I just heard Miley sing it also! I think this beautiful lady has passed now, I’m going to Google her! I have never heard it before, it’s beautiful as sung by both women! A heartbreaker! 💔💔
Thanks miley cyrus for introducing this song to people like me who rely on some decent singers of today to take us back to classics by singing them ...
Miley blew me away when she sang it! Truthfully, I’ve listened to three different versions and I like Miley‘s the best! She even beat Gladys Knight! Sorry… just calling it as I heard it! Miley is a very interesting and talented woman!!
I discovered this song while watching a British TV show called “The Vicar of Dibley” and it instantly joined my rotation and became a favorite. Miley Cyrus is one of only a handful of artists who could adequately cover it and she absolutely killed it.
This song has just made me cry and cut my soul in half. Not sure where its been hiding all my life, but the pain in her voice is absolutely phenomenal... what a masterpiece 👏
Absolutely brilliant. I played this to my daughter years ago. Nowin her 40s we still laugh at this song and Tell Laura I love her. Funny how some songs take us back years in time.
I saw my love Walking down the aisle And as he passed me by He turned to me and Gave me a smile Then the preacher Then the preacher The preacher joined their hands And all the people The people began to stand When I shouted It should have been me Oh, it should have been me You know it should have been me Baby, how can you do this to me You made a promise That we'd never part Then you turned around And you broke, Lord, my heart Now you're standing there Saying, I do Holding hands With somebody new When you know that It should have been me Oh, it should have been me Oh, oh, it should have been me Baby, how can you do this to me Then the preacher, whoa, yeah The preacher asked that There be silence please If any objections to this wedding Speak now or forever Forever hold your peace And I stood up and said It should have been me Oh, oh, it should have been me Jumped out of my seat and screamed It should have been me Oh, oh, oh, hey You're blowing my mind People, believe me That man is mine It should have been me No, oh, oh, you know It should have been me Oh, ho, it should have been me Oh, ho, somebody call the police That woman down there Is a doggone thief It should have been me It should have been me Oh, oh, It should have been me... (Songwriters: Normal Whitfield/William Stevenson)
Just heard Miley sing this on Jimmy Fallon. Yvonne Fair was brilliant and Miley hit it out of the park. Miley needs to include this on an album. Fantastic singing from both women.
In the album version of the song, which is only slightly longer than the single version, right at the end Yvonne sings "It should have been me. Get your hands off of me" 😂
This song is a true CLASSIC! We need the next soulful big voice of Idol to stand up and bring this song to life again! (Shut up all u racists with ur crap comments below, trying to rant on when us normal people want to hear good soulful tunes, bugger off & find somewhere else to rant on about crap!) appreciate the music!
Yvonne Fair - A memory of 1975 made me search the title bc I had not heard it in years (48). Then I found this. Thank you for sharing your voice! Such beauty audibly & visually is not frequent. I last heard this at ‘George’s Crisco Disco’ in Memphis 1976. Your performance here I will revisit often. ❤️
Yvonne here expresses the pain and sorrow that romantic love as, opposed to real love, inflicts on so many people, go girl, some super soulful singing!
What a voice. Known this song for a few years after it was played in a scene from The Vicar of Dibley (BBC comedy for USA viewers- see if you can find it to watch as you won’t be disappointed) and it’s fantastic. Perfect voice, perfect song, perfect emotion, just perfect. This lady would have been superb in Dream Girls.
I don't know what's better. The original version or the remake that Miley Cyrus done to embarrass Pete Davidson on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon? Either way not to take nothing away from Yvonne Fair song, but Miley Cyrus does justice to thus remake track that made Pete Davidson speechless, Jimmy cracking up and if someone ask her to perform a song, I bet she said, "Hold My Beer, Just Watch Me!!!" Miley's performance was solid gold hands down bar none she owns the stage and took that remake song to a whole new level.
I came here after watching Miley Cyrus sing this. My god, Yvonne Fair has such a beautiful voice. Rich, melodious, filled with colors of the rainbow. So talented. Miley's was an incredible (and hilarious) performance, but her voice doesn't hold a candle to Yvonne's. Thanks for sharing her singing this.
This song is wonderful because your mothers voice captures the emotions that the lyrics evoke. I remember it as being one of those songs that as soon as you heard it you were just craving hearing it again and in those days the shops sold out really quick and you then had to wait till more copies arrived.RIP Yvonne Fair
Wish someone had shouted this at my first wedding cos it should definitely have not been me, married now to a fantastic woman for 40 years,we all make mistakes should have listened to other people.
NEIL MARTIN omg I totally understand you. But been married now 15 yrs to second one where the first was only 13. But wished I met my husband first time round because I could have had children with him x
I don't believe there is a female impersonator in the whole world that hasn't lip synched this song on stage - this is one of those golden classics that you will never hear recorded again!
I love a strong soul voice... but this record is part of my silly childhood :) I truly wish Yvonne had been at my wedding (would have saved me a whole lot of trouble). It is (as always) what it is... glad I am smiling typing this... just a classic track rarely [never] played on my local airwaves but ingrained in my memory, TaDa !
I launched this trend which consists in writing under each new youtube video that I see where I am and what I am doing. I think it's a nice way to remind what I was feeling in the past and have good memories. Today is 11/12/2021, I’m in Valencia and I am studying. I accidentally saw the Miley Cyrus video and came here to hear the original song. What strength in that voice, mesmerizing! Where have you been hidden until today?
