5.0 out of 5 starsThe Best Thing Ever Happened to Music
By A Customer on September 12, 2000
Format: Audio CD
I really hope that one day, when all is said and done, and the musical gods come down to mother earth to execute their musical rapture, that the heavenly and soulful sounds of Gladys Knight and the Pips will be the theme music for that magical ascension into the pearlie gates. When I hear the smooth yet contentious nature of Neither One of Us, I am reminded of how, at age 15 when I first heard this song, I knew that I was being taught a lesson about life that I had yet to visit. I have payed that visit over and over again. And as a result, I know now what I didn't know then.
But when I hear those famous words, "I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine," I've truly come to know and feel the level of commitment and selflessness that defines the essence of love and desire. It doesn't matter who he is or where he is, she wants to be there with him at all cost. Kinda like my mama and daddy.
This album will eventually evolve into classical music, as the struggles inherent in the music are classical. I am proud to say I heard it all when it was new, and only too glad to share it with the new. Gladys Knight and the Pips is a musical institution, a phenomenom that will be warming hearts, and soothing souls long after mother earth has vaporized. Their musical magic will keep going On and On.

4.0 out of 5 starsSoul Survivors
By Peter Uys HALL OF FAME on December 30, 2003
Format: Audio CD
This is the absolute crème de la crème of hits from Gladys Knight and The Pips' in the late 1960s and up to the middle 1970s. Of course this long-lasting soul outfit has been a hit machine for many decades and this collection is anything but comperehensive, while at the same time containing their most enduring chart hits.
There's the achingly beautiful I Heard It Through The Grapevine and the equally emotional Neither One Of Us, the rousing Friendship Train and the magnificent number 1 hit Midnight Train To Georgia. My other favourites include The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me, and I've Got To Use My Imagination.
Gladys Knight & The Pips started their hit-making career in the early 1960s and in my opinion reached their peak in the period from 1968 to 1974 that is covered by this album. If you just want the very greatest hits by this legendary soul band, this album is ideal. For those who would like a more comprehensive set, I recommend The Essential Collection (1999) that also includes their graceful version of The Way We Were/Try To Remember and the passionate I Don't Want To Do Wrong from 1971.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy Favorite is Gladys
By Jay R. Adler on March 23, 2006
Format: Audio CD
I grew up on the fringes of Harlem, New York where in the sixties the Black community spoke of their musical heroes on a first name basis. Everybody in my neighborhood knew who Stevie, Smokey, Aretha, Diana, Marvin and Gladys were as last names were superflous and unwarranted and even misdirected as we came to love and appreciate the Motown artists as the prodigies that they really were. Gladys Knight and the Pips-Greatest Hits is my favorite Motown related compilation of a single group because Gladys is probably the best in the business. She is gospel with overiding soul mixed with rhythmn and blues and a slow sexy rock that flows over lyrics like a smooth choo choo train. My favorite entries on this disc are I Heard it Through the Grapvine which although Marvin had a problem dealing with a cover, it's more than legitimate as a Gladys single, If I were Your Woman which cries a beautiful scat and the venerable Midnight Train to Georgia which besides being a mega hit is just a damm good song so hit the repeat button on your player and the moonroof down. In 1977 I was attending a sales convention in Skokie, Illinois where artists playing the Mill Run in Chicago stayed at my hotel. Gladys was doing a gig there and I used to see her in a bathrobe eating eggs in the coffee shop with her family. To this day and at the age of 55 I really wish I would have gone over there and had a rap with her just to find out what makes her a musical treasure to me. I'll never get that chance in my lifetime so I bought her CD as above and I'm having that talk vicariously.

5.0 out of 5 starsShe really delivers a soulful medley of her greatest hits!
By A Customer on July 24, 1999
Format: Audio CD
Gladys has always been my favorite and this CD reminded me of why. Even as a child I knew that she sung from the soul. I listen to this in the morning before work and it gets me pumped for the day and in the evenings on my treadmill. The mix between the fast songs and the slow ballads glide you through the full range of her tremendous vocals. This is a great CD and the last 2 songs on the CD give you a little bit of Gladys we don't see very often. Great CD!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsWhy Should I Be Different?
By Eclectic Revisited on November 8, 2004
Format: Audio CD
So far, everybody gives this CD 5 stars. I feel the same way. I remember hearing the group's first hit in 1961, "Every Beat of My Heart". I still have the song on a 33 1/3 vinyl of the greatest hits of that year. And what guy can't be moved to being told, "You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me". "Midnight Train to Georgia" from 1973 remains a classic (though it was almost Midnight Plane to Houston). Great songwriting and great heartfelt delivery; Gladys always sings the truth. It's all here. Five Stars and Change.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is Gladys and the Pips at thier greatest!
By A Customer on July 17, 1999
Format: Audio CD
As always, Gladys Knight & the Pips have a soulful song for every occasion. No matter what kind of mood I'm in, whether I'm riding on the Midnight Train or the Friendship Train, this collection can handle it. I definitely enjoy this group of hits from one of the great soul divas and her famous family back-up.
