Patti Labelle- "I've Been Loving You Too Long" 1987

Patti sings I've Been Loving You Too Long by Otis Redding, and she delivers, commands, and WOWs the audience with her performance. (This must have been the year when Patti would hit those INSANE high notes while she had the same hairdo she wore in the Ashford & Simpson concert singing "Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand.")

WOW! This is an amazing... most AMAZING version of this song. I agree 100% with SoulSir, she has a remarkable voice at 2:37 and 3:07- 3:12, I thought you made it go higher but... it was natural.

Pati LaBelle has the most purest voice!

So beautiful. Patti stomped that one.Nice, different than Tina Turner's slow, driving, sexy and sensual version.

Pati, Pati, Pati... Your version is SOOO soulful! While you sing so high I sink to low... Tina's, Aretha's, (The original) Otis, and all the other women and men who sang this, can't compare to your HIGH voice! I thought it was a scam at 2:53- 3:14... But remembered that you've got a REALLY HIGH VOICE!