Love the song but I'm also eternally grateful that, despite my lifetime of failed relationships, I never have to say that it should have been me! Sometimes life is okay.
I agree, she died far too young. After I heard Miley sing it, I immediately went to hear the original, wow. They both did justice to the song! Yvonne died from cancer so very young… how cool of Miley because so many people are now listening to the original version!
I remember being at the wedding of the first of us to get married and her ex was next to me with our friend Jim who (very quietly) sang this chorus and we all had to stifle our giggles. We were ridiculously young to be fair......
Sitting here with tears running down my face. My God thank you for the gift if this incredible woman's soulful voice. I'll bet Etta James and Koko Taylor are feeling the same emotions I am right now listening to this. Now if you'd like to see an alternate version that has Milli and Vanilli rolling in their graves as I'm typing this. Search CZcams for IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME uploaded by Steve Bailey . It's a brilliant clip from Westward Ho. a bar in Puerto de LA Cruz Tenerife where Maurice & Alan (two brits) did three shows a week.
Just heard this for the first time ever by Miley Cyrus on jimmy Fallon . Needed to hear the original. How fantastic.
And now watch "Just your average wedding Congratulations Peter and Peter" lol
Yes!!
I just heard Miley sing it also! I think this beautiful lady has passed now, I’m going to Google her! I have never heard it before, it’s beautiful as sung by both women! A heartbreaker! 💔💔
Me too🙂
Omg that brought me here too!!
Thanks miley cyrus for introducing this song to people like me who rely on some decent singers of today to take us back to classics by singing them ...
SAME!
YES
maybe a tiny bit more that « decent » but i agree :)
You said exactly what I wanted to, but couldn't find the right words..lol
Let's tell it like it is.
Miley just announced she’s gonna perform this on Jimmy Fallon tonight I can’t waiiittttt
Just listened to it! She’s great
it was a great cover
Great cover. Hadn’t heard this song it forever. What a classic
Whose here after watching Miley Cyrus on The Tonight Show killing it with Pete Davidson?
I can't believe I've heard this song for the first time through Miley Cyrus of all people. And not only that, but her version was excellent.
Miley blew me away when she sang it! Truthfully, I’ve listened to three different versions and I like Miley‘s the best! She even beat
Gladys Knight! Sorry… just calling it as I heard it!
Miley is a very interesting and talented woman!!
@@TheNeworleanswoman you just had to sneak that stupid comparison in, huh?
Sorry! MILEY VERSION IS THE BEST!
@@malgorzatabujnarowski2078 Miles Cyrus would give a fortune away to have a voice like Yvonne Fair.
@@malgorzatabujnarowski2078
That's your opinion.
Many like myself disagree with you.
Rest easy Yvonne. 💗🕊💗
Never was a lyric delivered with such intensity. She was fabulous!! Yvonne Fair ,,,still sorely missed!
So right , MILEY CYRUS WILL PREFORM this at Fallon tonight! So excited
Real deal
Couldn't agree more ..... this is a powerful song.
I discovered this song while watching a British TV show called “The Vicar of Dibley” and it instantly joined my rotation and became a favorite. Miley Cyrus is one of only a handful of artists who could adequately cover it and she absolutely killed it.
I was looking for the Vicar of Dibley clip when I found your brilliant post!
She sang the daylights out of this song. You just felt her pain in every word. What a voice she had!
She certainly did
This song has just made me cry and cut my soul in half. Not sure where its been hiding all my life, but the pain in her voice is absolutely phenomenal... what a masterpiece 👏
Absolutely brilliant. I played this to my daughter years ago. Nowin her 40s we still laugh at this song and Tell Laura I love her. Funny how some songs take us back years in time.
Ye I wo thinkinf same,,, if id a kniwn my ex wo getting married, I would a stopped, it, along stiry,
Same here…
Thank you Miley! I’m obsessed with this song now…
one of those rare moments when the perfect voice finds its perfect song at the perfect moment in time with the perfect performance. timeless classic
jackspinner1 Absolutely Top Comment 💯
jackspinner1 Spot on 👍
That beautiful powerhouse voice!!!
Whitney Houston comes to mind
So true
I saw my love
Walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned to me and
Gave me a smile
Then the preacher
Then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people
The people began to stand
When I shouted
It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
You know it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me
You made a promise
That we'd never part
Then you turned around
And you broke, Lord, my heart
Now you're standing there
Saying, I do
Holding hands
With somebody new
When you know that
It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me
Then the preacher, whoa, yeah
The preacher asked that
There be silence please
If any objections to this wedding
Speak now or forever
Forever hold your peace
And I stood up and said
It should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Jumped out of my seat and screamed
It should have been me
Oh, oh, oh, hey
You're blowing my mind
People, believe me
That man is mine
It should have been me
No, oh, oh, you know
It should have been me
Oh, ho, it should have been me
Oh, ho, somebody call the police
That woman down there
Is a doggone thief
It should have been me
It should have been me
Oh, oh, It should have been me...
(Songwriters: Normal Whitfield/William Stevenson)
Never heard this song before Miley sang it. its absolutely fabulous
Yvonne did it better .
Vocals to die for. Wow Yvonne!
There is so much emotion in her voice that you would think it was really happening to her
Who’s here from seeing Miley Cyrus just perform this on Jimmy Fallon??
Me 😂💕💕
Meee
My mom had this on vinyl when I was a child! I'm 50 next week! I remember it from back then on the deck! Always playing loud wow! Takes me back...😊
I sing this every Saturday night after the lotto!

