I never get tired of hearing this song. Now that is how to sing a song. This woman is in a class of her own. Considering the orchestra are not in tune with her! Excellent performance. Well worth 7 grammy awards.
This song is just raw and has no respect of societal barriers. I mean - who hasn't been there? and if you haven't, (like my auntie used to say} "chile just keep livin" TIMELESS!
i may be getting older but i will always consider myself lucky enough to have grown up with songs like this. Songs like this can never be replaced by the songs of today. These are forever priceless.
Despite the process Sista' Glady's is wearing, it has so much body and fullness, she appears to look so healthy. In 1973 fast food and genetic engineered food wasn't at a all time high as it is now. They ate mostly natural cooked food back then and still recieved better health results than we do, today. Mother Nature is the way to good health.
This has to go down as one of the most outstanding live performances EVER.......I could listen to this over and over .Todays so called artists should hang their heads in shame.
One of the greatest soul ballads sung by my favorite R & B singer. Just honest, raw emotion with a heartfelt delivery. She doesn't have to over emote like so many of today's singers, choosing understatement and dynamics to create a legendary performance.
love it!! why arent singers of today like this abit more...shes fully covered and still looks amazing and sounds like she was meant to be on that stage...
@satori802 -same here brah.these music lovers of today think we're old and every era has their great artist or we're living in the past and need to move on,but that's not why we bash 95% of today's garbage.It's because of what you & i said above. SOUL-LESS,PASSIONLESS,NO TRUE MEANING,& PURELY ALL ABOUT THE MONEY,FUCK TALENT. You,I, & many others know who's behind this madness.Brah not only in the music,but in the real world also,i agree.GREED,POWER,CONTROL,SUPPRESSION, & DESTRUCTION .
God bless you Gladys Knight for being in touch with your spirit. This is such a beautiful song and it's so painful too. I'm so happy that I'm not in a relationship that is not going anywhere. Yes, it's so hard to break up with someone who you care for, but you know the relationship is not going to work. It's painful to let go, but it's necessary to find peace. Love the Pips as well. Peace.
This is just my opinion.....but i must say that Black Soul Music is THE MOST POWERFUL of all types of music. I love of kinds of music but i must be honest and say that this type of music is just untouchable to me. This kind of music gets all down inside of you....it really ministers to your soul like no other kind of music can.
When this song came out I thought the relationship I was in, was my whole world. I could not hear this song on the radio without crying cause we broke up and he was going off to college. I survived!
if u take a song, and close your eyes, and your heart beat faster, and your eyes water because u can picture it in your heart, it dont matter about the ass, the dick, the bling? thats what real music do!!

@str8outtatexas1 To be fair, there is plenty of contemporary soul out there for those who want it- Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse, and groups like the Dap King, The Roots, Soulive, and Lettuce. You just have to want to hear it, and it's everywhere.
@emmaleahmusic I've heard some of the acts you name here and I must say that they simply can't begin to come close to this brilliance. Saw Amy Whinehouse in London six years ago and wondered what the hype on her was all about. Horrific performance. It must be said that what passes for "R&B" today, excluding Jon Legend, is fantasticly bad. It's as if they never paid attention to who came before them.
Man, back then you could find a song to fit every emotional life situation that you could experience. Today I have to keep playing the song over just to figure out what they are saying and even when I understand the language the song still doesnt make since.
Gladys Knight was the kind of artist who intimidates other accomplished artists, like when Smokey Robinson heard her demo of "tracks of my tears" and didn't want to record the song after hearing it, it was TOO GOOD ... or when Diana Ross made Berry Gordy replace GKATP's as the Supremes opening act on the road, because they were TOO GOOD

