The 70's and 80's were the best era for R&B soul music
📠
FaX!!
As one blessed to live thru it, you won’t get no argument from me. The 70s and 80s were great.
What Gladys is saying, we still love each other, we know it ain’t working but neither one of us want to pull the trigger first. If you grew up in the 70’s you know what Gladys is talking about. I created a painting to this song. I give this reaction 4 hearts ❤❤❤❤
It's so hard to explain related sentiments to someone who hasn't yet had the experience. Hopefully...she'll never know what it feels like to be at a relationship's end--considering divorce.
Sheeesh. Kids.
I tell you.
Exactly! It doesn’t have to be a toxic relationship but 1 that maybe both people has outgrown each other in some form or fashion but still loves each other!
This isn’t about Toxioits about growing apart . Or you can say this was marriage of convenience ( marrying the right person who you believe will be a good wife or husband because who you really wanted was not available or not the type that be family oriented . This is a 25 year end or marriage song . There is no mention of inferiority or abuse just that feeling is gone . Now she check out By the time I get to Phoenix or I will survive

"You don't know
what love is;
until you've learned
the meaning of the blues.
Until you've lost a love
it hurt to lose.
You don't know...what love is."

you don't know how my heart breaks, for a love that cannot yet never dies. Until you've met each dawn with sleepless eyes. You don't know@@heavydown2582
LOVE Glady Knight and The Pips ! She still is singing, and she still is beautiful !
One of the most iconic groups EVER!! Love your reaction! Gladys was the ish!!!!❤️
She's 1 of the greatest singers of all time check out some more of her music
This is a grown folks relationship song Ashley
Gladys is a gem & she still sounds amazing
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥Gladys Knight's Voice Is Sooooo Soulful,Strong And Soooo Sooooothing To The Ear.❤..Another Great Reaction Miss Ashley👍🏾💯👍🏾💯
The Empress Of soul 🎶🎤
This is my era 😊 We had great love music for every occasion
We sure did
Your reaction to her sound and the group is what we wanted, not the critique of the song. The power and strength of that golden voice was not mentioned once.
Right. But...these youngsters are always ready to tell you "what you NEED to do"; even when they haven't yet had that experience themselves.
"Youth is wasted on the young. Wisdom is wasted on the old."
We gotta come to terms with the fact that these youngins just ain’t gonna appreciate these classic artists the way us older heads do. I usually enjoy Ashley’s reactions, however she missed the mark with this one.
WAIT! All of y’all so far under this post are stretchin’. Ashley is good with her reactions. And she regularly recognizes the music in detail in many ways; the voice, the lyrics; the music sound or arrangement. You can’t tell her how to react on her reaction videos. She has to authentically react. Which most all of us appreciate. Ashley says she often goes back and listens to the songs a second time after these reactions to see what she misses in the song and does discover things she didn’t notice something sometimes during the reaction for whatever reason or another. Ashley is younger but she has appreciated much of the music of generations before hers. Music from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and forward. She does a really great job. Now, if you wanna point out something that you would like her to pay attention to more closely, like Gladys’ amazing vocals, suggest that, bring it to Ashley’s attention but don’t unfairly mistake her for not appreciating the music or telling her what to do on her reaction channel. The reaction is to the music, whether the lyrics, the artists style, the message in the song, the vocals, and or the lyrics, any or all of that. Check out some of her other reactions and you’ll see she does this. And she’s really good at speaking on whatever aspect of the song. She’s got bars, funny, wise, all with personality. This young woman is going places with this gift of hers. Please recognize.
Just say it folks…she talks too much! You lose all the emotional impact of a song when you keep breaking in with all these comments.
lead by example that's all
the older generation is dysfunctional
these days
if more of the older generation would call out all the foolishness going on in the black community then maybe the younger Generations would listen and learn
Ive been here a few times! This song talks about with men and women go through all the time! This is probably my favorite song by Ms. Gladys Knight & The Pips! One of the greatest R&B/Soul groups of All-time! I went to conceet about several years ago to see Gladys and she is simply one of the best soul singers of all-time!
