They look like they were having a ball. I am so glad that I grew up in that era. This generation will never understand the freedoms and the fun that we had. God help us all.
That's crazy how Gladys Knight was 43 in this video, because I was a kid when this came out and I'm 43 now! This joint hits harder now that I'm a Grown Man who is single and ready to mingle!
She is coming to my city this weekend . So glad I got my ticket. This is going to be EPIC. It's February 2024, it's my birthday. I am ready to see her. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for saving me the trouble of looking her age in this video. She looks fantastic and I've always admired how well she aged over the years. Most importantly she sounds terrific such a talent
This was a banger back in '87. Massive song. Reggie and Vincent Calloway gave this jam the Midnight Star feel. And Gladys Knight's voice? Outta this world. Brilliant joint. Love it.
@@dennispeterson202 My Grandpa Ben was a furrier in Detroit in the 60s-70s and some of the motown artists were customers. One night my grandparents were home eating dinner when someone knocked on the door... My Grandma answered and yelled "Ben, the pimps are here to pick up their furs!". Turned out it was The Pips and she misheard them and thought they were pimps coming to buy new fur coats lol
Back in the day, growing up a white boy on the edge of the ghetto with my 13 brothers and sisters, I used to dream about one day becoming the first caucasian pip.
Anytime I hear great music like this. I think of my grandmother having a few people over. In one hour it was a party. Rest in Heaven Hortense Caruthers.
A special talent . In her own right. Oldie but still a goodie. Has a real good stage presence. A real show stopper.She aged so gracefully. You go Gladys.
This song is fascinating when you really put your ear to it. The rhythm carries the melody throughout the entire song. Yet it's never repetitive or overbearing. There's a lot going on within the instrumentation as well as the vocal performances of Gladys and the Pips et al -in every section of the song. No part is exactly the same. Everything in this song just seems to totally click. Great composition and recording. It's a masterpiece of our BLACK culture.
I agree with everything you said, except if I were to say what you said, but "it's a masterpiece of our "white" culture , I would be called a racist and shut down??????
I’m white and not offended at all by that statement. But I understand and know this nation’s history and what’s been done to African Americans, now, back to this party! I LOVE this song! 🎉🎉
I remember how shocked Glady's was on the Grammy awards when she beat out the more youthful & hugely popular group, New Edition with this jam for best vocal musical group!
Gladys, Gladys Gladys, Girlfriend! You haven't lost any sparkle and still make me weak in the knees on the dance floor! Your "perfection in performance" PIPS are on fire here too! SOS!
A rendition of this song was performed by Gladys Knight, Jasmaine Guy (Whitley Gilbert), and Dawnn Lewis (Jalessa Vinson) in a 1988 episode of A Different World.
I listen to it and i am not oldie, i appreciate good songs with meaning, and the oldies have life meaning and so do some and i mean Some have life recent music do too.
When this cut came out --- eerybody was like --- what --- Is that Gladys, Gladys, Glayds and the boys! Yep, and it was poppin' with Reggie Calloway from Midnight Star writing the joint that brought Baby Girl and the Pips back into the milieu for their last moment of greatness! #bravo #smokin #NoNo1ontheblackcharts #believethat
You know...it's so sad Gladys hasn't got so much funky uptempo/midtempo hits in the past...I guess she didn't push it either after knowing in the 60's by Mr. Berry Gordy (then Motown boss), in order to favor his then lover Diana Ross, her voice was "heavier" and it would not thrive in a more Pop arena...this can kill any artist dreams alone...Gladys should've not believed and kept on going...it feels so good to listen to her voice in a funky uptempo beat!...
Love this song! This was my favorite episode from A Different World. I went out and bought the album so I could have this song after it aired back in the day.
Ah, the days of the gifted *singer.* Rich, professional vocals that made you feel a way. Grown women wore clothes and let they talent speak for itself. This song done played in my head all day. I just had to come and check on it.
I'm here after the verzuz battle between Gladys Knight and Patti Labelle. Two R & B living legends. I enjoy the verzuz battle between different artists. First let me state my reasons why. This came at a time when this world was dealing with a pandemic. People here in this country was dealing with the loss of their love ones, their health, job loss, no money, limited income and the list keeps going on and on. Therefore, trying to find ways to help cope with these challenges someone began the Verzuz Battle. This was a great idea. Not only was it a distraction from the worries but it also gave the opportunity for the younger generation to hear this beautiful music. It's not about winning the battle because their all winners.
This was - and is - THE JAM. This is one of the first songs I remember at family BBQs as a kid in the late 80s. This will always be associated with good times in my childhood.
Saw them at the Universal in Los Angeles when this song was riding high, and they opened the concert with it, and killed with that one and every song after it.....incredibly tight at this point-such precision! They went out as a group, at the very TOP!
Glady's and the Pips as good as they were have never gotten the recognition they deserve. The music industry waits till they die. Give flowers while people can smell em'! Love y'all Glady's!.
Gladys Gladys 💕 2024
2024 I’m still listening 🎉
They look like they were having a ball. I am so glad that I grew up in that era. This generation will never understand the freedoms and the fun that we had. God help us all.
GLADYS WAS AS BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS.. HER VOICE IS LENGENDARY AND THE PIPS WAS HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN
How I wish that we had more classy and stylish black women in the music industry now like Gladys Knight ✨
I heard this song on a episode of different world.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
That's crazy how Gladys Knight was 43 in this video, because I was a kid when this came out and I'm 43 now! This joint hits harder now that I'm a Grown Man who is single and ready to mingle!
"A Different World" brought me here.
I LOVE that Dawnn Lewis and Jasmine Guy were her backup singers in that episode! 😊🤎🖤🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
She is coming to my city this weekend . So glad I got my ticket. This is going to be EPIC. It's February 2024, it's my birthday. I am ready to see her. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I am going to see her tonight 🤗 ❤ Charlotte NC

