  • PURE BLACK CLASS

  • THAT SONG MEMORY IF MY ANTEE LIZZY DIE 1994

  • If the man knew I was talking to him this way he would not know how to respond. :)

  • hey guys i love this song im 18 years old from london i will be covering this song for my college show so check out my channel for the video timeless epic record

  • @singerkchambers ok,I sure will

  • Listen people Glady''s personal life doesn't concern you just enjoy the fact that you're witnessing the best female soul singer that ever lived just enjoy her GIFT!!!

  • The Best female soul singer that ever lived right here!!!

  • I'm here for the Pips

  • This is such a special song. Thank you Gladys.

  • AND TO THE ONE'S JUDGING GLADYS KNIGHT, WHO DIE AND MADE YOU JUDGE OVER HER LIFE, SO WHAT SHE MARRIED 4 TIMES, HOW DID ANY OF HER MARRIAGES EFFECT YOUR LIVES AND AS FOLLOW AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO FOLLOW, LET THEM FOLLOW YOU YOUR THEIR PARENTS. ALSO WHAT GREAT STARDOM HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY THAT YOU SIT BACK AND JUDGE, WHAT HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED PERIOD BESIDE NEGATIVITY? GLADYS KNIGHT IN AMONG THE GREAT SINGERS & ENTERTAINERS, I DON'T SEE YOUR NAME ANYWHERE THERE!

  • wtf? Who the hell cares how many times she was married? This woman can jam her brains out, is beautiful, and the nicest lady. Who's perfect here? I don't see Jesus.

  • nothing as depressing as hearing someone singing to you 'If I were your woman' and finding out its your math teacher....and he's wearing his wife's panties....

  • If I were your woman here's what I'd do...I'd never never NEVER stop loving you. 

    I adore that voice!!!! She sings effortlessly. My favorite part of this video is when the Pip helps her back up to the top of the cake tier. That is so sweet.

  • What happened to really easy yet cool looking dance moves like that??

  • When Gladys Knight sings, time stands still.

  • 50 cent used this sample on his song strong enough in his 2009 album before i self destruct.

  • god what happened to us? was it the fems? i love men what is wrong wit u people... couldn't we further lib women and love men? I  Love men!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I only know this song from Alicia Key's cover. But boy am I glad to find the OG version. 1 000 times better! Ms Knight in her element.

  • uuuugggghhhh!! U can't beat that dance

  • Their are hoards of beautiful black women who desperately need real men , not adult males. There is a biggggggg difference. What we have is loads of fatherless males who don't want real manhood entails.

  • Well, I'm a real woman from the old school....

  • I just love to hear her sing, and the Pips were just amazingly smooth and suave...thanks for posting

  • Mike Douglas show !!!

  • amazing performance... as all of her live performances!

  • THE PIPS WERE GENTLEMEN, SHE ALMOST FELL AT 2:32 AND ON OF THEM HELPED HERE. EFFORTLESS. LOVE HER!!!

  • Beautiful Black Woman even now

  • I love this song.

  • I like your caption :.)

  • Oh snap!!! Aint nobody got nothin on Gladys!!!

  • One of the best songs ever.

  • Gladys has a smile that could light up the world!

  • For over 1 year I have been coming to this site to listen to this great artist. She is my #1 soul singer. In this great song she excells in every way. Gladys at her very best !

  • I LOVE THIS SONG IT SEEMS LIKE THE MUSIC WAS SO GOOD AND MEANINGFULL BACK THEN. MY FRIENDS CALL ME OLD FASHION CUZ I LOVE THE MUSIC FROM THAT TIME LOL

  • Classic. Gladys had one of the greatest voices ever. She and the Pips were an all time great group. Love you tube so we can visit the great music of the past. It is not done like this any more.

    TheSuperherofan1

  • grrrrrrrrrrreat voice for lovers mmmhhh , gladys , if you were my wife .

  • great song!

  • Where are the singers like this today?Not to mention the songs?

  • where are all the real women like this,and not the ones trying to run game or get somthing outta you. speaking so... what ever happened to honor in relationships lets just say regardless if gladys looks good or not it takes a real women to sing or even conjure up somthing like that..........O how time changes things(shout out to all the real women out there.

