Patti Labelle & Edwin Hawkins- "My Soul Needs To Pray" 1995

[SoulTooSoul]

This is what you call praise and worship. Patti knows how to minister to the saved and unsaved. Patti's voice is like an earthquake, she can shake your whole foundation. As long as she has breath she will sing, shout, moan, and wail. The audience was having a spiritual experience. The Holy Spirit is real.

My soul needs to pray

[baroccomoderno]

Oh wow! She is soooo in the groove there! And there's just no stopping her when it ends. Love it how she keeps going. This could (should) have gone on for another half hour if you ask me. I just can't sit still hearing this! And that's coming from a white European atheist... This stuff is universal!

[DYNODRUM]

Yes !,I "Need TO pray".... all THRU THE DAY AND TONIGHT ..WHAT A SINGER , SHE IS A BLAST OF POWER..CAN WE ALL PRAY... NOW!!!!

Oh my goodness. Thank you for posting this. I watched this when this first aired and was going crazy trying to find a recording of this. I truly thought that this was a lost cause until now. Again, HUGE THANKS!!!!!

[forhissake]

Just like Ella, she does not need to know the words to rock out with this classic tune. Its Patti and the choir with lots of gods gifts.

[chandiggy]

Patti is awesome, she didnt know the words and looks like she was singing from the telepromter and still kicked out

[marcolabelle]

this might sound off place being a gospel clip but patti's make-up is fierce and on point here! love this look of hers.

[stillwill2]

[dwwiz1]

Any more of this performance?

[kanji79]

WHOOOOOOAAA I remember the original version of this song off of The Album "Edwin Hawkins Music & Arts Seminar Live with the Oakland Symphony Orchestra" Lynette Hawkins Stephens was the Lead and the song was just a tad faster! That album was the BEST Choir Album EVER RECORDED..I wish they would re-print that on cd! That Album also had the original "Worship the Lord" and the choir version of, "Oh Happy Day" on it!

[dwwiz1]

Is there anymore of this performance? Would love to hear what she sang next if she did..

[dwwiz1]

My soul has been uplifted...Thank you for this posting

[BIGTONY07]

Patti can sing any song and bring the house down!!! She put's so much of herself and energy into every performance she does.

[juliovoz]

Patti has always been a powerful force of nature. She can move anybody who listens to her. I live in Mexico and I have always loved her amazing voice... God bless her EVER..

[Dailyprayr]

My God. I've been waiting for someone to post this. Thank you so much.

I love how she felt her way through this song without the real words. She rocked! Please post the rest of the show if u have.

I know she sang the mess outta "Somewhere" this night too.

[akdyer03]

Okay does anyone else besides me think that Patti was actually meant to sing Gospel from the start! What a gift of a voice man I just can't get over it!
