"Giving Up" was written by Van McCoy. Van McCoy is also the written of the famed song, "The Hustle." "Giving Up" was first recorded and written for Gladys Knight in 1964. Then it was rearranged and recorded in the 70's by Donny Hathaway and finally re-recorded by Jennifer Holliday in 1987 on Geffen Records. In the 1974 movie Sparkle this song was sung by Lonette McKee. The credit has not been given to its rightful owner which has been defrauded for over twenty plus years. The truthful and actual written of "Giving Up" recorded by Gladys Knight, Donny Hathaway, and Jennifer Holliday; was VAN McCOY! Here is the original version of the song recorded by Gladys Knight and the Pips. (http://www.vanmccoymusic.com/discography/60s/play.php?id=18) Feel free to visit the Van McCoy Music Collection Online at www.vanmccoymusic.com. IT IS INCORRECT that Clyde Wilson and Herbert Ross wrote the "jennifer holliday" song, they wrote "Giving Up Your Love Is Like Giving Up the World." Which is not the song that Jennifer Holliday recorded.
