Who is listening in 2024
Me... The incomparable Patti Labelle.
Me, I love Patty
Me...Everyday😊
Me..
I love it ❤❤
She just left a funeral of her sister and came and put in the work. Damn, that just adds to this already powerful song . Celine did well too
Patti LaBelle understood the assignment and she crushed it
Legend has it she did this in one take and never came back for corrections from the engineers' POV due to personal issues she was going through at the time.
Hence the Celine Dion remake some years later.
I’m listening in 2024. I’ve always loved this song 64 years old. I’m widowed for the second time and I’m looking for my last love and I think I found them God willing.
I'm sitting on couch just seen old party labelle o ln showtime Apollo my mom is sitting on wheelchair 80 yrs old n seen ur post. You'll find him girl. God bless n enjoy it
Hope and pray you have found lasting happiness, Cathy, after so much sorrow. God be with you.
If you ask me too❤
❤❤❤
The female black singers of that period (Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle, Lisa Fischer, Anita Baker, Roberta Flack etc.) was simple marvelous. The great era of the ballads.
wat about mariah, whitney, bernadette?
Angle Johnson What about Tina Turner?
yt? yy
Tina Turner for golden eye was eye opener for all female singers
Angelique Martínez you forget a couple Deniece williams,Brenda rusell,Shannon,Oleta Adams,Stephanie mills,Whitney houston and the list goes on.
Who's still listening in 2020?? A timeless classic!
Me !
At least 60 of us
Me ..
Huge Bond fan and i Only watched Licence to kill last night, great closing track to a fantastic movie
Meeeee
That was one of best credits in the James Bond history. Thank you Timothy Dalton 🙏🙏
Licence to Kill's credits really feels like a loving farewell to the 1980's and Classic Bond as well.
@@mr.pickaxe1101 I definitely agree with you. Dalton is one of the best Bond actors. 'If there was a man' played in the end credits of the Living Daylight is another excellent song.
@@mr.pickaxe1101 Timothy Dalton got a raw deal playing bond, the writing was underachieving on both films
Timothy Dalton was a really good James Bond.
That making love scene with Pam Bouvier after Bond chose her over Lupe Lamora was also one of the greatest
One of the greatest female vocalists of all time.
And they better know it 🔥🔥🔥
NO DOUBT!
Celine's cover was wonderful, but this is Patti's song. Always will be.
This song alone made Patti an icon.
@FriedSpamable bad news. Patti was first in 1989, Celine in 90s.
@Brent Jones 👍👍👍absolutely.
timothy chung No, no, no---Patti recorded it first. Celine covered it and copied the exact way Patti sang it. Unfortunately white radio, excuse me top 40 radio didn't play Patti's version.
@@donnasharpe7344 you are so right.
No wonder Celine’s version is beautiful considering that the original was already topnotch and great to begin with. Queen Patti owns this song!
Yeah.I dont think of that celine chick.I like this.It is in license to kill and therefor it is the definitve version for me.
Celine butchered this song like she butcher's everything else
The album which this song comes from Be Yourself is also a beautiful studio album too.
@@collinsnider4179 Interesting choice of words there. Butchered!!! She did more than okay. But here it's where we at.
Celine Dion stole this song from Patti LaBelle in 1992 shame on her
Patti LaBelle should have sued Celine Dion over comyright
Sorry Celine but this is Patti’s song all the way! She rocks it! No contest. ❤
Both ladies did amazing. Both brought something unique and beautiful.
Yes!
@@helixmoore7636 totally agree with you 💗💗💗💙💙💙❤❤❤
I disagree... I love Patti, but Celine's vocals brought this song the power it needed.
100%
One of the best "James Bond" songs ever. The perfect way to bid farewell to Timothy Dalton, and the classic 007 film series.
This was the perfect payoff from the tag line between Bond and Pam.
🤵🏻🍸
Couldn't agree with you more.
God save you, Commander.
