I love the way Gladys Knight just smiles, waits her time and then absolutely knocks it out the park. Such a great song, beautifully harmonised and timeless.
I admire the way Gladys Knight looks at everyone with a beautiful smile, she seems happy, overflowing with happiness. and when her turn came, she delivered it all with her powerful voice!!👏🏻 the melody, instrumental arrangements, vocals, My God, what a beautiful and moving song 🤍
Gladys real name Gay. My family and lots & lots of my friends say i sound exactly like her when i sing her music the songs she sang. Any song by her or anyone.. always get asked to sing no matter where i am.
Im a great singer i always get told by strangers people in shopping malls Pubs Weddings are always what people ask me to do. I write sonfs for Katty perry, Pink, Seal, Mordooa Madonna Tina Turner thats just a couple of people. Ang the girl who.. and the guy.. can't remember song 🤔 .. he was ok but her... she didnt go far. Her career
In loving memory of Burt Bacharach, who died this week at 94. The songs he wrote will live on forever. TWFAF IS A BRILLIANT EXAMPLE. Thank you, Dionne Warwick & Friends Kenneth Huang 2/11/23.
@@sallywest9932It’s a shame it’s not used enough in modern music. People aren’t even using real instruments anymore. Everything is sample computer generated now.
Anyone in 2024? Right now Dionne is here in Brazil for her One Last Time tour and I literally just came back from her show an hour ago. This lady is unbeatable! She still got those killing vocals and this was the last song she sang (I cried like a babygirl😭😭😭)
The way Gladys looks up and smiles at each singer marveling at their talent and reveling in the music just brings tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. Then she absolutely blows us away at her own talent and vocals. Often we forget that these amazing singers are music loving fans just like all of us.
Just attending a 50th college reunion with friends. 50 years of friendship-how lucky are we to have shared the good and bad times of life. The health scares, the family deaths, the death of classmates, but we are still here and have remained connected, even though we live in 4 different states. That's true friendship!
At 60 years of age, l've never experienced this type of friendship with anyone, yet I can totally feel the power, emotion, and conviction behind it. Truly beautiful ❤😊🤩🥰
6042,I've experienced friendships like this ( and I'm crying as I type this ) 2005 I was in Iraq with the Texas Guard at Camp TQ fighting against insurgents there and me and my battalion were going through pure hell. LOL. We all had a very-STRONG-bond in our battalion,guys were saving each others lives,a true-BROTHERHOOD. Had my good friend Ssgt Martinez save my life while we were conducting a raid on a home in Iraq. Thank you again Leonard Martinez. I now miss that bond and friendship MORE than ever. LOL. A bond and friendship brought together by a shared experience. I've listened to this song 7 times already,I guess it triggered some memories from long ago. God bless.
This song was a charity single for AIDS research and prevention in 1986 where most artists were distancing themselves from the epidemic. Dionne was a pioneer in every way. love!
Eternal, and amazingly, still fresh after all this time. Four beautiful and extremely talented people who give unending pleasure to anyone wanting or needing it. Thanks to each and every one of these superstars.....
Dionne, Elton, Gladys, and Stevie Wonder gave a legendary performance of "What Friends Are For". Their voices blended together so effortlessly, creating a beautiful harmony. Watching them have a great time on set, smiling and laughing with each other, just added to the magic of the performance. The energy they brought was unforgettable! We, Filipinos look up to these musical icons and love them, and this collaboration between four legends just solidified that. It was a testament to the power of friendship and music to bring people together. Thank you for the timeless music.
Buried my beautiful 38 year old brother some years ago -all his friends gathered at the funeral someone brought a boom box and played this song for my brother Jim at his funeral , this song is truly iconic in every way -“that’s what friends are for” is and will be legendary for many many many years to come thank you Burt Bacharach for writing such a masterpiece and thank Dionne Warwick sir Elton John , Stevie wonder and Gladys knight for creating such a magnificent singing iconic song.🥀
May this legend be resting in peace thank you Burt Bacharach for being the genius that you were and still are, your beautiful music will live on forever RIP❤️
Cindy Bemiller, I'm referring to the unmatched, inimitable, unique, second to none peerless Gladys Knight. Like Bruce points out, she starts singing at 2:44.
Look at those facial expressions, this is not simply acted, the pure Love, happiness, respect and adoration for each other's talent shones through each pore and note. Absolutely love to see this, very moving to me, personally. 💙
What a tremendous, timeless gem. I remember around 35 years ago traveling on a bus during peak hour one morning. The bus was packed full of commuters going about their daily business, then this song came on the radio. The bus driver cranked up the volume and suddenly the atmosphere on the bus changed. For a few brief minutes every single person on that bus forgot about what they were doing or thinking, and became lost in this sweet, euphonious masterpiece. The entire bus was silent and people began looking around at each other as though they all possessed a common understanding, and for a brief moment in time, we were all bonded together in blissful harmony. Then we got off the bus and went about our day, with what I like to imagine, a slightly different perspective of the world. A moment I'll never forget 💙
@@sarakirk9542 actually in the radio i am quite confuse if if its her and Elton John is singing coz Gladish voice sounds like a midway voice between a man and a woman.. sooo unique and powerful..
david morin you’re so right when we lose a good friend in our life we keep them alive in our heart and throughout the memories and you said it 💯live your life to the fullest blessings to you and yours always
I remember listening to this song as a kid too, especially after the rain, purple sunsets. The sound of their singing just warms your heart and cradles you to sleep. It was magical to experience being alive listening to these legends. ❤
They didn’t get the message. How is this industry going backwards in everyway? This was considered pop. Such a shame how the industry is lying to us about what good music is considered today.
Dionne Warwick's 'That's What Friends Are For' is an absolute classic! The combination of her powerful vocals, the heartfelt lyrics, and the collaboration with Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Gladys Knight creates a timeless piece of music that resonates with the true essence of friendship.
30 years later and this song still gives me chills and gets me choked up- especially towards the end when Gladys gives it her all. I really feel sorry for people that didn't grow up during the 70's and 80's when artists were truly artists and sang really meaningful songs. What happened to it all?
Floyd Brennan i am so fortunate to have grown up in the 70's and 80's. These were the two best decades for music. Period....true talent right there. Beautiful, just beautiful...
I wish I grew up then. Because now I'm stuck growing up in a generation filled with trash music. I listen to 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music, and I really agree that it's much better than what singers crank out now. You both are very lucky to have lived through such a time where music was blossoming and blooming and when it would touch your heart and make you cry or make you feel proud for who you are, or whatever its goal was. From all the information I've gathered, music used to be much more creative, but now it's just kinda getting to be the same thing over and over again. Real talent used to present itself and show its face... but now it remains in the dark, hidden and alone.
Songs nowadays sound like they are just talking. They are more wordy. Back then, the songs mostly were about emotions, passion, and Instrumental stuff! Not auto tune. There are some good songs nowadays but they are few and far between.

