I just heard Miley sing it also! I think this beautiful lady has passed now, I’m going to Google her! I have never heard it before, it’s beautiful as sung by both women! A heartbreaker! 💔💔
Miley blew me away when she sang it! Truthfully, I’ve listened to three different versions and I like Miley‘s the best! She even beat Gladys Knight! Sorry… just calling it as I heard it! Miley is a very interesting and talented woman!!
Yvonne Fair - A memory of 1975 made me search the title bc I had not heard it in years (48). Then I found this. Thank you for sharing your voice! Such beauty audibly & visually is not frequent. I last heard this at ‘George’s Crisco Disco’ in Memphis 1976. Your performance here I will revisit often. ❤️
Thanks miley cyrus for introducing this song to people like me who rely on some decent singers of today to take us back to classics by singing them ...
I discovered this song while watching a British TV show called “The Vicar of Dibley” and it instantly joined my rotation and became a favorite. Miley Cyrus is one of only a handful of artists who could adequately cover it and she absolutely killed it.
This song has just made me cry and cut my soul in half. Not sure where its been hiding all my life, but the pain in her voice is absolutely phenomenal... what a masterpiece 👏
Absolutely brilliant. I played this to my daughter years ago. Nowin her 40s we still laugh at this song and Tell Laura I love her. Funny how some songs take us back years in time.
In the album version of the song, which is only slightly longer than the single version, right at the end Yvonne sings "It should have been me. Get your hands off of me" 😂
I saw my love Walking down the aisle And as he passed me by He turned to me and Gave me a smile Then the preacher Then the preacher The preacher joined their hands And all the people The people began to stand When I shouted It should have been me Oh, it should have been me You know it should have been me Baby, how can you do this to me You made a promise That we'd never part Then you turned around And you broke, Lord, my heart Now you're standing there Saying, I do Holding hands With somebody new When you know that It should have been me Oh, it should have been me Oh, oh, it should have been me Baby, how can you do this to me Then the preacher, whoa, yeah The preacher asked that There be silence please If any objections to this wedding Speak now or forever Forever hold your peace And I stood up and said It should have been me Oh, oh, it should have been me Jumped out of my seat and screamed It should have been me Oh, oh, oh, hey You're blowing my mind People, believe me That man is mine It should have been me No, oh, oh, you know It should have been me Oh, ho, it should have been me Oh, ho, somebody call the police That woman down there Is a doggone thief It should have been me It should have been me Oh, oh, It should have been me... (Songwriters: Normal Whitfield/William Stevenson)
@@yorkiecob Yep, one of my early teenage (15 ish) favourites, I had the single & kept playing it over & over again, couldn´t get enough of it. RIP Maám Yvonne ❤
My Favourite Motown track, I wondered what happened to Yvonne Fair, I am sad that she passed away all that time ago I never saw anything about her passing, the first time that I saw a picture of her I thought that it was of a young Diana Ross, As anyone else noticed the likeness? I've only ever heard Yvonne Fair's version so I don't think that I could listen to any other, This was Yvonne's song she made it her own, RIP Yvonne Fair.
Yvonne here expresses the pain and sorrow that romantic love as, opposed to real love, inflicts on so many people, go girl, some super soulful singing!
What a voice. Known this song for a few years after it was played in a scene from The Vicar of Dibley (BBC comedy for USA viewers- see if you can find it to watch as you won’t be disappointed) and it’s fantastic. Perfect voice, perfect song, perfect emotion, just perfect. This lady would have been superb in Dream Girls.
Just heard Miley sing this on Jimmy Fallon. Yvonne Fair was brilliant and Miley hit it out of the park. Miley needs to include this on an album. Fantastic singing from both women.
Wish someone had shouted this at my first wedding cos it should definitely have not been me, married now to a fantastic woman for 40 years,we all make mistakes should have listened to other people.
NEIL MARTIN omg I totally understand you. But been married now 15 yrs to second one where the first was only 13. But wished I met my husband first time round because I could have had children with him x
Yet another amazing composition written and arranged by the MAN, Norman Whifield. What a fantastic version Yvonne did here. She deserved more promotion and exposure at Motown.
I agree, she died far too young. After I heard Miley sing it, I immediately went to hear the original, wow. They both did justice to the song! Yvonne died from cancer so very young… how cool of Miley because so many people are now listening to the original version!
Love the song but I'm also eternally grateful that, despite my lifetime of failed relationships, I never have to say that it should have been me! Sometimes life is okay.
