This song was originally released by Ben E. King in 1963 and has been covered many, many times, most notably by Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones. Gladys Knight covered this and there are remixes by Leon Sylver, Lil Cee, Monikr, Paul Thomas, Red Top, and Tony Moran. Listen to clips of all the versions: www.trackitdown.net/track/gladys-knight/i-who-have-nothing-remixes/hard_dance/3961185.html
I think this is an interesting song to cover in this manner. I think her vocals are decent. The only remixes that I found to work were the Paul Thomas and Tony Moran mixes. The latter has that "I Luv U Baby"-esque riff. I found the other mixes to have very little life to them and they just didn't go anywhere.

Oh cool! I love Gladys... I'm not aware of her having had club mixes in the past.
