This was the song for our first dance at our 9/10/11 wedding. We danced up to 1:45 and then faded out because the 2nd part speaks to getting through tough times - which we suppose lie ahead, but we haven't encountered them yet. We love Gladys and will see her soon in Vegas.
I love how it's all about the music...just a little dancing, so understated. No screeching or flashy stage show (although it might have been flashy for then!).
Something I noticed about soul artists of the '70s: if a song was recorded with a string section in the studio, they would usually replace the strings with horns during their live performances. The studio version of this song uses violins, but I guess they can't fit an orchestra on stage with them. So, someone re-writes the music for horns... and they sound good too. Most live performances eschew strings for horns. I guess it works out better that way, but I still love the strings on the record.
although this song reminds me of my ex hubby, its still the song i can wholeheartedly dedicate to him. No regrets for the 18 years we've been together. You've taught me a lot of things but most of all, given me my angels....wish you happiness....
i did not know glady was so young and sexy back in her day she almost reminds me of a old lauren hill this would be epic if these two could do a joint together
@harryklyne i really totally agree...this song reminds me of a special guy who means everything to me, even though it dont mean much to him. Life..its a strange thing.
This song reminds us that whoever matters to us in Our lives that We should NEVER miss a day to tell them so because time on this planet is very short. If You love them LET THEM KNOW.
You Are The Best Thing To Ever Happen To Me And I miss You EveryDay and i will love you baby i'm sorry we arent together anymore and i will always regret that
perro!, con esa canción si es verdad que ninguna se aguanta a decir que si, para lo que sea, es hermosísima y la intérprete es lo máximo. felicitaciones youarers, te la comiste.
I guess you could say,that it is all because I am what I am and I will never change for nobody,I smile when I want to smile,I cry when I need to cry,I say what I must say!
I had the pleasure of seeing Gladys Knight perform last night (4-17-09) and she's just as good as, if not better than, ever. Timeless voice, timeless beauty. What a privilege!

Saw her at the 1968 Motortown Revue in Detroit at the Fox Theater. Never forget it, and the other top Motown singers then. I was 14 years old.
