(1972) Empress Gladys "Make Me The Woman You Come Home To"

[jkiene]

Billy Holiday....Gladys Knight....Whitney Houston...not sure who's next...

[FutureBoy205504]

Gladys is the best female singer of all times.. Such a powerful voice!!

[sumerluv404]

"With a smile I fix your evening meal, iron your clothes; it ain't no big deal. It's all a part of loving you" Good God a-mighty this song makes me wanna get all domestic with a brotha! I feel so sorry for the this generation, they seem too afraid to love that real, that deep, that basic. It's all so superficial now.

[bigred4464]

I'm 42 years old. This is pure soul. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it..!

[gildamusica]

ele tem uma voz que reluz a emoçao

[19Dtheking]

how old was she about

[higgybaby1]

@19Dtheking 28 years old

[MsTreysongz1]

@19Dtheking she was born 1944 this was in 1972 so 72-44=28..lol

[bigred4464]

I've always said Patty, Aretha, and Gladys. My choice for first place changes every time I blink.

[krick0124]

What sets Gladys apart from the others is that she sings with all her heart.

[Sangria3]

What else can be said that she doesn't sing for herself??? She's still "Gladys The Baddest"!!! She's one of the "Great Ones"!!! Thanks for this posting.

[kidcrow18]

This women is the Epitome of style and grace. My apoligies, this Queen. I forgot to mention she can also,sing her ass off too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dannibb08]

Beautiful woman and voice....

[mightyjoe911]

I wasn't even born yet..

[thomasdalebaird]

intresting she was so womanly and without any animosity towards men. Many of her songs are real about men and women just being together no faults no blame just life Just Gladys. Peace

Oh can she dance? Never seen her do so. I know Lionel R. said he could not and said so what.

[timwalta]

daguta 100 is my man!!!!!!

[oleskool27]

You know, as men we dropped the ball as it come to handling our women. We didn't do right by them. Each time we became wealthly, we went and crossed over to find other woman. But, its nice to hear a song that sings about what use to be and what could have been. Thanks Gladys.

[oleskool27]

This song touches feelings that were lodged deep within. Gladys don't go there! lol

[95PercntDeprogrammed]

I'll make you my woman Glady's with that angelic voice... damn Glady's is beautiful

[DAGUTTA100]

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!! THIS IS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT! BACC WHEN SISTAS USED TO MAKE SONGS BOUT LOVIN BROTHAS! NOW, BEYONCE AN KEISHA COLE AN THEIR WACC ASS GENERATION OF SINGERS AINT MAKIN NUTTIN BUT MAN BASHIN SONGS, CAN YOU PAY MY BILLS, AN YOU HURT ME!! BITCH SO WHAT YOU RICH, TAKE YO BROKEN HEARTED ASS ON A TRIP AN DO LIKE STELLA, AN GET YA FUCCIN GROOVE BACC!!

[stucktoit909]

There is enough room on this planet and in this universe for both these very talented women (Gladys and Aretha, Aretha and Gladys).

[timwalta]

diana ross ? who's that???

[hah13]

Diana Ross? not even in the same category

[dinograv64]

Diana Ross was on Oprha, she can not sing anymore. Gladys is the best

[robirob12000]

Gladys doesn't get he accliam she deserves.

[TheSocratease]

My favorite. Thank you for posting this one. i can still remember gladys on ted mack's show. :-) love me some gladys and those pips.

[dana7298]

Gladys is a stand alone. Just like MJ. Just like Elvis. She didn't achieve the stardom that they did, but nobody will ever sound like this again.

[missfrog47]

Glady's; is and will forever be my favorite female singer; there is none better than GLADYS!!!!!!!!

[lovelybunnyvideos123]

she was so beautifu..still is.!!!!

[MJsKCBabyMa]

I have never heard this song by Gladys before and it it gave me chills listening to it. This woman has always been a favorite of mine and this performance confirms why. Man I love old school music. Gladys is, hands down, in that class of "the best, of the best" gotta love that woman.

[bigred4464]

All of you guys debating between Gladys, Aretha, and Patti, have to realize that all three are legends! They're the best of the best. It's like in basketball debating over who the all time greatest NBA player is. My era says Michael Jordan. But some say Elgin Baylor or Oscar Robertson. It depends on your era, but all three are great..!!

[Sangria3]

This is one their best songs!!! Almost forgot about this one... Thanks so much for posting this one. Had the pleasure of seeing Gladys and the Pips perform so many times in the Saenger in New Orleans years ago. Thanks again...

[cocoaflowa]

The ending is the best.. i love how she gets all soulful on the end.. i felt like i was back in church for a second!

[MultiplicityMe]

Empress!!!!!!

[biy1717]

Her voice just fills a part of me up that I didn't even know was empty till I hear her sing. Thanks so much for posting. Going to get a CD tonight.

[edmundworthy]

Nothing on earth reduces me to jelly like Gladys on this song. I surrender.

[revdavidahill]

Of course no one's voice is as high as it once was.....but Gladys has maintained the full body, power, and soul it did way back then...............this is some real music!!!!! Please post more..........thanks!!!!!