This song has me wondering if Dalton's Bond left MI6. He would have made a great bounty hunter!
She shot this video the day of her sister’s funeral. Such a powerful and strong performance.
Wow 👏😪❤
Actually the day after the funeral and then lose her father 3 months later, 1989 was a bad year for Ms patti
@@1trl2 she has lost too many 💔
So touching she is singing about a truly loved one rather than some stupid boyfriend....i can really feel the emotion in the song....simple song but so beautiful.
I remember Donnie Simpson talking about that on BET Video Soul.
This was one of Patti's most powerful songs ever
Hell yeah !!!
She buried her baby sister the day before shooting this video which was on her sister’s birthday 😢
@@shellyztheone Must've been so hard for her to shoot. 😢
This song still moves me after allll these yrs
2023
The tear that Ms Patti shed was real, she stated that she was thinking of her sister that past recently before this video. Such a magnificent voice, such a magnificent person...I've been listening to you since 1975.
Yes! She had just left her funeral and came to do this video.
Real talk
First off, I wanna dedicate this song to my new found financial freedom, therefore I just paid off my house in full earlier this year at the age of 40 years old, and I'm now rejoicing by way of crying sweet tears of joy 😂.
And all is right in my life.
Thank you Jesus, my prayers have been answered.
👊🤝💯🎉
So happy for you, Remain blessed.
What a great blessing! I'm praying for the same, but don't quite see the light at the end of this dark tunnel.
🤜💥🤛
Congratulations 🎉👏
Who is still listening in 2021? Absolutely phenomenal performance. She recorded it just after her sister passed away with Cancer. What a tribute! I will have it played at my funeral. ❤❤
She is the original and I love this song.
Oh shut up
I cry every time!
This is a great song.
And the music video was shot a day after her sister’s funeral.
Still listening...in 1989, a cute boy named Tony played this for me, and a few short months later, we started a life together. He died two years after, and this song still takes me back to him and our time together. Someday we'll be together again. I hope Patti is there to sing at our reunion. Until then, queue up the video again for me! ❤
Wow im sorry to héar your loss. Dam thats Hurts, but i hope you had the grandest Time together . Have a great life.
I'm
I lost my husband Tony 2years ago and I just cried hard reading ur comment my condolences as long as it's been it still is sad ...r.i.p to both our Tonys
Oh my…WHEN SHE KICKS THEM SHOES OFF….It’s A Wrap ya’ll!
Just magnificent Patti, no one can touch her 🤦♀️ it’s just raw truth up in here!❤
PREACH!!!
Superb Goddess❤
No one ever😂
I wouldn't say that her and Whitney Houston are neck to neck
Still stunning 34 years later.
Blinding
just watched her singing "love takes time" tribute to mariah carey, and she still hasn't lost her touched... damn, she's nearly 80 now, but still shines brightly like nothing can stop her...
Patti LaBelle is a QUEEN. Diane Warren is a GODDESS for writing such a masterpiece.
The legendary Diane Warren has given our planet so many timeless eternal classics ! ❤🎶🙌
Warrick..
WOOOWWW!!! I HAD NO IDEA!!!❤❤❤
@@donaway6 Ummm! It is not Warrick, it is Diane Warren two different women. DIONNE WARWICK is a singer and Whitney Houston second cousin. DIANE WARREN has written hundreds of hit songs.

When she kicks her shoes off, it's on. She is taking no prisoners. The Empress of Soul, Patti labelle.
Thanks for your help in this matter is greatly for the first half and I will get it to you tomorrow when
Ok!? You know it's 100% not a game when the shoes come flying off!
She had just left her sisters funeral when she did this video. She was in a lot of pain
She's the godmother of soul Gladys is the empress
@@treylangnfsmith8537 Thanks for the correction. You haven't lied. Gladys is truly the Empress ,while Miss Patti is the Godmother. You know your music! the correction is greatly appreciated!
« License to Kill » brought me here. A Bond favorite of mine.