This is honestly such a beautiful song ahhhhhhh. Her voice, her pain, the lyrics.
Can’t wait for it to blow up again after Miley and SNL
Who’s here after Miley’s phenomenal performance??😍✨🔥
miley is really out there introducing iconic songs for the new generation, queen behaviour
Only one queen where this song is concerned .
How great that Miley did her tribute to this, I bet it will bring more views. Both sing it brilliantly
Came here after Mileys cover and I have to say they are both amazing
“Somebody call d POL-ce cos dat woman up deir is a god damn thief “ ... absolutely superb! This is one of the most underrated songs of all time.
ditto, young ones now don,t know what great music is, just an old fart i gess
In the album version of the song, which is only slightly longer than the single version, right at the end Yvonne sings "It should have been me. Get your hands off of me" 😂
Glad to see somebody else quote that cuz that's the best line in the song and I always wait to hear that line
I actually think the lyrics are "That women up their is a doggone theif!". It's a great line either way :3
@@withgoddess7164 Me too, It's wonderful.
This is when music was real. RIP. miss Yvonne
Outstanding bonjourno
Just found this and I can't stop cryin cause it happened to me in 1984 and I guess I never got over it
One of the most powerful and moving SOUL records ever made. Just close your eyes and feel the pain. PHENOMENAL STUFF.
Why is this kind of passion not in todays music? This matters ...
Because todays music is soulless throw away rubbish thats why.
You do feel her passion. Not many songs do that.
@rugbydazz I'm hopeful Streaming Radio may be able to accomplish this
... everything is a cycle!
Very true Steve.
Im here after i heared miley is gonna perform this on fallon show
Every wedding I go to, when they ask that question to the congregation, I hear this song. After all these years, every time.
Goosebumps!!!!!!
I’ve not heard this for years. Forgot how good it is. Love it ❤
Love this(the original) and Miley's cover. Fantastic song
Just listing to this and remembering it when it was released I’m 60 now and it’s still great
Yvonne, your voice and emotion just gives me chills. Incredible natural talent. R.I.P
Fantastic What a voice rip Yvonne Xx😘😉
Rip girl you never beforgot.x
@@lesralphs9200She might have been alright as a little backup,But She DidNot Have the Talent to Sang,Thats not singing.
this is probably one of the greatest songs of all time sung with true feeling .
They dont make these any more. Shame .
I fall in love everytime I hear this song it takes me back to a special time with someone who meant alot to me
Santa Claus?
Heard this many years ago
STILL WOW!! ❤
Like this version better

