I Miss the Valley Forge Music Fair where this was filmed. I am was living there the year that this was done and You could not get seats unless you knew someone high up at that time for the filming of Oprah.
I don't think there is another artist, in the past or present, who has more enthusiasm and spontaneity than Patti Labelle. When she is on stage, she is truly in the moment and having fun. When Patti has fun, everyone has fun. That's something you don't see in performers today.
It would be impossible for me to be a Patti Labelle background singer I'd be sittin there listening to her the whole time that I would forget to sing myself!
yup, this pr4mance is just all out stellar. not too many artists can sing and teach someone else how to sing at the same time and stay on point without being easily distracted. I just luv the long high note at Find. she was out of this world. who would've knew this was just 1 day b4 her BDAY. im surprised she didn't get dizzy when she did a 1080
Singing like this shows the control Patti has with her voice. I don't understand how someone could say Patti doesn't have control. What makes her different is she's a dramatic soprano and you don't see or hear that type of voice in main stream music.
