I just heard Miley sing it also! I think this beautiful lady has passed now, I’m going to Google her! I have never heard it before, it’s beautiful as sung by both women! A heartbreaker! 💔💔
Thanks miley cyrus for introducing this song to people like me who rely on some decent singers of today to take us back to classics by singing them ...
Miley blew me away when she sang it! Truthfully, I’ve listened to three different versions and I like Miley‘s the best! She even beat Gladys Knight! Sorry… just calling it as I heard it! Miley is a very interesting and talented woman!!
I discovered this song while watching a British TV show called “The Vicar of Dibley” and it instantly joined my rotation and became a favorite. Miley Cyrus is one of only a handful of artists who could adequately cover it and she absolutely killed it.
This song has just made me cry and cut my soul in half. Not sure where its been hiding all my life, but the pain in her voice is absolutely phenomenal... what a masterpiece 👏
Absolutely brilliant. I played this to my daughter years ago. Nowin her 40s we still laugh at this song and Tell Laura I love her. Funny how some songs take us back years in time.
I saw my love Walking down the aisle And as he passed me by He turned to me and Gave me a smile Then the preacher Then the preacher The preacher joined their hands And all the people The people began to stand When I shouted It should have been me Oh, it should have been me You know it should have been me Baby, how can you do this to me You made a promise That we'd never part Then you turned around And you broke, Lord, my heart Now you're standing there Saying, I do Holding hands With somebody new When you know that It should have been me Oh, it should have been me Oh, oh, it should have been me Baby, how can you do this to me Then the preacher, whoa, yeah The preacher asked that There be silence please If any objections to this wedding Speak now or forever Forever hold your peace And I stood up and said It should have been me Oh, oh, it should have been me Jumped out of my seat and screamed It should have been me Oh, oh, oh, hey You're blowing my mind People, believe me That man is mine It should have been me No, oh, oh, you know It should have been me Oh, ho, it should have been me Oh, ho, somebody call the police That woman down there Is a doggone thief It should have been me It should have been me Oh, oh, It should have been me... (Songwriters: Normal Whitfield/William Stevenson)
Never heard this before until the other day when it was played full blast at the an inclusive hotel pool in Tenerife, couple hundred of people, some lying on sun loungers and others dancing etc, could see everyone was enjoying this song
Just heard Miley sing this on Jimmy Fallon. Yvonne Fair was brilliant and Miley hit it out of the park. Miley needs to include this on an album. Fantastic singing from both women.
@@yorkiecob Yep, one of my early teenage (15 ish) favourites, I had the single & kept playing it over & over again, couldn´t get enough of it. RIP Maám Yvonne ❤
Love the song but I'm also eternally grateful that, despite my lifetime of failed relationships, I never have to say that it should have been me! Sometimes life is okay.
Yvonne Fair - A memory of 1975 made me search the title bc I had not heard it in years (48). Then I found this. Thank you for sharing your voice! Such beauty audibly & visually is not frequent. I last heard this at ‘George’s Crisco Disco’ in Memphis 1976. Your performance here I will revisit often. ❤️
In the album version of the song, which is only slightly longer than the single version, right at the end Yvonne sings "It should have been me. Get your hands off of me" 😂
I remember being at the wedding of the first of us to get married and her ex was next to me with our friend Jim who (very quietly) sang this chorus and we all had to stifle our giggles. We were ridiculously young to be fair......
This song is wonderful because your mothers voice captures the emotions that the lyrics evoke. I remember it as being one of those songs that as soon as you heard it you were just craving hearing it again and in those days the shops sold out really quick and you then had to wait till more copies arrived.RIP Yvonne Fair