[kokede]

Noticed at 2:24 that gladys has got a beautifully rounded, high forehead. The Chinese term such people with high foreheads as 'destined for success and prosperity.' and in gladys' case, i think her life has truly been one. What an incredible blessing her voice has been to all who love her music.

[royhaworth]

Such a great song! Thanks for posting it!

[edmundworthy]

If you have only one soul record, have this.

[Yemimah7]

yes! soo so sweet. thnx

[msjaguar68]

I don't care how old you, if you are in relationship that's not going your way, you can relate.. and the men can also. listen to the pips..lol

[stavlaft]

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY BOY

[sheila2522]

Good job

[melphisto45]

She has a style, in every her lived concert you will see an emotion turbo engine that drive into soulful.The greatest interest of particulars is her lovely smile.

[edmundworthy]

Gladys still reduces me to jelly after forty years

[Kaelacobb08]

dat girl got a head full of hair!! =)

so adorable!

[Avalita07]

aw strong voice from a cute lil baby face

[frizbuz]

Gladys get's the crown of all time (her voice can bring me to tears)... in my opinion

[brotherminister1930]

Only one Gladys and I will always love her.

[bigred4464]

Just so y'all kow, it's Aretha, Patty, then Gladys. That's the pecking order. They are the top r&b female soul singers of all time. Whitney, Alicia, and Mary J will have to wait a little longer for that type of recognition... Peace!

[Unbreakable0]

they're the generation after those 3. They're the best of this time though. But yeah aretha , patty and gladys were the first man. love

[kives1985]

Don't know about that.

I like Ann Peebles.

[texasmusk]

You best put Gladys at number one, Patty screams, Gladys sings. I don't know who called Aretha the queen of soul, she can sing, but not like Gladys. Gladys has always been my favorite, I feel Gladys.

[jous1rufn]

@texasmusk For Sure!! Aretha can sing..But.she lacks the sweetness in her tone..Gladys is Queen!!

[Sadenyra]

Gladys Knight is in a class of her own....

[gildamusica]

eu fico muito contente por saber que ela esttá viva e mostrar a sua b bela voz, eu adimiro muito Gladys Knigth, milhões de beijos pra ela

[PatsBooks]

So beautiful!

[cocobrowns]

She is such a classy lady. I love her voice.

[mixedgrill]

Still one of my ALL TIME Faves !!! I just luv this track !!!!!!!!

[djovial]

whats a track? haha just kidding!!!!

[jous1rufn]

She's pure truth..

[xpatinamillerx]

Gladys is soooooo b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l and t-a-l-e-n-t-e-d.

[clarktransfer]

give it to me gladys!!!!!!! lol love you, so much respect!

[quethetee]

I love me some Glady's. Everyone always mentions Aretha, but Glady's is right up there.

She was so young with this rich, soulful voice. Mature beyond her years.

No match, no equal. And she was a cute little thing back then too.

[texasmusk]

Gladys Knight can out sing Aretha, she the real Queen of Soul, Aretha voice aint like this. Gladys the baddest!

[calwaite]

@quethetee Aretha WISHES she could sing as well as Gladys!!

[greene48]

I forgot what a power house Gladys is, this song is awesome!

[espoo121]

WOW! :-O

[higgybaby1]

OK you win Empress Gladys!!!

[gildamusica]

EU QUERO DIZER QUE SOU EVANGÉLICO E QUERO TAMBÉM TER ESTA OPORTUNIDADE DE PERGUNTAR PRA VOCÊ gLADYS, AI ONDE VOCÊ MORA TEM UMA IGREJA QUE GOSTE DE PARTICIPAR

[SoNasty58]

why don't you try America's first language english unless you only want to relate to your culture

[hmsheppard]

Pass the collection plate! Preach, Gladys, preach!

[SoNasty58]

so after 21 years you had to have more than one woman i think you were a dog and you know if you don't tie them up they will run and fuck anything with a dress on maybe you should stop drinking and sober up

[SoNasty58]

this song reminds me of my x when you're young everday is a new sensation and one day you wake up and have spent most of your life loving some one who has to play more than a child

[edmundworthy]

If you only posess one Soul record, this is the one. Devastating.

[gildamusica]

eu vou tentar ver esta música hoje, porque naquela vez não consegui

[gildamusica]

a minha conecção é lenta, mas vou tentar mais uma vez ver ests música

eu gosto da músicas lentas e romanticas

[THESILENTBOATMAN]

[aumicamfa]

[sexymama1966]

[mixedgrill]

Finest Female Vocalist on the Planet !!! ( by a mile )

[wawanany]

wow dreamy

[higgybaby1]

This woman can saaaang!!!

Kevin Higgins' woman

[Sheikalicious]

Indeed, czahnie...

HOLY GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!

The thing that I love the most is to fall again and again in love with music. This lady and Dionne Warwick and Luther Vandross have made me feel it down my spine. Thanks for the light in times of twilight, my friends! LOVE YOU TO THE END... and keep a little room for me in your cloud in Heaven. :)

[wemisu]

i'm going through something right now but i know i will be ok

[sonjaxfactor]

wonderful taste in music.

