Heart warming words from a precious little girl. All I can say is Thank you Gladys

My mother love this song she went home to be with God on June 28 2022 !!! I play this song thinking of her she was the best think to ever happen to me!!! Love you mom with tears of love flowing from eyes!!

I lost my wife 2 months ago. My whole world crumbled. This song was written for her. 52 yrs old. My English Rose.

I lost my wife of 29 years just a year ago and I will play this song in her memory every year at this time in her memory I still love and miss you babe 😢

Dedicate this to my daughter who left me three years ago. She admired Gladys Knight so much. Encouraged me to go to see her in concert which I did. Love and miss you so much RIP

Lots of love

My mother dedicated this song to me before she passed away. I miss you ma. You are always in my heart. I love you!! I'm crying right now. Thank you for this beautiful song.

Lost my husband of 51 years in June 2023, I am Broken. This song makes me break down sobbing every time I listen to the words, but it totally describes how I felt and still feel about my husband who was such a kind hearted good man.

When you think about it, she didn't get the recognition she deserves yet nevertheless is a Queen

This was our song, married 64 years, not enough when you have the right guy ..... may he rest in peace. A&E LV,NV formerly Boston, MA

My husband is in a coma right now but I will always love you no matter all the crap we went through over 35years.pull through.i love you.😢❤xxx

When I hear this song, I think of my baby sister who passed 5 years ago. She really truly was the best thing that ever happened to me.

My mom may her beautiful Spirit rest in peace use to listen to this She is the best that ever happened to me

Unbelievable how beautiful this song really is. ❤

My mother died on January 10th, 2023, and I dedicate this song to her. May she rest in heaven.

GLADY'S KNIGHT HAS ONE OF THE GREAT VOICES IN MUSIC HISTORY.

Hey my love, I'm playing this song while thinking of you. I miss you tremendously my child, it hurts me so so bad, my life hasn't been the same since you left this earth 6 months ago. Your Ma will always love you and miss you dearly. The memories of you will always be with me and I will never forget you my angel. I dedicated this song to you when we were chilling at my house not knowing a few days later I would lose you. I played this song at your funeral and it hurt me so greatly to see you for the last time. Rest in power and in the joy of the Lord God Almighty. Your Ma forever and always.

My Papa is a lead singer, he used to sing that to my Mama. They both passed away. My Papa in 2016 and my Mama in 2022. It hurts. Im only their unica hija. I missed them both. Im always crying... when i play this song.

God bless my late wife Desiree' I met her and she changed my life gave me 4 beautiful children and changed my life forever

This is basically a perfect song. So well written and performed.

My late wife introduced me to Gladys in 1968 when she bought me " Take me in your arms and love me" I`ve loved listening to her ever since but regret never seeing her live. This song spells out how it was with my wife.

I've been singing this song to my son every night since he was a toddler. He's 7 now. If he ever wants to get married, this will be our mother-son dance song. ❤

Hugs to all that lost Parents & Spouses. Dad passed away in 1999 and Beloved Mother in 2008. Mom used to play this for Dad when they were Cruising. It's a Powerful Song and a Testiment to the Power of Love. Thank You. I think of them when I hear this song and it moves me.

Anyone 2024

If I listen to this song 100 times a day, I always shed tears for each time heard. Only those who have ever lost those who meant the whole world to them can truly relate to the powerful lyrics in this beautiful song.

Incredible Song. Nobody writes like this anymore sadly. Over 40 we all look back now for the classics. Lots of love. Thank you from Limerick, Ireland. Stay safe and love each other out there!

I'll have faith in civilization when we start making records like this again.

I'm blessed that God put my "GOAT man/husband" in my path! Would've been 50 years together this August💔✝️ This song is soooo honest about TRUE LOVE♥️

We don't always tell people what they mean to us. This song sums up my life, and will be one of the songs played at my funeral, for my 6 kids. Lost 6 family members in the last 8 years. My second husband died 10 weeks after getting married. My first husband, who I left work for, to be his full - time carer. He died nearly 11 weeks ago. I've just returned to that same job. My mum just over 2 years ago, and 3 other members.😢

My parents are responsible for my love of music. This was one of "their songs." Dad passed away 40 years ago. Mom is still here, thank God, at 85. I'll never forget how they would go dancing; held hands, and played records on the stereo on weekends.

