The title "Empress of Soul" was originally given to Gladys in the late 70s by a Japanese critique. Last year, the prestigious Society of Singers honored Gladys with the Ella Award. Part of the honor included reaffirming Gladys as the Empress of Soul. Also, she's been recognized as the Empress of Soul in international publications. I'm glad you're enjoying the Empress in this clip!
Her rendition is more mesmerising than the version way back in the '70's. Pure class and pure joy. Can all others singers please note that this is how you sing authentically. Thank you dear Gladys,we are all blessed to share your amazing gifts.
Dear Gladys, you are simply beautiful . This sounds even better than your original version . Just love you and your amazing gifts and always feel blessed when I hear your voice
One of those voices that missing in today's music, another ALL TIME great! I saw Gladys performed at the Flamingo and at The Orleans in Vegas......AMAZING
God bless you, Gladys Knight... amazing... I never get tired of hearing your wonderful voice and interpretation.... Regards from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil..
Wonderful ability to sing in the groove that matches the great backing of the band.....very difficult to but.....But this is a class act.........the art of timing as a singer !

simply the best, gladys doesn't need to scream to get her point across she simply has to sing and the emotion and feeling is there. 5 stars!
Her voice sounds as good today as it did 30 years ago. I love her, she is the best.
Her voice is much thicker and richer than 30 years ago. She really is the best.
Is there anyone out there better than Gladys Knight?!?! Her voice is classic.
I am in awe of this woman. She received the biggest pop of the night.

Gladys, “the Empress Of Soul” Is beautiful Inside and Out, and that Voice of hers is really a Gift from God.
I remember this Dive Live show. Patti, Gladys, Cyndi Lauper, Joss Stone, Jessics Simpson. It was the last year the the Divas Live shows were any good.
Exactly

@boomer2k5 of course it was on purpose, she was "back phrasing", as someone called it, live since the 70s
@vlovesrafa
I wish if you could post the rest of this show that include the other singers as well....thanks
@lcbrec she is my Empress of soul for shure!!!
pretty good rendition..i dont know if she was doing it on purpose, but she was like a measure behind the music the entire time.
HEY I HAVE NO PROBLEM OF GLADYS HAVING THATS KUDOS TO THE JAPANESE CRITIC
gladys never lost it, she still got it. she's only 2nd to aretha
Are we going to ignore she was 60 at the time?
@hiddenmgr That is so true, but don't forget Chaka Khan, she can still rip them notes
head phones only!!!! is a requirement!!!!!!
out of all the ol school divas aretha patti whitney mariah gladys etc. gladys night is the only one who voice is still as powerful and sounds as good as it did
Uh yeah...sophisticated singers can "back phrase". They are able to sing behind or ahead of the beat--and they do it on purpose.
This will always be Barbra's song but Gladys did a superb version.
where was this performance from?
@DaxShaw Babs wishes she could sing like Gadys
@loki2stunt I doubt that lol. Barbra isn't a soul singer. Gladys has more soul but Barbra had more range.