[jody808]

they were sooo big during this year, good to see

[mahoward82]

This woman is SO UNDERRATED!!!! Diana Ross has NOTHING on her velvet voice. She has so much control over her vocals.

[mastertung7]

diana cannot be mentioned along with her ,diana was maDE TO SING UNDETR A NOTION,THIS WOMAN HERE WAS born TO SING, THE BEST IN THE USA, BEST SOUL singer female worlwide imop.

[jous1rufn]

I love Gladys!!! She's my "QUEEN" of Soul...

[czahnie]

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY BOY!!!!!

[useverlastin]

This woman has so much soul in her voice. You can feel each note in your heart. Tom Joyner's woman (LOL)

[wicklahgirl]

omg i love this song so much. No one sings like Gladys.

[LOVABLELUTHER]

shes been a eater for years

[johnnysenser]

Great. What an ending too !

[stavlaft]

sometimes she sounded like MJ when was little..

[stavlaft]

dis why i lub utub ;b

[dusroots]

I luv Aretha, but Gladys's voice has more soul. I can't take away Aretha's title as the Queen, but I think there should be 2 Queens of Soul!

[ojaiojaix2]

Either one has my soul. Both.. I'm a gonner with a smile.

[dusroots]

lol I agree...they both have equal soul, so i take back part of my previous comment, but they both should still be crowned the QUEENS of Soul?

[BLAKPEARL69]

oooh you hear her at the end? some people had to give it up. she sang that. she is underrated like so many today are. you have some women that can really sang like her and are over looked for these soft voiced half pretty girls. they couldn't hold a candle to real vocalist they sell c.d.'s souly because of their looks. so sad.

[anc2003]

I SO AGREE WITH YOU.....I have been saying this when I heard her on an awards show. I just couldn't believe she has not been talked about as much as others...all her songs are HITS! Im young and I absolutely love it!

[BesosToAll]

She gives me goosebumps!

[SongsMikelikes]

Gladys you a bad girl, sing it.bought their double cd gold and this was the first time I heard this song. I'm Damn near 50 and thought I knew all of their songs. This one is awesome, heartfelt and a sleeper. Ill say it again, GLADYS IS A BAD GIRL, SING IT!!!!

[mixedgrill]

For me, Glady's was and still is the Greatest female vocalist on the planet !!!

[footballfan7]

I agree. Her sound is so pure...brilliant. I wish there were more singers like her. Especially in the younger generation. They all feel the need to do those horrible Mariah Carey riffs. Where's the singing? Love Gladys.

[holdencaustic]

Gladys is a goddess-- one of the most recognizable voices and styles in r&b history-

period.

[puppyreverser]

she was very young when she sung this song

[czahnie]

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY BOY!!!! Preach it girl!

[SistaQueen88]

that's all i'm tryna say. make me the woman u come home to! somebody, please. i don't wanna be lonely. just kidding, but seriously. LOL!

[SOLOMONDAYLE]

This has got to be one of the most underated singers that i have ever seen...would listen to her over aretha or patti anyday.....to me she is right up there with whitney houston

[anc2003]

I so agree with you...I think this will be a xmas gift request for me....she is awesome....Someone please make a movie!

[texasmusk]

I don't know why Gladys is so underated, maybe because she sings with her brother and cousin. But Gladys is the best female singer of all time, Aretha can't out sing Gladys, she the real Queen of soul.

[CharlieBo313]

@SOLOMONDAYLE She' way above Whiney Houston talent wise....are you crazy?

[SOLOMONDAYLE]

@CharlieBo313 ....I hear u....Its just that both Gladys and Whitney touch my soul...I realy dont know who is better...But i will say this....whitney has declined..where gladys has maintained.....yanno.......in voice that is.....

[beechie55]

pinch me somebody have mercy...

[dendoendebadankan]

This is so f*****g incredibly good. Pardon my French.

[adnara78]

Gladys just sings. She looks like a teenager. I love this clip.

[teikab]

she did look kinda young 4 her age at that time...maybe thats why she still looks young and sexy, good genes

[adnara78]

You are so right.

[smoothcr7]

thank you so very much 4 posting this song, i am a big Gladys fan and i ejoy all her songs and this song is a Godly beautyfull song. Again thank u so very much.

[alvatrox47]

Do you remember DREAMGIRLS???  Gladys Knight = Effie White

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!!!!

[ogshowme]

Very nice song, I wish someone would repost "Didn't You Know You'd Have To Cry Sometime."

[davebijoux]

Right on. She looks so hot with that little dress on, as well as the brilliant song . And, of course, the Goddamn Pips lookin' smooth and slick! Who the hell objected to that in the first place? Cowards.

[czahnie]

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY BOY!!!!!!

[nonchalantone]

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for posting this. Quite excellent!!! And I just recently started to listen to Gladys off the excellent Gold album that's out now. This song in particularly sticks out. Thanks again.

[LOVESOMEGLADYS]

Thank you!  I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[sandralfelder]

@LOVESOMEGLADYS She knows how a woman feels, she's loved some loves like the rest of us and she's telling the story for us who don't have a voice!
