"YOU'RE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME" EMPRESS OF SOUL GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS

[jkiene]

The first pip must have forgotten his suit...Gladys voice was amazing.. She sang with such ease...Where are these singers today? I guess every 100 years?

One night when my children were very young, I was sitting on a stoop in the Hill district of Pittsburgh. I was a single mother and I didn't have money to see the concert, but the dome was open and Gladys song this song. I looked at my children

playing and knew the 3 of them were and still is the BEST Thing that Ever Happened to me.

[skinengine]

I miss the soul and R&B on am radio I enjoyed as a kid! I absolutely love Gladys Knight and thePips! I live south of ATL,and I look foward to meeting Gladys at her restaurant, some day! She has touched so many lives.

[motownsoulboy]

come to the uk still massive here

[tylersfs]

@skinengine - How far south of ATL are you? There's the 'Chicken & Waffles' restaurant in StoneCrest out in Lithonia, but I doubt you ever catch her there. There used to be one somewhere near downtown ATL - don't know if it's still open. Wish they'd consider opening one in Arbor Place Mall, out where I live.

[rogbow69]

I think she is the best singer on the planet..I love her

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

I agree, and so do I.

[rashard418]

Indeed, she is quite The Lady!

[oneworks]

Lucy and Pat - Gladys Knight and Pips have spoken solid TRUTH. 1:14 p.m. (EST), Thursday, October 8, 2009 C.E.

[MSBINIL]

Lordy I had such a crush on Gladys in the 70's, hell I still have a crush on her.....

[daddycool2U]

This track is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Love it, beaucoup.

[bee52mitch]

A truly deep and gifted song, sung with all the feelings to make it feel that it was (us) the humble listeners who was singing it for our mate.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

Gladys' voice is soul-stirring.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[Bassingal]

I just got off the phone with my husband-he's working today and I'm at home. After I hung up the phone I started singing this song. It just popped into my head, as it has many, many times before, so I came here to listen to my favorite lady of soul sing it with me! Oh, and I emailed the link to my hubby, just to let him know how much I love him! He loves this song, too:)

[mughaleazam0]

What an emotional rendition...no one can sing with so much passion than Gladys.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

She is the best.

[Bassingal]

My hubby & I have been toghther for 25 years and THIS SONG says everything about our union! I met him in 1984; we married in 1990 and we're STILL together!!! I would give my life for my husband and he would do the same for me. When you meet your SOUL MATE you'll know, and even though you may be tempted to stray, you'll KNOW that you've met YOUR ONE AND ONLY! Life is BEAUTIFUL when you share it with your lover!

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

You highlighted STILL TOGETHER. Gladys recorded an album called Still Together. I believe it Gladys Knight & The Pips' 25th year of still being together. They also sing a song entitled The One And Only. Hmmm?; maybe they're singing to you.

Anyway, thanks for viewing and commenting.

[bdunn21]

Hmm.. this is from 1973 and you're saying they're celebrating 25 years together. The math doesn't work out. You have to be American!

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

Gladys Knight and the Pips were formed in 1953. The album "Still Together" was released in 1977, during their 25th year of recording together.

Yes, Gladys and her Pips and I are all PROUD AMERICANS!!!

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[gildamusica]

ela também canta LISENCE TO KILL que eu gosto também, pra mim é a majestade em pessoa em relação de emocionar uma pessoa através de suas canções, eu repito milhares de de veaes pra ficar ouvindo cada música que Gladys Knigth and the pipies canta pra mim é a única.

[gildamusica]

agora que to conseguindo traduzir o que tento escrever pra vocês entenderem, eu quero agradecer muitíssimo por eu ter podido reconhecer aa voz dela durante a muito tempo quando eu passei a admirá-la, eu to fazendo de tudo pra poder ouvir as músicas que eu consigo e pra mim é explendoroso ter a sua companhia jundo de mim, porque agora que eu estou com a sua voz no meu ouvido, eu quero dizer que pra mim não tem expres vozGladys Knigt and Pipies Forever in my heart.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

A sua voz é enchida da emoção. As suas canções fazem a gente sentir a emoção sobre a que ela está cantando.

[fancykatya]

You know why many people haven't touched Gladys's songs? Because you can't compete with perfection like this.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

I agree with you. Her voice is so rich and full. Most just don't have enough "oomph" in their voices to fill the space hers occupies. Also, the Pips harmonies and instrumental arrangements in their songs are impeccable. Can't be duplicated.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[fluharty123]

love it, thx Ms. Knight. :)

[kodonga]

Gladys will live forever!!

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

Amen!!!!

[theHERO292]

[classy1973]

MY SONG TO GOD.I always dedicated this song to Jesus.The lyrics are perfect for him.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

Gladys is a very religious person., and she is absolutely inspiring in this song, heavenly, one might say.

[gildamusica]
