Empress Of Soul Patti LaBelle & Michael Bolton sing "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing", "Heaven Must Have Sent You", and "You're All I Need" ( Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrelle ). Motown Live! Hot, incredible and fierce vocals!

  • All I can say, " @ 2:57 Patti Labelle gave that tremendous band/orchestra that was backing them up a run for their money and tore their asses a new sound. Patti's voice was empowering chords of a serious French Horn & Baritone Horn SECTION with her holding them notes CAREFULLY and POWERFULLY coming down the scale. While doing this, she pointed and directed Michael Bolton to "free style." Michael took that direction indeed, hitting some serious "Patti Notes" of his own with some serious range.

  • hamzah: He can't hit the insane notes anymore, but he's still great.

  • this clip is one of my favorites.i just love me some patti labelle.that last note on your all i need to get by at the end of the song was genius.thank you youtube.now i can see patti anytime i want.maurice from chicago.

  • Our community choir has their Holiday Concert this weekend ha ha. This vid always inspires me and I watch it before any live gig. Reminds me to pay attention to the others, and be 'present'! Look at what can happen!

  • Such An Amazing Performance.

  • This still gives me chills and I have watched it at least 100 times over the years. If you put a gun to my head, I could not decide between this and the Luther/Patti/Gladys tribute to Smokey Robinson as my favorite non-solo Patti moment.

  • Great performance! Even more impressive if you know that MB substituted in last min 4 an ill Levi Stubbs. He's reading lyrics on teleprompter 0:29, 1:21, 1:58. Improvised PERFECTLY.

  • Two great singers! 

  • Favorite part at 3:22-to end

  • I loved Michael Bolton before this, but I gained a whole new level of respect after this. Very few singers, male or female, can hold their own with Patti. He did the doggone thing. This is one of my favorite duets of all time!! Thanks for posting it.

  • I had this on tape and would watch it every day! I love this duet-one of the best of all time! What show was this from? A Motown Special? Thanks for posting this, brings back tons of memories!

  • They were a perfect match for a duet.