I remember being at the wedding of the first of us to get married and her ex was next to me with our friend Jim who (very quietly) sang this chorus and we all had to stifle our giggles. We were ridiculously young to be fair......
I am 65 years young and never heard this song until I came across it with Miley cirus singing it to Pete davisdon wow did she sing it. Yvonne fair would of loved it. Thanks Miley for bringing it
I love a strong soul voice... but this record is part of my silly childhood :) I truly wish Yvonne had been at my wedding (would have saved me a whole lot of trouble). It is (as always) what it is... glad I am smiling typing this... just a classic track rarely [never] played on my local airwaves but ingrained in my memory, TaDa !
This song is wonderful because your mothers voice captures the emotions that the lyrics evoke. I remember it as being one of those songs that as soon as you heard it you were just craving hearing it again and in those days the shops sold out really quick and you then had to wait till more copies arrived.RIP Yvonne Fair
I heard this song for the first time 2-3 months ago on Radio 2 and have played it every day since - countless times. I am obsessed with it. What a voice, what emotion ! And yes, it should have been me ! Though I know that it wouldn't have been a good ending. Would love to tell her how much I love this song. It brings out sadness and happiness in the same amounts. Now one of my all-time faves :)
I feel you! 1-1 the same obsession like you… Damn that’s so crazy. I’m so glad I heard miley cover it today! I listen this song since 2h on repeat. It’s so different and addictive.. I love it because “It should have been me” many times in my life..
When I first heard this song in the 70s I instantly loved it. At the time I was unhappily married to my first wife, whom I divorced not long after. Ever since UA-cam became a thing I looked for this song, initially without success. When I found this particular video I was struck by how Yvonne Fair was my exe's doppelganger. Not long after, I re-established contact with my estranged daughter who I hadn't seen since she was a toddler. I sent her the link to the video. We both cried -the similarity was too much to bear. I still love it in spite of the sadness.
What an absolute classic! In the early 90s I acquired a double cassette album of Motown hits called 'from Motown with Love' and this song was on it. Thanks KTEL for introducing me to superb music like this.
I don't believe there is a female impersonator in the whole world that hasn't lip synched this song on stage - this is one of those golden classics that you will never hear recorded again!
Such powerful and strong vocals, you can really hear the emotion and soul in her voice! We don't get to hear this song enough these days. Bizarrely an episode of "The Vicker of Dibley" brought me here and reminded me of this great song! Thankfully, we have these videos stored away for generations to see and listen to!
I launched this trend which consists in writing under each new youtube video that I see where I am and what I am doing. I think it's a nice way to remind what I was feeling in the past and have good memories. Today is 11/12/2021, I’m in Valencia and I am studying. I accidentally saw the Miley Cyrus video and came here to hear the original song. What strength in that voice, mesmerizing! Where have you been hidden until today?
Just heard this for the first time ever by Miley Cyrus on jimmy Fallon . Needed to hear the original. How fantastic.
And now watch "Just your average wedding Congratulations Peter and Peter" lol
Yes!!
I just heard Miley sing it also! I think this beautiful lady has passed now, I’m going to Google her! I have never heard it before, it’s beautiful as sung by both women! A heartbreaker! 💔💔
Me too🙂
Omg that brought me here too!!
Never was a lyric delivered with such intensity. She was fabulous!! Yvonne Fair ,,,still sorely missed!
So right , MILEY CYRUS WILL PREFORM this at Fallon tonight! So excited
Real deal
Couldn't agree more ..... this is a powerful song.
My mom had this on vinyl when I was a child! I'm 50 next week! I remember it from back then on the deck! Always playing loud wow! Takes me back...😊
I can't believe I've heard this song for the first time through Miley Cyrus of all people. And not only that, but her version was excellent.
Miley blew me away when she sang it! Truthfully, I’ve listened to three different versions and I like Miley‘s the best! She even beat
Gladys Knight! Sorry… just calling it as I heard it!
Miley is a very interesting and talented woman!!
@@TheNeworleanswoman you just had to sneak that stupid comparison in, huh?
Sorry! MILEY VERSION IS THE BEST!
@@malgorzatabujnarowski2078 Miles Cyrus would give a fortune away to have a voice like Yvonne Fair.
@@malgorzatabujnarowski2078
That's your opinion.
Many like myself disagree with you.
Rest easy Yvonne. 💗🕊💗
Miley just announced she’s gonna perform this on Jimmy Fallon tonight I can’t waiiittttt
Just listened to it! She’s great
it was a great cover
Great cover. Hadn’t heard this song it forever. What a classic