The beauty of this song is at the end she is finally resolved to the end of the relationship and tells her man "farewell my love, goodbye". A bittersweet song of love and heartbreak.
Yes!
Very well said.
But...the "uninitiated" (those who've never lost the game of love) WOULD NOT understand.
@@heavydown2582 Facts. The truth is you have to have lived, loved and had your heart broken to appreciate love songs. Which is why the young hear these songs as corny or irrelevant. Just give them time though.
@@helgar791
Yes indeed.
There's a reason "why" the youth of ANY generation eventually adopts the music of the preceding generation/s.
Years ago, (80's) I saw a bumper sticker that said:
Life gives you two choices:
"Live...and learn."
or,
"Die Stupid."
This arrangement HAS NOT changed. You either, "learn...as you live", or....you, "die stupid".
Far too many people do not learn as they live; and, as a result of living foolishly--end up "Dying While Stupid".
Classy soul music from the Empress of Soul !
They were a great R&B/soul/funk family music group that started out in the 50's & had hits over 4 decades. They had a lot of great songs such as "Midnight Train To Georgia", "Every Beat Of My Heart", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Nitty Gritty", "Friendship Train", "If I Were Your Woman", "I Don't Want To Do Wrong", "Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me", "I've Got to Use My Imagination", "I Feel a Song (In My Heart)", "On & On", "Love Overboard" etc.
The definition of "Classic".
You have an excellent memory. Every one of those Gladys Knight & The Pips songs have a definite impact on folks who love music.
"Daddy Could Swear," the "Claudine" soundtrack, "I Hope You Dance" and so many others as well.
Leaving after being with someone for 20 years when it wasn't toxic isn't easy. The two just grew apart. They parted on good terms.
Hi Ashley, Ms. Gladys Knight is the epitome of "CLASS!!!" It is no wonder that she is known as "The Empress of Soul"...Her consistency throughout the decades sets her apart & puts her in a league of her own!!!
To me she is not singing about a toxic relationship- she is singing about a relationship that has lost its spark and two people who still love each other but more like friends now and they are going through the motions- that's my interpretation.
This song is about my relationship with my kids mother. I'm friends with her to this day and talk about each other's relationships lol. We have love but we could never get right together.
Gladys Knight has a powerful and distinctive voice.
I hadn't thought or heard her voice since "That's What Friends Are For" (1985). Then, 30 years later I was listening to the radio driving home from work when without warning, I hear Gladys Knight's voice on a song I've never heard before.
I had to know if it was an old song or a new one (2010's).
Her soulful and powerful voice was a refreshing gift amid the top 10 songs of that time.
In fact, the last song by her on an album I had to have was "Save The Overtime (For Me)" from the Visions album by Gladys Knight & The Pips (1983).
Thanks for posting this reaction video of "Neither One Of Us", Ashley. Listening to her voice is like seeing an old friend after not seeing them for many years.
The LEGENDARY Iconic Ms Gladys Knight and her Pips ❤❤❤❤❤
Baby, keep on living and you'll see that there are times when a relationship/friendship can exist on the memory of love, especially when children are in the mix or decades invested. Sometimes folk grow, evolve at different rates or maybe one won't when the other does. Everything isn't always that cut and dry.
Facts! Every word of it.
But...try explaining this to a teenager.
"Youth is wasted on the young.
Wisdom is wasted on the old."
George Bernard Shaw
Ok. It’s not about toxicity it’s about falling out of love. She never said he didn’t love her or wasn’t good to her or him . Often just grow apart. And this is what this song about . They don’t want to hurt one another and to break up the family. If I want a toxic break up song I suggest I will survive or by the time I get to Phoenix by Isaac Hayes
I don't think it's about toxicity, it's more luke they've just fallen out of love with each other, but may still love each other. . . . if that makes sense.
Gladys Knight was the first singer that stopped me in my tracks... I was walking through the room where mom and dad were watching TV... and there was a beautiful angel singing with the coolest backup singers I had seen in my 8 to 10 years of living... I just stopped and stared at the TV.... I have loved her ever since.......