I'm an 80's girl, back then we listened to music with our parents. Today i can't watch music with my kids because of nudity and explicit content.
@@nickcaps5630 This is a prime example of somebody who spent most of their life inside and away from others as a child and didn't really know how to interact, upon discovering the loving and fun communities of social life and friend groups, they decide they want to be known by everyone as a cool person and have many friends that admire them and give them attention. However, because they spent a lot of their time on the internet and away from other people while not learning social rules and norms, they approach groups and people wrong by saying or doing something looked down upon and are told that what they did is wrong (most of the time in a good way but not always). Now this is where they hit a fork in the road, they either learn what they did was wrong and admit to it in order to become better and accepted by others therefore eventually forming into a person who connects with people positively and continues on to better things, or they lash out at the people who told them they were wrong because they were told no in a mean way or had parents who never declined them; So then they assume that the people who told them they did something wrong are the bad guys and their enemy.
Sadly, we no more have music like this in this our time - voices very harmonized; passing good message; appealing to emotion. Their expressions, smiling faces, thrill me the most . Kudos to these oldtime legends.
paul emmanuel I completely agree with you, tears come in my eyes when I hear this song that has a real emotional appeal. I love all Bacharach melodies for that reason too ! Nowadays music has no more soul, no more real talent, just pieces of s..t ! 😬😢
Watching this video feels like rediscovering a piece of my soul-every note brings back memories wrapped in time, flooding my heart with joy and nostalgia. It’s as if the music taps into an unspoken language that only my heart can understand, making me feel both alive and at peace.
Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight are both looking-GORGEOUS-and-SEXY-in this video. LOL. Nice cheeks,pretty smiles and teeth too. Lord have-MERCY !!! LOL.
100% my mom used to sing this song all the time brings tears to me I miss her so much she was my best friend and she always made me smile every time I was down
Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder ❤ These 4 together are magic. Voices are in perfect harmony together & moved me to tears and Stevie on the harmonica just adds to this classic. I add this song to every playlist.
Had this playing on the radio when I left the navy in 1989 driving up the m5. Made me think of all the friends I had made in my time on all the ships I’d served on. Reminded me of my wedding day in 1985 and we just celebrated our 37 anniversary 💗💗💗
You have all the reasons to be emotional...a second song as this one , does not exist....The meaning of a whole life - having friends to love and share , to meet as often as possible , to have fun and never let this amazing feeling die....
They have 38 Grammy Awards and 77 Billboard Top 10 hits between them. What an awesome collection of talent! In 2023, "That's What Friends Are For" still sounds awesome!!!
This song should be locked in a time capsule, greatest song of all time. It was good back then, in the present and in the future. A timeless piece no matter what decade/century you're in.
My sentiments exactly. They all sound absolutely incredible, but when Gladys came in, with that powerful, distinct voice, it just brought tears to my eyes. Elton was up there too!
This song came out when I was a little girl and I didn’t understand it. Fast forward to 35 years later and I now I know the powerful message to it. It’s brings tears to my eyes when I think of friends I have lost.
today sadly this world has forgotten what real friendship is.. what it means to count on someone and never forget those who have always been there for us.. still in 2022, this song is so powerful..and 80's is still the best generation
Imagine when they got older and gone one by one, the last one standing will be singing this song as a tribute with such emotion that will bring this song back to life for this generation
Listening to this makes me feel like my heart is healing from this painful world. Never knew how much I needed to go back to these classics to feel whole again❤😊
It's been ages since I've heard this. I loved it as a kid, and I still feel the same nearly 40 years later. What a great combination of musical talent, with a beautiful heartfelt message to the world.
Deus..farsa das galáxias fruto da imaginação que deu certo. amiguinho estrangeiro vá evoluir por favor também. estamos no século 21viu ja está na hora de crescer e sair da infância
I agree 100%...he has always been one of my favorite male singers, not only for his amazing range of pitch ( He can reach an E high natural ) that's a female soprano note,but also for the feeling he delivers when he's singing, doesn't matter what he sings...and also he plays many instruments... An amazing complete artist !
We are honoured and indeed, privileged, to witness four greatly talented people who share their talent with all of us. Long may they continue to do so!!!!!!
Hi there, Good evening.Seeing your profile put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears! Well I'm from Italy. But I am currently in Las Vegas NV. I'm new on here and I hope to hear from you soon Ok👍
Please forgive me for my poor English! I am originally from Russia, and I would like to express my admiration for these singers. When I listen to them, I feel that there is a special connection between them, a kind of magical energy that makes them incredibly happy at that moment. I would like to see more instances of that magical connection between people.
I had tears in my eyes while listening. So true the words for those we Love , whether we get the chance to tell them or not. Intention from our heart never goes unheard whether we know it or not here on earth. That is my belief. Each to their own. Light and Love To All

