I am at awe. My Mom just passed away on February 22, 2021 and I have been having such a hard time. I got the urge to listen to some music on CZcams so I chose this random video because of the title and that Patti Labelle was the singer. I mean who does not like Patti. So as I'm listening to the words I said to myself that these words are words that I could hear my Mother say to me. I continued to watch this video and I began to notice some of the Choir Members from the Adult Choir from New Hope Baptist Church in Newark N.J that my Mom and myself sang with back in the 80s that looked familiar to me. I kept watching and enjoying the video and at a glance I thought I saw my Mother so I rewound the video to look again and low and behold there was my Mother in the far left corner. She is the one in the far left corner with the short afro. I immediately burst into tears of joy. That was confirmation that my Mom is still speaking to me from the other side. I still have goose bumps. I was also a part of this recording at The Apolo Theatre in Harlem. Such a great memory.
@@patgorden5002 Thank you so much. The loss of my Mother really had me in a very low place and I did not know how I was going to get through it. But the more I miss her the more she shows me that she is still with me in Spirit and the hairs are still standing up on my body after seeing this video. I'm still speechless.
A voice that could raise the dead! Patti is a American national treasure, with a soulful sound of pain, joy and hope that could only be produced by the " unique history " of African Americans in the United States. She is one of the most underrated performers of the late 20th century. The fact that her voice, tone and control remains flawless after nearly 50 years of singing " full out " is a miracle. I can't think of any other vocalist who's voice has remained as pitch perfect as long as Ms. LaBelle's. God bless her and keep her delivering her vocal gift's to the world.
Stephen Hardy I don't disagree with your comment on that at all because she is a truly amazing singer who's voice has remained just as beautiful and maybe gotten better but for me ,Charlie Wilson comes to mind when thinking of who else's voice has remained so well over time
@j w George Hearn(Sweeny Todd). Not only was she nominated in 1985 but also 1986. Hell Michael Jackson didn’t win in 1983 and that Performance electrified the freaking Earth and wiped Thriller off the shelves of all stores.
Really?! She is scary. She is loud. The only "voice" she can hear is her own. Someone in the choir can do better. Next time, just tell her to read the lyrics and give the world a break. Patti LaBelle has been awful from the beginning. She was given the stage, if not, she would slash you.
I was at work (Charlotte airport) & I walked out the breakroom & Patti Labelle was standing right in front of me surrounded by people.I was SHOOKED! I am a huuuuuugggggeee fan of the legendary Patti Labelle… I just stared at her & she asked me if I wanted a pic with her & give me the most genuine hug I would ever get from a celebrity…. That made my decade lol… & I’m not even star struck… but meeting patti Labelle & DMX was everything!!!
I’m sure even that dress collected a check that night cus Patti made her work, every shingle on that gown came alive! Powerful performance, Emmy worthy even! 🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️
@@philippejean2345 Thank you so much! I only wish he could hear my original music. I didn't take up writing and recording until after his death. Take care, G.
@@Thollis1987 Thank you so much. I hope he knows that I am now writing and recording my own songs, which are on CZcams. I know he would be proud. Take care and keep the music inside of you, G.
Patti starts a song at the intensity that most people would love to end it. By the close of the first verse the audience is blown away. Then she just soars...
I was at the BET Awards when Patti performed. Her voice, fills the entire theatre..she ain't NO JOKE. Clarity and Volume! This performance gives me chills..
I remember seeing this the night it was performed. Now years later when I struggle with the death of my mother I know the meaning of You'll Never Walk Alone. God is Always There. I Love You Janice Hudson.
I'm in this place again like you. My mom passed three years ago a nd we lived up the road from Pattie she was my mom's favorite. I remember watching this with her live with my mom. I came tonight my oldest 30 year old daughter is sick tonight with heat failure. I came to listen with monin spirit for guidance. May we see our mothers again.
I seen this in 1986 Motown from the Apollo on channel 2 Bay Area 2 years after, I watched Michael do his moonwalk and stratosphere himself into history! Never heard this song or any gospel but this change my life! At 54 I still listen to this at least twice a week and have the DVD of the whole show!
What I think people miss in general is a Spiritual singer. Patti will get up and sing her song and the spirit hits her all the time. She then takes it to church. Folks always say, why is she shouting all the time. It is nice to see her free in her element. She is my favorite because she has no boundaries. Her talent is raw and never the same ever. This performance is just a wow
i agree, with LIVE vocals and moving and jumping and spinning......STILL in full voice, NOBODY could do this, and I STUDY alot of female VOCALIST, SINGERS! Patti is unmatched TRUST me!
