Nancy Wilson - [You Don't Know] How Glad I Am (Capitol Records 1961)

"(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" is a song written by Jimmy Williams and Larry Harrison. In the US, its best-known recorded version is that by Nancy Wilson, a hit single for her, in the summer of 1964.

Wilson, who had been recording since 1960, was afforded her first pop Top 40 hit with ..."How Glad I Am":

(Nancy Wilson quote:)"I went into the studio with the idea of recording a Top 40 kind of hit [with '...How Glad I Am']. Actually though I didn't sing any differently.....It's the material itself that did it [along with] the arrangement."
The single went to No. 11 on the Hot 100, as well as No. 2 on the Billboard Pop-Standard Singles chart.

In April 1965 "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" received the Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Recording: Wilson was surprised by the categorization of "...How Glad I Am" as R&B as she would have classifieded it as a pop record, and the track had not been a major R&B hit peaking at No. 45 on the Cash Box R&B chart (the Billboard R&B chart was dormant throughout 1964).

Wilson would have one additional Top 40 hit after the success of "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am": In 1968, "Face It Girl, It's Over", reached its peak position of 29.

My love has no beginning, my love has no end
No front no back, my love won't bend
I'm in the middle, lost in a spin
Loving you
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am

My love has no bottom, my love has no top
My love won't rise, my love won't drop
I'm in the middle and I can't stop
Loving you
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am

I wish I were a poet so that I could express
What I, what I like to say
I wish I were an artist, so that I could paint a picture
Of how I feel, how I feel today

My love has no walls on either side,
That makes my love wider than wide,
I'm in the middle and no and I can't hide
Loving you
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am

And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am
How glad I am
How glad I am
How glad I am
How glad I am
