I know a lot of ppl think this is R&B.....This is SOUL music.....because only SOUL music can evoke feelings in you like no other genre of music....it truly touches your soul.God bless her voice
This IS undeniably the ORIGINAL R and B as well. People have just confused it with this watered down version we have today. R is for RHYTHM: she has that. B is for BLUES or pain: she has that as well. This is R&B sung with SOUL!
Bless you for that comment! I believe Gladys to be the most soulful singer ever. To hear her in concert can make your heart fly and your tears fall at the same time. If i could only listen to one singer on a desert island, this lady is it.
I went to see her some time in the early 80's in Louisville KY and I had a seat 2nd row center stage. I heard her sing 2 songs and my pregnant wife turned and said I'm sick and we have to leave. That was 40 years ago and I'm still mad at her. I did keep the wife and I'm still listening to this wonderful singer.
Saw her today in Amsterdam. 79 years old and the voice is still strong. A pure, elegant, sincere Lady. Thank You Gladys. Thank you for your endurance, your example. You have opened doors for many. My generation is reaping the benefits of your sacrifices. Let's not forget that Gladys still had to use the back door to enter a concert hall in the 60s.
It doesn't get any better than this, still listening in2023... Gladys and the Pips!!!! "just came back to watch this gem again after seeing Gladys in concert last night at the Casino.. Nov 2024
An unsung quality of Gladys is her stage presence. With minimal moves or theatrics, her swag and authority always sieze your attention when she performs. Takes a strong, confident artist to pull that off.
I bet if she sang this song today it would sound just as good....among the Motown alumni her voice, and looks btw, have withstood the years extremely well.
The Empress of Soul's voice is stronger than it was back in the day. I've seen her live several times and it gets stronger with time. You can tell she wasn't a smoker and probably didn't drink a lot either. She took care of her "instrument" which is why it's still sounding even better today.!!
When I was a little girl Gladys knight was my favorite Motown female singer we had a a play room in the backyard and and there was an old couch, black and white TV and an old stereo and I would lock 🔒 the door and blast her music 🎵 and use to use a hair brush like a microphone and sing along I knew all her songs by heart ❤️ if you're down on the childhood u had growing up hang on to the good memories Even if you only have one and let go of the bad ones and the burden you place on yourself won't be as bad
LORD HAVE MERCY! when she sings this song, she just stirs up all kind of stuff inside you. one of the best female voices ever. heard her recently. woman still got her pipes.
Man I physically start trembling when she sings this song, And when she gets to 2:24...I'm just done. You can hear in her voice that she actually went through that pain. They just don't make them like Gladys Knight anymore.
Isn’t it something how she just dominates your emotions with her voice? If you feel nothing while listening to her singing this song then you need to go make an appointment
As you get older you’ll definitely feel the lyrics of this type of song. You’ve experienced some things and the song hits you differently than when you were younger
I grew up in the 70's listening to KGFJ Soul Music radio station in L. A.. Never had a great station like that since. That is where my love of SOUL music came from. If you feel the music, you love the music. Thank you Gladys Knight!!!
Ain't that the TRUTH,to busy trying to Make Fast 💳then Honing their Skills and being Classy at the Same time .Trying to Cross over because that's where the 💳is and they instead get a M🎵SIC CAREER OE 1-4 YRS IF LUCKY INSTEAD OF A 50 YEAR CAREER WITH RESPECT.
Bar none my absolute favorite female singer, regardless of the musical style. Gladys just brings it. You feel it when she sings. She can just flat sang the thang.
One of THE MOST beautiful songs of the era....With love and thank you's to Gladys Knight...The Pips...The Funk Brothers and The Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Way to go MOTOWN...Way to go Detroit. FIRST CLASS.
Just saw Ms Knight in Atlantic City 5/12/18 she sang this song and all those legendary hits and I tell you it was a home run, touch down, three pointer, drop the mic performance - her voice and presence on a stage is magnificent still as a woman in her senior years! Love me some Gladys!
I listened to this song in the early 70s. My parents were big fans of GK and the Pips! There is no lip syncing here. Pure musical talent. So much soul. Too bad they don't make them like this anymore. The 70s were so cool. So much talent!!!!
This lady has it all, smooth sultry voice & an absolutely raw soulful voice which is what it's all about. She has always been right up there as a favorite of mine, same status as Aretha or Patti in my book, just different styles & that's what makes the world go round.
the power of her voice and the emotion conveyed blows me away. Too bad there is not talent like this these days. But I see Gladys live every chance I get. Forever The Empress!!!
They just don't make music like this anymore, the artists cannot even come out with music! I wish I could turn the clock back to the years when the music made you take notice.
💞🥰🥰 THESE lyrics are still traveling in relationships in 2021! I love Lady Gladys! Was so delighted to see her in my city in a “sold out” arena right before pandemic. Her voice is still strong and just flawless… she looked stunning 🔥!!
You better know it!! I just left from seeing her in Norfolk, Va.. at the Chrysler Hall. OMG!! She is stunning and voice is out of this world!! I thoroughly enjoyed myself!! Gladys the Badys
Ms. Gladys looking _lovely_ and _radiant_ as ever. The Pips got on the same attire as they did on the first episode of _Soul Train_ and didn't miss a beat! I'm here cause I wanna be the first before and after the premiere of _American Soul_ on BET. RIP William Guest and Edward Patten.
This live performance right here sounds just like the recording. Ive had the pleasure of seeing her and Bubba perform and the two were awesome. There are very few artists, who can sing live and sound like the studio recording.
A Beautiful Masterpiece Beautifully Performed By The Legendary Iconic Gladys Knight and The Pips.A Real 🍫 Princess.A. Woman Amongst Women.Elegantly Sexy Beautiful.Now This Is What You Call A Diva Performing One Of Her Classic Masterpieces .
This is one of my top songs in the entire world. I love Gladys and she really put it down. I feel the message and we experience this everyday. This song is just Timeless. I love these lyrics.
as great as this is , it got better , in 1985 i bought the album LIFE by gladys and the pips , and i discovered the the BUNNY SIGLER penned TILL I SEE YOU AGAIN , to this day , for me , it remains the epitome of soul singing .
I know a lot of ppl think this is R&B.....This is SOUL music.....because only SOUL music can evoke feelings in you like no other genre of music....it truly touches your soul.God bless her voice
Pure Soul
There absolutely IS a difference. Thank you for saying so!

