[1] In 2026, the song was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its cultural, historical or aesthetic importance. [2] Gladys Knight recorded her lead vocals in a single take, with musicians including Bob Babbitt on bass and Randy and Michael Brecker on horns. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