Our 'Empress Of Soul' loved you then, now and forever (generations) and thanks for sharing your life memories with us all, we're grateful to you @GladysKnight. Still loving you 💕, anyone else? 06/23/2024

Morning to each one of you, Thank you Gladys to calm me in this day, I went through such bad moment last night but you are the reason for me to say it is okay. Let me walk up and dust off all and look to the goodness of the Lord shalom

I buried my mom 8 yrs ago on Sunday ! Idk how this song popped up but it’s her fave song 😢 RIP MOMMY 💐🕊️🕊️

Today my sister called with the extremely sad and unexpected news that a beloved older brother of ours passed away this morning. By God's grace, my wife was by my side, and, throughout the day, as I've been processing this loss, one of the many things that has struck me is how blessed I am to have her in my life. How much of a blessing it was that she married me seven years ago. As I mused on that, this song came to mind, so I'm sending her the link. (By the way, for what it's worth, for me, Gladys (& The Pips) are in a category of performers/groups whose talent I appreciated and whose songs I enjoyed when they came on the radio or TV back in the day, but who were not necessarily in my "top tier" of favorites, perhaps because I lacked the maturity and sophistication to truly appreciate them. (Others in that category would include many of the Motown greats as well as others such as Glen Campbell, James Taylor, John Denver, the BeeGees, etc.) In recent years, however, thanks to KZfaq, I've been revisiting many of these artists' music and I feel like now I'm able to "hear" them in a way I somehow couldn't before. It's hard to put in words just how gifted and special they were. With Gladys, for example, there is a genuineness and passion in her voice that is truly exceptional. I wish I could say it better!)

The Best Thing that Ever Happened was Gladys Knight and The Pips recording this beautiful song.

Love her voice, so distinctive and soulful.

We’re at the end of 2021 and I still love this song, launched back 1973. Gladys voice is simply awesome. One of the best woman voices in the history! I love her! Thank for being part of our planet, Gladys! And thank you for having recorded this beautiful song.

I love how Gladys sings and phrases. It's genius and always coming from deep within. She's a wise woman with amazing skill and an amazing voice. Thank you for this song

This was our song. My daughter had it played during her wedding for her Dad and Me. We danced the whole song with no one else on the floor. We knew he would be passing and he asked me who picked this out? I said I did. He was 56 I was 50. I hear it and cry every time. Married 36 years❤

This is unusual but I could sign this song to my deceased wife and it would be so appropriate. She made more that I could have ever done on my own. She was there in support of all the things I did. And the best lover I could ever find because she was sincere.

Praise God 🙏

When I hear this song it reminds me of my wife who passed away 5 months ago. I used to sing this song to her. Wandy rest in peace

RIP too My Heart I have not been the same since she passed away 2yrs now. Florence Booker from dementia this was 1 of her favorite songs from Gladys Knight in the Pips 😪💔 when I listen to the music I just 😥😪 Really miss you a lot Grandmother

This is one of the most emotional songs that I've ever heard 😭😢

I feel every thing about this song I just lost my wife of 23years she was my everything my to die we went through it all when I say we been through the storm together

I attended a fabulous Gladys Knight performance in August at the Sweetwater Sound Performance Pavillion. This artist still has a mellifluous voice and gives an exceptional show! Though some call this music "old school," it is timeless! And, I remember many Gladys Knights's hit songs. It was 1969 my senior year in high school when I began focusing on the music of Gladys Knight due to "I Heard it Through the Grapevine," which motivated me to buy her recordings: vinyls, 8 tracks, cassettes & CDs. Now, I stream Gladys and the Pips.😊 As a retired English teacher, I was so blessed to have a former student who checked on me during the COVID lockdown drive me to the concert. This concert and the gentleman's kindness brought joy to my heart, and I began to feel a song in my heart again!🤗😷🕊

Have been trying to think of a song that would be appropriate for someone very special to me, I first met this amazing lady roughly 7 months ago, and we actually met face to face for the first time last week as it was her birthday. This lady, Samantha has captured my heart and i have fallen in love with her in a big way, so you could say that this song is very much an appropriate song because she most certainly is the best thing that’s happened to me.

Such a beautiful song with great meaning

🎉 I know I've just met the most amazing man in the world and that's that's why I'm sending this song you're the best thing that ever happened to me

4 GOLD records in a row once she left Motown...Leaving Motown was the best thing that ever happened to Gladys knight and the Pips.

MEMORIES OF MY HUSBAND 1.15.21 HE PASSED 43 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, I MISS HIM EVERYDAY, 😢😢😢 BROKEN, I HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE STANDING ALONE,BUT IN SPIRIT HE'S WITH ME,HE WAS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, 😂💔💔💔🦋🦋🦋

With tears in my eyes, rest easy, Mommy, Daddy & both grannies. You all are truly loved & missed dearly!❤

To my daughters 🥰

The Way We Were is another fabulous song by Ms. Gladys Knight.

My favorite aunts favorite song, May she always rest in the saviors arms

OMG!! This is the last song i played for my mom before she slipped into a coma and passed 3 days later... i will never forget her moving her foot to this music..

Aritha. Donna , Tina and all the others get in the queue behind Glads pure magic. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland loves great music.

This beautiful song creates so many emotions of sadness and joy! For me I cry every time I hear it but is an acclamation of those we love

This group is amazing. Always has been, and always will be. Thanks, for the beautiful music.