  • @drak813boy Sorry but you've chosen the wrong woman to lift up as an example. She has been married 4 times. This is hardly the example I would want my children to follow. I love her music and have many of Gladys' records but, let's keep it real. It may take, as you say, "a real woman to conjure up something like that". But in this case the real woman is no great example.. Just sayin'.....

  • Comment removed

  • @in2food And on the same note, she married three LOOSERS before she got it right. So stop bashing her about being married 4 times, Poor lady, she didn't know her destiny would involve 4 marriages, "so you say". Hooray to Gladys for not sticking around with the 3 LOOSER MARRIAGES, she had enough sense to keep moving, until she got it right..

  • @pebbles1340 Without knowing it you made my point. Why would a woman marry 3 losers(not loosers)? One mistake? two mistakes? Three mistakes? And these aren't little mistakes. They were monumental in nature. Why would anyone agree to spend the rest of her life with a loser, 3 different times? As I said, Gladys is a phenomenal singer but what the original poster said about it taking a "real woman" to sing like this... Don't put her on a pedestal.

  • @in2food atleast she had the courage to have these mens to marry her instead of just going through three boyfriends she did the right thing marriage is how it's surpose to go no jump in and out of bed with a boyfriend but a husband. Sometimes it take 3 bad mens to find a good Husband so don't be so quick to judge her.

  • she is too fine! id love to go back in time so she could be my woman. i looove her voice too.

  • SHE LOOKS LIKE KELLY ROWLAND HERE!

  • SING THAT ISH GLADYS!!!!!!!

  • I love it! A wonderful and timeless song.

    And she's still such a beautiful Lady!

  • When I was in hi school, all I wanted was a woman to love me this way. I found one, and I've been married 30 years. Thank you Gladys.

  • OMG! I never knew Gladys Knight was doin it like this! She's easily comparable Etta James!!! I'm in awe! So happy to have discovered this voice!!!

  • @achvoy Little wonder that when Gladys opened for Diana Ross and the Supremes , Ross became upset because the audiences were responding much better for Gladys. Even Berry Gordy admitted that it was a problem and ended up removing her from the tour.

  • i hope the 2 people that dislike this song didnt know how to read and they ment.. to put like.

  • You're a part of me and don't even know it

    I'm what you need but too afraid to show it.

  • these songs are great, they are from the past and you can't bring yourself back to the past and pretend to be a teenager again. Some people are still stuck at 16 and can't grow up. I have moved on, you do it too.

  • @spydereleven do you know MOTOWN music man?

  • Art is dead....

    Cherrish those who gave (and those who still TRY to give) it to us, and stop supporting these plastic robots who have danced on it's grave for far too long........

    maby then we can salvage a relevant future for our babies....

  • :31 lol The pips were snappin way before Da Franchise Boyz.

  • @AlexanderD27 lol yeah i bet dey invented the dougie too

  • Berry Gordy once said that "Diana Ross put everything into a song. lot's and lot's of emotion"

    Well he was clearly a tard. He didn't seem to notice Gladys and The Pips!

    She . . THEY put everything into a song.

    

  • @SinclairisCool For Real!! Diana couldn't carry Gladys' microphone!! I'm being nice..Lol.

  • @jous1rufn

    Please :L In a sing off Gladys would just have to give a powerful "OOOOOH" and she'd win :L :L

  • So I heard this song on the way home and sung it like i was the only one on the road

  • I bought this lp in the 70's. It's Gladys at her very best :))

    I was fortunate to see her last year in concert, Wow !!

  • 50 Cent - Strong Enough.

  • This is another soulful song by the incredible Gladys Knight. Her songs are written with some fantastic lyrics. It's very easy to relate to the message is her music. She's an awesome artist.

  • What a great ol song!!!

  • I can't believe this was forty years ago ! Just fantastic even now!

  • This song and that stale gum inside my baseball cards. Man I would share it with my girl and we would walk home from school. I still have a pack that I never opened because I never stopped loving you!!!!

