Now this is the Patti Labelle I fell in love with. This woman's voice is like a force of nature. It's almost unbelievable her power and control. Even without a microphone her voice travels over other singers with no effort at all. It's funny because at 1:06 1:07 she sound kinda like Donald Duck and I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just amazing the things she could do. Sadly, though this was when her voice was at it's most powerful. She is unable to sing like this today. But I still love her.

@exxodus29 You are so fucking goofy lmfao

[drpastry]

@exxodus29 lmao daffy duck not "THE DONALD"

[LenovoFightsPoverty]

What does "Wade in the water" mean ?

Is it spiritual ?

[seangbennett]

@LenovoFightsPoverty - Yes, this is indeeed spirital. Please know that the there are 2 things that this deals with - 1. Baptism, 2. God had the isreallites going through the water to get to the other side (safety) - Also the most important reason i believe is that it was a slave tune - This song let slaves know to go accross the water. "God's gonna trouble the water" means that he would do something to the water to help them be safe. Really, once crossed their scents were gone! cant be tracked

[went2berklee]

@LenovoFightsPoverty African slaves would sing it to each other as a hint to move through the rivers when escaping to freedom so as not to be caught by overseers

[lemoncurry19]

Amazing Song & Vocals!!!

[trentnjones]

Listen to the background trills she does after the 50 second mark go on!

[eternalsilverlight]

I got a question is a trill like a really fast vibrato?

[trentnjones]

A trill is basically a move between two notes a scale at a fast pace. Usually, it is accompanied by vibrato.

[SilverAdonis]

THis Patti and Prince!

[STORMYB]

u cannot say his name or youtube will take it down

[flobtheblob]

@STORMYB why will they take it down?

[PiaJr]

Get that woman a microphone!!! I've always wondered when and where this happened? And why no one gave Patti a mic?! Not that she needed it!

[STORMYB]

How do you know she didnt have a mic? I mean it does sound like she didnt!

[hatedbyniccaz]

Because she was very low unlike you know who did..lol.... And i believe she came from the back to the front.

[STORMYB]

its one hell of a performance like only patti can deliver

[STORMYB]

I sure hope you will post it!

[SilverAdonis]

She does that no mic thing to add flare and dramatic touch to her performance, they say she is the only artist who can do that and be heard by every seat in a large theater, I heard that from a ABC news program on Patti, have it on tape also

[bidonpenn]

Mahalia Jackson used to do that too. There is a video of her on youtube singing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" where she does it.