Yvonne here expresses the pain and sorrow that romantic love as, opposed to real love, inflicts on so many people, go girl, some super soulful singing!
I don't know what's better. The original version or the remake that Miley Cyrus done to embarrass Pete Davidson on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon? Either way not to take nothing away from Yvonne Fair song, but Miley Cyrus does justice to thus remake track that made Pete Davidson speechless, Jimmy cracking up and if someone ask her to perform a song, I bet she said, "Hold My Beer, Just Watch Me!!!" Miley's performance was solid gold hands down bar none she owns the stage and took that remake song to a whole new level.
My Favourite Motown track, I wondered what happened to Yvonne Fair, I am sad that she passed away all that time ago I never saw anything about her passing, the first time that I saw a picture of her I thought that it was of a young Diana Ross, As anyone else noticed the likeness? I've only ever heard Yvonne Fair's version so I don't think that I could listen to any other, This was Yvonne's song she made it her own, RIP Yvonne Fair.
I agree, she died far too young. After I heard Miley sing it, I immediately went to hear the original, wow. They both did justice to the song! Yvonne died from cancer so very young… how cool of Miley because so many people are now listening to the original version!
Sitting here with tears running down my face. My God thank you for the gift if this incredible woman's soulful voice. I'll bet Etta James and Koko Taylor are feeling the same emotions I am right now listening to this. Now if you'd like to see an alternate version that has Milli and Vanilli rolling in their graves as I'm typing this. Search RUclips for IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME uploaded by Steve Bailey . It's a brilliant clip from Westward Ho. a bar in Puerto de LA Cruz Tenerife where Maurice & Alan (two brits) did three shows a week.
What an absolute classic! In the early 90s I acquired a double cassette album of Motown hits called 'from Motown with Love' and this song was on it. Thanks KTEL for introducing me to superb music like this.
Amazing. I'm not usually a fan of covers, this is one the acceptions. She also reminds me of Janice Goplin. As she gets older and her voice grows she is gonna be fantabulous 🎉
This song is a true CLASSIC! We need the next soulful big voice of Idol to stand up and bring this song to life again! (Shut up all u racists with ur crap comments below, trying to rant on when us normal people want to hear good soulful tunes, bugger off & find somewhere else to rant on about crap!) appreciate the music!
Just heard this for the first time ever by Miley Cyrus on jimmy Fallon . Needed to hear the original. How fantastic.
And now watch "Just your average wedding Congratulations Peter and Peter" lol
Yes!!
I just heard Miley sing it also! I think this beautiful lady has passed now, I’m going to Google her! I have never heard it before, it’s beautiful as sung by both women! A heartbreaker! 💔💔
Me too🙂
Omg that brought me here too!!
Miley just announced she’s gonna perform this on Jimmy Fallon tonight I can’t waiiittttt
Just listened to it! She’s great
it was a great cover
Great cover. Hadn’t heard this song it forever. What a classic
Thanks miley cyrus for introducing this song to people like me who rely on some decent singers of today to take us back to classics by singing them ...
SAME!
YES
maybe a tiny bit more that « decent » but i agree :)
You said exactly what I wanted to, but couldn't find the right words..lol
Let's tell it like it is.
I can't believe I've heard this song for the first time through Miley Cyrus of all people. And not only that, but her version was excellent.
Miley blew me away when she sang it! Truthfully, I’ve listened to three different versions and I like Miley‘s the best! She even beat
Gladys Knight! Sorry… just calling it as I heard it!
Miley is a very interesting and talented woman!!
@@TheNeworleanswoman you just had to sneak that stupid comparison in, huh?
Sorry! MILEY VERSION IS THE BEST!
@@malgorzatabujnarowski2078 Miles Cyrus would give a fortune away to have a voice like Yvonne Fair.
@@malgorzatabujnarowski2078
That's your opinion.
Many like myself disagree with you.
Rest easy Yvonne. 💗🕊💗
