Sister in the Name of Love -- I Will Survive -- Gladys Knight

[@BronxBob]

Glady's should have won an Emmy Award for her Television performance of this song. She sings a story and it is riveting. She's simply divine.

[@wendyboneil4495]

She’s so fabulous. It’s an enormous joy to listen to her. A lifetime of great memories.

[@wendyamsterdam8482]

I’m so glad this song is still here. She is the best!

[@higgybaby1]

I witnessed her singing this song during the "About Love" tour in 80/81 and it was the first time I saw her performing. I'm still in AWE!!!!

[@mareelovely]

What I really loved about this rendition is that you really got experience the lyric without the monotonous disco beat. You almost feel like this was the way it was supposed to be sang.

[@romanigypsy7219]

I frist heard this bk in the 80s an i swear Gladys knight version has always stayed with me. I think its the best version. She arranged so much more depth to this song.

[@blueskye6372]

Eyes raining. Fabulous Gladys.💜☀️🎶

[@kkey1030]

I have this on an old VHS tape in my attic. I LOVE this peformance. When Gladys is done, you will declare, "that song has been SUNG.!" The definitive performance. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this.

[@kishastokes9920]

Yessss I love her I saw this for the first time when I was like 9

[@OnSeanZionSUPERchat]

I'm watching this entire concert right now!!! I've had it since I was a young child, and it STILL hits home every time. The entire concert is off da chain!!

[@martinespinosa9858]

No one could ever sing like she did beautiful ❤️

[@darnellfoster7392]

Simply great!!! The best rendition of this song. I really understand it now.

[@brandim.9347]

Her voice though...!!! It's like the richest of chocolates with 80% cocoa! I grew up watching this. ♥️ it

[@gloriawhite9074]

Gladys Knight, takes my breath away. Please take this magic ride with me!!!

[@yojr8213]

I'm in my 40s and STILL remember (what I call) the Gladys version of this song! IMHO the best version to this day!

[@mightabeenking]

i used to watch this recorded on a vhs tape as a child. i'd watch it over and over. i'm still amazed at gladys' voice. she could sing me a recipe card

[@michaelpriest]

She owned that song, best rendition I ever heard ;-)

[@Lindow]

Absofuckinglutely epic! One of my all-time favorite performances by anyone!

[@DaPhatPhantom]

I saw this when I was 15 years old and believed then and still do today, this was the best version of "I will Survive" ever performed by any artist. I fell in love with Gladys Knight this night back in 1986. Thanks for the great quality and memories.

[@YESSYBUG]

I was always a fan but when I watched this at age 14 I knew that even calling this woman a legend was just beneath her. She is an angel on earth...I used to watch this with my aunt she is gone and in her memory I watch this every year on her birthday...WONDERFUL

[@decordan]

The best part of the song has always been, "I learned how..." And, beautifully sung by Miss Knight... Superb!

[@enjoyit08]

Thank you Ms. Gladys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LianhmingthangaLiannghawr]

01:58 the Song starts ❤️ the best version !

[@nothinghumanlovesfor]

wow, i love this, i use to have this concert and lost it soooooooooooo many years ago, and finded it here, now i can go to heaven, thank u for this

[@jankins24]

I remember watching this special with my family BACK IN THE DAY! This is timeless... thanks for the post!!

[@warayurgetv961]

Pssst... Super luv this version...🥰🥰🥰

[@manifestdestiny85]

Amazing emotive ability. The one and only magnificent Gladys.

[@JeffTheGent]

A masterful example of song-styling!

[@MsSoulMusiq]

Gladys Knight is the TRUTH. Some of these young blood new singers who think they're doing something need to sit & take some serious notes. You can literally feel every word of this song. She is a Master of articulation & visual story telling through her delivery! GENIUS. Much respect.

[@trupoetess]

I remember when this aired! Gladys and Patti killed it! Timeless singers

[@blueskye6372]

And still with us 2020 💜☀️🎶👍

[@LeeSummersBroadway]

Gladys provides a stellar education in how to tell a story and reinvent a song. Her rendition of "I Will Survive" is one on my favorite performances of any artist of all time.

[@alederhos]

She is simply the best. Maybe the best vocal performance ever.

[@yojr8213]

Now that I'm an adult and can listen to (and not hear) the lyrics...gave such a new appreciation for the original version but Miss Gladys was so much better since I can now FEEL the lyrics

[@higgybaby1]

This is why I just LOVE The Empress of Soul Gladys Knight. Can't cha just feel all the emotion in this song. The best version of this song.