I listen to this song and think about my mother who was the best thing that happened to me. RIP MOMMY

My mother now in heaven, the best thing that ever happened to me! Thank you mamita Elba!❤

My mom loved her music, would play her albums all the time when my bros and I were kids. Weird, I woke up with this song in my head this morning thinking of my mother. Love and miss you always mom, RIP FOREVER♥️🙏

Somehow this song fits right in with 2023. I feel sad too, lost a lot of loved ones trying to smile again. But its sooo hard.❤❤❤😢 Love To All

I'm in happy tears! ❤❤❤

We watched gladys live i miss my husband hes looking down from heaven god bless him

Reminds me of my dad ❤️ I cannot wait to see him again. He surely is the reason for my specific taste in music 🙏🏼😭 this music is for the soul. One of his other most favourite songs is titled What Good Is A Song by Quincy Jones ❤️❤️❤️ I’m truly best with my parents and I thank God everyday for keeping them alive till this day. Need to cherish every moment we get with our parents man. I’m crying actually 😭😞

Had to listen as it’s been almost 30 years since my grandmas been gone and she loved Gladys knight and my mother and I always say Gladys singing voice reminded us of my ga ga’s talking voice. So listening to this is like me calling her to hear a story ❤

You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. Everyday with you is a blessing! 💓

I grew up listening to great music like this and prefer listening to it over so-called "pop" music any day. This song is definitely one of my fiancé and I's songs because the lyrics describe how I feel about her.

😢 this is too my gorgeous beautiful blue 💙 EYED QUEEN HELEN ELIZABETH BURKE PASSED AWAY 2 DAYS AGO I'm broken hearted 💔 😢 this song says it all in one I adore you mommy thankyou for making me the woman I am because of your guidance A support I miss you so much RIP say hello to 🇯🇲DADDY MR JOSEPH ALEXANDER MALCOLM 🇯🇲please love you xxx Thanks for giving me the best of both worlds 🇯🇲🇮🇪🇯🇲🇮🇪 too the mixed race crew 😂❤ Birmingham, England ❤

I have been listening to this woman since I was a little girl born and 1970 and my mother sing her songs in the house and my daughters and have gotten me through so many times Thank You thank you Gladys Knight & the Pips

My wife Karen is asleep next to me in our bed. This song reminds me of her. I love her so much.

We played this at my mom's funeral this was her favorite song 😭😭😭

Gladys' vocal vibratos are amazing arts in them selves. The recitative phrasings and cadences of her renditions are peer less in their class, beauty, elegance, and emotive effect. She is the queen diva among queen divas. ❤️❤️❤️

I love Gladys and her music. This is when songs came from the heart

This is one of my MAMA song that she liked so well. LORD how I Miss my MAMA. The lost of my MAMA is so PAINFUL.. 2020... 7 DAYS before my birthday. It will NEVER be the same. I Miss you❣️

Love Gladys Knight. Been listening to her for decades......God bless her and the Pips. She is a legend of this century. Thank you for posting making it possible to listen to her beautiful, awesome voice, a gift from above. ❤️💞❤️💞💞❤️💞❤️

Happy 78th Birthday, Ms. Gladys Knight ❤️❤️🥳🎉🎊

I dedicate this beautiful song to the heavens above because god is the best thing that ever happened to me 😃 💙 💘

I associate this song with the Lord, my Savior and my salvation. But, as far as earthly entities my mom hands down. Rest her soul.❤❤

Oh my gosh I love the song so beautiful

A song that touches my heart each and everytime, not only because of its title but all the beautiful words in between. Lots of tough times but somehow I've developed strength and I've surpassed the rough times.. thanks to God !! I've kept going.

I too have just lost my husband of 43yrs and this song just says it all, every word is true.

Yes I dedicate this song to my Savior, my parents, my siblings & my babies....🥰😘❤🙏🏽

I claim this in the Lord's holy Ghost name brought this song to my memory today I am so very blessed thank you lord for vocalist n writers songs and books authors I am honor wealth strength wisdom

I love my wife, for loving me unconditionally,she was the best thing that ever happened to me.

This song will live FOREVER! Absolutely Beautiful! Thank you Gladys ❤

I just played this for my 10 and 14 yr old boys on our way to school this morning and they both listened intently as I sang my heart out to them. Given what my ex husband has put me through the last 4 years they know this song rings so true. I bawled during my ballad. Both boys smiling as they roll their eyes looking at each other. They both have a love for music that they got from me and I know even when in gone, they will hear this song and know how much their momma loved them and how I loved for them. My mom first played it for me many years ago.... Love to everyone ❤️

The Empress of Soul

This song really has been so special to me because this is my life story and my husband is the best thing that ever happened to me because for 32years he been there for me like I have been there for him so if anyone would write my life story trust me he would be there between each line of pain and glory cause he is the best thing that ever happened to me

This is the song I'm having at my funeral and it's dedicated to my beautiful daughters.❤
