Happy 80th birthday Ms Patti LaBelle
Happy 80th Birthday 🎂 Patricia Louise Holte,BKA Patti Labelle.
She is an icon of the highest order. To have sustained throughout so many decades with not a single scandal, and to have always been known as a thrilling performer and exceptional vocalist, as well as a down to earth Earth mother. She is beyond a legend. Plus the way she ALWAYS embraced the gay Black community, who always loved and supported her in turn. What an amazing Queen goddess of music.
Honestly I stopped loving her after that Tina Turner tribute debacle. I wish she would retire.
@@rellenozyou must have forgotten that Miss Patti is literally 80 years old, just 2 decades from turning 100! She is very old and for that alone she deserves some grace, she’s already up there in age and her performing skills aren’t exactly what they used to be so if she slips up it has to be taken with a grain of salt.
@@rellenoz: Shallow
Words can never express people like Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Leontyne Price, Maria Callas, Celine Dion, Stephanie Mills, Rachelle Ferrell, luciano Pavarotti, Donny Hathaway, Andrea Bocelli and, of course, Stevie Wonder--but we do our best to let them know. (05/26/24)
I couldn’t have it any better than that! These new R&B “singers” couldn’t even come close.
Happy 80th Patti Patti!!
How the industry has changed. A solo artist now would never be given six years to have her commercial breakthrough. Excellent performance!
She’s amazing, a class act. She did not compromise her integrity. Seems like all these record companies now want you to expose your skin in order to get attention. But, if you have talent you’ll always get attention. Love Ms. Patti!♥️♥️♥️
It’s funny to think that her and Tina were recreating them selves at the same time to become solo icons and they both reached that at the same time around 1985 they were well known as solo acts although they had been around many year’s prior. Amazing!!!!!!
Sing Patti. Happy 80th birthday! ❤
She is the Greatest of All Time. Happy Birthday, Queen!
My aunt had this album. She played this song all the time. Good memories!
@sthom: I lived in San Francisco when I discovered this album, right before the CD evolution. It is still AMAZING❤.
Brazil loves you, Ms Patti. Happy 80th birthday ❤️🇧🇷
Wonderfully DONE. Patti a gem 💎 ✨️ 💖 2024.
Throw the interview segment away completely! Patti was absolutely Patti and amazing in every way.
Its insane ive never seen her younger! STUNNING!
First time I heard Patti was on "On My Own" and wow I loved her brassy toned soulful voice with that slight bright shine on that brass instrument, almost a helium nasal effect to it. Very unique voice and immediately identifiable on the radio.
So this is the first solo TV performance of the Unbeatable Vocal Live Performer ! Amazing !
My first time seeing Ms. Patti live was at the Kool Jazz Festival in Cincinnati in the summer of ‘84. She blew it out of the water! I was a hooked Patti fan ever since!❤
Happy 80th Birthday Patti LaBelle!!!!
I’m 😢tears of
Joy she has come so far my God is a Keeper amen 🙏🏾 🙌🏾 Thank you God for Patti LaBelle Happy 80th Birthday 🥳 ❤❤❤
Philly’s Own Patti Labelle…SHE LEFTTTTT NO FCKN CRUMBS!
Patricia Louise Holt (born May 24, 1944), known professionally as Patti LaBelle, is an American R&B singer and actress. She has been referred to as the "Godmother of Soul".
She began her career in the early 1960s as lead singer and frontwoman of the vocal group Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. After the group's name change to Labelle in the 1970s, they released the popular number-one hit "Lady Marmalade". As a result, after the group split in 1976, LaBelle began a successful solo career, starting with her critically acclaimed debut album, which included the career-defining song, "You Are My Friend".
LaBelle became a mainstream solo star in 1984 following the success of the singles "If Only You Knew", "Love, Need and Want You" (later sampled for 2002's "Dilemma"), "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up". Less than two years later in 1986, LaBelle scored a number-one album Winner in You and its number-one duet single, "On My Own", with Michael McDonald.
In 1989, the standard "If You Asked Me To" (later covered by Celine Dion) was released on Be Yourself. LaBelle won a 1992 Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for her 1991 album Burnin', an album that featured "Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)", "Feels Like Another One", and "When You've Been Blessed (Feels Like Heaven)". She won a second Grammy for the live album Live! One Night Only. Her 1990s albums Burnin', Gems (1994), and Flame (1997) continued her popularity with young R&B audiences throughout the decade. She reunited with her Labelle bandmates for the album Back to Now which was followed by a well-received promotional tour. Source Wikipedia
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ms. Patricia Holt!
the host is sending me😭
That’s Dinah Shore. I remember watching her show as a child.
Dinah Shore was an American singer, actress, and television personality, and the chart-topping female vocalist of the 1940s.
Shore became the first singer of her era to achieve huge solo success. Shore starred in seven radio series of her own between 1941 and 1954. She had a string of eighty charted popular hits, spanning from 1940 to 1957.