You’re right on the mark! Gladys is such a national treasure.
So true!! And her voice is off the charts! 🤩🤩
Beautiful woman, and beautiful powerful voice as well 😍

Gladys was so sweet in this. She has such a beautiful smile.
Loving these oldies music everyday ❤❤
Them putting Stevie's harmonica in the song was the best decision they could've done!!! It shot the song into the stratosphere 🚀
That's what I'm talking about bro.
...oh c'mon with harmonica or without!
Absolutely fab!
That makes me cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@aquamatch the whole song is beautiful but that harmonica coming in at the beginning and end makes the song majestic
I love the way Gladys Knight just smiles, waits her time and then absolutely knocks it out the park. Such a great song, beautifully harmonised and timeless.
I liked that too when she smiled
Love Gladys, too! She also looks so pretty here!
She’s so little and sweet and then her voice just blows you out the water!
Absolutely!
A perfect example of cheer for others, your time to shine is coming

Love that part.
All the entries are well done,
Love the whole song full as harmony and nice melody for ever.
Me Too !! 😢💓
Kudos to all the vocalists. But Elton John's performance was my fav. 😊
Incredible!!!!
Trouble is friends are hard to come by these.days. Most want something. So they are not true friends.
Just attending a 50th college reunion with friends. 50 years of friendship-how lucky are we to have shared the good and bad times of life. The health scares, the family deaths, the death of classmates, but we are still here and have remained connected, even though we live in 4 different states. That's true friendship!
Hello!!! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Fantastic that you all stay in touch and share the gift that is life, all the best of wishes from the uk share the love❤
No other singers sound like them. Their voices are so unique. I love it!
Well that's the way it used to be. Now they want them to sound all the same.
At 60 years of age, l've never experienced this type of friendship with anyone, yet I can totally feel the power, emotion, and conviction behind it. Truly beautiful ❤😊🤩🥰
Yes such great love and friendship for them Great music back then I am 68
Yes that's what friends are for. I have the best circle of friends who embodies this song. ❤

Definitely dont want to disrespect any of the other legends but she has thr best voice her.... Imo
Gladys sings right into happiness ....

