Laura took on the Nolan Strong and The Diablos (also done by The Jesters) doo-wop classic on 'Gonna take a miracle' (where Laura did all the back-up vocals, not with Labelle on that track, as some people believe). Here is another classic interpretation of the tune, this time with Laura's Harmony Group.

  • Where was this taken?

  • Point State Park, Pittsburgh, Pa.,, USA, June 11, 1994.

  • What do you mean Labelle did not do any background vocals Gonna take a Miracle? Patti Labelle's voice is knee deep on that cut!

  • You're probably thinking of "The Bells", luvureally. Patti is VERY prominent on THAT track (she even released a live version of it herself on her 'Live! One Night Only' set a few years ago) I read on Patti's site some years ago that LaBelle did not perform on "The Wind", "Spanish Harlem" or "Desiree" from 'Gonna take a miracle'. Those three songs are pure Laura Nyro on all of the vocals. Thanks for writing. Luvu2. Really. (smile)

  • Went back and listened again. That is definitely Patti on there. "Turning me around, Turning me around" in middle of song and at end of song "Gonna take, gonna take a miracle. That is definitely Patti. Those are definitely Patti's gospel riffs.

  • Maybe I didn't make myself clear, KemuLuxons (my bad). The three songs Laura sings all the vocals on are "The Wind", "Spanish Harlem" and "Desiree". The ALBUM/CD is 'Gonna take a miracle'. Patti, Nona and Sarah are definitely on the SONG "It's Gonna Take A Miracle". Thanks for writing tho, is case someone else also misunderstood what I was trying to say.

    Best,

    denknee

  • I have a two set CD of her songs and this is one of my favorites. I can just feel that summer wind, can't you darlings?

  • Love this song. "As he lay warm and tender in my arms."

    bristlestomp is right on

    "denknee, you are the keeper of the flame. thanks."

  • Absolute Perfection!

  • denknee, you are the keeper of the flame. thanks from another fan of a genius....

  • SING THAT SWEET ACCAPELA LAURA

  • Denknee is right. The three songs s/he names from "Gonna Take a Miracle" are solo Laura. Patti Labelle sings with Labelle on the restof the album. Listen closely to "Wind" and the others -- that's 100 percent Laura.

    Michele Kort's Laura bio backs this up.

  • just (pause) unbelievable - i have no words... THANK YOU thank you for posting this xoxox
