One of the great break-up songs in soul music.

I can't believe there are comments about lip synching here. It is a live concert with a live band & she is clearly singing live without the aid of todays tech enhancements. The simple explanation is Gladys was that good. At her peak in this era no-one, but no-one topped her. A beautiful & supremely talented woman. The Pips ain't no slouches either.

It's called pure GOD given talent, baby. Pure and oh so not so simple. Extraordinary doesn't even get CLOSE. HEAVEN itself gets quiet when this baby girl sings. No blaspheme intended. Truth

I cannot get enough of this clip. Gladys Knight is a diamond! She shines bright with her immense talent, and showmanship. Her emotions and actions authentically match the song she is singing. The Pips augment the song in form and fashion; they are not taking anything away from the performance at all. What a great performance!

She is clearly one of the greatest and most unique singers in the history of recorded music. And lucky for all of us, her voice is still pristine, intact, soulful, perfect. How many singers can you say that about? They all lose something.....Gladys has lost nothing!! Long live The Empress of Soul!

I just found out tonight that my soulmate of 5 years has been cheating on me and yet still professes her love...I've been suspicious for months but was always tore into for wondering...I love this girl more than life itself but have to let her go...this hurts more than can be expressed; she was my life...and I'm a very hard type person...impossible to let this one go...suffice it to say that this song REALLY hits home right now...there are no words to express how perfect Gladys is. God help me.

As a female singer that LOVES to sing this kind of song, I wish people today would take the time to listen to meaningful music like this! Good music is out there...but people have to be willing to LISTEN...that means put the cellphones down, stop fidgeting, listen to the music, and let the emotions flow.

Notice how she sang to a PACKED out house, gave an AMAZING performance, and STILL commands our attention to this VERY day.................and she did not have to appear half nude! NEW GENERATION take note, the most VALUABLE AND EVERLASTING THINGS ARE COVERED, RESPECTED AND PROTECTED THAT IS WHY THEY LAST!

Despite the process Sista' Glady's is wearing, it has so much body and fullness, she appears to look so healthy. In 1973 fast food and genetic engineered food wasn't at a all time high as it is now. They ate mostly natural cooked food back then and still recieved better health results than we do, today. Mother Nature is the way to good health.

This song Neither One Of Us is a favorite of mine by Gladys Knight and The Pips, classic song(s) they never go away because the singers, groups etc they worked hard to get to the level that they achieved, let me give credit to the band that's backing them, l like the way music builds that horn section is killin it, the drummer, guitarist, all the musicians-This is music, not noise- THIS IS TOP SHELF

Nobody has sung so many songs so easily, powerfully, beautifully and with so much passion, and never once forgetting to smile because she just knew that to connect with people and make them happy is the ultimate musical experience. She was always there and always performing, but almost always taken for granted. What a gift to the world...best thing that ever happened to Motown, to us...GLADYS!!

If you listen to the words to the song it really paints a picture of love when it's over. You know the hard part is saying it's over. when you have history with a person it's hard weather the relationship is good or bad. she had a line that said "so we go on hurting and pretending" that's deep.

I've always found that when someone cheats on me, hell it's their lost, not mine. Yes, I've invested much or more into it, but I had to see it as a door opening, not just a door closed. I had the key. It WON'T happen over night. But eventually you will. And signs of you getting over her are simple words like WAS, (she was my life). Very profound statement. God bless you. Pray about, accept it and move on. You CAN do it.