The ONLY singer nowadays who I'm still excited to see perform. She ain't no national treasure...She a GLOBAL treasure!!!!!!!! Love and treasure her.....a living legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This got to be rated as one of the greatest live vocal performances of all time. Patti voice is pure power, precision plus the anointing. In her prime Patti put the fear of God in other performers who sang with her or after her...No one wanted to sing after Patti-and many were legendary singers. How about that!
I'm no longer a Christian I don't even believe in religion however I've listened to this song over and over and the spirit and the soul that she puts into this song it brings tears to my eyes and makes me feel good I love you Patti ❤😗❤
You don’t believe in religion? Singing about Jesus is not religion, they are singing about Jesus who is the truth and life, he will never let you walk alone.
I don't believe in religion any more either (male bullshit designed to subjugate) but spirit and joy is present every day if you seek it, this is what I feel in my bones now
@@hannahretel1073 The problem with people like you is you confuse religion with God and attribute all your negative assumptions about "religion" to God. The word religion is used so casually now that it could mean any human beings' relation to anything they deem sacred worthy of mention etc. I've heard people say the beach with its ocean waves and relaxing sounds is my religion, good food/cooking is my religion etc. "male bullshit designed to subjugate", you make yourself sound like yet another angry lonely feminist. It's getting old/tired/prosaic.....yawn.....
I love Patti, don't get me wrong, but she started losing her pitch when she hit 70 - she is off key a lot now, but she is still rocks anyway!! The amazing live performances she gave the world are priceless!!
Ms Patti La Belle is more than a singer in this planet. She gives all the energy and passion in to The Gospel on stage. She is the best performer I' ve ever known. God bless you, Ms Patti💚💚💚
That entrance alone with her huge voice and in synch movement with the choir was pure slayage She started off in 10th gear and went on up... Powerful chest and head voice She blew through an entire choir and then made 3 legends into her background singers #amazing
It is so true. I enjoyed what you said. Check out her renditions of two of Michael Jackson songs. "I just cant stop loving you" and a duet with Darryl Cooley: Will you be there
Everyone was shook, the band, the choir, Al Greene, Mavis, Lil Richard and the audience, even the mic stand understood the assignment. I watched this when it originally aired, shook then and I'm still amazed and shaken!!!
+Xavier Smith Well damn, im on the same exact bandwagon. This song has so much meaning for me. Also reminds me of all the positive people i have in my life
+Christian Phoenix 4 1/2 years ago I've become non religious also, or is that the same as atheist. but the universe is directing me if I sit still, push all the human voices out my mind and listen.
gemini Carolyn : Non-religious isn't necessarily the same thing. A typical atheist simply believes that there isn't sufficient evidence to claim that there is a god, let alone one that is interested in our personal affairs. Eleasandrinho Arantes : Same here. I think this song transcends any religiosity and talks about how humans should treat each other--and that's a beautiful and powerful thing.
almost 5 minutes of belting!!! This woman never backs out, sometimes I think the voice if fake! Bless you Patti! You're a treasure no one could ever have.
I was born in early 80s so I grew-up listening to the big voices of Whitney, Mariah etc. Never heard/seen this video before until today. This is so amazing. I think this may have inspired "If it's over" by Mariah. I hear similarities.
Patti LaBelle is Mariah Carey god's mother I do hear similarities. She uses auntie patti singing tenique Mariah can't glide in and out of her octaves like auntie patti
a woman of passion....a woman with a gift...and a woman who knows EXACTLY how to get under your skin and make you FEEL something. There are TONS of people on this Earth who know how to sing. Hell, I can sing.. But Patti LaBelle is one of those vocalists, who were LITERALLY born to sing...and you can tell those singers, apart from people like me who know how to hold a note. She HAS TO SING...look at her journey thru the music industry, and you'll see NUMEROUS times when she should have been out of the business for one reason or another. (poor marketing, lack of good album production, not priorotized by record labels, disco, hip hop, making a comeback in her freaking 40s, etc). But she just refused to STOP..and when you have a voice like this, that can make people applaud at the mere mention of your name, why the Hell should you stop singing. This woman has earned the title of "diva".
I say yesss Amen Hallelujah...thank you JESUS...an love you patty...love BRO Glenn an greetings from Berea Kentucky...an the best concert i went to was the Palace in Louisville ky... I sit be hind of your friend. An my Mumhuad Ale...love you Patty...
