While Gladys Knight and the Pips spent large portions of the '60s, '70s, and '80s on the charts, this smart CD is the first attempt to compile high points of their tenures at various labels (Motown subsidiary Buddah, Columbia, MCA). While Knight proved equally at home with smokin' church-bred R&B (the original "I Heard It Through the Grapevine") and uptown pop (an unfortunate medley of "Try to Remember" and "The Way We Were"), she was most effective on plainspoken tales of everyday people. That's the reason "Grapevine," "Midnight Train to Georgia," "You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me," and "Save the Overtime for Me," recorded over a 15-year span, sound so much of a piece. --Rickey Wright

 Great CD! August 4, 2008
This CD was beautifully wrapped and got here in time. It was great to listen to all these old songs again. It took me back. Gladys Knight definitely has a great voice. She certainly never received the credit she deserved. She's one of a kind. I heard she's still touring. You go Gladys!
Owning This CD Is "ESSENTIAL!" January 19, 2008
This CD was a gift for my mother for Christmas. I have owned it for about 10-15 years. I grew up listening to the best music, like Gladys, The Spinners, Sam Cooke, The Temptations, Four Tops, etc. My mother loved music and passed that on to her children. This is a great CD with sooo many great songs on it. Gladys takes you back and truly makes you appreciate the old days. Everyone should own this CD. I consider it a MUST OWN!
Essential Gladys and the Pips December 30, 2007
Outstanding collection of their earlier work, great harmony, wonderful songs and the great voice of Ms. Knight, five stars.
 Great classic collection! May 13, 2007
What a great collection of the goodies from Ms. Gladys and the Pips! The collection spans years of wonderfully raw sound and solid emotion. I love to play this in the car when stuck in traffic in a bad mood. By the time I get where I'm going I'm mellow and singing along. If I Were Your Woman, Midnight Train to Georgia, Neither One of Us, The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me, and The Way We Were rip my heart out and have brought me to tears a million times. The vocals have a raw "been there, know the pain" edge, and when you hear that voice you know exactly who you are listening to. What a great addition to any cd collection!
A very good compilation of Hits! March 6, 2007

This CD is a good choice for those who love real good, nice and smooth 70s Soul music. "I've Got To Use My Imagination", "Try To Remember/The Way We Were", "Best Thing Ever Happened To Me", and other great songs are included.
