    The Cosby Show was ground breaking in many ways but most importantly it showed a black family in a positive light where even when they had a disagreement they worked it out with love and understanding.

      South Standards I like Good Times, but also liked the Cosby Show...I not from the hood (my farther was though) but I understood their struggles as a black person, but I was a suburban child so I related more to the Cosby Show being brought up in household with white collar working parents. But what I understand from my parents Good Times was revolutionary and groundbreaking for its time, specifically in the beginning because it spoke about injustices and topics that many blacks could relate to from their generation and older. It’s just a thought..anyways loved this song when Phylicia sang it on the Cosby Show (a show which was also ground breaking for my generation).

    • @696969bold
      @696969bold Před 3 lety +2

      The Cosby Show stands on the shoulders of Good Times, which opened doors for more people of color to be the center of the show and to bring reflections of the sign of their times.

      I'm good Pat. What I was saying (which you certainly don't have to agree with) is that this composition is an attempt to "recreate" (if you will) the sound and feeling of a traditional "Negro Spiritual". Patti's rendering was more in the vein of gospel music. I LOVE gospel music, but gospel music and Negro Spirituals should be performed differently. (In My Humble Yet Professional Opinion).

    Phylicia Rashad still looks beautiful. They should have had her reenact her performance from the show. Now, don’t get me wrong here. I’ve always loved Patti LaBelle. But, she should not have been the one performing this song. She has gotten too old, and lost most of her vocal range, and ability to hold a long note. I’ve been performing for 5 decades. But over the last few years, I have lost my 4 1/2 octave range & lung capacity. There comes a point when even the ones once the best need to step aside & bow out gracefully.

      pat gorden chill. I love Patti as much as the next fan but I think she oversang the song at the end. I know I’ll be alright but if you compare this one to Phylicia Rashad’s version, she does too much

    I wish someone more classically trained would have done this tribute. After all, this was a nod to HBCUs and their touring choirs. Patti Labelle is good at what she does, but this is not her genre.

      I understand your comment. I LOVE Patti LaBelle but like you said, she's better at Gospel. This is not a traditional spiritual, but it was composed in the fashion (so to speak) of a Spiritual. The way our HBCU choirs perform this genre, all that screaming is not appropriate. That said, again, I LOVE Patti in what she does. Just didn;t like her (or the arrangement) here. Just my opinion.