[@MzCandyCane1]

Go Gladys - she has a voice that many don't have

[@usicmay]

Saw this one time in (I think) 1986 on HBO. THRILLED that I was able to find it, so much beautiful emotion. Thanks so much!!!!

[@sherwinkempis7062]

She's a legend and great diva

[@yojr8213]

thank you for this...i remember seeing this show when i was kid. OMG-D... I never forgot it...and here it is again...

[@DannyStafford]

The best ever version of 'I Will Survive' ...... ;)

[@jayboy231]

thank you so much for posting this...i thought i would never see this again....HBO would do us all a service to re-air it.

[@MzShugr]

Thank you so much for adding this....I LOVE this video. True musical Giants

[@onotad]

I´ve always loved this video.

[@godsgifttoearth]

Gladys KILLED this song! love it

[@ohnoyouaint]

[@TheSisterStrong]

[@broadie1972]

Truly Amazing............

[@franjamison77]

all due respect to Gloria Gaynor, Gladys took this song to a different place.... just outstanding!

[@wendyamsterdam8482]

This is brilliant singing

[@wendyamsterdam8482]

Still brilliant….

[@onotad]

One of my all time favourites.

[@dacwtw]

Awesome - awesome - awesome!!

[@popeye12money]

I love Gladys, she is amazing, May God continue to bless her.

[@uniforman]

[@neil663]

[@philanna38]

[@GermanCastromoreno-e7m]

Lo máximo es 😊

[@neokid0213]

u betta slow this shyt down ms. knight and make it a heart tugger! i luv this!

[@tkafitness]

Bravo!

[@joshuamcdowell5782]

I would love to see a "Sisters in the Name of Love" television special with Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia and Jill Scott in 2014. That would be awesome.

[@RratsArtStudio]

Amazing.

[@Orbot]

Excellent performance!!

[@higgybaby1]

SHO U RITE! However, she did receive a nomination, and she won best variety show and Patti won best performance at the Cable Ace Awards. She didn't go just unnoticed, but this performance was one of the greatest ever on tv. And this should be on DVD by now.

[@williammaxwell2607]

And that's how it's done,Love me some Gladys

[@Reneshelly]

Now that is how you are suppose to sing that song!

[@Teedwy]

Her beginning; I learned how to get along....... is AWESOME : ) Independently me again. Ha Ha!

[@seancheesman5433]

Bravo

[@pauloluizdasilva1]

uma das mais belas voz e a melhor interpretação desta canção

[@assi24hrs]

El de los mejores interpretados y por su duración de poco mas de ocho minutos-

[@megamapagmahal]

Dionne I LIKE YOU!! GREATT

[@StubbyCub]

@thebear777 I completely agree, my Dad had this on Beta and I would rewind this part over and over!!!!!

[@neepl8]

GO ON GLADYS!! ROCK THEM HEELS GURL!!

[@juandamyles9797]

This is my first time hearing this version. It's good; More like storytelling. Gloria Gaynor's became a battle cry. It's like, Honey I'm over it and I survived.

[@shawngraham1837]

i love gladys so much and im a young dude.lol but i really do.

[@megamapagmahal]

aissst pls SISTERS have a REUNION THIS WILL BE A HIStory on us

[@pablo7498]

the best

[@manny73330]

That's better than the original, gives it more depth than some dumb disco song.

[@humbertocardoso5071]

TOTALLY AMBELIBEBLE TRUTH THIS TIME

[@FrankEisBaer]

why the cd touch sold out with this version ...only vinyl in store ?

[@patriquefortson7731]

@PRNeneChulo I've been looking for this forever. Please convert & upload entire vid.

[@imori2008]

Simply wonderful! I saw it at the time. I think I still have parts of it on tape. I wonder if there is a DVD of this. Does anybody know anything about it being released by HBO??

[@sixfobrutha11]

@usicmay Yo, I saw this too when I was about 10 in 86!!!! Yes it was HBO : ) My dad "taped" it and my mom used to play it over and over! Got tired of it, actually. Lol, but seeing it now as an adult, I see the GREATNESS in this performance!!! These youngstas aren't gonna have shyt like this to reminisce upon. Only Nikki Minaj and Rihanna!!! : (

[@lalagonegaga]

Wtf did I just watch. This is insane.

[@bon1225]

I have it on BETA and have no BETA machine! That's worse, and can't find anywhere to get it converted!

[@classiseverything2me]

Pass the tissues please!

[@megamapagmahal]

i think if you watch this three Performing you will erase the performance of SPICE GIRLS

[@zevilgehannivani256]
