#119 ALL I NEED IS TIME Gladys Knight & The Pips
By 1973, Gladys Knight and The Pips were increasingly disenchanted with the ever more obvious pecking order in operation at their label. While Motown was busy grooming the now solo Diana Ross into its star, others were left feeling like a lesser priority. Amid this growing discontent, Knight and The Pips completed the 'All I Need Is Time' album for the record company. 
Its title track was issued as a single that year. It was a song dealing with a protagonist coping with the end of her relationship. Brad Reneau wrote the ballad, as well as a 2nd track on the LP entitled "Oh! What A Love I Have Found". The writer also used the name Bud Reneau.
"All I Need Is Time" was produced by Joe Porter. The single reached #28 on the American R&B Chart. By year's end, the vocal group had switched labels to Buddah Records, where greater commercial success awaited Gladys Knight & The Pips.
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