Never was a lyric delivered with such intensity. She was fabulous!! Yvonne Fair ,,,still sorely missed!
So right , MILEY CYRUS WILL PREFORM this at Fallon tonight! So excited
Real deal
Couldn't agree more ..... this is a powerful song.
She sang the daylights out of this song. You just felt her pain in every word. What a voice she had!
She certainly did
I discovered this song while watching a British TV show called “The Vicar of Dibley” and it instantly joined my rotation and became a favorite. Miley Cyrus is one of only a handful of artists who could adequately cover it and she absolutely killed it.
I was looking for the Vicar of Dibley clip when I found your brilliant post!
When she wanted to marry Richard Armitage..
Is that why it has that weird beginning and end to the video?
A lip sync version of this was in a Vicar of Dibley special. Hilarious!
Wow, I loved this when it first came out in the 70's, here now in 2023 it is still FANTASTIC.
Thank you Miley! I’m obsessed with this song now…
This song has just made me cry and cut my soul in half. Not sure where its been hiding all my life, but the pain in her voice is absolutely phenomenal... what a masterpiece 👏
Absolutely brilliant. I played this to my daughter years ago. Nowin her 40s we still laugh at this song and Tell Laura I love her. Funny how some songs take us back years in time.
Ye I wo thinkinf same,,, if id a kniwn my ex wo getting married, I would a stopped, it, along stiry,
Same here…
My mom had this on vinyl when I was a child! I'm 50 next week! I remember it from back then on the deck! Always playing loud wow! Takes me back...😊
miley is really out there introducing iconic songs for the new generation, queen behaviour
Only one queen where this song is concerned .
There is so much emotion in her voice that you would think it was really happening to her
one of those rare moments when the perfect voice finds its perfect song at the perfect moment in time with the perfect performance. timeless classic
jackspinner1 Absolutely Top Comment 💯
jackspinner1 Spot on 👍
That beautiful powerhouse voice!!!
Whitney Houston comes to mind
So true
Never heard this song before Miley sang it. its absolutely fabulous
Yvonne did it better .
Incredible voice. Goosebumps every time.
I saw my love
Walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned to me and
Gave me a smile
Then the preacher
Then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people
The people began to stand
When I shouted
It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
You know it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me
You made a promise
That we'd never part
Then you turned around
And you broke, Lord, my heart
Now you're standing there
Saying, I do
Holding hands
With somebody new
When you know that
It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me
Then the preacher, whoa, yeah
The preacher asked that
There be silence please
If any objections to this wedding
Speak now or forever
Forever hold your peace
And I stood up and said
It should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Jumped out of my seat and screamed
It should have been me
Oh, oh, oh, hey
You're blowing my mind
People, believe me
That man is mine
It should have been me
No, oh, oh, you know
It should have been me
Oh, ho, it should have been me
Oh, ho, somebody call the police
That woman down there
Is a doggone thief
It should have been me
It should have been me
Oh, oh, It should have been me...
(Songwriters: Normal Whitfield/William Stevenson)
Vocals to die for. Wow Yvonne!
This is honestly such a beautiful song ahhhhhhh. Her voice, her pain, the lyrics.
Can’t wait for it to blow up again after Miley and SNL
This is when music was real. RIP. miss Yvonne
Outstanding bonjourno
Never heard this before until the other day when it was played full blast at the an inclusive hotel pool in Tenerife, couple hundred of people, some lying on sun loungers and others dancing etc,
could see everyone was enjoying this song
Just heard Miley sing this on Jimmy Fallon. Yvonne Fair was brilliant and Miley hit it out of the park. Miley needs to include this on an album. Fantastic singing from both women.
Gladys Knight & the Pips sang it back in the late 60s..a brilliant version.
I sing this every Saturday night after the lotto!
+Keith Walker cheer's

