This was such a riveting performance! Even if Ms Patti forgot the lyrics, she sure knows how to play it off and not skip a beat. It didn’t take away from the performance. Patti has an over the top instrument and you have to give that to her. Anyone singing with her knows to look out! I loved Michael!!! Great video!
I think she couldn't remember the words to her part she was supposed to sing more than "I believe" and "wooo". But she's still the best there is. Crazy diva, that she is.
@CityPriestess > My thoughts exactly. She did throw in a lot of ahhhh's and yeaaa's too. But this is still one of my favourite live versions of this duet and still love this song like mad...
These are two the most soulful voices in music and they sang such a beautiful song together. I can't believe that I missed this tribute concert to Michael. Thank Gawd for YT and the folks that put this up. This just made my day.
this touches me so deep..i had 2 cry...lol but now im fine again. like this song:)heared it on vh1 for the first time today-but this version is much more intensive...:)
heck I agree with the "bitchers" here...Michael should REALLY find a good barber who will make him a *modern hair-do. he looks like a conductor of the 1970s...
Michael McDonald has always been one of my very favorite artist. He is superb and so very talented and has the most soulful voice ever!!! Keep it coming!!!
There was a time when the lists got plenty of good music as this song that required a compromised composition. Sad to see that today's music consumers go for senseless pieces just because of the media distribution.
Ok. I think people fail to realize that people's voices are just like their body. It gets tired. The vocal cords need to be maintained like a car. Climate will effect the vocal cords also. With that said, Patti rippd the song to pieces. No one can out do her vocally. She has been around for over 40 yrs. Who the hell can do that if they didn't take care of themselves? Her voice was a little horse, but string also. She could have been sick, anything could happen. Go ahead Mama Patti.
I love this song. Pattie & Michael are just so inspiring. the music, the voices are sounds you can just listen to all the time without feeling like your soul is running aways because the sounds are so harsh and un natural. Bravo
Both my parents favourite song at the time it came out. But they never knew it, because they were separated at the time. That same year my mother passed away. This song brings me lot of memories.
I absolutely, positively love both Patti and Micheal. Theny song the hell out of that song. I have chills on my arms and down my back. Yes, YEs YEs! Y'all right Micheal is so damn cool. Patti is such a cut-up, she just can't help it.
Michael is smooth as silk, he sounds absolutely genius and fantastic. Patty has sounded better, she was much better on the album version. I also think they slowed it down too much on this version. But great song.
patti is not a coke head...maybe she forgot her words or something...i hate when yall compare her and aretha their not the same people they sing in different tones anyway...yall know patti can fuck up any song...so quit hating on patti 4real everybody has their bad days....
Two legends. It's amazing that they can still perform so well. For those saying that Patti screams, do you really think she would have maintained her voice all these years if she was screaming?
You can't be serious. Vocally Patti doesn't want to see Aretha. I think Patti is a great performer, but she doesn't have anything vocally on Aretha screaming and singing are the difference between the two. I live for Patti though.
I agree. Patti screams more than she sings. Aretha's smooth tonal quality and styling is what sets her apart from Patti and others. Patti has one of the strongest chest tones in the business though.
Miracles DO happen! They never really got together for the video clip shooting, but some years later we have them shining brighter than ever. Though this version is quite languid still make me shiver.
