| Description: |
Written by Jim Weatherly, and produced by Don Law. It was first recorded in 1973 by Ray Price from his album You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me. Ray Price took the song to number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart on October 6, 1973.
In the early- to mid-1970s, Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded several of Weatherly's songs, and in 1974, they dipped into his catalog once again with their rendition of the song. Their version, titled "Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me," reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 that spring and topped the Hot Soul Singles for two weeks. The single was certified gold by the RIAA for sales of one million copies. It also reached the top 10 in the United Kingdom.
Other covers have been done by Dean Martin, The Persuaders, and Andy Williams to name a few. Using a backing track from the Gladys Knight & Pips version, I made my first recording of this oldie.
Thanks for listening to my cover.... |