Love and emotions are not as simple to dismiss as you have expressed in your reaction to this song. If it is that easy to walk away then it is a sign that you really didn't love the person in the first place. This song is a classic because many of us can relate to the pain of realizing the relationship is over before you actually leave. The song is not about staying necessarily, it is about the pain of saying goodbye. The term "Toxic Relationship" does not always have to be ascribed to all relationships that break up. Sometimes you simply outgrow one another and it's time to move on.
Perfectly said
Right you are!!
Elegantly stated, too!
People who haven't yet had a particular experience oftentimes find it hard to relate to that experience---in a meaningful way.
Yes!!!
One of the best singers ever. One of the best songs ever.
You should check out her singing at Garth Brooks kennedy center honors. Just staggeringly good
Not toxic....sad, melancholy, nostalgic, reality hits.
This was a very special time in my life…1970, beginning high school, walking into the school cafeteria at lunchtime, and this was playing on the jukebox where they had every hit. It was the beginning of a love affair with G Knight! Thx Ashley!❤
That’s why I’m here, I feel loved and appreciated!🌹❤️
This song is great because you have to stick threw the thick and thin in marriage
Exactly. People end marriages today because they don’t have material things. You are supposed to find away to make it work
"Sticking With It."
Such a foreign concept--for someone in their twenties. 🤣😂
This song went to number 1 on the charts!!! She is one of the best female singers ever!!❤️
Hey glad for the good music 🎉
We had the best music ever.
Absolutely marriage is FOREVER..These is no leaving. That's whats wrong with relationships now. 😊
Speaking from experience, sometimes there's no fault on either side. The situation is just what it is. Love this one from Gladys and the Pips! Music from this era always spoke from the heart and soul, positive or negative!
One of the greatest soul singers from my day
Gladys is a rabbit hole you need to explore...its Gold!!
She has one of my favorite female voices of all time.
Gladys has more Soul in her voice than anyone in history!
This was written back in a completely different culture. Now we have all types of media, advising people to leave doomed relationships. I don't mind Ashley passing on her wisdom. I do wish she had been less condescending about it though, and more original in her message. I've heard her exact words about a hundred times or more.
Gladys Knight was to me one of the Greatest soul singers ever and there were a ton of Great ones love her voice her style and she is An Awesome woman also
This is reality for a lot of people break up all the time until you find the right one
Nothing toxic about it is just one of the greatest love songs ever
One of the Top Twelve Most Beautiful and Sad Songs of All Time. The Live version is wonderful also.
I REMEMBER when I was in my 20s and was so sure I KNEW everything about life...
My favorite is MAKE YOUR A HAPPY HOME from the movie Claudine
Oh, and check out Gladys on: If I were your woman! 🙏
Great Song from one of the greatest voices ever. Also great advice. Not always easy depends on many factors and often other innocents. I love you reactions.
This song gets me every time. In all these years I’ve never been able to listen to the entire song.
This song isn't about a toxic relationship. It's about a relationship that has changed and they know they're not happy. They still love each other, but realize there isn't a future but no one wants to be the to say goodbye.
I remember as a child in the 70s my mother would listen to this song all the time, my mother went through some things with my Dad and it was over his foolishness of staying out all night and a affair, I didn't fully understand at that time why she would listen so much to that song but as I grew older I understood....my parent's always loved each other but in life there are always roses with thorns....when I hear this song, I shed a tear for my mother's endurance of heartbreak, but I am happy to say my parents test of love for each other survived and right to this day they love each other more than ever. This year, in July, they will be celebrating 59 years of marriage. They made it because of God and true love.
Thanks Mama Ashley. I needed your words today. Really striggling with a situation like in that song. Id be listening to your heartbroken playlist on shuffle repeat.
Legendary!!❤I love your videos and your reactions. You remind me of my cousin.
This was among the last songs GK&TP recorded for Motown, so the song may have had a different meaning for them.
It's so interesting to see (and hear!) how younger people "think" that they will respond to a situation that they have yet to have.
It's similar to hearing them talk about how they would "cuss out the overseer"--who told them to "get over there & pick that damn cotton!"
Pffft. Kids.
Exactly...
My sister I Love you reactions they are priceless.