The Best, the very, best rendition!!! Should have been a huge hit!
lt was in the UK
Yasss! Yvonne... Emmerdale brought me here!!! Like when you found it :)

I was 14 when this came out. So typical of the era

Brilliant song sung by a brilliant singer so powerful
Every note she belted out entered me and left through tears. What a heavenly voice.

I love this song so much. It was amazing when it was first released, but even more amazing years later
Who's here after watching the Miley Cyrus version on Jimmy Fallon 🤩🤩😍
I am here cause Miley nailed it last night ! What a song ♥️ kisses from Greece
Yvonne here expresses the pain and sorrow that romantic love as, opposed to real love, inflicts on so many people, go girl, some super soulful singing!
here before Miley covers this. Mark my words.
Same 😂
I saw Yvonne Fair open for the Supremes several times in the 60's and never ever forgot her. She was amazing!
Thanks to Miley. Never heard this song or of Miss Fairer. Loving those raw vocals. Feeling them. Love my soul music🙏❤️😘🇿🇦😍
What a voice.

An emotional record that still sounds as good as it ever did.
I have heard others sing this song. This lady doesn't just sing the song , she owns it. Absolutely fabulous.
This song is a rare Jewel, is so Great...
I remember when I heard this a long time ago. This woman sang it from her heart, and it sounds like she had to endure it.
I have adored this song since I first heard it !!! THIS IS THE VERSION !!!!!!💖💖💖
One of the best performances EVER!!
Janet kay/silly games....Eddie holmond/hey there lonely games...best 2 solo vocals...but this is pretty good lol
This takes me back to a fabulous time
Wow you can really hear the passion and heartbreak in her voice .such a brilliant song .
This song must be over 40 years old but still sounds just as great as it did back in the day
song yeah,but video is like 1987-88
Never heard this before,but loving it now..what a voice on this lady.
Welcome who coming from Fallon tonight show

wow... man she makes you feel that song!!!
Agree Angeline. The emotion in her voice is so raw and so full of pain. . Makes me wonder if this ever happened to Yvonne for real.......

This is an early Gladys Knight song, Hear Gladys version it is all that. Pull it up on CZcams.