Good movie!!!
Me as well...
since the late 80s. I am still listening right now in 2023, and it has to be the best version imo... no other covers can exceed this.
My freind Nikita Bruise can sing like her
LC LEK...AGREED...THIS IS PATTI.S SONG.

Agreed! Loved then, love it now :)

Who bumping this in 2024 👀
Man, Ms. Patti LaBelle KILLED THIS SONG. yes, I said Ms. got to show the legend some respect.
She sure did sing that song Ms. Patti labella I love you 😘
Nothing beats the original. It’s so smooth and soothing to ears.
Facts!
True
Celine!
Céline Dion’s version
@@maxdominate2481 Celine did the song years after this one. Celine did nothing different to the song, basically it is like she is doing karaoke.
A true ARTIST takes a song and makes it their own. Ike and Tina Turner did Proud Mary after CCR and their version is the same song but you know it is not CCR when you hear it. That’s what makes it a true version. Any bar band can do the song just like CCR did…Or in this case, Celine singing this song just like Labelle.
And some say she did ‘better’-she did it years later, she had time to listen to it and do her little thing. It is not like she did the song at the same time.
There is one song like that, “How Do I Live” by Lee Anne Rimes. That song was also done by Trisha Yearwood. The songwriter wrote the song for Lee Anne and when the movie company heard it they wanted a more adult sound and got that from Trisha. Lee Anne released the song anyway and had success with it.
Both their versions sound the same, the difference is their voices. LeeAnne sounds young and fun Trisha sounds older and more mature. That is why the movie company wanted her, they didn’t want a 14 year old singing the love theme of the movie.
This is the original and my favorite version of this song. Can’t anyone bring the raw emotion and fire to this like Ms. Patti.
Celine dion did a amazing job on the remake but it is nothing like the original goat Patti Labelle
Celine’s version is lovely to listen to but her songs always feel overly dramatic and a bit over the top with her high notes where Patti sang this song with pure emotion and heart. Celine’s sounds like she is just singing the song to a concert crowd.
@@kenthuang436 Exactly! Very well put!
@@kenthuang436 maybe it’s because I’m a classically trained vocalist but I am more drawn to Celine’s version. Her legato lines and phrasing are so beautiful. However, the way Patti sings after the high note is so good! ❤
I really love this song. It’s so well and beautifully sung. Her voice is so powerful too. Happy 79th Birthday to the Godmother of Soul, Ms. Patti LaBelle! ❤❤🥳🎉🎊5/24/2023
This song hits the spot every single time for me. A Forever Classic #2023
2023 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
We here in 2023
@@DomLovely that's right 💯💯🔥🔥🔥💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Me too me meltdown 😂
I'm listening to it in March, 2022. Her voice is liquid gold & how she holds that note mid way for 19 seconds, classic!
That pitch held out speaks to the folding flower of time. When she sang it live she held it out even longer and the audience rose in celebration.
I loved cline Dion version of this song , I love Pattie , but she have a screaming nasally voice for this, is not a right song for her voice
Robert in Music we don't go by seconds, we go by Music Bars...Patti held that note for 4 Bars.
@@darrellmfume4020 you must be in music?
@@RobertPagano226 YES SIR.
One of the greatest but sadly forgotten 007 soundtrack, from Licence To Kill's ending credits.
Patti's version is much more emotional, her dynamics, the way he builds up the song, just perfect. Nothing against Dion's, it's ok, but gives me nothing.
It doesn't seem to sound like a 007 song to me, but more of a tribute song to her special someone who passed away.
Yeah ive seen the movie too.
This should have been the main theme for the movie
@@vellbariaofficial the movie, songs all are underrated. licence to kill is the one and only 007 movie which I watched multiple times and love to watch again and again.
@@vellbariaofficial she did the music video after her sisters funeral so for her the subject of the song drastically changed she lost all 3 of her sisters to cancer before age 44. How she did this is so inspiring to me.
