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.
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.
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 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.!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
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.
Aretha Franklin is considered the queen of soul. And I RESPECT that.. But Gladys is and will always be my queen of soul.. Ever since I was a kid , I liked her voice just a little bit better.
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!!!
💞🥰🥰 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
There were two groups that came to Motown who were already seasoned and ready to go. That didn’t need to be “developed”. That was the Four Tops and G N&T P. It’s obvious to a duck that Gladys was hands down the best female singer at Motown. Ever!!!
Man, I've been saying the SAME THING for YEARS! Motown just didn't appreciate what they had, and they continuously found ways to mess over her and the Pips. Then there was the matter of Berry Gordy pushing/foisting a certain OTHER female vocalist on the world at the expense of Gladys (and even some of the members of that OTHER chick's singing group). When they finally left Motown, they proceeded to have the greatest successes of their careers. For me, though, I was always more of a Memphis person than a Motown person. Gladys is from Atlanta and has that DOWN HOME soul sound...which is very ANTI-MOTOWN. I gotta be honest, my favorite acts from 1960s Motown era--apart from the Psychedelic version of the Temps--were Gladys Knight & the Pips and Jr. Walker and the All-Stars because they were so ATYPICALLY Motown. They were DOWN HOME.
My high school sweetheart he was in the army hadn't heard from him in a long time I starring falling in loove with my daughter dad it was over 40years since I'd seen or heard from him rip clemon
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 .
Oh sing it Gladys we all have been in that position.. Thank you for all beautiful love songs..she’s so beautiful and the Pips are great...One couldn’t touch the pip that song the verse with her, with a 10 foot pole..He went back in line and knew he was the shit that day.. I don’t blame you, you have a beautiful voice...
A beautiful song, sung by a beautiful woman, & 3 good lookin guyz. A classic, a woman singin the blues so pretty Never goes out of style. Anybody can relate to this.
Sitting in the dark, Listening to this song with a glass of that brown 🥃🥃🥃🥃, missing the one I gave my 💖 to. Gladys is preaching to my soul right now. 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭

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.

Hey 👋
This is what you call REAL SOUL , every time I hear anything from Gladys.. It just touch my soul.

That's how the Queen of Soul sounds!
Gladys and the gus were,cowriters of this jewel, so when they sing..
.this...jewel,just...know...they put....their.
. body...and...soul....into....it🙂
Indeed!
There are no words to describe this woman and her voice!!!! LOVE HER!!!
This is top notch, the original voice of soul music
Great voice and drop dead gorgeous(,still is)..go girl!!!
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!!
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
Glady is the one and only female artist that no one else never had her unique voice or sway.
2019 who's still playing this..
I am.
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.
2021
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.
My goodness she sang it live and nailed it like the record. Not many can do that - nope nope nope.Not many.
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

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.
I am a fan of this woman and her voice!!!!!!!!love this song!!!
Perfect pitch and tone . She’s a singers singer
YASSSSSS,,,you nailed it JB
I love this group. They are a beautiful talented family.
Her voice is amazing
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.
It doesn't get any better than this... Gladys and the Pips!!!!
Here voice makes my heart go...pitter pat,,,, beautiful lady
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.
Oh yea. I love gladys. She the Queen of soul in my book
I'm still listening in 2020. You can't hear this singing today.
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 Knight & the Pips are simply fabulous!!!
Gladys at the top of her game,and with the Pips!Excellent!Bravo!Encore!Curtain Call!
Ms. Knight not only sounds great but also look like a Queen of soul.

DAG....THEY SANG THE HECK OUT OF THAT SONG!!! Well they always do!!
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...
Gladys was killing it in this song!
If you don't love this performance, there is something wrong in the Universe!
Your absolutely right! I watch this video at least three times a day. My heart melts every time🥹
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.
Fantastic Gladys and the Pips !! ❤️❤️❤️

One of the greatest voices EVER. Love you so much Ms. Knight
The real Queen of soul is on the 🎤 Enough said
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.
I could listen to this on an endless loop. She's just glorious.
i do.