After appearing in a handful of feature films, she went on to a four-decade career in American television. She starred in her own music and variety shows from 1951 through 1963 and hosted two talk shows in the 1970s.
TV Guide ranked Dinah Shore at number 16 on their list of the top 50 television stars of all time.
Dinah Shore won nine Emmys, a Peabody Award, and a Golden Globe Award.
Me to. Like girl is you tryna be funny
Do you know who you are interviewing???? lol so unprofessional as a host
Patti wasn't anyone special back then
@@rellenoz She did not have the iconic status then that she had later in her career, but she certainly had a special talent even then and even earlier during her years with Labelle and her earlier groups. She was special then, but her specialness was not as widely recognized then as it is now.
Diva LaBelle... from the womb to infinity‼️🙌🏽💜👏🏽🎶☝🏽🎉💐
Go Patti🔥she was having so much fun on that stage
Happy 80th Queen! I love you more than you’ll ever know ❤
Finally on CZcams!! How fantastic she and the band sound. Still my favorite Patti album. Dinah Show was such a great format to just let the music play.
Happy 80th Birthday Ms.Patti Labelle
I fell in 1983 when I was 11 and she sang if only you knew 👌🏿❤❤🎂💐🥰
Still waiting on a voice glass on Ms. Patti LaBelle
LOVE PATTI!!! You are my friend OMGoodness I have heard sooo many versions of this song. WE LOVE YOU PATTI
I remember one Christmas i got money and the first thing I decided to buy were cds, the first one i bought was The Essential Patti LaBelle album and played both of these songs everyday and still have them in rotation today. Happy 80th Birthday Queen Patti 🎉🎉🎉
@singerboy10000 my first two 45s bought with my own money were lady marmalade and have you never been mellow 😂❤
@@davidjrhd I know that was special ❤️ I always visualized myself being back in that era when those songs first came out. I know that time was lit with all the great music coming out back then
My mother loved this song and Patti LaBelle.
🌈The Dinah Shore Show & Miss Patti...that was her first solo album after LABELLE dispanded. Happy Birthday Love ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
this was the very first time that I saw Patti LaBelle, as a solo act, on a tv show. I remember it very well, because my Mom's 'then-BF' worked for Jet magazine as an editor, and on occasion, he would even interview those entertainers that were profiled for the magazine. So, about 2 weeks after I saw Patti on Dinah's show, my Mom got tickets to see Patti LaBelle, performing at the Kennedy Center Opera House...this was Patti's first big tour. And Peter, Mom's BF, came with us. Patti performed for 3 hrs...I didnt say 2 hrs...I didnt say 2 1/2 hrs...I said 3 hrs.
There were so many encores, I lost count, in all seriousness. And she burned thru her material from this album...and damn near half of LaBelle's catalogue, it seemed like. But I will never forget her energy and passion for singing when she was at the top of her game. Over the course of my life, Ive seen Patti in concert well over 20 times. And she has NEVER made me regret spending my money. This woman..is one of the greatest divas this nation has ever produced. A REAL, legend.
I wish I could've seen Patti live in this era🔥🔥🔥 !! This is my personal favorite period for her vocally. She was just so unrestricted. I call it the "hair bun era" lol. She is extremely unique! Happy birthday,Miss LaBelle! And thank you @blackmusicarchive for uploading this!❤❤❤
Such a joy listning to her sing 🤩
Happy Another Trip Around the Sun, Patti Patti!
JTHY❤ is a treasure. You can just bask in it. It creates an inward glow of hope.❤Patti is incomparable.
I love that she looks like you & me . 😎🥃💃🏾
You areeeee * stops singing * it’s my latest single to…* My Frieeennnnddde
Patti 80 always knew she was gonna be in for the long hall.
This Gem of a song is my go to when I'm feeling a bit down! Thank you Patti LaBelle for the gift of your music ❤
She was so pretty. Git it! Patti.
❤️🙌🏾 Happy Birthday Queen Patti!!!
The Godmother of Soul! Thanks for sharing this Milik! She did not disappoint!
She is 💥! I love her.
I love this whole album ! My mom played it all the time 😂
"You Are My Friend" is a ballad co-written and recorded by American singer Patti LaBelle, released as the second single off her self-titled debut album, in 1978 on the Epic label. While it only reached as high as number sixty-one on the Billboard Hot-Selling Soul Singles chart upon its initial release, it has gone on to become one of the singer's signature anthems. Source Wikipedia
I know Patti’s songs from the 80s (If only you knew, on my own, and new attitude) are good, but I gotta admit “Joy To Have Your Love”, “You Are My Friend”, and even “I Think About You” are her best 70s songs.
What a wonderful blast from the past. I was a little girl at the time - always thought Dinah Shore asked the most awkward questions.
I don’t remember the interviews in detail but I also watched as a child and her show was a big deal.
