to you to the all mighty God , R.I.P ,....
Gwen Guthrie's collaborations with Sly, Robbie & the Compass Point Studios are definitely some of the real standouts of 80's music.
Oh! The good old days! I loved this era, the song and the songstress herself. Being black is a privilege ❤❤❤❤
Rest In Eternal Paradise Gwen Guthrie. You'll always be remembered by the beautiful music you left us with.
I was 6 when this song came out. My family use to play this all the time. Memories!! R.I.P Gwen you would be miss.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION FOR YEARS. THANK GOD!

Brilliant track Gwen ...closer to you
The album version, where she sings the verse very slowly and the beat doesn't kick in until nearly a minute into the song, is where it's at but this is great, too.
another hit to the late 80's, that gives a real attention to all music enthusiasts
Why is this underrated?😭
she is the best her music always will be in my memory and heart too.
Tuuune! Thank you so much for sharing Ms Guthrie's beautiful and amazing talents. Evokes so many memories and emotions. Rise in Eternal Paradise Queen