That VOICE came straight out of the GATE'S of HEAVEN!!! No earthly WORDS can give reason to the altitude of her GLORIOUS VOICE!!!! : My SPIRIT have no other choice but to SHOUT GLORY!!!!
mystapaul I guess you have a point...Aretha had already earned the respect in the sang'n department..I guess that's why they are already standing, While Hatti was still trying to prove herself
You can hear her before you see her... Ms. Patti came to sing and praise, Y'all. It's 2022 and this song still touches my spirit. Thank you, Ms. Patti. Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💖✨🙏🏾☀
I was so blessed to have been born in such a time as that! (Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Bebe and Cece Winans, OMG, too many to name!) I love music so much and can't imagine how today's young proples' soul can be touched by the talking in rap music.
Her tears at the end speak VOLUMES and represent her genuine commitment to music and how she pours everything into her performance and love for JESUS! She leaves me SPEECHLESS.
My Spine feels like someone walked over my grave as they say, goose bumps, mesmerized by this great Lady growing up, lovely inside & out X Ain't no one such as except Aretha same category without a doubt! I LOVE YOU PATTI ! ZMy Inspiration in music and faith!
I remember seeing Patti at the Fox Theater back in the late 80's *WoooooWEEEE* is all I can say cause words truly cannot describe. I remember seeing Labelle [Patti, Nona and Sarah] when I was a kid at the Municipal auditorium in Nashville. them sistas THREW DOWN!
The mohawk is high and mighty, the voice is powerful, the performance spectacular. She came for everything and got it! Patti is magnificent, tour-de-force!
I was 15 yrs old and visiting my grandmother in Troy, NY and my father called to say that the 50th Anniversary of Mowtown was on and he was recording it on our VHS machine. I watched it live while at my grandmother's house and when Patti Labelle belted out this beautiful song, I said to my Grandmother that when I get married, I will walk down the aisle to that song. We'll, 4 yrs later I met my husband and on 10/10/92, we walked down to the VHS recorded version because to my knowledge, she didn't have a recorded version. I still watch this video here and there and it brings me back to the night I watched her perform that song live. I still get emotional watching it. But so happy that in some way, Patti was with us as we made our vows. Love her and her beautiful gift!
Everything on her is Iconic, She built her legacy with her unique talent, her voice is powerful as thunder, we all respect her, nothing can touch Mama Patty ❤️
I have never noticed this before until now, her hair and dress looks and is very native and tribal. Just when I thought I couldn't love her more and then this observation. Stellar Icon.
That’s the most beautiful spirited and I cried when I first heard this in 87 ... I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Patti she’s very humble and just down to earth ... she’s a cleaning lady to .. she really does carry her own cooking & cleaning supplies
I was born in 1970 grew up with rock-n-roll from Black Sabbath to the hard metal that is today,my wife calls it Cookie Monster music And when I heard this it gave me the chills. Patti rocks🤘
In one of Patti La Belle interviews, she said she was going to saaaaaannnng whether they paid her or not,,,,,, so GOD intercede on her behalf and made sure she got paaaaaaaid!!!!!! What a GOD we serve!!!!
With a mic that has been leveled out, they could They could sing there butts off but could never go toe to toe with Patti, Chaka, Jennifer Holliday...etc.
I so understand it! Miss Patti, went through The Bluebells, to LaBelle channeling all of those starts to finish as THE PATTI LaBELLE we have come to love and appreciate, IT WAS NECESSARY! This woman is like catching lightening in a bottle, ELECTRIFYING! ❤
What I love about Auntie Patti is she will burn the house down with that voice. She does NOT care…each and every time she brings it all and you know her wings are unmatched.
At 4:50 Patti did a Simple, Subtle "Mmmhhhmm" & Still Slayed The People In The Spirit. That Tiny Note Still Overpowered Everybody On Stage. Blessed Performance.❤🙏🏿🙌
Ase ... Patti just shows the world how She's so thankful to God for the gift of talent He bestored upon her and when She realized her gift She promised Jehovah that She would use it to it's full potential. You can't do nuthin but ❤️LOVE❤️ this women folkz...lol Ain't but one and She's Patti Ms LaBelle !!!.✌️
I got to meet miss labelle when i was a kid. My dad played bass for some event at channel 8 i think. Sge was so cool and sweet. Her doo was similar to this videos. I sat there watching the stylus creating her hair design. It took like 14 to 18 cans of hair spray to complete the doo. What a voice. I got goose bumps then and 45 years later im still getting them.
Who starts out WAY UP THERE 👆🏿 AND GOES HIGHER?!?!!! Patti!
A DRAMATIC SOPRANO IF THERE EVER WAS ONE 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Yes, sir😂😂😂😂
If not then she just created it ❤
Iconic Hair

Everyone talking about Patti's voice, but her hair definitely matches up big bold and beautiful.
