  • this is my favorite song by gladys knight and the pips if I was ever on my death bed and had 1 last wish it would be to meet her in person

  • Ok folks the Empress of Soul was only 24 or 25 when she sang this song, Oh let her sing this now, she'll kill it and still own it. If she turns it into a solo, it's all over.

  • I think for its time this is a brilliant vocal by Gladys Knight but 10 years on and the funkier production & harmonies gave the Yvonne Fair version a much better edge.

    Remember Yvonne Fair had worked with James Brown and gave the song that extra oomph !! (In my humble opinion)

  • i do not know who yvonne fair is but glady's knight put this song out in 1966 but i am going to listen to yvonne fair now and see who i like better.

  • gladys is one of my all time favourite singers and this is a tremendous song and one of my favourites. not a patch on the yvonne fair version though which is simply divine.

    i love this version to be fair, but its really missing something.

    someone mentioned the way the drums build in this, and i agree.. love that

  • Gladys Knight Has A Beautiful Voice And I Love To Hear Her Sing But I Have To Give It To Yvonne Here I Think She Did It Best.....I Hear This Soul And Emotion In The Song When She Sings It.....One Of My Friends Performs This Song All The Time And I Always Think....Damn Yeah It Should Of Been You....

  • One of the most interesting parts of this is the development of the drum track increasing throughout the song...

  • Yvonne Fair......absolutely brilliant at this song!! Gladys good shot at it.....not the same im afraid x

  • Why would you invite an old girl friend to your wedding knowing how she probably felt about you? This is just a formula for trouble!

  • it happened to me......
