This song always makes me cry, because it reminds me of a soul brother, Jacky( die Hond) Jooste, in Cape Town, South Africa. Only Gladys can do justice to this here song. I am thankful to have grown up with this music. Andre MaQubu, South Africa
I love it how the audience is in tune, unlike most white concerts, where it all sounds like incoherent nonsense. I'm white and even I can see that. This is amazing.
She's one of my all time favorate singers! She's the only one that can do so much with little range and it's mainly beause she puts so much soul and emotion in every single note! She's a legend and rightfully so!
@slimsxyblkwoman 'Little range'? Laughable just because Gladys has an alto voice doesn't mean she has little range at all she has a 'Husky' voice Gladys hts full notes better than anyone with power and range like none other You would be hard pressed to find another singer that can hit the notes like Gladys trust me she has extraodinary range from deep husky notes to a pure pitch perfect high alto soprano for instance Whitney Houston could never sing Glady's songs even in her prime.
@InfinityNebula You took what I said out of context. What I said she has little range- I am talking about octaves. Gladys cannot go from below middle C and hit 5 octave saprano ranges from there (many associate hitting low and higher octave ranges as powerful singers). Although that maybe - she manages to do a lot with what she has because she has massive range in dept and soul. That's my point - I am by no means dissing her. I am giving her props!
@slimsxyblkwoman Bottom line here is this-Gladys has the best soul voice of all time for a female Aretha Can't touch Gladys even in her prime trust and believe Gladys has much more range than you give her credit for check her early performances of If I were Your Woman and others. Don't let her husky heavy alto fool you Aretha nor Whitney could ever sing any of Glady's songs
@TheSinger1004 aHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHIKKIKIKIKIKI you stupid. I laughed some when I saw that. Maybe she was taking the Midnight Voltswagon Beetle to Georgia.
like i have always said out of all her peers, she is the only one where her voice has remained in tack strong if not stonger then it was in the start. hence look at Pattie Labelle she was and is awsome but she has lost some her voice which she is big for but not Empress of soul. and it is so sad we have this so called stars and celebs. this is real
0:30 the lady in the pink just KNEW Gladys was talking to her when she said "Come on Pips"

OMFG !!!! I was there in the Audience !!! in Bermuda Sinbad soul festival !!!!
Gladys came out last and every one in the Audience kept saying where's Gladys.
They made it like the show was coming to the END. And we all were disappointed
Most of us were there primary for The Empress Gladys..A voice so powerful live that it vibrated my chest. Jus AMAZING
