Patti LaBelle - If Only You Knew

[Pinkgreen190]

Patti betta sang her face off!!!

[liclak]

Time 3:48 - 4:10 can't no one can sing those notes in this R&B era back then and even now!

[kakesters1]

she's got a nice natural goin on there lol

[P4875]

Chills when she hit that high note

[moroney1]

most underated singer ever, incredibly talented

[liclak]

From time 3:45 to 4:20 I got chills cause she blew that song! There is no other...but Kelly Price!

[kentragin]

No matter how many times I see this video I'm still amazed at the raw energy and power she emits. She hits those notes effortlessly. There will never be another Patti!

[nezzie1970]

The best female vocalist period!!!!!

[leogirl318]

nicki minaj copied that do lol

[DMScottful]

If anyone has Pattie doing the song, "Don't Make Me Over", could you please post it ......Thanx. can't find it anywhere. I am also looking for her version of "The Bells", cant find it either.

[cegaspire]

YESSSSS, PATTI!!!!!....#YouBettaDoIt...­.#GoHeadOnMamaPatti....*throws shoe at computer*

[kentragin]

One of my favorites songs of all time!

[MrFoejoe]

I aint feeling her hair

[alefua2006]

Did anyone notice how far away the mic is from her? That's POWERFUL pipes.



[OneTrillNigga07]

my grammie used to rock that hair style in 89

[gfreakj]

Such a powerful voice. Emotionally overwhelming. God gave her such a beautiful voice.

[bigmotionpic]

omg she is great..she has the best i ever heard..i mean damn she touched me...thru this...wow.....

[Bookworme95]

@danadre0101 I don't ever remember seeing a video for this. I was little then but I remember that this was a little bit before the time where VH1 and MTV were becoming popular and the music video became the new thing. (Correct me if I'm wrong but that's sort of how I remember it. I was very young then)

[7World2]

she better slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[timmy841212]

@danadre0101 No Patti didn't make a music video until "New Attitude" in 1985.

[jinalanguniafrika]

this woman had me sobbing by the time 4:59 came i was GONE. her voice cleanses my soul. love you patti!!!!!!!!!

[ClemmyYntema713]

Download the audio from this video at searchripgrab doht cohm.

[dpaz]

3:44 and on seriously choked me up...i dunno. I'm a native american and she resonates with my heart. Love ya patti

[weathersorceress]

i love this... sooo amazing...

[101NICHELE]

LOVE THE ENDING

[claudiajackson41]

I love this song so much. It brings back such memories for me. I once dedicated this song to Michael and whenever I hear it I think of him and say to myself 'if only Michael knew how much I love him and need him. Like I said, such memories.

Patti Labelle is a great singer. She has a one of a kind voice.

[reallyblessed]

I couldn't imagine anyone being able to sing this with the same emotion as she does here. It can't be done.

[GospelAccording2ME]

She never ceases to amaze me. There's something to be said for an artist that can sing a song live and offer a better performance that the recorded version.

[rtglt]

im liking those legendary vocals and that hair too

[Southerngirl675]

thanks for posting this.i was so in love when this song came out.its good.

[schs19947]

GO ON MS PATTI....She took it to another level @ 3:31....that was the beginning of the end....kills Ms Patti with those high notes...that's her signature...IM DONE!!!!!

[themrduragss]

beast

[voceangelo]

Patti is BEAST! The power and control in that voice is almost operatic. Love her!

[xxkydxx]

chilllllls!

[BlackLaw2020]

vintage! she sings this one different everytime and it sounds great every time.

[MisterCrazyLegs]

unfortunately, you just dont see most vocalists, man up enuf, to sing live. Lets face it, you have to know what you're doing and there has to be a connection with the audience. And most of these 'wanna-bes" out here now, could give a damm about connecting with you, the ticket buyer....they want your coins and then they'll think about connecting with you. Patti is the real deal, all day and all night.

[tyee2005]

@MisterCrazyLegs Coko from SWV does a very good rendition of this song.

[MusicGod2008]

@tyee2005 Coko sure does, Patti even said so!!!

[steph2buysell]

patti is awesome got damn that was just spirit in my fucking soul shit i love her loud ass voice its sooo soothing and i cant say that about alot of singers

[jeffreyBboy]

one word F A B U L O U S !!!!!!!!

[jeffreyBboy]

one word F A B U L O U S !!!!!!!!

[jesparza562]

omg that falsetto run at around 2:40 is absolutely insane

[hatedbyniccaz]

if you listen to this one and the one she sang on soultrain back in the day...i LOVE how she NEVER sings a song the same..

[egocrusher]

not one note was ever off....she's out of this world..

[marcdogg7]

Impecable Talent

[LILGUCCI333]

Go Patti

[romienomie]

I don't know if there is a better singer than Patti.

[MKLuciouSTV]

@romienomie thats what i thought i love me sum patti d'atra hicks sang the hell outa this song in tyler perry's play whats done in the dark comes to the light just watch i know patti is legend but d'atra really out did patti i can't even lie :)

[MKLuciouSTV]

Respond to this video... heres the title to the video because i can't post the link

"Nurse Trudy Expresses Herself - Whats Done In The Dark" she has a very unique voice and unique way of singing

[SelectMomentum]

@romienomie No one. Other than Aretha Patti is not only an amazing real singer but a fucking national treasure. Sorry about the language but she her voice does that to my puertorrican self.

[keemy281]

One thing I love about Patti is that shes a real singer....plus her songs (like this one) are the type that you cant half ass do...you either sing it or don't.

[pinkyz3700]

she is a really good singer. no one can try to sing like dat.

[prince21781]

patti just destroys this song and its impossible that anyone could even to try to get on her level.

[MrNytn2001]

thank you miss patti.

and i'm so fond of you.

:-)

[tamecagriffin]

LOVE ALWAYS

[b7hug]

Just beautiful, beautiful. I am getting married to this song.

[bibbi]

Patti must have been singing this song before its release because her style of dressing and hair and post cosmetic surgery looks like b4 1984. Whatever, she sang the damn thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1, lol!!!!!!!!!

[Magamaguitam]

Isn't this amazing?

[LightCoffee38]

What a voice! Such emotion! Love it, love it!!!

[SoulSir]

Patti sounds flawless, i love it!!

[FredericWatts]

yes thanks for having this up, unlike the other videos this version still gives me chills.

[timmy841212]

I'm just gonna go on and say this: Patti LaBelle is ahead of her time. That song is just plain effin' timeless and her 1984 performances of it are mesmerizing!

Did she do this after the Soul Train performance or was it before?

[hhbgffhfbgf]

She is a legend.

[Elegance469]

I can say for certain that the band behind her isn't playing the original track that's accompanying her.

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

and who cares?

[Elegance469]

Somone piss in your cheerios?

[hatedbyniccaz]

i don't think they was being rude just making a point.

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

no, I don't mean in a bad way.. You know how us blacks makes comments and its not what it means sometimes? they was using bad in a good term....

[STORMYB]

mouth aint even near the mic!

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

thanx's so much for bringing this back onto you tube....

[hatedbyniccaz]

your welcome. i have ALOT of videos that people have taking down or got deleted for having up...imma post them all when i get a chance and if youtube deletes me just catch them before i go :-(..lol

[STORMYB]

thank you! i always turn the vids into mp3s for my zune..lol

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

Chile could you hear the host stating how bad Patti was when the song ended?