For sure ✌️
30 years later and this song still gives me chills and gets me choked up- especially towards the end when Gladys gives it her all. I really feel sorry for people that didn't grow up during the 70's and 80's when artists were truly artists and sang really meaningful songs. What happened to it all?
Floyd Brennan i am so fortunate to have grown up in the 70's and 80's. These were the two best decades for music. Period....true talent right there. Beautiful, just beautiful...
I wish I grew up then. Because now I'm stuck growing up in a generation filled with trash music. I listen to 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music, and I really agree that it's much better than what singers crank out now. You both are very lucky to have lived through such a time where music was blossoming and blooming and when it would touch your heart and make you cry or make you feel proud for who you are, or whatever its goal was. From all the information I've gathered, music used to be much more creative, but now it's just kinda getting to be the same thing over and over again. Real talent used to present itself and show its face... but now it remains in the dark, hidden and alone.
Songs nowadays sound like they are just talking. They are more wordy. Back then, the songs mostly were about emotions, passion, and Instrumental stuff! Not auto tune. There are some good songs nowadays but they are few and far between.
I'm an 80's girl, back then we listened to music with our parents. Today i can't watch music with my kids because of nudity and explicit content.
Amen we grew up with the best music
This marvelous melody is an inspiring song that should be a hymn for everyone who really believes in true friendship
I agree.
Friends are hard to find these days.
This song still gives me chills. The voices are so talented. Absolutely love all the artists.
I agree! But for me when Gladys starts singing, with all that soul sound it just does something to me!;
I wish the world was still like this. What a time to be alive
@@nickcaps5630 This is a prime example of somebody who spent most of their life inside and away from others as a child and didn't really know how to interact, upon discovering the loving and fun communities of social life and friend groups, they decide they want to be known by everyone as a cool person and have many friends that admire them and give them attention. However, because they spent a lot of their time on the internet and away from other people while not learning social rules and norms, they approach groups and people wrong by saying or doing something looked down upon and are told that what they did is wrong (most of the time in a good way but not always). Now this is where they hit a fork in the road, they either learn what they did was wrong and admit to it in order to become better and accepted by others therefore eventually forming into a person who connects with people positively and continues on to better things, or they lash out at the people who told them they were wrong because they were told no in a mean way or had parents who never declined them; So then they assume that the people who told them they did something wrong are the bad guys and their enemy.
É melhor eu cuida da minha vida
Cada um
Sad to know that they don’t make these kind of music anymore, so much meaning, smiles, joy radiating , smiling like you are supposed to 😔💕💕💕💕💕
pure joy
Dee this are wedding son
Ikr 😞
Nowadays no body knows what’s a real love from a friend 🤦♀️
Feeling nostalgic. Time passed, we grew up, shit happened, and nothing is the same again
Sadly, we no more have music like this in this our time - voices very harmonized; passing good message; appealing to emotion. Their expressions, smiling faces, thrill me the most .
Kudos to these oldtime legends.
paul emmanuel You are so right ❤️❤️
Their chemistry made this song so beautiful :-)
Agree with you friend.. It so deep
paul emmanuel I completely agree with you, tears come in my eyes when I hear this song that has a real emotional appeal. I love all Bacharach melodies for that reason too ! Nowadays music has no more soul, no more real talent, just pieces of s..t ! 😬😢
Yes that's so true. This was real music and classic. Still the best
Watching this video feels like rediscovering a piece of my soul-every note brings back memories wrapped in time, flooding my heart with joy and nostalgia. It’s as if the music taps into an unspoken language that only my heart can understand, making me feel both alive and at peace.
This song brings tears to my eyes, the older and wiser I get. True friendship is something to be so grateful for❤️❤️!!
Legal
Hi. My name is. Lorrie that is so true. I miss. My my best friend we had so many fights we had good time and bad times
Agj

