GLADYS KNIGHT & BB KING "PLEASE SEND ME SOMEBODY TO LOVE"

[baxterandy1]

Aretha is nothing in comparison

[andyrattle]

This is my favourite musical performance of all tme. I have it on VHS but at last someone has put it on youtube for all to enjoy. Completely effortless, Gladys Knight the greatest Female voice ever and BBKing sublime, masterful and completely judged to add to the song rather than show off as so many other guitarists would. XFactor warblers watch and learn.

[johnhguitar]

I have a few all-time favorite performances I've come across on youtube and this would rank way up there. Gladys Knight is one of the greatest all-round singers. Just think if blues were the most popular medium on the radio. She would come in at #1.

[ckit4u]

now begins your singing lesson peeps

[allguitarscnc]

right on! I dig it

[craigfromnewcastle]

I was also lucky enough to meet Mr BB King, and he was such a gentleman, I'll never forget it, he stood up to greet my Mother :D

[craigfromnewcastle]

I was lucky enough to see her in Newcastle England - and David Peaston was supporting!

Wow man.

She - was - wonderful.

[womanmad]

love her man

[bjay59]

This is just a display of  the versatility of Ms. Gladys Knight and her talented voice. I repeat what they all say about her." Gladys, you're the baddest".

[theOTGband]

awesome song, I had the pleasure of playing this one with a band back in the early 1990's

[higgybaby1]

SANG! GURL! THE EMPRESS OF SOUL GLADYS KNIGHT at one of her greatest moments.

[jostyjoy]

[twitards247]

Wow, this one was the bomb, Gladys was tearin' it up significantly, B.B. was feeling it too!

Percy Mayfield. RIP

[kmayfiel]

@cksumbuddy Yeah, he's my Grandfather, passed when I was 11 in August.

[cksumbuddy]

@kmayfiel I love him. I'm keeping him alive and play him as often as I can...."If it's not asking too much, God please send us".... another Percy Mayfield.

[johnhguitar]

I just get teary-eyed every time I watch this. We know what a great singer she is but when does she ever do a blues tune like this? WOW! None better.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

@johnhguitar I agree. Thank you for viewing and commenting.

[TennisGuyFL]

Like BB said "Ms. Gladys Knight - nobody does it better." Amen, BB. Nobody does it better.

[mctribble]

Just look at the way she takes on this ending.. and like BB says - Nobody does it better - just awsome.

[higgybaby1]

The King of the Blues and the Empress of Soul does it again. Stellar performance. Chills.

Gladys sangs this song.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

It is just so effortless with Gladys. The voice is just a God-given gift to the world.

[rbfanforlife]

This song, as performed by Kevin Mahogany, got me hooked on blues music, but Gladys Knight is showing a different side of her talent here... this was yet another awesome performance! Thanks for posting!!

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[hicadencesprint]

BB is cool with just backing and throwing a lick in here and there.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

BB's a master too. He knows how to sing with and not in competition with other masters.

[higgybaby1]

I love this performance, she really belts this one out.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

And the scary thing is Gladys's voice is so rich and full she doesn't have to sing "hard" or "belt" to get the same effect other singers have to sing "hard" or "belt" to get.

[higgybaby1]

Sho' U right!

[phronie125]

OMG..........thanks for posting this. It just blows me away.

[dra432889]

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

Your comments are very generous. Thank you.

[jamersonshook]

The understanding of the song, the dynamics, the power, the control quarter tone bends, the grace, the signature licks, the ending.

The best.

[EMPRESSGLADYS]

She sure does.