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but give GOD a little more time. Give HIM your worries, accept HIS peace and rest. He will drive you and pave the way for you. Amen ♥ 🕊!
No one can sing this song like Patti! Celine is great in her own lane but this song is all Patti Labelle! Period!
This has to be one of my favorite Patty Labelle song of all times
You can see how into the song she is when at one point she kicks off her shoes.
Mine too
I agree....it touches me where I ache. I don't trust like I used to.
Diane Warren is a freaking mastermind with these words. Patti's vocals are unmatched to any other. This original version will always be my fave!
Beta no it girl
She’s great, but, with all due respect, she does NOT come close to Aretha!
@@82mmkay I disagree. She is technically so proficient. Aretha is more distinctive. Dion Warwick is another amazing vocalist. Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston. We are all so blessed
@@chriscornelius2518 When you put it that way, I can’t disagree and think you’re spot on! Thank you for opening up another view to see it through! 👍🏽
@@82mmkay both great artists...cant compare an artistic piece with a next one...both talents are abstract. Enjoy greatness!
Her voice is so powerful and she is the only one who can sing this song, because she puts her heart into the song
We saw her on the Kelly Clarkson show and at 80 years she`s still got it🥰
Licence to Kill!!!!! The most underrated James Bond film starring the most underrated James Bond!!!!! Timothy Dalton!!!!!
it sure is it's actually one of my favorite bond movies.
@@tyronetriplett4071 me too, also the villain.
@@user-jp7pf3qd3j yep that's another good one.
My Favorite James Bond Movie
lol just finished watching movie and the end came up had to have more of the song so here I am lol
TELL ME DO U STILL GET THOSE CHILLS WHEN YOU HEAR HER SING THIS!!! ALWAYS!!!! ♡♡♡
Yes i do!
Always. Especially when she hits those high notes #goosebumps 😊
Diane Alfieri Have chillz now..I luv this lady
I love her song she know how to sing
Facts!!!!
Came from Licensed to Kill. First time I watched the movie and first time I heard the song. What a feeling. Immediately ran to CZcams .
God save you, Commander.
One of the best damn songs ever recorded. Another reminder why Patti is truly the best voice of the last 100 years. Been listening to this song since the album it was on came out and I still get chills at 2:50 as the song builds in emotion and notes and that voice soars! Lord have mercy!! Long live the Queen!!
Those shoes 👠 was flying at the end hunty!!! YAAAAASSSS PATTI
@@mobee7613 How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
I've met her in person backstage after her concert. The "REALIST of the real!!!" So humble and down to earth. She shot this video the day after her sister's funeral. Her sister asked her to come and bring one of her famous "egg salad sandwiches" to her. Patti put it off. She died, and Patti often talks about it in her concerts. Moral of the story: "NEVER put off tomorrow what you can do today". Tell someone TODAY you love them, forgive them TODAY because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
Correction it was an egg sandwich not an egg salad sandwich never heard of that but I do have her book don't block the blessings and it's in the book also but thank you for sharing....
Yesterdays gone Tomorrow's always in Doubt the only time that matters anyhow is right now
Thank you for sharing I never knew this. That's why she look so sad in the video and crying.
So true!
Very heartbreaking to hear this.
There's no other voice like Patti Labelle's, she's one of a kind.
1989 was a great year for music and this was the ultimate James Bond send off for that decade. We wouldn’t see another 007 film till 1995
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Period.
Am with you dear , this song and come back to me by janet jackson i think are the most emotional songs i have ever heard
She was thinking of her sister she lost THOSE tears were REAL BEAUTIFUL tribute!!! I ALWAYS get emotional listening to this song GOD BLESS YOU PATTI
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
@@ericmoore6716 Hi Eric! Doing Good! I hope you are doing well!
Patti said way back when and she was dating Otis Williams of the Temptations he asked her to marry him BUT he wanted her to give up on her singing career. I’m so glad she didn’t listen. We would have missed out on such a great singer and a awesome voice
It’s 2024 and I’m still loving this song.
