#35 Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye) -- Gladys Knight & The Pips (1973)



“One of the great break-up songs in soul music” was one comment I found for this one online, and it sums things up pretty well. This was the group’s last big hit before leaving Motown records, and it’s a high point both for the group and for songwriter Jim Weatherly, who’s also responsible for their post-Motown classics “Midnight Train To Georgia” and “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me”.
