		So it was difficult to imagine that Gladys Knight would have had the ability to make a song such as Marvin Hamlisch's "The Way We Were" an object of delight rather than contempt, as she does on I Feel a Song.
		If Knight does not have the technical brilliance of Dionne Warwicke, she has a breadth of talent which exceeds that of the only other fl pop singer to achieve a comparable level of success.
		Knight has an impeccable rhythmic sense that has fed most of her hits and was the basis for the success of "The Nitty Gritty" and "Friendship Train" but is given little space to work out on I Feel a Song.

		Knight's vocals that have been a model of consistency over those years as she has seemingly been able to negotiate the current popular music terrain in ways that all of the aforementioned Divas have not.
		One of those "young folk", Gary Brown, is behind the boards for Knight's "If I Were Your Woman II", which while sharing the same title of her Motown era classic with the Pips, is not a remake of the original but lyrically reminiscent of Prince's "If I Were Your Girlfriend".