Patti knows how to deliver. The way she sung this song just sends something through me.
Absolute
Same!
Patti recorded this video right after she left her sister, Jackie’s funeral and repast. That’s why she has all black on and was crying like a baby ❤️❤️❤️
That was touching when she mentioned that.
Yes it was
This is Patti's song no one sings it like she does
I prefer this version Patti got the perfect voice for this song
Ms. Patti shot this video on the day after her sister's funeral - when her shoe kicks off, it's over. Brilliant performance.
OmG.. that' explains the black dress... wow .. she is one courageous woman ... I can't even imagine ... I am just speechless . 💗💟💝 I miss this song . Haven't heard it in a while . I love all. These ladies in that era. Back when. It was just the voice before the imagery like today ..
Explains all the emotions felt in the video
The tears were real
Yes and it makes it so special to me!
The music video was filmed the day after the funeral of LaBelle's sister Jacqueline "Jackie" Padgett who died of lung cancer at age 43
One of the greatest voices of all time. Her sound gives me chills every time. Love her!
reid kleinman i agree
She has an amazing style range!
Curretion her voice is the G.O.A.T
Just read where you can see visible tears it’s because she lost her baby sister just a couple weeks prior to shooting the video 💔 Patti is most certainly a treasure!
Listening 2024 will be listening as long as I live ❤
Whose still listening to this in 2021?.. a real timeless classic.
Me
A 65yr old guy, who appreciates a great time machine! Thank you Alden!
And 2022
Me
2022
Her hand movements.....#everything
Caj Catt Agree
Oh honey, that's just Miss Patti singing so good it makes her want to fly!😁
When the shoes go flying......guurrrrlll!😆
True pro, Miss LaBelle is, shooting this video on the day of her sisters funeral.
Patti is the Matriarch right now of R+B Soul...a living legend at 79! Love her!! She deserves many flowers right now.
Damn, all these years i thought Vanessa Williams sung this song! Man, Patti was cranking out them hits in the 80s!
are there any vocalists left?...i mean no ones voice blows me away anymore...the greats are leaving us too fast too soon...need more pattis and ettas and annies...
my sentiments exactly
I know what you mean. Search "Stephanie Mills - Home Live at the Apollo Theater.. It was 1980..She had me in awe..
Martina McBride's "Anyway"....is pretty powerful.....
Marta Wasyk i totally agree
Marta Wasyk Ill always Miss Whitney Houston
KICK OUT THOSE SHOES DAMMIT!!! This woman got me shouting....its a message in this song and I am receiving it.thank you Patti
Yes the message is hitting me loud and clear
pose
Hello is good you still listen to Patti Labelle how are you doing?
Ask me too, and I’ll do anything for you JESUS. #I’m listening
Yet another song written by the incomparable Diane Warren ❤
The original & still the absolute best!!!
I agree 100%🙂!!!
Very much the best version
For you , not for me
patti's version is the best. love celine, but this song is where the soul is.
Yep. Damn shame.
Patti recorded this song first in 1989 when her sister Jackie passed away. This is dedicated in her memory.
+Jabbing Jay exactly
Listen to Patti Sing this song starting at 2:27 - Compare it to Celine. Patti takes it.
da
No one can sing this song like Patty Labelle
"Makes You want to Stand up and tell Somebody Something " She's telling it"❣️🙏
I was an usher in a movie theater when "Licence to Kill" (the James Bond movie) came out and this played over the closing credits. All the ushers would head into the theater when we knew this song was coming on. Such an amazing performance.
xingcat license to kill had 2 motown singer patti labelle and gladys knight
ppl back then when the movie came out just wasn't ready for that movie. totally underrated bond film and the soundtrack didn't even get enough credit either which is sad.
