I don’t remember how many times I have watched this. She is fabulous! No fancy band, no elaborate custom just a boom box and her voice... this is truly a singer!
10 years later just came across this for the first time! That woman's got a powerful voice. And the video really deserves more views. May be considered rewarding the title slightly also including cover. Hope she still doing her thing! Respect
This is a beautiful moment of humanity, when we can all stop running for a minute to notice and appreciate another human giving people something to stop for. Let’s feed each other’s souls and live in peace.
I can't believe I just happened to discover this. It's like winning the lotto or seeing the eighth wonder of the world. The more I watch it the more amazed I am and I love the train whistle and the amazed looks on the peoples faces.
Imagine the title of this video was An Almost Splendid Vocal Performance in a New York City Subway Fails When Singer Changes Lyrics. Absurd, right? Best wishes to Alice Ridley!
What a lovely, GOD gifted, fabulous, talented soul. Ms. Alice T. Ridley, without a shadow of a doubt, GOD is going to take you place your never would have imagined!!!!! Your voice is so vibrant, rich, strong, beautiful, there is no stopping you now!!!!!!!
I lived in Manhattan for a decade... and my office was just off the 34th St. station. Saw and heard Alice several times. Really attention-catching in person.
I would rather hear her sing this song than the original artist. This makes one want to go to New York, hang in the subways, just to wait to hear this beautiful lady sing. She is solid gold platinum supreme. She is singing her heart to support her children. What a love she must have for her children. Her children are so fortunate to have such a wonderful mother as this lady. Mahalia Jackson would have thrilled within her soul to of have heard this lady sing.
I Love this Video so much😊Alice Delivered this Song🎤I Think Ms Gladys Knight would be Proud too👍🏽Continued Blessings🌹Beautiful ♥️Queen Elizabeth Thomas-Bryant🙋🏽♀️
Well done ALICE RIDLEY and what a fantastic voice and rendition to Gladys night and the pips MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA You are a star in the making. Good luck and a big hug from LONDON ENGLAND.

What a performance... So many people standing in amazement and not a camera phone in sight, just watching and appriciating the talent in front of their eyes.
I have a million things to do today, but I just can't find the strength To just walk away from watching and listening to Alice Tan Ridley sing, she's an amazing woman with such a beautiful voice it's like a magnet that just keeps pulling me back

This is Gabourey Sidibe's mother. I love her! Heard her sing many times in the subway. She is AWESOME!!!
@@Abymilde Wait. What? What did Veronica say that was _trying to be funny?_ She speaks the truth. Alice IS Gabourey's mother.
Wish I heard her live in the NYC subway when we visited

Simply " FANTASTIC " !! Almost made me forget about " Gladys Knight "" Well done Lady....
I feel like people don’t stop to enjoy absolutely beautiful performances like this anymore
I have been singing this song with Gladys all of my life and NOT ONCE was I ever touched or crying. Ms. Ridley is truly singing from her heart.
I can't believe I just happened to discover this. It's like winning the lotto or seeing the eighth wonder of the world. The more I watch it the more amazed I am and I love the train whistle and the amazed looks on the peoples faces.
Very well said.
You're a hall of fame in my book;) awesome voice....
She is amazing! Just as beautiful as her daughter, and my God what presence! You can see she has her audience mesmerized....

All those people did not mind missing their train good voice
Nice cover. I would also recommend watching The School of Rock do their version. Those kids really kill it. Young Eleanor was superb in the lead.

@@Lolomikagi Alice ridley
This woman is proof of the Divine Presence.
THANKS for sharing this piece of magic with us! Truly AMAAAAAAZING voice! Definitely up there with the GREATS! Aretha Franklins, Houston, Gladys Knight ....its a TRAVESTY she hasn't been signed?? wtf??
The fact that we could always feel that trip to Georgia is appreciated
Chills and more chills what a voice ❤❤❤
Alice, you took it to the extreme.
She's the star of the movie "Precious" mother. The award winning main character named Precious is her child. Talent must run in their genes.
What a performance... So many people standing in amazement and not a camera phone in sight, just watching and appriciating the talent in front of their eyes.
This makes me cry every time. Feel it too much! Wow just rolls you over and his you in tha deepest part of your soul
Perfect vocalist. Check out an 1981 original song written by Johnny L Jones sung by Alice Tan Ridley called ( Waiting For Your Love ) on TH-cam
A rich and soulful performance.
I have a million things to do today, but I just can't find the strength To just walk away from watching and listening to Alice Tan Ridley sing, she's an amazing woman with such a beautiful voice it's like a magnet that just keeps pulling me back
She did that better than the original