She put one hell a show

@@Susan-kw3dtno you didn't.
Gladys was 43 when this was made and she looked and still looks fantastic!! Still sounds good too
Thanks for saving me the trouble of looking her age in this video. She looks fantastic and I've always admired how well she aged over the years. Most importantly she sounds terrific such a talent
Vem bryr sig om hur hon ser ut med den rösyen
Wow! I thought she was much younger than that!
Why do ppl think 43 is old & we are supposed to look old & decrepit??? I'm 43 & I still look & feel youthful.. old is like 65 or 70! 😂
@@deannadd1985 43 isn't old! I'm 43 & far from old 😂
This was a banger back in '87. Massive song. Reggie and Vincent Calloway gave this jam the Midnight Star feel. And Gladys Knight's voice? Outta this world. Brilliant joint. Love it.
It had also hit the charts back in 1988.
Don't forget the pips ooh
This is my cardio jam! 💃🏾
I AM ALL FOR THE EVOLUTION OF MUSIC, BUT I CANNOT LET THIS ERA GO! MAN I LOVE IT!! SING GLADYS, GIRL, SING!!!!!!
The Pips=Best backup singers ever!
I always said I didn't want to be Gladys, I wanted to be a Pip.
Yes. Correct

And still sounds fantastic!

The quality of this video is amazing. Gladys is too cute!
The Calloway Brothers with that Casanova percussion sound.
Very classic. We need musics to be this classy again, please musicians bring back the authenticity of music.
The Empress of Soul, eternally youthful, flawless voice, anyone listening in 2019?
2020
@@psm190826 nope 2020!
I don't care what people say, because I love you so much!
Miss Knight's glorious voice, she can sing anything and elevate it to greater heights.
Amen, pure talent and not singing about money, jewels, her "kitty kat", etc. Refreshing!!!!!

Recently saw Gladys on A Different World(I know its an old show lol) and she sung this song with Whitley and Jalissa #classic 💜
I remember how shocked Glady's was on the Grammy awards when she beat out the more youthful & hugely popular group, New Edition with this jam for best vocal musical group!
I still remember that too. I remember the next day in school my gym teacher even said New Edition should've won the award.
And the American Music Awards. She beat out Salt-N-Pepa and the boys from Bean Town.
Gladys has a very distinctive voice... Love her
Gladys, Gladys Gladys, Girlfriend! You haven't lost any sparkle and still make me weak in the knees on the dance floor! Your "perfection in performance" PIPS are on fire here too! SOS!

Mrs. Gladys Knight has the most amazing voice ever
"They tell me Gladys..." No, you can NOT sing like that... 🤷♀️🤣

Season school is still thankful for Sister and the Pips. Thank you for your endurance.
Ah, the days of the gifted *singer.* Rich, professional vocals that made you feel a way. Grown women wore clothes and let they talent speak for itself. This song done played in my head all day. I just had to come and check on it.
80s music is the best decade of music
A Different World brought me here 😌
+Neisha Nicole me whitley and jaylesia sanging background vocals my fav episode
kmsl me A Different World AYE
and that ok we love whitley too wish they bring it back dwayne wayne and my boy ron johnson

+Neisha Nicole Same. This version's good, but not as good as the one from A Different World.
25 years later, still loving it! Never gets old.
35 years later 😂
Unfortunately for us, it's been 35 years.
I just saw Gladys Saturday night in NYC, she still got it! She sounded great, a great show
Hello Debby, How are you doing?
Hi Debby,hope you’re okay ?
I Love This Song Gladys At Her Best And Pips Thank You For Sharing.
Love this tune! Brings back good memories of the 1980's.
Absolutely
Amazing beautiful greatest song of our times it was a hit and still listening as sweet oldies
80s the best decade ever!!!
don't forget the 60s and 70s as well both were the BEST too..
Marcos Adriano Chicatto I think the new jack swing era was the best for dance/r&b/hip hop combo you could fall in love, twerk at the same time lol.
Ben Rayonez no. The 60 & 70 don’t come close to the perfection that was the 1980’s
The 90's was the best decade also.
They need make more videos like this just singing and dancing no cussing or fighting
I love the this video and also Gladys knight

What yall know about that song I am 47 years old and I love that song and I hope you enjoy south ❤😂😮
Saw them at the Universal in Los Angeles when this song was riding high, and they opened the concert with it, and killed with that one and every song after it.....incredibly tight at this point-such precision! They went out as a group, at the very TOP!
The Callaway brothers was a beast with their craft and production
Gladys night is so beautiful
My daughter was just jamming this while cooking. This song brings back sooooo many great memories.
I don't care how long this song is I still love this!!!
Glady's and the Pips as good as they were have never gotten the recognition they deserve. The music industry waits till they die. Give flowers while people can smell em'! Love y'all Glady's!.
Exactly, they're so underrated 🤦🏿♂️
The music, staging, lighting and choreography have made this one of my all-time favorite Gladys Knight and The Pips music videos.
This makes me move love this alot. This will never get old. Love Ms Gladys a lot
One of the best songs ever!!!! Nothing like this kind of music, yes!!!!
They just don’t have that flava and rhythm🤷🏽♀️ any more
no idea why but I used to LOVE this song when it came out. LOL I bought the record and played it over and over.
I love this song from '88, I love all her songs. I love Gladys Knight. She is 6 months older than my grandmother.
She sounds as good today, as she did back in the day!😆✌🏼
Love this song with Glady's big strong voice.She looks great.
This is the greatest thing ever recorded
