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.
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 ,....
He's not the only one. Gwen Guthrie is another beautiful woman that didn't get enough notoriety. Just like more of my favorite singers: Martha Wash Jocelyn Brown Cheryl Lynn Izora Armstead
Memories. When black people were nothing but classy in videos and there were no 'video girls' clogging up the screen and taking the attention from the person with the actual talent! I like the Carpenters version but I love this as I think it's an excellent interpretation of the original. Gwen is sorely missed (RIP).
@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.💔🙏
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?
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
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.
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.
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!
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!!!
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Whitney houston has a lot to answer for, a lot of artists were left in her dust, its very unfair that because she was skinny and beautiful she got all the attention, and fantastic artists like gwen guthrie and Vesta williams only skimmed the surface simply because they didn't fit the stereotype, Whitney has a great voice, but come on she wasn't the only black soul artist that could sing in the mid 80's. Thank the lord for utube.
Halloweenville Geronimo and Tonto and Pocohantes and Sitting Bull were not the only Indians. Aristotle and Plato were not the only philosophers.. Our brains can only handle so much info.
Houston does NOT have a great voice at all, what is WRONG with you people. It is NOT skilful singing to yell every other word. It is NOT harmonious to keep increasing your tone, especially when such banal songs are nothing to draw attention to, which points up the limitations and ill quality of her material even more, and it's not even HERS as she don't write anything herself! Granted she sings her only truly good song 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' well, but that is not typical of her approach vocally or musically as it's not a icky sicky wretched MOR power balladeering that's the only approach she seems to have and it's NOT a good one EVER to have. Look at Celine Dion and Mariah Carey and they're absolutely vile, which made you think, far from ruling the 90s, that women in music were virtually dead. The 80s was full of great women, it's just all anyone can bang on abpout is slagdonna who is nothing to DO with music-making or singing, just attention-seeking gold-digging whoring about and everyone let's the nasty old bitch do it and continue to be so pathetic. Gwen Guthrie must have had the best black voice full stop, but Jaki Graham and Tamin Archer (who appeared later in 1992) are just behind her, and all these 3 are important, as they don't oversing a thing at all. Gwen's got the most powerful voice but she uses it to suit the different tempos of the different songs she does. Houston has no such approach as her songs are all the bleeding ears icky sicky bloody awful same! Her voice gets annoying, overbearing and aggravating quickly, as do the banal stupidity and saccharine inanity of the meaningless turgid tunes-ALL of them ballads that do and sound exactly the same. Hell that's a legacy for the world. Losers, people are.
@@kyachdistent1301 OMG, Are you serious with that Essay, i only read the first few lines, and already i knew you were one of those people who doesn't allow anybody else to have an opinion, You either love or hate Whitney's voice, and it isn't down to you how anyone chooses, Got it.
Spo many great singers that are forgotten, Linda Clifford... and my fave- ain't NOBODY that could taken on Stephanie Mills at her peak. How Come You Don't Call Me... she sang that on point, like Gwen here, she didn't have to take to the rafters but you could tell she could've if she wanted to.

I love her. She died too soon. No other voice like her!!!!!
Oh! The good old days! I loved this era, the song and the songstress herself. Being black is a privilege ❤❤❤❤
With all the drama in 2023 this music is the vibe
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.

BURT BACHARACH once said, ''This is the Sexiest version of this song he's ever heard''
I wonder what Richard Carpenter think of Gwen's cover of his sister Karen's song.
R.i.p. Mr B....
High praise from Burt himself
He's not the only one.
Gwen Guthrie is another beautiful woman that didn't get enough notoriety.
Just like more of my favorite singers:
Martha Wash
Jocelyn Brown

67DrWatson: Both are excellent (alternative) versions...this is more R&B...
Right! Where'd it all go?
Couldn't have been said better
We'll put! 👍
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!!

Rest In Eternal Paradise Gwen Guthrie. You'll always be remembered by the beautiful music you left us with.
The more I listen to this song, the more I love it! Rest in peace beautiful Gwen!
This be a jam that could be played today and would kill it. On the air waves
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?
Very beautiful, orchestrated, and articulated comment‼️. AWESOME 👑. (2024)
Well said 👍🏾🎯💪🏾💯🔥👍🏿🙏🏿
Gwen Guthrie's collaborations with Sly, Robbie & the Compass Point Studios are definitely some of the real standouts of 80's music.
Gone too soon! RIP Gwen! We miss you!
yeah just like micheal jackson gone too soon
Phyllis Hyman as well.
Her producer was 🔥🔥
She's left us..Love her.
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

80’s being 80’s I so glad I was there and lived it 😍😍
I didn't know she had a video. for this song one of my favorite

Very smooth voice- so stylish ,that was Gwen
Banging! Bringing back the best times of my life, still listening October 2022❤️
She was so underrated too!One of the best vocalist of the 80s.
Was surprised to hear gwen guthrie had passed years ago,one of the hottest singer of the 80s and 90s RIP
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.
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.
La lala La grande....Mais grande Classe ohhhhhhhh OUIIIIIIII !!!!!!!!greaaaaaaaaaat class i can f..........k just with that........ gentlemen!;;!

Gotta Love This Song! I Love It!
Never get tired of this rendition 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
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 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.

In all modesty I agree with Burt that this is the best version of his song.
What a tune! Love this as much as the original! Memories! :-)

Still a classic 2024 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Gwen, you did Karen proud
RIP both of you. ❤
