Review by Alex Henderson from allmusic.com:

Some Gladys Knight fans think that she didn't record as a solo artist until the early 1990s. But in fact, her first solo albums came in the late 1970s, when she provided 1978's Miss Gladys Knight for Buddah and 1979's Gladys Knight for Columbia. Neither album was a huge seller; only her most diehard fans bought the LPs. The singer's second, and self-titled, solo album isn't remarkable, but is a generally decent effort that ranges from R&B/adult contemporary ballads ("You Loved Away the Pain," "I Just Want to Be With You," "My World") to up-tempo soul-disco offerings like "You Bring Out the Best in Me" and "You Don't Have to Say I Love You," both of which would appeal to a Loleatta Holloway or Thelma Houston fan. Meanwhile, the vibrant, Earth, Wind & Fire-ish "It's the Same Old Song" isn't unlike something that EWF leader Maurice White would have produced for the Emotions in the late 1970s, and Knight's version of Leiber & Stoller's "I (Who Have Nothing)" recalls her dramatic 1964 hit "Giving Up." This LP, which she produced with Jack Gold, isn't recommended to casual listeners, who would be much better off with an anthology of her classic Motown and Buddah recordings with the Pips. But it's a likable record that is worth hearing if you're among Knight's hardcore fans.

Besides the song "My World", "I (Who Have Nothing)" by Gladys Knight is also one of my favorite songs here:



"Am I Too Late" by Gladys Knight is also found at this album which I posted earlier at:

The Best Thing That Ever Happened by Steve Lawrence

"The Best Thing That Ever Happened" by Steve Lawrence is one of my most treasured vinyl records.

It took me three years of waiting from Steve Lawrence's staff to get this 45 rpm single. To my surprise, the vinyl was autographed and dedicated to me by Steve Lawrence himself.

"The Best Thing That Ever Happened" by Steve Lawrence was composed by Jim Weatherly and was popularized by Glady's Night and The Pips.

Many thanks to my friend MF for remastering this song.