  • If Gladys was my woman, I would be Da Man. I always had a crush on fer, a very beautiful, earthy, soulful Georgia Peach. I wanted to marry her, LOL

  • Classic!

  • i do not care how she sound older or younger this music still sound so good it talk me back and i was not even borning when the song first came out. but i can relate to the words.

  • I would have to rate her as one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

  • these globes with gladys are awesome what is this from?

  • @19Chuck80 The Andy Williams Show

  • Gladys baby, if only you WERE my woman. Wow.

  • i love Gladys but poor pips who have to sway along the music!

  • my baby gladys was so sexy back then.

  • Man...iwas a skinny little 10 yr old white kid, and when I saw her sing this...I was in love!! ..and damn, did i ever want to be a Pip...go 'head Gladys...

  • I don't tire of coming to this site just to listen to Gladys sing this awsome song.

    Her voice is so beautiful.

    She is also a beutiful lady, especially in the other video in this site ; the one, when she appeared first at the Ed Sullivan Show.

    I could fall in love with her..

    I really like to watch her and te PIPS.

    They complement each other.

    The lyrics of this song and her firm yet "soulful" way of singing must make a man who has a woman like that feel like a real Man.

    I love Gladys.

  • not she first appeared on the Ted Macks Amateur show when she was a child. check your history baby

  • this song says it all...

  • This Pips are awesome...

  • unnecessary live fades angry do me make.

  • Gladys AND The Pips...what a Class Act !

    This lady is superb. The Pips have style.

    This song in particular drives me to emotions. It is so full of "soul".

  • Gladys oh my what a gift from above

  • What a class act! Gladys, baby... you are my woman forever! There will never be anyone like you. As for the so called "divas of today" if I ever make enough money I will hire you all as maids

    and beauty consultants. Yes I'm talking Mariah, Whitney, Celine and the rest of the wanna be's.

  • i would fall off my chair if a white girl wrote

    a song this good (not to criticize, but)..women are so materialistic they dont even know how to talk to men these days..

  • Such Class!!!

  • What a kick ass tune!!! Gladys ripped it up!!

  • One of my favoirte songs of all times!

  • Best female voice today .... technically is probably Mariah Carey, but she'll never match this level of emotion. Gladys is amazing.

  • deep...today's women dont sing like this (not being racist against white women but not the white ones anyway)..

  • @Canaboy12

    I'm white, and that didn't offend me. White men and women just can't sing like Black men and women can. take for example: Katy Perry. She's a good singer in her own right. But if I'm looking for emotion, REAL raw emotion, like it's happening in front of me, i turn to Gladys. She picks me up and makes me smile.

  • this is the music i grew up on and i never outgrew. my gawd, so moving!!!!!! r&b forever.

  • Beautiful, Gladys her will love for ever.

  • Gladys, oh man that vioce complete soul, beautiful you and Aretha goddesses.

    So many these days try and capture that essence and so many fail. Just dont have it in them, Ill give Kudos to Anita Baker and Oleta Adams, they are awesome...whitney can suck an egg and Mariah Carey need a big cork for her mouth.

  • People..some of you all need to leave the words Nigga & Nigger out of your vocabulary for good. You don't hear God or Jesus saying that in the bible. These words are so sickning and disrespectful!

  • Gladys Knight is so hot that you could fry an egg on my forehead when I'm watching this song.

  • I can't put in words the soulfulness of this song. I wanna close my eyes and enjoy the vocals. But I can't because the Pips are doin their thang. Awesome!!

  • don t miss the incredible fantasia vh1 reality show "fantasia for real" that airs on vh1 jan11 don t miss

  • This girl is one of a kind! A voice and a soul extraordinaire! They were magical!

  • Man She kills this shit..I always wish i was born then when you could feel the music. Man she kills dis shit and the pips...they are perfect complement

  • She's truly deserving of the title 'Empress of Soul'!

  • you go girl love her to death.

  • almost trips at 2:33. separated at birth with football coach Dennis Green.

  • I love me some Gladys she sings from the heart with so much soul. It's a shame that her song "License to Kill" didn't win for the best Bond 007 song. Out of all the Bond songs I've heard Gladys "License to Kill " was the best !

