this is my parents....this is my parents and my aunts and uncle and cousins, coming over to our place on the weekends and cooking out and playing cards and laughing and making fun of each other. This is my childhood...this is so clear to me, in my minds' eye. I can still SEE memories, clear as day. Gladys' voice, was EVERYTHING, in those days. Her voice is the sound of 'black life'.

I can't take it !! I must have listened to this song at least 20 times today. They are sing LIVE!!!!!...The band is smoking..The BGV are so clear. And Gladys is SLAYING this tune. It's VERY rare when a LIVE performance exceeds the original recording. Gladys & the Pips Killed on this tune.. Listening to this particular performance made me appreciate the Pips EVEN more. Those brothers are BLOWING on the BGV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gladys and the Pips are right up at the top of the list of the greatest vocal groups ever. Only a couple of other women have ever had the vocal Soul Power of Gladys, and these days there aren't any. Beyonce? Not even close. On top of it Gladys was so beautiful, both inside and out, that she actually glowed!

This is from the pre-PBS New York TV show "Soul! from February 9, 1972, where Anna Marie-Hosford (Thelma Frye on "Amen" and Dee BAxter on "The Wayan Brothers" got her start as assistant producer). One of the writers of this song was Katherine Anderson Schaffner of The Marvelettes. Another excellent version of this song was done by fellow Marvelette Ann Bogan when she was part of Love, Peace & Happiness (a division of New Birth) along with Leslie & Melvin Wilson (also on KZitem).