Gladys is one of one ! She is so good.
It’s not toxic. It’s just a relationship that’s not working.
PREACH!!!!!
This song is not about a toxic relationship, it's about two people who have a past and ending it is difficult because you have conflicting emotions
I loved this album when I just wanted to chill. Awesome!! 😊
💯💯💯
The Pips are THE best background vocalists!
Not everything is as simple as 'toxicity'. If someone can easily leave a long-term relationship with someone else - and not just someone who was fun and convenient for a while - I have to question if they (the leaver) ever really loved to other person. There's a lot of gray in life and some degree of sacrifice is necessary and appropriate in a healthy and loving long-term relationship. Naturally, narcissistic abuse and physical abuse (among some other things) need to be escaped when possible, but we all make compromises in relationships, or don't yet have the courage or resources to move on appropriately at times. Or we remain alone.
Love, in the end, is not just some feeling, but is the act of meeting needs.. If someone else is incapable of meeting some of your needs, but you can meet some of theirs because you care deeply for them, that's not automatically toxic. The older you get the more you realize both that things are harder in practice than in theory and that thre are things of value we can take from not getting our way immediately all the time. Life and human beings are much more complicated than that.
Intro is sampled by AngieStone -No more rain 👌🏼
Another Very Beautiful Big Hit By Her is "You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me".
Gladys and the pips snag the Grammy Award for Best Pop duo or group for this song and then get another the same night for Best R&B duo or group for the classic Midnight Train To Georgia
This song about me and my ex, we are friends to this day and co raised our kids, but we are toxic together. We fought it out but it was better this way.
Gladys is such an icon.
70s really mastered the poignant beauty of the goodbye-not- working-out song tho.
This song will make you cry 😢
Keep living. Beautiful relationships end too...
🧡 Jill Scott sampled this for her song No More Rain (In This Cloud). (Edit) I meant Angie Stone! Sheesh! I think I got mixed up between this and another video I was watching. 🤪
Angie Stone too
Umm that’s Angie Stone not Jill Scott
@@marcswift4462 Right, idky I put Jill Scott! 🤪
Like her reactions..
But too many times when this generation reacts to a song... You get a lot of commentary on the content or the subject matter of the song... And not quite as much reaction to the artistry.. composition... The music itself... The vocal performances... Etc...
We already know toxic relationships are not a good thing.... Many of these Songs are about real things.. that go on in real life.... When you listen to some contemporary songs... Do you have a speech prepared about the low behavior that is being described explicitly in the song???
Cool. Please play, "I heard it through the Grapevine" Marvin Gaye. "L-I-V-E ". Thank you young lady. Thank you.
Classic song, click click.
gladys is so damn cute, its just not fair she can sing that good
Nope Nope Nope Ms. Ashley...FOREVER work it out period 😊😅
Daryl Hall & John Oates did a very good cover of this song on their Our Kind Of Soul album
wow! I really wished you could have enjoyed and appreciated and thus reacted to the talent and soul of Gladys as opposed to expressing and needing to express the obvious hurt and pain you must have experienced yourself.. Am glad however, that now you are willing to wait on the Lord to bring someone to/for you. grace and peace to you.
I actually agree with you, Ashley. As I’ve observed your reactions, it is clear that you are truly able to employ mindfulness in every aspect of your life. I truly admire that self assurance in you. Not everyone felt as good about themselves, especially in the 70’s. I had very low self esteem in my marriage, not in my career. During that time, and sometimes even now, companies were forced to hire Blacks or lose Federal funding. More often than not, females were hired to kill two birds with one stone. That often meant she was the breadwinner. The husband had a lesser salary or none at all. In my case, he resented me, but we stayed together. I was hoping, praying things would work out. Eventually, after playing this song so much, and enduring his infidelity, etc., I did as you suggest 40 years ago. He passed away last year married again for many years.
The intro to-- Neither One of Us is also the intro to No More Rain by Angie Stone. Check it out it's a great song.