She is the baddest sista on a mic!!!! hands down.
Oh,my word!!! Absolutely, without a doubt!!!!! What a voice!!!!!
@@kathydavis1444 So underrated.
@@dsteph2789 Most consider her a legendary singer. I know I do.
Best believe it!💯
Right on. Sorry ta say, but I'll take her over Aretha or Diana any day.

There are no words to describe this woman and her voice!!!! LOVE HER!!!
2019 who's still playing this..

Playing it in 2020
I'll be playing it in another 25 years if I'm still around. It's timeless.
Me. You have to live it first and foremost. Sing Girl. Got to be Truthful.

Glady is the one and only female artist that no one else never had her unique voice or sway.
An unsung quality of Gladys is her stage presence. With minimal moves or theatrics, her swag and authority always sieze your attention when she performs. Takes a strong, confident artist to pull that off.
I bet if she sang this song today it would sound just as good....among the Motown alumni her voice, and looks btw, have withstood the years extremely well.
True
it's actually as amazing or better than this. I saw her in St Louis last year and she nailed it.
dwsheffer love
The Empress of Soul's voice is stronger than it was back in the day. I've seen her live several times and it gets stronger with time. You can tell she wasn't a smoker and probably didn't drink a lot either. She took care of her "instrument" which is why it's still sounding even better today.!!
you said it she is the person who is probably the same as she was in the 60's look wise and voice wise. Nobody can beat her at consistency.
Her voice my goodness! TAKE UM TO CHURCH GLADYS!!!! Reaches your soul for real. And she was so pretty.
Glady had that very unique voice like no other female artist. I think Toni Braxton has a voice like hers.
She was gorgeous!!
I am a fan of this woman and her voice!!!!!!!!love this song!!!
Epitome of what is missing from music today: CLASS!
Yes you’re so right, the words expressed how we felt. Gladys is one of a kind, her voice is unique
My goodness she sang it live and nailed it like the record. Not many can do that - nope nope nope.Not many.
She Truly is the Empress!

Man I physically start trembling when she sings this song, And when she gets to 2:24...I'm just done. You can hear in her voice that she actually went through that pain. They just don't make them like Gladys Knight anymore.
Gladys at the top of her game,and with the Pips!Excellent!Bravo!Encore!Curtain Call!
When I compare the music my young ears were hearing to what the young ears hear today, I just want to weep!
Isn’t it something how she just dominates your emotions with her voice? If you feel nothing while listening to her singing this song then you need to go make an appointment
I'm still listening in 2020. You can't hear this singing today.
Baby this was called Soul Music for a reason. It touched your Soul in a deep place..These classics are and will remain timeless.
As you get older you’ll definitely feel the lyrics of this type of song. You’ve experienced some things and the song hits you differently than when you were younger
Ms. Knight not only sounds great but also look like a Queen of soul.
Perfect pitch and tone . She’s a singers singer
YASSSSSS,,,you nailed it JB

The real Queen of soul is on the 🎤 Enough said
The Empress at her finest.Baddest female vocalist of all time..Class personified
Don't y'all sleep on her, nor those background singers/ dancers...
she had swag before the word was invented , and the voice to go along with it .
Gladys was killing it in this song!
I love this song and Gladys Knight and the Pips. No one has a voice like her! The Pips are sooooo smooth! This is what you call entertainment.
This is top notch, the original voice of soul music
Today's female artists could not hold anything against the Empress of Soul.
SAY IT AGAIN!
She's the best, on every level.
THE QUEEN ❤

Cant' get over just how extremely beautiful the younger Gladys Knight was....with a voice that just slays you.

One of The Greatest Performances of All Time!
Her live performances were incredible!
Gladys was so pretty. Naturally beautiful.
She was setting a standard for class and elegance for ladies to follow she showed them you can have success and not sell your body
Unlike many singers today who feel they have to show every crevice of their body to be acknowledged. UGH!! Thank you, Sistah Gladys.
If Kelly Rowland doesn't play her in her biopic I don't want it. PeriodT.
What a Wonderful voice !! ❤️❤️❤️
Great Gladys !! 💖
My fav GK & P song. She absolutely KILLS it.
Wow, my childhood in the inner city in the 70s...unspeakable, pleasant memories, and our struggles
This live performance right here sounds just like the recording. Ive had the pleasure of seeing her and Bubba perform and the two were awesome. There are very few artists, who can sing live and sound like the studio recording.
True. They ALWAYS sounded just like their recordings or better. That’s talent!
One of the best female voices ever.
Gladys & The Pips at the top of their game!
My favorite by her & the Pips!
I heard this song on SiriusXM on the Classic Soul Countdown,I was 8 when this song came out,that’s Classic Soul at its best!
She's so beautiful and such an amazing voice! Love her and the pips. This is what you call music.

Whn she sings she sings wholeheartedly and passionately...she just loves singing THTS ALL
