What do I do personally when things don’t work out in my favor? I keep on keeping on. I don’t attack society as I witness others doing when they don’t get their way.
@sanniepstein4835 thank you for being respectful about disagreeing! I felt like replying because how uncommon nowadays that is, and I'm happy we both can agree how this song is wonderful. Take care.
fantastic vocal performance by Gladys Knight & the Pips .Starts off low and slow, then the build up and finally the release is incredible. Who can't relate to her lament ?....but determined to carry on some how....some way....
THIS WEEK IN MUSIC HISTORY 50 YEARS AGO (October 9, 1973): Gladys Knight and the Pips released their album “Imagination” (#1 R&B album charts; #9 pop album charts). This was their first album on Buddah Records after they left Motown a few months ago. [10/10/2023]
Juneteenth 2024 brought me here. I'm 67 years old and I've been reminiscing listening to Gladys while growing up. "You're The Best Thing That's Ever Happened To Me", I dedicate to my husband and daughter as the theme song to my life. I've been lucky. 💙
Nothing else like real music like this! We will never forget this song as needed to this day. Makes you at ease and less stressed. Thank you for such great memories. Dedicating my Throwback Thursday to you!

I didn’t know that Bon Jovi’s Hugh McDonald played bass on this extremely funky joint, “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination” as performed by Gladys Knight and the Pips.
The first omen got me here
#Facts 💯
Same
me too. 😄
No way me too
Same!
As well known as she is, I believe Ms. Knight is quite underrated.
She's won 7 Grammys and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; I'd say she's rated about right.
And Taylor Swift is overated!
Is there anything better than Gladys Knight and the Pips? No, no there is not.
I Agree with Ya 💯
Absolutely no!❤
Absolutely not 💛💗💙❤💜💚💕💕💕🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌹🎶🎶🎵🎵🦢🥳
Got to make the best out of a badd Situation, point blank, over.
First omen. Was not expecting to hear one of the most soulfull, badass songs ever made. Im still in awe ive never heard this before. Just incredible.
you should’ve been there when it came out 💞
@@jdakins4843i bet it was rowdy. Love this track.
This is one of my favorite Glady Knight and the Pips song.
This and on and on
What a fight song!!! Kind of song that gives one the strength and determination to overcome a "bad situation ".
I was 7 listening to this and dancing in my room.❤
I was a little older and might be the one that was peekin' through the window...
Thank you Miss Gladys Knight. ⚘

The day this song can't get me out of bed in the morning, I'll know I'm dead.

I always listen to this song whenever something goes wrong in my life. It helps me pick myself up & feel determined to turn shit around
Music that was on a whole other level that cant be explained!
Amen and amen sisters & brothers!!!! So powerfully uplifting in the deepest despair!
This is the kind of great music I listened to while I was growing up.

This is one of the most gangsta songs of all time!
THAT VOICE!
I had to listen to this song after thinking about the episode of "A Different World" with Gladys Knight appeared on it.
yes, Three Girls Three. an absolute classic especially "i had a dream Gladys had me shot. Can't blame her"
The floor tom instead of the snare drum is so great!
Had me at: "Darkness all around me.." ❤
I lose my mind when I hear this song.
Raw soul singing about lost love. She can belt it out but the Pips make it even better.
Saw them live in Jamaica in 1982. They were the best band that night and there were a ton of great bands.
Loved this song since I was a little girl. Still do!
Lots of great music there, my favorite is “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination”.
Gladys… one of my favorite singers. A great song.
Got to keep on keeping on
Love, peace and happiness for you, Miss Gladys Knight. ⚘
For sure Gladys Knight
Was never really of fan of Gladys Knight & The Pips --- BUT this is totally Awesome!
fantastic...whether on vee jay, motown or buddha, they were consistent hit makers.
A beautiful inspirational song
Just had to drop by here after 9 Perfect Strangers Ep.1~ what a find!
Love ❤❤❤. This song, the whole album, is keeping me keeping on! Thank you, Queen Gladys and the Pips❤
There's a message to this song.Regardless of the circumstances,bad as they may be,life goes on,just keep on keeping on.John M Guinto

Take me back to the weekend
It's been my pleasure
❤️🕯️🕯️🕯️❤️
It been my pleasure
I've really got to use
My imaginationㅤ
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on (keep on keepin' on)
Got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day)
I woke up and found
That you were gone (gone, gone)
Darkness all around me
Blockin' out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin' to anyone
Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on livin'
But why, I just don't know (you're too strong, got to keep on keepin' on)
Yes, I am
Staring down reality
Don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood (too well understood)
Such a sad, sad season (sad, sad season)
When a good love dies (when a good love dies)
Not a day goes by (not a day goes by)
When I don't realize (realize)
Ooh, ooh, oh, I've really got to use (I've got to use)
My imagination (I've got to use)
To think of good reasons (I've got to use)
To keep on keepin' on (I've got to use)
I've got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day)
I woke up and found out
That you were gone (you're too strong, got to keep on keepin' on)
I really have got to use (I've got to use)
A real imagination (I've got to use)
To think of good reasons (I've got to use)
To keep on pushin' on (I've got to use)
I said I've got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day)
I woke up and found out
That you were gone (you're too strong, got to keep on keepin' on)
Oh, I've really got to use (I've got to use)
My imagination (I've got to use)
To think of good reasons (I've got to use)
To keep on pushin' on