Yes I remember her show
Lmao I thought she was high
@@tkctrlofevltnwho Pattie or Donna?
Cringy. This lady's first solo performance on your show and you are focused on her band? Some people don't understand when they are in the presence of greatness 🙏🏾
What treat on a rainy day here! Thank you, brotha. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and travel safely.
Thanks! You too!
Lovely ❤
So beautiful
Love me some Patti!!!! Thanks.
Blessed & Joyful Birthday, Queen!💕
A true legend.
🌸🌸
I may not like Patti the Shade queen, but she sure can SANG! I hope she had a marvelous birthday.
HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 QUEEN "YOU ARE OUR FRIEND "❤
😮 wow! I just realized that her and Mariah both started with a dark rich tone and then their voice became brighter in the years to come. Thank you for this content ❤
...this had to have been around Fall, 1977; Dinah mentioned "Star Wars", which was released Summer 1977...Patti WRECKED Gay Black Men with her Solo debut! ..Sylvester snatched "You Are My Friend", and performed it in his live shows, & Patti earned her 1st Solo CLASSIC..This 80 Year Old Woman PROVED her talents...She, is Our *FRIEND* ... (11:18)
HAPPY BLACK MUSIC MONTH BLACK FAMILY!!!!🥰✊🏾
👏🏾👏🏾
wow
Love these earlier performances, especially the interviewing segments. Still Patti of now, but obviously there’s a progression of everything from personality to performance.
This is great, thanks for posting!
Awesome
Patti.
#HappySolarReturn, Patti Labelle on your 80th Born Day🎉🎂🎈🎊🍾🥂
It’s always a shock how you get a hold of such rare content. Do you just write an email to archives like retro video? 😂 anyways thanks so much for this!
I wish it was that easy lol
YOU BETTER HIT THE LIKE BUTTON! WHAT A TREAT❤!
WWWWO YEEEEEAAAHHH!!!!!!
I don’t understand how people can hear voices like Patti, Minnie Riperton, and Michelle Williams, Deniece Williams, etc and think Mariah is a true Soprano. She’s was always a mezzo with an upper and lower extension due to her nodules. The difference is while Mariah could hit the higher notes, true sopranos can sustain those notes repeatedly without becoming fatigued as it’s in their comfort zone.
Agree
And with resonance
Thank u
As a performer, I could only hope to have HALF as much stage presence and abandon as THE QUEEN, Ms. Patti Labelle
She is a high dramatic soprano
The most powerful soprano of them all. In the realm of the R&B girl groups Nona,Sarah, Cindy, Patti Reigns Supreme. You had singers & sangers Patti was a sanger.First indigenous girl group to have a headline singer, to Tour 🇬🇧, the first to ever appear on UK television. The first girl group to have a fellow member leave for a rival group in the 60's.they start off the next decade as they did the prior,.The first and only indigenous female rock band to record, tour and chart in the world in the 70's.
What the R&B charts didn't give them The R&B achieves made up for it and more. Someone can't always 1 up another's record sells and awards. But when it comes to The Bluebelles,LaBelle the Reigning Queens of snatching edges & handing out seats...They don't talk about this side of her music. 😢😮😮
🙌🏽
I was just shipping out to the military. 👏🏾🕺🏾💃🏾🎶
Dinah Shore Show
💜
Wished they showed the Dinah’s audience👀
Is this Dinah Shore?
Yes, you are correct!
patty la bele and the me❤😂
How did her voice get higher after this
technique
Mixing the voice does a lot, especially for women.
The conversation between Patti and Dinah is so awkward - Dinah's doing. 😅
Was the host biracial? Her voice gives a touch of Black sass and warm intonation that is typical amongst Black women.
I don't believe so. Dinah Shore is daughter of Russian-Jewish immigrants.
@@BlackMusicArchive Thank you. She was definitely tea.
Thank you for all you do as well. I learn so much.
I knew older people who swore Dinah was a black woman who passed.
She’s just southern lol
Just a southern white lady lol. They speak very similar to black women.
She seemed kinda nervous talking to the lady ❤
Remind you that this was her first solo act!
Dinah Shore is giving me the cringes in this. The interview seems so uncomfortable but great performances by Patti.
clearly highly influenced by Aretha's singing style. Through the years she skipped the passagios and appogiaturas (Aretha's signatures) and focused on beltings and atmospheric glissandos. Patti is my favorite between the two titans of soul
The host was asking stupid weird questions Patti was looking at her like is this lady serious rite now ? I’m not dumb
lol worst host ever to me love Patti Labelle and she my Gemini ♊️ twin happy belated birthday my love 😊
Interview was made me cringe
..when she had a real black woman nose
What does she have now?
Tina turner Stephanie mills nose which brightens their singing
You mad?! 😂😂😂
@@patgorden5002 You mad cause we noticed that nose aint real...blacknosematters
Nots b goods. B sounds nastys. Fo sho.🥸