  • "These niggas ain't strong enough"..lol

  • Love this song but the pips crack me up.

  • 50cent cent sampled this beat for strong enough on before i self destruct check it out very hot

  • Wonderful! My spirit flies

  • she tears you down!!

  • but i pick you up!

  • Comment removed

  • she is the cutest and best singer ever!!!!

  • @veganswines She is not cute, she is beautiful. And the ever loving Pips.......they let it all hang on this sone.

  • FABULOUS. Gladys Knight looks so pretty and sounds wonderful.

  • back when love ment something and you treated a women better than some do today music of today is about hate what ever happend to the u.s.a. I use to no as a kid growing up a new car and songs was a big thing we have cut back everything fun r.i.p. to the old days but at least i can hear a song and remember the good times glady's take me back

  • And she still sings great. I always liked her voice better than Aretha's though of course Aretha's is great too.

  • God take me back, pleeease, my generation is sooo worthless, I'm not supposed to be here.

  • you dont want to go to those times... they were rough ... segregation and racism at a magnitude you wouldn't see in your nightmares, definitely different times... change the present to make your future better ... it begins with one voice, one step forward, and one day at a time

    lots of love

  • very well said, but in all actuality, believe it or not, even with all the blatant racism our parents dealt with, their time was BY FAR a more stable and safe world than what we live in. Its more systematic and concealed than it use do be but far more dangerous now than then. Our complete family structure has deteriorated, no structure, women like Gladys Knight is who she is because of who we were back then, now were lost, I hate it for those coming up under my generation, lord help them.

  • When this masterpiece hit #1, it was 38 years to the very week B4 Obama's Inauguration. Seems more individuals were actually engaged in risky street battles and risky non-violent 'battles-for-the-mind&soul' in 1971 than there are in 2009 when the most people are willing to risk 'For Change' is simply voting one day in a November.

    1971 was "What's Going On", was 1 year in a long struggle for change that produced lasting results.

    We'll see what 2008 delivers that stands the test of time.

  • Yeah I wish we had the music back and that attitude towards our people,but you right o0oSWANo0o,A whiteman could kick yo ass man back thing and nobody even cared.

  • What are you talking about???? A whtman hawked and spit on my uncle at a gas station, If you don't think my uncle didn't give that whtman a beat down. You better think again. Real blackfolks don't take no shit period, regardless of the error.....

  • what Im talking about is that nothing happened to that dude that did it,The black man knew he could have been lynched.for fighting back .I think you dont know what your talking about,If black people did not take shit regardless of the error,WHAT THE HELLWAS SLAVERY.

  • Slaver was a bad dream. Blacks have been fighting every since they placed them on the slave-boats. Remember the Amstead. Why do you think the Statue Of Liberty is sitting in the New York harbor. It's true meaning has nothing to do with so called Imagrents and everything to do with the blackman breaking the chains of slavery.

  • A BAD DREAM!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

    THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

    Look shat the hell up lol,cause i see where this going....NO WHERE.

  • Google the book "Statue Of Liberty" by Marvin Trackenberg. I was only playing with you about slavery. It was a event we could have avoided if only the so called Muslim Moors hadn't sold us out along with other Moors who saw themselves other then African.

  • I feel like you are a sincere brother,so I'll share something with you,I am a hebrew israelite,Now what you was talking about has some truth,But we are not AFRICAN,But I hope you can receive this cause you seem like your sincere

  • you must be special needs like imagrents really?

  • What are you talking about? My comment wasn't to you so whats your problem? Are you that straved for attention?

  • @citizen6cyx God please stop and pick me up too, we have so many no class, no talent musicians these days and back in those days talent was everywhere. There are no singers like this great lady these days. We gotta a lot of ladies showing their booty instead of showing any talent.

  • @citizen6cyx me tooo I was born way to late

  • Do just a little background checking and see what the old school singers stood for and what these modern singers stand for then you decide which ones would you rather your children look up to.

  • you cant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • kill't alcia...alcia needs to find her own direction, all the fuckin remakes!!!! how can you top glady's on her track!

  • 'Nothing out there has any real creativity'

    That's bullshit and we all know it.