I love how Gladys just keeps smiling and when it comes to her turn to sing, she completely nails it.
I love how she finishes 🥰
2:50 her work is so good she made them hug
is gladys the one in the shades
Yes!!! Yes!!! She is so pretty just smiling; then WOW!
Was thinking exactly the same thing. Gives me goosebumps.
Jeez-I cried. Again. Because this is one of the greatest songs of all time. Period.
So true! So true!!!
Yes i do cry too whenever i watch this clip,,,,,with a smile though...😅😉
This is how you write music. Instant classic.
God I miss the 80's
The 70s and 80s had such fantastic talents! What went wrong?
You have know idea how much i do too.
Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight are both looking-GORGEOUS-and-SEXY-in this video. LOL. Nice cheeks,pretty smiles and teeth too. Lord have-MERCY !!! LOL.
100% my mom used to sing this song all the time brings tears to me I miss her so much she was my best friend and she always made me smile every time I was down
So do i
Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder ❤ These 4 together are magic. Voices are in perfect harmony together & moved me to tears and Stevie on the harmonica just adds to this classic. I add this song to every playlist.
WehM
The big four the golden voice..
Oh that was Elton John & Stevie Wonder, theyre famous but don't know their face.. but not at this moment. ❤ 1982 year I born, thats why 😊
Why was the title only for Dionne? They're 4 of them out there. In 1985...1982 my birth year
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my, Stevie Wonder's voice here is pure gold.
Classic love it ...

"...for sure"
Everyone is singing great
4 Living Legends 11/06/24…God bless them. 🙏🏼
Yep what a masterpiece
Had this playing on the radio when I left the navy in 1989 driving up the m5. Made me think of all the friends I had made in my time on all the ships I’d served on. Reminded me of my wedding day in 1985 and we just celebrated our 37 anniversary 💗💗💗
Congratulations💖
must've been a good life mate
Hoorah!
Congratulations
Parabéns felicidades ao Casal.....toda sorte de benção ao casal 🇧🇷💚💚💚

@@billygotclout4389excelente!!!
Don't know why, but this makes me a little emotional. Such a great song.
A little emotional? Me A lot!
You have all the reasons to be emotional...a second song as this one , does not exist....The meaning of a whole life - having friends to love and share , to meet as often as possible , to have fun and never let this amazing feeling die....
It's the melody. Composer found the way to reach your soul.
I 2nd ,that EMOTION 🎶

I love you Mom, wherever you are in Heaven Thank you for dedicating this song to Gloria and I on our wedding day 30 years ago
Robert Phillips ❤️❤️❤️❤️
lots of love for everyone
Oh my, the way Stevie comes in right after the harmonica …chills!
They have 38 Grammy Awards and 77 Billboard Top 10 hits between them.
What an awesome collection of talent!
In 2023, "That's What Friends Are For" still sounds awesome!!!
They're all legends..
Elton also has 2 Oscar's for songwriting, and Stevie has and Oscar for songwriting too..
Elton also has 2 Oscars and Stevie has 1 too!
This song should be locked in a time capsule, greatest song of all time. It was good back then, in the present and in the future. A timeless piece no matter what decade/century you're in.
Yes for sure
Trouble is people are not friendly anymore.
When Gladys Knight starts to sing I get goose bumps. What a voice!
It doesn't get any better than the incomparable Gladys Knight. Phenomenal!
Out of this world! What a talent!
I love her voice and her happinnes by singing with friends
Me too
The empress is fantastic
I get goose bumps listening to Glady's Knight verse, Damnnn!! That's an authentic voice mehn..
My dear friend,lost her battle with cancer.She passed on 3/6/24 Keep smiling,Keep shining in Heaven 😊🌟
SHE STILL EXIST
So sorry 😢❤
She’s still here
MY SYMPATHY.
sorry to hear that mam
I absolutely love Gladys Knight's part; she has such an amazing voice. They all do.
Agree. To bad she's more of a notiery.
Omg me too ♥
My sentiments exactly. They all sound absolutely incredible, but when Gladys came in, with that powerful, distinct voice, it just brought tears to my eyes. Elton was up there too!
They are all pretty awesome
She is a legend
Stevie wonder has the voice of an angel. His vocals in this song are so amazing
The harmonica is even better❤
👁😍👍🙏🧖♀️😇🇫🇷
❤❤my birthday twin Stevie love him
I also love Elton's part, it's like Stevie the angel and Elton comes to break everything
Soooo beautiful!! I was thrilled with so much talent, thanks for sharing ❤️
This song came out when I was a little girl and I didn’t understand it. Fast forward to 35 years later and I now I know the powerful message to it. It’s brings tears to my eyes when I think of friends I have lost.
A.I.D.S.💔
COVID-19💔
I was 15 when this song came out
I think of my friends too who have been part of my life.
I lost them in the sense that we all drifted apart through the years.
Same thoughts 🥲2022
today sadly this world has forgotten what real friendship is.. what it means to count on someone and never forget those who have always been there for us.. still in 2022, this song is so powerful..and 80's is still the best generation
Imagine when they got older and gone one by one, the last one standing will be singing this song as a tribute with such emotion that will bring this song back to life for this generation
Im in tears now
😢😢😭
@@bhabedolorito7894 linda música 😀❤😥
@@andibahri751 me too..
Don’t do that to me! 😢😭❤️
Gladys Knight has one of the most gorgeous smiles I've ever seen.
so true!!!
True
I swear she could pass for Kelly Rowland’s mother
from Philippines 💯 so beautiful!
Gladys Knight is a pretty woman and really good singer
Listening to this makes me feel like my heart is healing from this painful world. Never knew how much I needed to go back to these classics to feel whole again❤😊
this world has gone nuts hopefully one day there will be some normal times
Jai ressenti la même chose que toi. Ces chansons m'aident et participent à guerir mon petit cœur 💫
MUSIC FOR YOUR SOUL & SPIRIT!!!!🤎🤎🤎
Agaping love 🎉
The world is us, and we are the world. We created it like this: Americans, French, Russians, Chinese, Germans, etc.
Greetings from Russia.
It's been ages since I've heard this. I loved it as a kid, and I still feel the same nearly 40 years later. What a great combination of musical talent, with a beautiful heartfelt message to the world.
Fab mix
December 2020... Gladys gives me the chills when she sings! Look at her smile when she looks at Stevie!!!
🇧🇷🎶
Love too ❤
Gladys was the smallest of the four, but she was beastly.
Gladys Knight💖💖💖
She was so amazed! I felt she really really enjoyed and felt him blow that instrument. That was so amazing!
It’s just raw talent, all four of them! Listening to them sing send shivers down my spine. They’re all so good. I wish we could have more of this.
Stevie Wonder’s voice is a gift from God to the world, actually all four singers here are great.
Yeah, and he plays the harmonica like he sings. He's a blessing.
Yes, Elton ending it, powerful

