Agreed and so very classy. Most of our black female entertainers need to study class at her feet. All they know how to do is bear flabby breasts and flabby asses . Such a shame to hate oneself so deeply! GOD save them and their gutter low esteems , PLEASE! JACQUIE A dIVA in all ways?❤
I was involved in a BBC TV variety show in the 70's at the old Shepherds Bush Television Theatre, and sat in the stalls when Gladys - a few feet from me - rehearsed this song with the Peter Knight orchestra. Magic.
This makes me imagine a conversation between God and the angel Gabriel and Gabriel says, I know you would never make the perfect human being with perfect beauty and voice but how close are you willing to go?
The smoothness of her delivery......the transition from whispering to full voice is not only stunning, but masterful. One of the greatest contemporary singers of our time.
This great woman here, has always stopped me dead in my tracks while listening to her. I am 71 years of age and still listening to her songs today, they carry the same effect on me. In gospel, Tramaine Hawkins does me the same way, I freeze listening to those two voices!!! Awesome gifts!
This song is not only gorgeous sang by her, but so personal to me. This song is so meaningful to me, personally. Sometimes someone who suffers from depression, just needs to truly make it through the night. Demons come out to play, and in those moments of darkness, the mind can really go insanely crazy. The day can be bright as possible, but when night time comes around and the sun starts to go down, that darkness is very scary and so sad... I love how music can really show true, genuine human emotion.
A beautitul ballad written by a country songwriter (Kris Krisofferson) and sung so powerfully by the Goddess of Soul ...this is a brilliant example of why the boundaries of musical genres are so blurred in the best ways ...I'm just thankful that I don't care about the genre, I just like it when it's good and this is as good as it gets.
Thank you for the information as I never knew it was written by Kris Krisofferson. I came here as this was my mum's favourite ever song and of which helped her through some tough times. Funnily KK was also a favourite of hers. I find it comforting listening to a song that she loved during her lifetime 🙂 x
RIP Dad. Passed Away 1 year today and played at his funeral. This was his his favourite song and version, where I grown up with this sung by Gladys Knight. Its a fantastic song by a beutiful lady who knew how to make it her own. But I do find it difficult to listen to now. Really Glad someone posted this version. Thank You. We are all thinking of you Dad. We all miss you.
For me this is the definitive version, beautiful production quality, beautiful voice, beautiful lady. Musicians and singer in harmony and not competing, instead a dialogue between instruments and vocals.
Today or ever. Gladys takes it to a whole different level of depth of feeling, as though she has felt every emotion, smiled every smile and cried every tear that we have ever known.
Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Layin' soft upon my skin Like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side Till the early mornin' light All I'm takin' is your time Help me make it through the night I don't care who's right or wrong I don't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And it's sad to be alone
Arguably the best cover of this song ever recorded. The last minute of this song, with the repetition of the main phrase, is devastatingly beautiful. Spectacular!
Tonight but the grace of God....this saved my life....i couldn't find peace, the song my mother used to song beautifully emerged....if there's a woman and a voice like Gladys the legend knight, I'm sure there must be more beauty to comprehend and love. Thankyou Gladys and postee.
Soo,soo beauty,whit a voice not for as,you are a angel..god bless you.Thank's for you exist.I love you GLADYS.one billiard kisses.(escuse my english not so good)Szeretlek...this is a hungarien word.Many kissess for you..........
This is my alltime fav of gladys nights .. i sing it quite a lot when playing it through youtube u sing it once n end up all night singing it as ye canny stop 💝
this lady should be the role model of every woman alive today, she sings with the compassion of angels she expresses a feeling of a love that is honest and pure. I just love and adore both her and her contribution to music, a wonderful human being that lays a troubled heart and soul to peace
What a scintillating and awesome performance and they don't come much better than this. Gladys knight certainly did justice in this excellent performance.
My very most favourite. Version of her song . Such a very naturally beautiful girl she is ....thank you for bringing back happy memories of the early 70 s when I first heard you xxxx

Indeed she sold millions of records and she was extremely popular but should be considered as one of our greatest vocalists simply because she is.
She is the greatest for me Murp
Well said
Agreed and so very classy. Most of our black female entertainers need to study class at her feet. All they know how to do is bear flabby breasts and flabby asses . Such a shame to hate oneself so deeply! GOD save them and their gutter low esteems , PLEASE!
JACQUIE A dIVA in all ways?❤
Dreadful
She is considered one of the greatest!
Man when God made this woman he broke the mold.....that voice those looks........WOW. All these years later Im still in awe of her.
Saw her live a couple of months ago .. pushing 80 and still extraordinary.
I was involved in a BBC TV variety show in the 70's at the old Shepherds Bush Television Theatre, and sat in the stalls when Gladys - a few feet from me - rehearsed this song with the Peter Knight orchestra. Magic.
Que inveja de si 😢❤

I remember Shepherds Bush Theatre
This makes me imagine a conversation between God and the angel Gabriel and Gabriel says, I know you would never make the perfect human being with perfect beauty and voice but how close are you willing to go?
I can’t be the only one who cries listening to this amazing woman singing this song.
The smoothness of her delivery......the transition from whispering to full voice is not only stunning, but masterful. One of the greatest contemporary singers of our time.
The ONLY bad thing about this performance is that I can only give one thumbs up!!
This great woman here, has always stopped me dead in my tracks while listening to her. I am 71 years of age and still listening to her songs today, they carry the same effect on me. In gospel, Tramaine Hawkins does me the same way, I freeze listening to those two voices!!! Awesome gifts!

