I think this one is more discipline with Patti I think the one she did for his birthday was more GOSPEL this one is more Presenting to the President ( White) back in the days.
I TELL U, IT'S A BIG COMPETITION BETWEEN THIS RENDITION & THE VERSION PATTI LABELLE TRIBUTED TO FRANK SINATRA ON HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY!!! AMAZING!!! Beautiful attire from head to toe thhough!!!! Go Patti!!!
This is from CBS' "We the People 200: The Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Constitution of the United States" (Sept. 17, 1987) taped in Philadelphia and hosted by Walter Cronkite.
dont blame your shortcommings on anyone else but yourself... you and you alone are responsibile for your hopes and future...stop whining, expecting a government "program" to sustain you. GWB thank God for you, your wisdom, your faithfulness, your vision!
USA is part of the Americas, but not the Americas itself.... don't you ever had geography classes on your school???? Bush destroyed "America" by sure, starting with the education system!!!
well this performance was a little easier, as Patti's voice was still very light...by '94 her voice had darkened a little and the upper register not as gentle. i enjoy them both for different reasons. The one with Frank, she took it to church!
@minstrelprophet I liked this one better, cuz she threw some Ethel Merman, in it...just goes to show how unique her range is. Somedays, she can just blast thru a song with all those wild , nasaly, head notes...and then she'll turn around and give you those LOUD chest notes. Nowadays, she sings more in a falsetto. And that yodel of hers is always in top shape. Sounds a lot like Nancy Wilson, when she yodels. You cant take your eye off her when she sings because you dont know what she'll do next.
thanks for posting this video! patti always takes my breath away! I love the way her voice just bellos out of that little body! everytime she sings it tells a story that traps you in it's story line!
patti looks so gourgeous she looks like a barbie doll a beautiful black Queen with a universal voice the voice of true and hope is stand in a place of her own no one comes close
Yeah Whitney is the closest she has the power....Mariah and Celine can't do Powerful octave belting. Whitney is the closet thing....Whitney may not be able to hit the whistle register but in her prime she could sing very high!
well true, but its cause whitney sings from the back of her throat like cristina, thats why they sound oh so mighty-powerful, and they are, its just that celine and mariah sings mainly from their DIAPHRAM.....thats all...comment back!
Whitney uses every ounce of her to sing. She uses head voice a lot which I think she mastered. Listen to Whitney sing "A quiet place" or "I am changing" She switches techniques in them. Mariah doesn't have that much of a head voice, but she can belt just not all that powerful. Celine on the other hand I think does a mixture of chest and head. I'm lovin this comment back...lol!
the olny singer to come anywhere near the power that Patti LaBelle has is Chaka Khan....Patti and Chaka are the only 2 female singers that can reach notes that are unmatched by anybody.
Patti is in a league of her own. Chaka is good as hell, but Patti can go places that Chaka can't if Chaka was on Patti's level she would have been entered in the Guiness Book of World Records right along with Patti.
No one in the world can top the power of Ms. Patti labelle. Not Aretha, Mahalia, Tina...No Body! The power and grace combine puts her in a class of her own, WAY above the REST!!
I have ALWAYS been an Aretha fan. #1 fan. I am only 20yrs old, but in my own regard am a VERY educated person on music (esp. "oldies" and the many Patti's and Aretha's involved). From 11 yrs to now I have loved Aretha and only hated Patti because of her "gossip" to be a better singer--I just didn't think so at all back then. I am older now and have been listening to her for the last 6 months and have FALLEN in love! I love it all! Her chest voice range, power, etc. are all SUPERB!
Mahalia Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle. These are some women who set the gold standard in my opinion. Patti is my favorite. I love this performance. It was once said by another famous singer that Patti is from another world. She seems to create notes unreachable from Earthly beings.
This is Patti at her best. She is in perfect voice here. Notice that there isn't a lot of whoooo's and yaaaaah's in this performace. She's in control of the song. The big notes just flow from her mouth effortlessly. Nowadays it's seems she have to strain to hit notes. This is not screaming. Most people don't know the difference between screaming and singing loud. Patti's voice is big and don't need much amplification. Some people just got it like that. And Patti got it like that. Uh Huh!!!!!
i must agree with you patti was in perfect voice on this video and those notes flowed from her like magic! NOWADAYS with the changes and affects menonpause has had on patti makes it seem like it's harder for her to get up there like she use to! i agree with you on that! but none the less she will still blow them socks off! unlike aretha franklin patti has maintained the foundation of her voice.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sure she can sing, but her high notes are really screamed on lots of performances. And her tone is not beautiful at all. But here it was a balance performance, so yeah she sings softly and powerfully at the same time without screaming.
Patti is a rare fach, she is a dramatic soprano, with a sizeable voice and that is saying something, bc people in her fach, are known for having voices big enough to cut through the orchestra, for her to have the control she does it is phenomenal. They dont even make spintos like they used to,and I am a spinto tenor, let alone dramatics.
What are you talking about? Patti is awesome? Please indicate which songs she screams the next time you post. This is her style. Love it or leave it. She owes it.
When God said let their be a Patti LaBelle, he destroyed the blue prints!! MY LORD, I am so grateful to have been a part of this world while Patti is still here!! I want to be in that number when the Saints and Patti goes marching in, Patti when you get to heaven, you can sing as lound and long as you want and I want to be right there with you!! AMEN!
It is amazing how God can give one lady so much talent. You could divide Patti Labelle's voice by 100 and still have one hundred great voices. She is a once in a lifetime voice, I am glad I got to hear it in my lifetime. Awesome
one of her best performances ever...my fav singer of all time
