PATTI LABELLE SEXPRESS THE ISSUE OF WHAT DO CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU AT THIS TIME WHEN THE SEASON IS RIGHT MERRY AND JOLLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME YOU GO GIRL SING THIS YOUR DAM HEART GIRL
season greeting!!!! apparently somebody important that you had to make a reply back to.... I laugh at simply mined folks b4 you think to reply back leave it alone, and try enjoy your holiday season.. there's no need to debate this...
I've been to very few live concerts in my life. One of them was Patti Labelle in 1995 and I will never forget it or her. I seem to recall at one time she actually put the microphone down and sang straight out. Someone out in the audience said "it's ok, Patti, we know you're for real"....and that's just it....she's for real
i love Patti LaBelle. but ive been loving this song since i was 11. i didnt know who sang it then. im from old school. so i gotta have the Emotions on the radio at Christmas time.
for some reason they had it on youtube, but had to remove it. you might want to get a cd or download it, i really dont hear it much on the radio anymore. so i bought the slow jams christmas cd.
its good to listen to christmas songs all yr round..cause as soon as its over all christmas stations and songs dissapear until christmas again...and its a shame cause there are some really good ones
I love both versions. The Emotions Harmonized very well, but this version seems full and well rounded. I could really squeeze and hold my baby tight on this version even though the song is about lonely people. Go Patti!!
Patti is from Philly. My hometown. I support her but this song is not for her. She sings it in key but using her Patti voice to itThe background is awful.
I agree with you. I like Patti too but this is the Emotions song. When Wanda, Janet and Sheila says "What do they do, what do they do? at the end. You believe them!!! It's as if they are speaking from experience.. Ok, I just got it. Patti said "she's talking about the lonely people. She said "they wish". The Emotions seem to be talking about themselves as they can relate, as in "US". Those of us who are lonely on Christmas. Not "them" as in other people. (If that make sense) LOL.
Patti murdered that song. Damn.If I didn't cry the whole time. I don't believe anybody else could have covered it as well if not better than The Emotions.
This was a very nice video. Thank you for posting. The album is excellent. My favorite are It going to be a Merry Christmas and What do the lonely do. Excellent background vocals on the LP as well.
Yo, I don't celebrate any holidays but Patti's CD is slammin and I can listen without all the extra stuff that is associated with X-mas that normally turns me off about Xmas songs.
Patti's voice is love and love and more love. Wonderful songs, colorful vocals, warmful soul. This is what christmas music should be. The best xmas cd around, great production, soulful melodies. God bless Patti
Og god a magnific album, so many wonderful songs, my favorites are every year every christmas, hollidays mean more to me, It's Going To Be A Merry Christmas!! God a magic album, Patti's voice is love.
i always listen to the emotions first....then patties after....same song different affect