Patti came IN hitting notes 99% of the population can't dream of...and then took it higher!
Exactly. She showed up and showed out! This is why she’s my forever favorite.
That entrance was EPIC! ❤
She was nominated for an Emmy for this incredible performance.

She HAS TO SING...look at her journey thru the music industry, and you'll see NUMEROUS times when she should have been out of the business for one reason or another. (poor marketing, lack of good album production, not priorotized by record labels, disco, hip hop, making a comeback in her freaking 40s, etc). But she just refused to STOP..and when you have a voice like this, that can make people applaud at the mere mention of your name, why the Hell should you stop singing. This woman has earned the title of "diva".
That choir must have been so honored to work with Ms. Labelle...and how great that all must be individually to be selected by her
Patti was feeling herself. She is one of the goddesses of vocal and musical performance. Work, Miss Patti.
Chaz Michael 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 she WAAASSS feeling herself lmao
I say yesss Amen Hallelujah...thank you JESUS...an love you patty...love BRO Glenn an greetings from Berea Kentucky...an the best concert i went to was the Palace in Louisville ky... I sit be hind of your friend. An my Mumhuad Ale...love you Patty...
More like feeling the presence of the most high the tears at the end killed me
That VOICE came straight out of the GATE'S of HEAVEN!!! No earthly WORDS can give reason to the altitude of her GLORIOUS VOICE!!!! : My SPIRIT have no other choice but to SHOUT GLORY!!!!
sweetie Black amen to that!
I can't stop replaying her entrance! Those notes, that control! Wow
i’m right there with you..who walks and hits clear powerful notes like that!?..Patti!💯
That's the way a person would end a song.
The greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life
I think she holds the title of standing ovations
Yes, and she still is doing it!
mystapaul nope Aretha franklin does...They stand as soon as she steps on the stage
The difference is they stand for areatha because of. Her title
They stand for Patti because her vocal performances
mystapaul I guess you have a point...Aretha had already earned the respect in the sang'n department..I guess that's why they are already standing, While Hatti was still trying to prove herself
Prove herself????? Really ... have a good day
That woman has one of the most powerful voices ever.
You can hear her before you see her... Ms. Patti came to sing and praise, Y'all. It's 2022 and this song still touches my spirit. Thank you, Ms. Patti. Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💖✨🙏🏾☀
One of my favorite music tv moments of all time! Patti is unmatched!!
patti showed you the difference in sing and sang...
rcp11202 That is right - Ms. Thang SANG Baby!!!~
rcp11202 ikr lol
more like sing and scream
@@maryvallettakeith6146 it wasn't meant for you to receive it lol
@@maryvallettakeith6146 i assume you scream. Patti sangs
I was so blessed to have been born in such a time as that! (Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Bebe and Cece Winans, OMG, too many to name!)
I love music so much and can't imagine how today's young proples' soul can be touched by the talking in rap music.
Her tears at the end speak VOLUMES and represent her genuine commitment to music and how she pours everything into her performance and love for JESUS! She leaves me SPEECHLESS.
The way I would be screaming “You better SIIING” at the top of my voice has I been in the audience 😭😭. This woman is phenomenal
One of the most electrifying perfosnces in history.
#pattilabell
My Spine feels like someone walked over my grave as they say, goose bumps, mesmerized by this great Lady growing up, lovely inside & out X
Ain't no one such as except Aretha same category without a doubt! I LOVE YOU PATTI ! ZMy Inspiration in music and faith!
I remember seeing Patti at the Fox Theater back in the late 80's *WoooooWEEEE* is all I can say cause words truly cannot describe. I remember seeing Labelle [Patti, Nona and Sarah] when I was a kid at the Municipal auditorium in Nashville. them sistas THREW DOWN!
How dare anyone expect Patti to turn down a gift that obviously God turned up just because God didn't turn up their talent. Shine Patti shine.
The mohawk is high and mighty, the voice is powerful, the performance spectacular. She came for everything and got it! Patti is magnificent, tour-de-force!
Happy Birthday today to this queen! We Love You!!
I was 15 yrs old and visiting my grandmother in Troy, NY and my father called to say that the 50th Anniversary of Mowtown was on and he was recording it on our VHS machine. I watched it live while at my grandmother's house and when Patti Labelle belted out this beautiful song, I said to my Grandmother that when I get married, I will walk down the aisle to that song. We'll, 4 yrs later I met my husband and on 10/10/92, we walked down to the VHS recorded version because to my knowledge, she didn't have a recorded version. I still watch this video here and there and it brings me back to the night I watched her perform that song live. I still get emotional watching it. But so happy that in some way, Patti was with us as we made our vows. Love her and her beautiful gift!
