Classic Of The Day III

Today's classic is from Gladys Knight and the Pips,

The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me

I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me


One of the best slow jams, and one of the most soulful voices in classic R&B... cry it's so beautiful!

Oh, and her voice too. A more soulful voice would be hard to find.

Another one by her is Neither One Of Us (Want's To Be The First To Say Goodbye)" That song speaks many truths... I remember when my wife and I were having problems, and I felt this way. It's very true.


(BTW - Things are much better now between my wife and I)

This verse & its delivery shakes me up every time, no matter what i'm doing; and don't EVEN get me started on Neither One of Us ...

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown
