[JacksonObamafan4life]

[fisherlove11320q]

NONA!!!! YOU BETTA WEAR THEM PANTS, YOU BLACK BITCH!!!!!!!LMAO!!!!

[jamm210]

at 4:48 Patti lets her 2 babes let loose for a while, then at 5:15 she reminds them why they were her "back-up"!! u smash em patti :D

[bearguySF]

Does anyone know why Patti & Nona seem to be friends & they sing to each other, while Sarah is often left alone.

I saw their reunion in Oakland CA. It happened there - Sarah was way on the other side of stage w/ her own mic.

Is there bad-blood between Patti (an ego- Diva) & Sarah?

[encc007]

@bearguySF , there's no bad blood between Patti and Sarah. Patti is just in love with Nona's drag and how fierce her body still is after all these years. Patti can't help herself, she just goes over there and plays with Nona more than she does with Sarah...btw, it's none throughout the industry how super nice and "ego-less" Patti is.

[TheDramaReport]

what happened to the video with pattie and luther vandross from the one night only videos

[vanindigo]

These beautiful, talented women Rock in every way! Totally love Nona - she's not only Hot but what a voice, in fact all three groove together so fantastically! Keep on keeping On Ladies - your THE best!!!

[LittleJ1576]

5:15 - 5:30 Patti know that's why she was the leader!

[tkafitness]

[kourtneymazyck]

I enjoy the live version much more than the recorded version

[spintation]

Nona is just the best--fearless and gracious.

[shannonD68]

Nona Hendryx has a fantastic body for her age. She has ALWAYS looked good. That ass is still off the hook.

[kindacute06]

lol @ 5:45

[hyred4u]

What a comeback! I haven't given the Back To Now CD a break unles I'm playing Something Silver, Chameleon, etc....

[Noodleydoo]

Itsthejoint--I agree. When I first saw this vid, I had no idea Nona and Sarah were even on the program. But when Nona came in from stage right in that amazing get-up--I was like YES!!!!! Nona do NOT change!

[ramardo1994]

I have a full dvd of LaBelle: Live In Concert and it is half and hour concert from 1974 to 1976 during their Nightbirds, Phoenix and Chameleon tour. It also has a bonus clip of Release Yourself from 1991 with Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash and the lovely Patti LaBelle.

[2breal08]

I think this was the first time they had reunite after they had broke up. They didn't have additional background singers like they do now when they perform together.

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

It was and the song is featured on Patti's 1991 album Burnin'. Nona co-wrote this song and James Budd Ellison their late musical director produced this song. Budd is the man playing the piano. I saw a clip of them performing on a radio show recetnly live with an instrumental and they stil got it

[Noodleydoo]

I love how Nona starts singing "Messing With My Mind" in the middle of this--very cool.

[phillysongbird64]

If Patti can release the top, why can't Nona release the bottom lol. I can't wait until they get on tour, they've still got it.

[bigbiz970]

they are the greatest female group ever No one can touch their vocal ranges or power

[itsthejoint]

Oh, Nona. Don't ever change.

*shakes my head and smiles*

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Thank you. Nona has the right to show what God blessed her with. Nobody bitched and complained when Prince had his skinny ass showing on the MTV video awards so they need to leave Nona alone. Thanks for the great comment.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@itsthejoint

No way is this woman 66 yrs old!

[mylenh]

Love It!

[divinejulia]

OMG! I can't believe Nona wore that at Patti's show... she's not even wearing pants.... they're buttless chaps. I love this performance!!!! So rad!

[zanthus7]

Nona has always been the punk rocker.

[1ace1169]

Damn Nona has a very sexy azz!!

[BigWhiteBoyLuvsPatti]

Budd was jumping off that piano like Prince. I miss him....that band was tight....like Nona's a** in those pants.

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Nona co-wrote this song and Budd produced it. It should have been released as a single.

[lex1eleven]

damn did Nona really wear that? haha way ahead of there time!!!!

[MatteaMarie]

Nona REALLY released herself.

[phillybrotha]

I'm gonna hurt Nona with those pants. LOL...

[darcellbios]