Please check out *thats what friends are for* by Elton John, Dione Warwick, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight 💯👍
Maybe, (just maybe) one day, Ashley, you might decide to interact with your audience--and give us a taste of what music sustained YOU--before you started your channel. But, until that day...I always wonder what songs from your generation have a similar effect on you as the music from your grandparents generation. I'm curious to know. It's hard to believe that there are no songs (less than 30 years old) that move you the way these 50+ year old songs do.
If so--what are they?
Let us hear some of the playlist gems from YOUR generation.
I'd like to see how far outside your generation the music you love can travel. 🤗
This is actually a dope idea ! I’d name it A “ PEEK INTO THE PLAYLIST” and just go through some old gems of my generation and some that I’ve put on from others 🔥🔥💓💓 I appreciate you 😌🥰
@@TheOfficialAshleyReacts
I think your viewers would like that. It would give them some insight into what, (musically) has sustained you, over the years. Us "old heads" wanna know what has "held you up" ; when times are hard.
Thanks for responding; and,
...I enjoy your channel. 🙏🏽

People who've never "lost" someone that it hurt to lose--wouldn't understand.
As Billie Holiday sang:
"You Don't Know What Love Is."
Relationship Advice: "God Won't Bless a Mess!! Props to you for telling ladies to get out of toxic relationships. Not sure the relationship they're describing is toxic, but maybe they havent found a way to work together as a couple. There is something between or someone that is getting in the way of them being a team. Instead of breaking up, maybe they need to figure out exactly what the issues are, and if they can move forward. But you're right, if something is going on that is just not right, or immoral, like if one of them is also seeing someone else or even married, then they need to break the "soul ties" and get the heck out of the relationship before they get hurt even more.
Love Jones. Brighter side of darkness
I have been waiting for you to do some Gladys. But, you have the right song but the wrong video. Find the one where you get to see the PIPS doing their thing. You will enjoy this song so much better....look it up, peace
Gladys came from a time where relationships actually had to WORK through hard times and quitting wasn’t the go to answer to unhappiness or dissatisfaction within a relationship. Modern women today slap “toxic” on anything that makes them feel uneasy or unhappy. They don’t make women the same anymore. Crazy thing is Ashley is now married, I feel bad for her husband if the expectation is to be happy all the time. Modern woman don’t fight for anything, except to be “free” while being oppressed by jobs and college debt. Make it make sense. Gladys was telling the truth in this song.
This song has nothing to do with being Toxic. This song is about two people in love who's relationship did not stand the test of time, and because they've been together so long and have love for each other they are finding it very hard to deal with the fact that they will no longer be in each others lives. They are scared of life without each other but both of them know its over, they just don't have the strength to be the one to say it. She finally says it at the end of the song to free him of the responsiblity of saying it. Like, someone has to say so I guess I will. Its a sad song because its not toxic. They actually care for one another and have been trying to make it work.
Hi Ashley I really love your reviews. How does one go about sponsoring one?
😆 so easy to say... not at all easy to do....
I know today that don't mean anything but most peoples was married or getting married back then and you never wanted to give up on the one you started out with that's what Glady's is talking about you said it yourself men didn't mind telling women's how much they love them
Listen to if I were your Woman !
Woah! Ashley, I am surprised by the comments on this thread. I think what you meant by toxic is that if you believe the relationship has ran its course that it is toxic to prolong the exit that you’ve recognized or acknowledged is inevitable and necessary. I don’t think you were implying the relationship itself was toxic. The staying past the time of knowing it’s time to let go and move on is what makes it toxic for the people involved when they delay moving on. But they going off in the comments! I get part of what they are saying about long term love and hard to just let go etc but it’s the way they are trying to explain it to you or say you don’t have enough experience to understand. Like, what? Why? Keep up the great work Ashley!
Times were a lot different back then.
Listen to the way your generation thinks.
And this is a story of what she was really going through.
Yep, you’re young. Listen to the song AGAIN!!!!
Here's Gladys singing this tune @ 75 yo!
😁🔥 Preach Ashley 😊 Where is your relationship coaching degree. Tfs!
i played this for a guy i was dating in the 70s
Please can you react to Gladys - Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me!
Being that you dig this then pull up Angie Stone - No More Rain in This Cloud