Beautiful ❤❤
Just saw it tonight lol omg 😚.... Never new the song was on the sound track... Huge Janes Bond fan dont know how how this slip me..... 30 years old soooo i grew up on ... 007. Just came on tv.. the irony
I found your comment interesting because I was an usher as well while this movie was in our theater. To this day, when it gets to the end of the song, "James Bond will return" always pops in my head.....
Who are these people who could give a thumbs down on such a beautiful song. People with no souls
Or people who dont know how to ask
Robert Rohan these people are simply dumb or stupid they do not know anything bout music...
Those people are maybe just bitter .or envy
@@garyangangan4267 yes...
Robert Rohan:
Someone with little to
no sense of understanding,
simple as that.
Long Live Ms. Patti Labelle!
Celine did a great job but nobody beats Patti on this song. She’s the only one who can sing this beautifully, perfectly.
I can’t believe she filmed this the day of her sisters funeral !!! 😭😭😭
She did
Selena Walker yes ma’am. She did
Really? Wow, that's an interesting trivia.
She said they captured her really crying in the video.
Wow she did shed tears. Now this song has a more meaning now. I remember this song in 1989. I was a classic.
This makes me remember watching James Bond movie with my Dad. I love you Dad; I miss you; rest in peace.
This is still the best version over Celine Dion’s. No one can outsing Patti Patti!
wayyyyyyyyyyyy better
Just watching 007 licence to kill❤❤
the ending when she starts throwing off her shoes and raising the laces of her dress is just beautiful
Those are real tears and emotions. The day before Patti LaBelle recorded this video, she buried the last of her 3 sisters, Jackie Padgett.
Hello Adam is good you still listen to Patti LaBelle how are you doing?
I'm so glad to be old enough to remember Patti making this before Celine!!
me 2
me too..
Well they’re only 3 years apart
I didn't even know Celine had a version... I don't want to know that version. Patti is where it's at..
Amen
DEFINITELY PATTI'S SONG. 👍👍☝☝💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🍷🍷🍾❤❤
Everyone loved Céline version but this is the one! Still is the best.
There is a reason that there are over 10 million views to this. It is a classic!
Patti Labelle's version of this song makes me cry because I remember her being interviewed about this video. She said her sister had just past away from breast cancer as they were shooting. Her performance, the tears were all real. I remember my sister at that time was in the hospital in a coma with Encephalitis/ severe seizures/ and I was told she would either die or she was going to be a "vegetable". My sister was in a coma for about a month before she regained consciousness. She had to learn to walk and talk again, but she pulled through and graduated high school later that year. I love Celine's version as well.
Patti LaBelle also lost her other two sisters to cancer...by this time, she was and is the last surviving LaBelle sister.
Such a moving song, I listen to it almost on a daily basis
That big hair looks so glamorous !
Was just watching "License to Kill" and I forgot the was the ending credits song, can't believe it was 31 years ago!!! Mrs. Labelle was 45yo when she sang this, what a voice!!! Wish I could go back to days of great music like this!!!
Agree
I agree with you
I don't know which is more beautiful, her singing voice or her looks. She is the ideal black woman. God sure did take his tome in knitting her together.
I love this song always makes me think of my mom who passed away almost 20 years ago an knowing that Patti did this video the day after his sister's funeral makes it even more emotional she is she strong I'm trying to be.... 🥹😐😑🥺😔
It's been a long time but I heard this on the radio today and had to play it when I got home. I love Celine as an artist but there's no topping this. Patti's voice is magnificent and her body movements gives this song Life.
Agreed.
Got that RIGHT
When auntie patti kicks them shoes off i dropped i knew she wasnt comin to play...slay only👏👏👏💯
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Who hit high notes anymore. It's only one patti appreciate her while she on this planet with us
I know she is so cool I hope she can live forever!!!!
I know she is so cool I hope she can live forever!!!!
Me too I love her music
Yea cool!!
I'm so honored to be of that crowd
Lord when she hits that note and we all know which note my eyes water 😢
I just love me some Patti LaBelle.
