This…. Was music. I grew up in New York City listening to Motown and R&B my whole life. This song is a “standard “ of Great Soul Music. Paul Messina, New York City
If the re-recorded Motown version was released as a single it would have done really well and would have become hit because of the better arrangement, production and more mature vocals of GK and the Pips, but unfortunately it was first released on a compilation titled The Best Of: Gladys Knight and the Pips (Anthology Series) 1973. That compilation featured never-before-released material including the said Giving Up version. Additionally, if they recorded Giving Up at Buddah records, where they were at their peak in terms of the soulful sound that their music had, it would have also become a hit for them.
This is one of my all time favourites and yet it is rarely (if ever) mentioned in her discographies. There is so much emotion conveyed in this song. Gladys gives it everything she's got.
Giving Up was my first musical introduction to the passionate, dramatic and hormone fueled emerging teen years. As such, it was an epiphany, and still tugs at my gut!

The song that gave birth to my favorite Wu Tang Clan song. God bless Gladys Knight and The Pips.
"Lord he's all I've got". Yes that part!
underrated track, awesome. Found it from a Wu tang sample.
We played give it up at my tenth birthday party, I'm 71 now still living in Atlanta.
GIVIN UP IS HARD TO DOOOO.DAMNNN
This song has a sacred spirit of a love that should have been. It goes to the deep part of the soul . Gladys Knight's best song by far.