Great soulful voice x
Thanks miley cyrus for introducing this song to people like me who rely on some decent singers of today to take us back to classics by singing them ...
SAME!
YES
maybe a tiny bit more that « decent » but i agree :)
You said exactly what I wanted to, but couldn't find the right words..lol
Let's tell it like it is.
She sang the daylights out of this song. You just felt her pain in every word. What a voice she had!
She certainly did
"Somebody call the police that woman dow there is a doggone thief" absolute 🔥 🔥
I discovered this song while watching a British TV show called “The Vicar of Dibley” and it instantly joined my rotation and became a favorite. Miley Cyrus is one of only a handful of artists who could adequately cover it and she absolutely killed it.
I was looking for the Vicar of Dibley clip when I found your brilliant post!
When she wanted to marry Richard Armitage..
Is that why it has that weird beginning and end to the video?
A lip sync version of this was in a Vicar of Dibley special. Hilarious!
This song has just made me cry and cut my soul in half. Not sure where its been hiding all my life, but the pain in her voice is absolutely phenomenal... what a masterpiece 👏
Absolutely brilliant. I played this to my daughter years ago. Nowin her 40s we still laugh at this song and Tell Laura I love her. Funny how some songs take us back years in time.
Ye I wo thinkinf same,,, if id a kniwn my ex wo getting married, I would a stopped, it, along stiry,
Same here…
This is honestly such a beautiful song ahhhhhhh. Her voice, her pain, the lyrics.
Can’t wait for it to blow up again after Miley and SNL
Vocals to die for. Wow Yvonne!
one of those rare moments when the perfect voice finds its perfect song at the perfect moment in time with the perfect performance. timeless classic
jackspinner1 Absolutely Top Comment 💯
jackspinner1 Spot on 👍
That beautiful powerhouse voice!!!
Whitney Houston comes to mind
So true
This is when music was real. RIP. miss Yvonne
Outstanding bonjourno
“Somebody call d POL-ce cos dat woman up deir is a god damn thief “ ... absolutely superb! This is one of the most underrated songs of all time.
ditto, young ones now don,t know what great music is, just an old fart i gess
In the album version of the song, which is only slightly longer than the single version, right at the end Yvonne sings "It should have been me. Get your hands off of me" 😂
Glad to see somebody else quote that cuz that's the best line in the song and I always wait to hear that line
I actually think the lyrics are "That women up their is a doggone theif!". It's a great line either way :3
@@withgoddess7164 Me too, It's wonderful.
I saw my love
Walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned to me and
Gave me a smile
Then the preacher
Then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people
The people began to stand
When I shouted
It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
You know it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me
You made a promise
That we'd never part
Then you turned around
And you broke, Lord, my heart
Now you're standing there
Saying, I do
Holding hands
With somebody new
When you know that
It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me
Then the preacher, whoa, yeah
The preacher asked that
There be silence please
If any objections to this wedding
Speak now or forever
Forever hold your peace
And I stood up and said
It should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Jumped out of my seat and screamed
It should have been me
Oh, oh, oh, hey
You're blowing my mind
People, believe me
That man is mine
It should have been me
No, oh, oh, you know
It should have been me
Oh, ho, it should have been me
Oh, ho, somebody call the police
That woman down there
Is a doggone thief
It should have been me
It should have been me
Oh, oh, It should have been me...
(Songwriters: Normal Whitfield/William Stevenson)
There is so much emotion in her voice that you would think it was really happening to her
Why is this kind of passion not in todays music? This matters ...
Because todays music is soulless throw away rubbish thats why.
You do feel her passion. Not many songs do that.
@rugbydazz I'm hopeful Streaming Radio may be able to accomplish this
... everything is a cycle!
Very true Steve.
One of the most powerful and moving SOUL records ever made. Just close your eyes and feel the pain. PHENOMENAL STUFF.
Just found this and I can't stop cryin cause it happened to me in 1984 and I guess I never got over it
Wow, I loved this when it first came out in the 70's, here now in 2023 it is still FANTASTIC.
Yvonne, your voice and emotion just gives me chills. Incredible natural talent. R.I.P
Fantastic What a voice rip Yvonne Xx😘😉
Rip girl you never beforgot.x
@@lesralphs9200She might have been alright as a little backup,But She DidNot Have the Talent to Sang,Thats not singing.
Every wedding I go to, when they ask that question to the congregation, I hear this song. After all these years, every time.
The Best, the very, best rendition!!! Should have been a huge hit!
lt was in the UK
@@yorkiecob Yep, one of my early teenage (15 ish) favourites, I had the single & kept playing it over & over again, couldn´t get enough of it. RIP Maám Yvonne ❤
Gets better every time, one of the best.
Every note she belted out entered me and left through tears. What a heavenly voice.
I saw Yvonne Fair open for the Supremes several times in the 60's and never ever forgot her. She was amazing!
My Favourite Motown track, I wondered what happened to Yvonne Fair, I am sad that she passed away all that time ago I never saw anything about her passing, the first time that I saw a picture of her I thought that it was of a young Diana Ross, As anyone else noticed the likeness?

I love this song so much. It was amazing when it was first released, but even more amazing years later
Thank you Miley! I’m obsessed with this song now…

They dont make these any more. Shame .
Never heard this song before Miley sang it. its absolutely fabulous

Agree Angeline. The emotion in her voice is so raw and so full of pain. . Makes me wonder if this ever happened to Yvonne for real.......

This is an early Gladys Knight song, Hear Gladys version it is all that. Pull it up on UA-cam.
