[pattifan]

This was too amazing for words to ever explain!

[lex1eleven]

hope they dont take this vid down!!! i thought i was the only one that noticed the choir's faces, they were in amazement....got a standing O from the crowd and "ALL HAIL" from Oprah and Tom Cruis toward the end....even thou her voice wasnt in perfect shape she still delivered!!

[lauriroset]

@lex1eleven

When I posted the audio file which I recorded of Patti singing this song at her UNCF Tribute 2 years ago, they took it down for copyright infringement, because I put song name and Sam Cook's name in title and tags.

I reposted it without title and no Cook tags, and they allowed it to stay up. I'm surprised you've been allowed to keep it up, but maybe it's b/c you don't have Cook's name in your tags or title...

The account where I have the whole Tribute is "MyExclusiveVideos"...

[MrCrackheadWise]

This performance is mind-blowing. Patti blew EVERYONE away...see the reaction from the people in the choir behind Patti towards the end...their faces...they were in awe!

[Kevin48391]

Yes! Yes! Patti was simply amazing. Once the shoes came off I knewit was over...she killed it....Fuckin Amazin!!!

[andreaesergioonUtube]

Pure energy!

[richmartinjr]

RIP Michael Jackson... God Bless Patti Labelle - an angel here on earth!!!!
