Songs I Like (28) | beetleypete

Yesterday, a post from Jill Dennison on her blog reminded me just what a powerful singer Gladys Knight could be. https://jilldennison.com/2024/04/20/%E2%99%AB-neither-one-of-us-%E2%99%AB-redux/

I am not using the same song Jill used, but have also chosen a power ballad from the same era.

Starting life as a Country music song, Gladys recorded her deliberately Soul music version in 1974 and enjoyed a hit with it. As a long-time fan of her Motown years, I bought a copy as soon as it came out, and still love to hear it 50 years later.

The lyrics are on the video.