I've got goosebumps. Gladys slayed it. Easily the best cover.....EVER
The greatest female singer of all time she owns this song god gave her the voice kriss gave her words
THE END BIT IS STAGGERING
Covered by many, but not one is as soulful as this . . .
Gladys has one of the best voices in the world! Biljana from Novi Sad, Serbia!
One of the best songs I've ever heard
Surely one of the great singers of all time.
Gladys took this song a made it her own, she sang it with so much emotion, simply beautiful
So many good versions of this song but she sings it as if it was written for her to sing. She owns this song!
Could not have said it any better and you are right on point
100% She sings from her soul
Yeah spot on
@@manuelsantos2199 Thank you very much

It is now 9 years one month since I lost my beautiful wife , this song and 'The first time ever I saw her face' still moves me to tears
Stay strong mate in her memory
God bless. I know what you mean.
❤We have Always Love Gladys Knight,💫💫💫🙏🏽
Such And Incredible and Amazing Woman Who isTruly Musically Talented 🎼❤
Its 2024 I was born in 78 but my mum used to play this song so loud rest in peace mum I'm going to miss you till we meet again x
There probably isn't a man in this world who wouldn't help Gladys make it through the night :-)
Legend. Nobody sings like this lady
In my view - This is the Best version and miss these kinds of tunes in todays world
There is something about black female singers, they possess a portal to the human soul like no other, quite a gift.
Thass because they naturally possess beauty and talent
For me this is the definitive version, beautiful production quality, beautiful voice, beautiful lady. Musicians and singer in harmony and not competing, instead a dialogue between instruments and vocals.
Totally agree! If trying to teach a singer or musician what musical dynamics are - this is the performance.
she is an amazing singer indeed and put any emotion required in a song
Love this beautiful song it’s very touching from the heart 💜❤💛💙💗💚💕💕💕
Man!!! They don't make um like this anymore.. The legend.. The Diva.. The queen of class...
OMG... What a voice.
I have seen her many times live. She just has the most God given voice. God Bless Gladys Knight
This LADY Has More Soul Than ALL THE SINGERS TODAY PUT TOGETHER!!!!
now this comment I agree with!
Today or ever. Gladys takes it to a whole different level of depth of feeling, as though she has felt every emotion, smiled every smile and cried every tear that we have ever known.

GLADYS KNIGHT is the Queen of soul ❤
unofficial
She needs no fancy electronic enhancement, or vocal gymnastics. She, is the genuine article, Pure, real, and beautiful.
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Beautiful xxxx
amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤
Arguably the best cover of this song ever recorded. The last minute of this song, with the repetition of the main phrase, is devastatingly beautiful. Spectacular!
Arguably bc the version by Mariah Carey may be the best!
Beautiful
My god...there is music then there is music...Gladys brings this song up to where it belongs!
Her voice is pure velvet ! Beautiful
My favourite soul singer .Her voice touches my 🤍
This song will forever be one of my favorites.
This is one of the Most Soulful performances I've ever seen 🙏🏾

this great song was from 1972 and she sang the hell out of it. what a great voice.
Totally agree; Gladys is superb... sang the song so clearly and with such emotion. Cannot be duplicated.
Just Beautiful doesn't get any better than that
This song has stayed with me since my teens. I'm 60 now and this song is still a special part of me.
Hello Jenny, How are you doing?
The first time I heard her sing was in Concert in D.C. I was 17 years old. She's always been phenomenal.
I just LOVE this ladies voice...always have... Please don't get me wrong...but to me, she's the best black-female singer.
Angel Quest nearly

You mean just The Best, of any colour.
Oh man.so beautiful. Xxxxx love this track and lady.

Could this be the best song in the world ?? its got my vote .
It's definitely up there!
Ivor Wood would definitely agree with you but only for Sammi Smith's version.
....And That Is How Songs Should Be Sung.
remarkable!!! that silky smooth voice unlike any. what a gift.
Yeah. But God can she belt it out when she wants to!
I am telling you. I can listen to renditions like these forever

I just love and adore both her and her contribution to music, a wonderful human being that lays a troubled heart and soul to peace
Perfect voice, so pure strong and natural. Unmatched by anyone, today.
You have to have been there to really feel this song, she sings this with so much feeling, Great Version, Great Song. ❤❤❤