As a female singer that LOVES to sing this kind of song, I wish people today would take the time to listen to meaningful music like this! Good music is out there...but people have to be willing to LISTEN...that means put the cellphones down, stop fidgeting, listen to the music, and let the emotions flow.
at 44 yrs. old i'm still wondering how did music like this turn into singing about your ass,dick,money,clubs,strip clubs,bling,cars & other senseless,repetitive,no creative,no substance bullshit? i've noticed that artist today DON'T have the voices,passion,love, & soul as the artist in the 60's,70's,80's,early 90's.today they don't have to put in the hard work like they did back then.if you don't have a great body,big ass, or a raunchy mouth, you're not gonna make it in todays industry.it's sad
@str8outtatexas1 I'm 50 and agree with every word you said. So sad! Live in Rio. Here things are not different. My 15y.o. son can only listen to rap and funk or worse BS. Believe me, there is worse. I gave up all hope. Just let it be.
@str8outtatexas1 Good question. I'm an old guy. Heard all of these tunes and more from as early as 1956. Music isn't music anymore. That's all I got to say.
@str8outtatexas1 This is realy music......expressing with real feelings. A kind of music made for sensitive and people with principles. People that has values can appreciate this. Musics these days certainly do not express their music the way it was written like during the 60's and the 70's. Poetry.
@str8outtatexas1 It is sad. If kids wanted to hear somebody fart on a record, the industry would promote it and the radio stations would play it, just to make money.
@IndiBoo002 I have nothing against either of those ladies; but they've never made me cry when I hear them sing. Gladys is among the only ones who can take me there.
@str8outtatexas1 I'm wondering the same thing too. Those that control the music industry have one thing in mind and that is to corrupt this generation to the point that the will no longer know whats was once good.
always had an open mind..but im getting sick of todays sexed up melodicLESS drone...this is soo subtle..so perfect. The classicmusic of the pop era..up there with coltrane, beethoven, mozart bach etc
@str8outtatexas1 Preach !! So true and yet so so sad. The Oh Mighty Dollar and social decline has redirected the would be talents of true artistry. Its sad where we are. How do we get back to feel good, uplifting, creative, great music? Artistry expressed and appreciated as shown here with a stellar performance by a Lady with immeasurable talent, poise and delivery.
@theslabbxxx Stop buying the crap that they give us. Start throwing listening parties, so the youth can partake in feel good music of yesteryear, instead of the musical poison that radio and record companies like to push so they can sell more products and make people feel inferior.
I had the pleasure of seeing them in a small theater in the round in 1982, we had second row seats. She stood 15 feet away from me singing this, I had chills through the whole song. Such an amazing voice!
She is clearly one of the greatest and most unique singers in the history of recorded music. And lucky for all of us, her voice is still pristine, intact, soulful, perfect. How many singers can you say that about? They all lose something.....Gladys has lost nothing!! Long live The Empress of Soul!
Gladys' beautiful voice with it's near perfect pitch, depth, rhythm and timing along with those deep swells she effortlessly belts out is what sets her apart from all other divas... IMHO she is a national treasure and we've been blessed by her presence. All those who agree... say "I".
yepyep did anybody in da thouse got the imaginaion album from 1973 pressed in vinyl? this song is definately smooth sleek superb.today i enyoed myself to find out that the white can sing this gorgeous ballad too.HA!
Check out Jim Weatherly - All-American quarterback turned singer-songwriter who wrote and recorded many of Gladys Knights biggest hits, Midnight Train, Neither One Of Us, Best Thing That Ever Happened, The Need To Be etc
que raridade,só me da mais saudades daqueles baile maravilhosos que eu curtia,como makenzie,disco voador,gremio de rocha miranda entre outros,saudades.
Gladys Night was, is, and will remain the best female performer of all times. she managed to keep a perfect reputation through her entire career. She's not just a great performer, she's also a "lady" in every sense of the word. She remains as beautiful as can be. No one could ever wear your shoes, Gladys...
Like most people, I've had some bad breakups and some terrible ones. This song always seems to haunt me. There were definately times when we both should have said goodbye and started the healing process long before we did.
There's not a modern day singer out there today that can match Gladys Knight's voice.

I cannot get enough of this clip. Gladys Knight is a diamond! She shines bright with her immense talent, and showmanship. Her emotions and actions authentically match the song she is singing. The Pips augment the song in form and fashion; they are not taking anything away from the performance at all. What a great performance!
Memo que o tema seja separação ou Quem de nós sera o primeiro a dizer "Adeus....." A canção é impar na interpretação da "Deusa do Black Soul Music"....showwwww esse por ser original dos 1970......lembro que sempre encontramos nos vinis de tele-novelas alguma canção da Magnífica Gladys Knight.... & the Pips ...vídeo histórico ....parabéns a voce que postou essa raridade.....abraços.....byebye
This song simply touches something inside of you - in a very profound way. Some consider it to be a "break-up" song, but in a very enigmatic way, it makes you want to recapture and cling to the love that brought you together. Only Gladys could have pulled this off in such a way. Wow, her voice give me goose-bumps . . . .
I think this is my favorite singer, song, lyrics, clip, and performance I have ever seen...EVER....what a Goddess...both in looks, expression and voice...truly the "Goddess of Soul in my view...pure joy listening and watching...
Beautiful, Bravo BRAVO Gladys... your singing resonates far more powerful emotions beyond the mear words you utter. I'd call you a National Treasure but that would be an injustice for you're a gift to people far & wide and maybe even beyond. Your voice far exceeds any measure as it has such a strong positive emotional effect on people unlike this cold world, yours is love. You're an emotional mecca... a very special lady, a gift to this unforgiving world.... God's Blessed You & in return Us.

