Lesson to all the Beyonce's, Rhianna's, Aleycia Keys, etc.. No lip-syncing, no auto tune or pro-tools, no background dancers, no pyrotechnics, no big stage sets or wild choreography. Just plain Soul singin. LEARN!!!
it is if she is in her room singing along with the record player. i wish i can sing like that laying on the floor. Damn, i love you patti. She is the greatest!!!!!!!!
@MusixMan81 Beside the fact that LOVER MAN is a Billie Holliday song and NOT Dinah Washington, Miss Washington has been dead since 1963, It is highly unlikely that she ever even heard of Patti Labelle. Patti didn't even begin recording with The Bluebelles until 1963.
@ShangoJamal She actually did when it was Patti and the Bluebells. She sent her a telegram asking her to stop singing her song. Patti wrote about it in her book.
No one but Patti would lay on the ground & perform a song. This women is awesome. I would have been proud 2 call her my mom. So I can say, I bet ur mom cant lay on her back & roll on the florr & SANG!!!!!!
Didn't Patti have the flu when she did this tour? I don't wanna get the lieing on nobody but thats what i had heared. Maybe she didnt but if it is true...SHE IS A BAD LADY!
I believe she had the flu/cold on an earlier tour. I think it was the "Released" tour in 1980/1981..and one of the performances was recently released on CD. The only reason I know is because the show was in DC (my hometown) and the one show me and my family was supposed to go to was cancelled. But the next night, she did TWO shows, after she felt a little better..and we were there. She even mentions doing the two shows on the CD. It was at Constitution Hall in DC.
In the words of Whoopi Goldberg when she first saw Patti sing live and roll across the floor, Designer Gown, Hair Pressed, Face Beat....And singing HIGH!! "Now That's A Bad BITCH!!" Sing on Patti sing on!
who the hell does that? damn patti you know you the shit when you can sing an entire song on your back and still hit notes! there's no one like her, no one before her, and certainly no one after her! she is what it means to be 1 of a kind!
This performance is beyond category! Patti is one of the greatest singer/performers in the history of music!!! No performer could touch what she did here.
Great song and those clothes she wore in the 80's and super hairstyles. Patti can sing any style and patti-fy it. She is the most fun entertainer ever. Incredible. Saving this one for later late night music snacking.
Actually it is easier to sing while lying on your back, it puts your upper body in perfect alignment so you breath perfectly for singing. This performance is INSANE!! She is so great.
Now that's a singer for you. If you can sing an entire song on your back and still be able to breathe fully.. That's sick. She got the flu on this video.
I don't like this version at all.I do love that she's sangin her ass off layin down though.Now,that's talent.Whitney shut this song down though.

Correct me if i'm wrong but how can Dinah Washington had said that when this was Billie Holiday's song didn't she sing this before Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington told her to stop singer her d@#% songs. That made me laugh. Patti has a God given talent and you can't cage it. That's my mama

I read articles of people begging her not to sing their songs because it was too much work once people heard her sing it to compare.
