Patti back in the day, in her prime singing "Family," and she tears it up on stage.; very rare and classic.

  • From what i know, not too many people sang live on soul train.

  • WOW would love to have this in a high quality version... what a bassline, what a voice

  • this is the "version" of Patti that I loved the most...I'll take the Patti with the cheesy hairpieces, the pink bloomers and the dark make up, singing like she was about the bust a gut, any day of the week over the present day Patti....

  • Yes...this is classic!

  • she was 37 in this performance

  • AHH! Been looking for this clip! This was November 1981, with the Minneapolis group The Time ("Get It Up", "Cool"). Later on the same show, Patti sang "Over The Rainbow", and the song would never, EVER, be the same again!

    Damn shame they never released either of these 2 hits of hers as singles. Same company (CBS/Sony), different label (from Epic to Phila. Int'l); I suppose the P.I. division didn't want to take any chances, because none of her solo hits 1977-80 made the R&B top 10.

  • Enjoyed the performance! What happened to the interview?

  • Oy it was the 80s!

  • really reallyyy gud. im in luv with that voice!