Gladys Knight is an Incredible Talent.... Her voice, her emotion and intonation are unmistakable in a song such as this one and "You are the best thing that ever happened to Me"... her voice combined with the music and lyrics can't help but put a in your eye...
love, love Gladys Knight - and The Pips - oh my goodness - hold me back!

@IndiBoo002 I have nothing against either of those ladies; but they've never made me cry when I hear them sing. Gladys is among the only ones who can take me there.

@str8outtatexas1 I'm wondering the same thing too. Those that control the music industry have one thing in mind and that is to corrupt this generation to the point that the will no longer know whats was once good.

@str8outtatexas1 Preach !! So true and yet so so sad. The Oh Mighty Dollar and social decline has redirected the would be talents of true artistry. Its sad where we are. How do we get back to feel good, uplifting, creative, great music? Artistry expressed and appreciated as shown here with a stellar performance by a Lady with immeasurable talent, poise and delivery.

@theslabbxxx Stop buying the crap that they give us. Start throwing listening parties, so the youth can partake in feel good music of yesteryear, instead of the musical poison that radio and record companies like to push so they can sell more products and make people feel inferior.

I had the pleasure of seeing them in a small theater in the round in 1982, we had second row seats. She stood 15 feet away from me singing this, I had chills through the whole song. Such an amazing voice!

She is clearly one of the greatest and most unique singers in the history of recorded music. And lucky for all of us, her voice is still pristine, intact, soulful, perfect. How many singers can you say that about? They all lose something.....Gladys has lost nothing!! Long live The Empress of Soul!

Gladys' beautiful voice with it's near perfect pitch, depth, rhythm and timing along with those deep swells she effortlessly belts out is what sets her apart from all other divas... IMHO she is a national treasure and we've been blessed by her presence. All those who agree... say "I".

Gladys Night was, is, and will remain the best female performer of all times. she managed to keep a perfect reputation through her entire career. She's not just a great performer, she's also a "lady" in every sense of the word. She remains as beautiful as can be. No one could ever wear your shoes, Gladys...

Like most people, I've had some bad breakups and some terrible ones. This song always seems to haunt me. There were definately times when we both should have said goodbye and started the healing process long before we did.
There's not a modern day singer out there today that can match Gladys Knight's voice.

I cannot get enough of this clip. Gladys Knight is a diamond! She shines bright with her immense talent, and showmanship. Her emotions and actions authentically match the song she is singing. The Pips augment the song in form and fashion; they are not taking anything away from the performance at all. What a great performance!

Memo que o tema seja separação ou Quem de nós sera o primeiro a dizer "Adeus....." A canção é impar na interpretação da "Deusa do Black Soul Music"....showwwww esse por ser original dos 1970......lembro que sempre encontramos nos vinis de tele-novelas alguma canção da Magnífica Gladys Knight.... & the Pips ...vídeo histórico ....parabéns a voce que postou essa raridade.....abraços.....byebye

This song simply touches something inside of you - in a very profound way. Some consider it to be a "break-up" song, but in a very enigmatic way, it makes you want to recapture and cling to the love that brought you together. Only Gladys could have pulled this off in such a way. Wow, her voice give me goose-bumps . . . .

Beautiful, Bravo BRAVO Gladys... your singing resonates far more powerful emotions beyond the mear words you utter. I'd call you a National Treasure but that would be an injustice for you're a gift to people far & wide and maybe even beyond. Your voice far exceeds any measure as it has such a strong positive emotional effect on people unlike this cold world, yours is love. You're an emotional mecca... a very special lady, a gift to this unforgiving world.... God's Blessed You & in return Us.

Gladys Knight is an Incredible Talent.... Her voice, her emotion and intonation are unmistakable in a song such as this one and "You are the best thing that ever happened to Me"... her voice combined with the music and lyrics can't help but put a in your eye...