Everything on her is Iconic, She built her legacy with her unique talent, her voice is powerful as thunder, we all respect her, nothing can touch Mama Patty ❤️
I have never noticed this before until now, her hair and dress looks and is very native and tribal. Just when I thought I couldn't love her more and then this observation. Stellar Icon.
This is one of the greatest performance I´ve ever hear from a singer, just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s the most beautiful spirited and I cried when I first heard this in 87 ... I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Patti she’s very humble and just down to earth ... she’s a cleaning lady to .. she really does carry her own cooking & cleaning supplies
Excuse me correction this is a 1985.
Sorry 1885 Your right now that I think about it
@@patgorden5002 your right I stand corrected. Point is I saw it and it changed my life
The greatest female vocalist of all time!!!!!!! Oh my goodness. Patti can sing "twinkle twinkle little star" and give me goose bumps!!!!
Above all of them.
She has the best version of this! She did that! ICONIC PERFORMANCE. GOES DOWN IN HISTORY AS ONE OF HER GREATEST
her voice gives me goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!
When she started walking to demonstrate my heart melted. 😭
I was born in 1970 grew up with rock-n-roll from Black Sabbath to the hard metal that is today,my wife calls it Cookie Monster music
And when I heard this it gave me the chills.
Patti rocks🤘
In one of Patti La Belle interviews, she said she was going to saaaaaannnng whether they paid her or not,,,,,, so GOD intercede on her behalf and made sure she got paaaaaaaid!!!!!! What a GOD we serve!!!!
This lady voice reaches the heavens everytime she sings...Love Ms. Labelle
She is in a class all by herself. Nobody like Patty. Nobody comes close. She has never gotten the props that are due her. I love her to life!!!!
QUEEN OF VOICES IN MY BOOK!!!Outstanding!!!
Wow! What range! No one could match patties voice at this time in her career! Her voice was at its peak!! Now that's God given talent!!! AMAZEING
Rchelle Ferrelll would eat Patti up alive vocal..range in all.
+SoulSir I'd like to say that's a tie but very very deep down that could be true lol
With a mic that has been leveled out, they could They could sing there butts off but could never go toe to toe with Patti, Chaka, Jennifer Holliday...etc.
I don't care what anyone says, this live performance is the best i have ever seen so far!! Truly amazing 👏🏿
Likewise auntie patti was untouchable.
Choir enjoying it and Ms. Labelle enjoying the e choir too. What a performance, so ICONIC
Billy Preston smile when Patti hits that first note off stage!
One of her best performances. So much energy. Never noticed until now that she's crying at the end.... my goodness. This was special.
She was crying at the beginning, if you watch closely, you'll see a tear roll down her cheek 😢
I so understand it! Miss Patti, went through The Bluebells, to LaBelle channeling all of those starts to finish as THE PATTI LaBELLE we have come to love and appreciate, IT WAS NECESSARY! This woman is like catching lightening in a bottle, ELECTRIFYING! ❤
What I love about Auntie Patti is she will burn the house down with that voice. She does NOT care…each and every time she brings it all and you know her wings are unmatched.
Now THIS is the church I want to belong to !!!
This performance gives me chills.
I've never believed in any divine or religion that we are brainwashed to seek or believe in. but when I listen to this I'm moved
At 4:50 Patti did a Simple, Subtle "Mmmhhhmm" & Still Slayed The People In The Spirit. That Tiny Note Still Overpowered Everybody On Stage.
Blessed Performance.❤🙏🏿🙌
Ase ...
Patti just shows the world how She's so thankful to God for the gift of talent He bestored upon her and when She realized her gift She promised Jehovah that She would use it to it's full potential. You can't do nuthin but ❤️LOVE❤️ this women folkz...lol
Ain't but one and She's Patti Ms LaBelle !!!.✌️
Wow!!!!.. When I'm having a bad day, I can always count on Ms. Labelle to lift my spirits!
I like when she says "choir, what you say?"
INDEED!!!!!!
I know right. Choir what you say
I got to meet miss labelle when i was a kid. My dad played bass for some event at channel 8 i think. Sge was so cool and sweet. Her doo was similar to this videos. I sat there watching the stylus creating her hair design. It took like 14 to 18 cans of hair spray to complete the doo. What a voice. I got goose bumps then and 45 years later im still getting them.
Patti gives me life! I watch this everyday!
Aretha Queen of soul , Pattie Goddess of Soul!!!!!
What a gift! I been crying, worried bout something I can,t control, but when the time comes I won,t be alone!!!!