Absolutely fantastic track ❤🔥🔥🔥
Im here after i heared miley is gonna perform this on fallon show

How great that Miley did her tribute to this, I bet it will bring more views. Both sing it brilliantly
Yvonne, your voice and emotion just gives me chills. Incredible natural talent. R.I.P
Fantastic What a voice rip Yvonne Xx😘😉
Rip girl you never beforgot.x
@@lesralphs9200She might have been alright as a little backup,But She DidNot Have the Talent to Sang,Thats not singing.
The Best, the very, best rendition!!! Should have been a huge hit!
lt was in the UK

Gives me the chills
Just heard this song on a video of a wedding on Facebook.. I had to fund the song.. ❤❤
One of the most powerful and moving SOUL records ever made. Just close your eyes and feel the pain. PHENOMENAL STUFF.
Love the song but I'm also eternally grateful that, despite my lifetime of failed relationships, I never have to say that it should have been me!
Sometimes life is okay.
I fall in love everytime I hear this song it takes me back to a special time with someone who meant alot to me
Santa Claus?
I have heard others sing this song. This lady doesn't just sing the song , she owns it. Absolutely fabulous.
what a great memory from the 70's.
This ladies voice is amazing ❤
Goosebumps!!!!!!
Every wedding I go to, when they ask that question to the congregation, I hear this song. After all these years, every time.
Sing it, my sister, nothing could take the place of raw, black soul songs.
Yvonne Fair - A memory of 1975 made me search the title bc I had not heard it in years (48). Then I found this. Thank you for sharing your voice! Such beauty audibly & visually is not frequent. I last heard this at ‘George’s Crisco Disco’ in Memphis 1976.
Your performance here I will revisit often. ❤️
Miley Cyrus brought me here and I’m so glad ❣️❣️
This is such a powerful song .....
Yasss! Yvonne... Emmerdale brought me here!!! Like when you found it :)
Same!
Fantastic singer x
Omg Miley sang this song on SNL and it was amazing
Looove love love
"Somebody call the police that woman dow there is a doggone thief" absolute 🔥 🔥
“Somebody call d POL-ce cos dat woman up deir is a god damn thief “ ... absolutely superb! This is one of the most underrated songs of all time.
ditto, young ones now don,t know what great music is, just an old fart i gess
In the album version of the song, which is only slightly longer than the single version, right at the end Yvonne sings "It should have been me. Get your hands off of me" 😂
Glad to see somebody else quote that cuz that's the best line in the song and I always wait to hear that line
I actually think the lyrics are "That women up their is a doggone theif!". It's a great line either way :3
@@withgoddess7164 Me too, It's wonderful.
Why is this kind of passion not in todays music? This matters ...
Because todays music is soulless throw away rubbish thats why.
You do feel her passion. Not many songs do that.
@rugbydazz I'm hopeful Streaming Radio may be able to accomplish this
... everything is a cycle!
Very true Steve.
Love this(the original) and Miley's cover. Fantastic song
I remember being at the wedding of the first of us to get married and her ex was next to me with our friend Jim who (very quietly) sang this chorus and we all had to stifle our giggles. We were ridiculously young to be fair......
here before Miley covers this. Mark my words.
Same 😂
Brilliant amazing voice
beautiful song ,,brought back a lot of memories,,,and I love the video,,,so cool thank for sharing,,,,
heard this song for the first time today throu a random click on youtube and cant get it out my head.this is wot youtubes about,love it
This song is wonderful because your mothers voice captures the emotions that the lyrics evoke. I remember it as being one of those songs that as soon as you heard it you were just craving hearing it again and in those days the shops sold out really quick and you then had to wait till more copies arrived.RIP Yvonne Fair
I love this song so much. It was amazing when it was first released, but even more amazing years later
wow!!!Just stumbled upon this and darn!!That woman could sing
los que vivimos una situación así, sentimos esta canción con el alma
I saw Yvonne Fair open for the Supremes several times in the 60's and never ever forgot her. She was amazing!
Reminds me of my wedding
Had to pay security so a couple exs couldn’t get into church,
Bless there socks off ❤
Every note she belted out entered me and left through tears. What a heavenly voice.
We always got a chuckle out of this number.
Yvonne here expresses the pain and sorrow that romantic love as, opposed to real love, inflicts on so many people, go girl, some super soulful singing!
This song touched the fuck outta me! It's relatable to millions of people that lost the one they love💔🙏🏾
Brilliant song sung by a brilliant singer so powerful
Last Chance U Basketball on Netflix brought me here…2022. The vocals are incredible.
I have adored this song since I first heard it !!! THIS IS THE VERSION !!!!!!💖💖💖
Never heard this before,but loving it now..what a voice on this lady.
wow... man she makes you feel that song!!!
Agree Angeline. The emotion in her voice is so raw and so full of pain. . Makes me wonder if this ever happened to Yvonne for real.......
Angeline Williams
This is an early Gladys Knight song, Hear Gladys version it is all that. Pull it up on RUclips.
Angeline Williams fab songxx
This is the home wrecker version.
I wanted to get up and do this broken hearted
Last chance U brought me here 💯

One of the best performances EVER!!
Janet kay/silly games....Eddie holmond/hey there lonely games...best 2 solo vocals...but this is pretty good lol

Heard this many years ago
STILL WOW!! ❤
Like this version better
What a shame we didn't get to hear more from this extremely talented lady, this song was, is, and always will be one of the best

Who's here after watching the Miley Cyrus version on Jimmy Fallon 🤩🤩😍
She’s singing this like she feeling it, Ottis reading singing. I’ve been loving you for too long to stop now, same vibes, love it
This Lady gives this song something that just reaches out and grabs you.
God this lady could belt out a tune with such emotion! Wondeful voice!
I remember when I heard this a long time ago. This woman sang it from her heart, and it sounds like she had to endure it.
First heard this serving in NI in 84, someone was always playing it.
What an absolute classic! In the early 90s I acquired a double cassette album of Motown hits called 'from Motown with Love' and this song was on it. Thanks KTEL for introducing me to superb music like this.

Wow you can really hear the passion and heartbreak in her voice .such a brilliant song .
Amazing. I'm not usually a fan of covers, this is one the acceptions. She also reminds me of Janice Goplin. As she gets older and her voice grows she is gonna be fantabulous 🎉
This song must be over 40 years old but still sounds just as great as it did back in the day
song yeah,but video is like 1987-88
