You Are The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me 

Gladys is my favorite female singer - hard to choose, with so much talent back then and now. She's just the best. Gorgeous too.

The horn arrangement is phenomenal here. Gladys is phenomenal too, of course!

I was just in the bath singing this song,and could not get it out of my head!!! 1974 i was 14 years old. When you all of a sudden start singing it 40 years later the penny has dropped? what a beautiful woman she is,and a voice so soulful and on Que with emotions. Gladys sorry it took so long for me to appreciate your song. XXX Much Respect.

I adore her in 2021. The way she sings this song brings tears. This performance is a religious experience. She is American R&B at it's peak. Nothing like it. Love.

Jesus is the first best thing that ever happened to me, followed by my family. This song is timeless.

Man, now that's REAL music right there!!! Gladys singing her heart out, killer rhythm and horn section, and an AMAZING and relatable song, with and actually coda ending. YES!!!!!!

Gladys Knight, one of the greatest talents that we'll ever see.

In case you young people out there are wondering what this is, its called raw talent. No jiggling booty, no skimpy clothing, or auto tune or lip syncing...this has lasted over 40 years...and will be here in 40 more...

OMG this is what RU-vid is all about . This amazing gem! YES GLADYS outstanding

For anyone who didn't grow up listening to her...this is what REAL singing is about. She is quite gifted. Nobody is in her class.

Always in my loved singer list since first hear in the 60's. Have seen her in concert. Class Act all the way! One of the very best to me!!!!❤️

Giving birth to my son is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me. ❣️❣️

No one did soul like her... and that's coming from a big Whitney fan. Gladys set the bar and it's never been topped.

This song used to play on AM radio ( WLS, WCFL CHGO) .. i didn't pay much attention to it , it was just a nice feel good back ground song .. Then strumming my guitar i found it in a song book and the words were .. great.. i became a fan .. watching this video i see her for the very first time and see the love truth and beauty of her soul... I am 64 and still learn new things every day ... What a great singer with heart and soul ,, brought something good into this world and now wherever she goes... Music is a gift from GOD and she shows that to us in her awesomeness of her presentation of this ... Gladys...Knight... Watching this video was a true joy.... W-O-W !

This takes me back to my childhood on Saturday mornings doing my chores and my mom playing this album on the record player. Classic!!!!

A truly great song and an out of this world performance. A voice that towers above all of life's struggles.

You know when I was 5 years old, 2 cement workers sat down on the hot concrete step having their lunch...each had a quart of milk with their sandwiches... every day in that hot glorious summer days in Memphis tn. We were buddies.....there was nothing but real friendship between us....2 hard working black gentlemen and one 5 year old white boy. Bonded that summer..now that I’m 82 old yr. old white guy.....know something their both in my nightly Prayers...my 2 buddies.

If there's a wonderful reason to live listening to a harmonious sound, this is one of those reasons. Wonderful Gladys Night.🙏🙏🙏👍 greetings from Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico

I was introduced to the song by a lovely women a long time ago..Who has passed on RIP Mary Thomas. I always find it very difficult to get through this song without 😢

Timeless. This song could be applied to many aspects of our lives even as we mature and grow. That's what makes a great song great. Gladys' performance and delivery of emotion is so heartfelt. The qualities of a songstress with a title. Thank you GKP. Love you😘😘😘

one of the best ever..........will she be "the bee" on the maksed singer

Gladys Knight and Patsy Cline were the best of the best, bar none. Pasty died but Gladys still sings.

Canta muito; graves, médios e agudos...

Is it me , but I feel as though they never got enough credit ?

Wow!!!

She's done this song a lot better.

She sound's good live just like on the record, Gladys is dark brown and attractive, just my type. 😍 💘

❤

I believe in God and love forever

God she's beautiful

GLADYS KNIGHT ♥️ The Queen of Soul

I could watch this a hundred times a day. Beautiful live performance with true talent, no special effects, no fancy stunts, just raw emotion. and the Pips are so smooth too.

My wife, just dedicated this song to me!! She’s the best thing that ever happened to me!!!

This performance, as any by Gladys and the Pips, is all the proof one needs that there is no race, or color, or culture, or agenda when it comes to God sharing talent with humankind.