Deus..farsa das galáxias fruto da imaginação que deu certo. amiguinho estrangeiro vá evoluir por favor também. estamos no século 21viu ja está na hora de crescer e sair da infância

Chills.
Gladys smile just lights up the room and then the power that comes out of her throat is so insane.
Love these living legends. 😍😍😍

Wareick has a long neck
@@marpar3971 yep. Great for nibbling.
Absolutely. I love her voice (Gladys).
yeah. mesmerizing
Stevie Wonder's voice is absolutely incredible
Anwyko Trim god given gift, Stevie’s the greatest 😌
Yes its true
stevie is great, but imma object one of the greatest singers.... :)
His harmonica playing is fantastic-
I agree 100%...he has always been one of my favorite male singers,
not only for his amazing range of pitch ( He can reach an E high natural ) that's
a female soprano note,but also for the feeling he delivers when he's singing,
doesn't matter what he sings...and also he plays many instruments...
An amazing complete artist !
At 48 yrs old this song still brings tears to my eyes as it digs deep into my soul. I really wish I knew what it feels like to have a real friend!
All the four singers are legends and great in their own way but my favorite is Gladys..and what an endearing smile she has!

I get goosebumps when she starts singing. She has the most incredible smile.
Hello how are you doing??
Hello dstat i thought i was the only one who felt that way
You can say that again, what a great song
Hi there, Good evening.Seeing your profile put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears! Well I'm from Italy. But I am currently in Las Vegas NV. I'm new on here and I hope to hear from you soon Ok👍
Please forgive me for my poor English! I am originally from Russia, and I would like to express my admiration for these singers. When I listen to them, I feel that there is a special connection between them, a kind of magical energy that makes them incredibly happy at that moment. I would like to see more instances of that magical connection between people.
That's song is 38 years old, and it's still a classic!
And I'm 38 years old .It sounds like it was recorded today.
I could not agree more. Still a classic. A song always worth listening to. Reminds me of my greatest friend my late wife. 😂
It still holds up today!
😮
Am a year older than the song but still enjoying it,❤️28 July 2024
I had tears in my eyes while listening. So true the words for those we Love , whether we get the chance to tell them or not. Intention from our heart never goes unheard whether we know it or not here on earth. That is my belief. Each to their own. Light and Love To All

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe, I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way
I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
Whoa, good times and the bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
🖤💙
