Iconic Hair Iconic Dress Iconic Choir Iconic Voice Iconic Patti

Patti came IN hitting notes 99% of the population can't dream of...and then took it higher!

I was at the BET Awards when Patti performed. Her voice, fills the entire theatre..she ain't NO JOKE. Clarity and Volume! This performance gives me chills..

That entrance was EPIC! ❤

patti showed you the difference in sing and sang...

lord that opening she blew that up

Who starts out WAY UP THERE 👆🏿 AND GOES HIGHER?!?!!! Patti! A DRAMATIC SOPRANO IF THERE EVER WAS ONE 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

She was nominated for an Emmy for this incredible performance.

she can hit the highest notes and still stay on key "Go Patti"

I think she holds the title of standing ovations

Patti starts a song at the intensity that most people would love to end it. By the close of the first verse the audience is blown away. Then she just soars...

Unlike most singers Patti's voice was in its prime in her 40s and 50s. I never seen nothing like it.

I like when she says "choir, what you say?"

A voice that could raise the dead! Patti is a American national treasure, with a soulful sound of pain, joy and hope that could only be produced by the " unique history " of African Americans in the United States. She is one of the most underrated performers of the late 20th century. The fact that her voice, tone and control remains flawless after nearly 50 years of singing " full out " is a miracle. I can't think of any other vocalist who's voice has remained as pitch perfect as long as Ms. LaBelle's. God bless her and keep her delivering her vocal gift's to the world.

Everyone talking about Patti's voice, but her hair definitely matches up big bold and beautiful.

It’s 2023 and this gave me chills… again! Miss Patti 👑👑👑

That entrance alone with her huge voice and in synch movement with the choir was pure slayage She started off in 10th gear and went on up... Powerful chest and head voice She blew through an entire choir and then made 3 legends into her background singers #amazing

She came on stage and I fell out. Tears. The power behind those vocals is CRAZY.

I like the way the choir was looking at her, they knew she was getting ready to blow the roof off the Apollo Theater.

Billy Preston smile when Patti hits that first note off stage!

That's old school Pattie for ya! The HAIR baby!

I'm an Atheist and but I had stand up and shout Amen

The first 27 seconds (I keep watching over and over) can ruin theses girls entire careers! PERIOD!

I’m sure even that dress collected a check that night cus Patti made her work, every shingle on that gown came alive! Powerful performance, Emmy worthy even! 🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️

God, the beggining was supernatural. That was enough. She should have thought"my job is done here". That was enough. But no, she started executing those melismas and belts and ended murdering every single surviving soul. That performance was POWERFUL.

Despite all the vocal gymnastics, she was able to stay on key. Quite something.

In this world you better keep on walking,walk with him

I seen this in 1986 Motown from the Apollo on channel 2 Bay Area 2 years after, I watched Michael do his moonwalk and stratosphere himself into history! Never heard this song or any gospel but this change my life! At 54 I still listen to this at least twice a week and have the DVD of the whole show!

Miss patti came out harmonizing before the song even started😂

From start to end, she gave use vocals. DAMN!!!!! That's some amazing breath control and vocal stamina.

Patti was in her vocal prime in her 40’s. Think about that.

I was at work (Charlotte airport) & I walked out the breakroom & Patti Labelle was standing right in front of me surrounded by people.I was SHOOKED! I am a huuuuuugggggeee fan of the legendary Patti Labelle… I just stared at her & she asked me if I wanted a pic with her & give me the most genuine hug I would ever get from a celebrity…. That made my decade lol… & I’m not even star struck… but meeting patti Labelle & DMX was everything!!!

What I think people miss in general is a Spiritual singer. Patti will get up and sing her song and the spirit hits her all the time. She then takes it to church. Folks always say, why is she shouting all the time. It is nice to see her free in her element. She is my favorite because she has no boundaries. Her talent is raw and never the same ever. This performance is just a wow

This was my dad's favorite song. He wanted it to be played at this funeral, which it was, leaving not a dry eye in the house.

I truly believe when Ms. Labelle stomped her foot at 2:17 it was to keep her soul in her body, she turned the Apollo into a tabernacle. ❤😂

Her voice came before she came out on stage wtf!

There will never be another singer like Patti La Belle. Whilsts others fade when they even reach their forties, Patti gets better with age!

The way she tipped out on to the stage was CLASSIC!!!

AirPods are not enough. I need Patti Labelle to personally bring me to Heaven

Aretha Franklin and Miss Patti are BOTH amazing, anointed singers!

Everyone was shook, the band, the choir, Al Greene, Mavis, Lil Richard and the audience, even the mic stand understood the assignment. I watched this when it originally aired, shook then and I'm still amazed and shaken!!!

It doesn't make no sense how vocally gifted she is. Incredible performance, as usual with Mama Patti.

I am at awe. My Mom just passed away on February 22, 2021 and I have been having such a hard time. I got the urge to listen to some music on KZfaq so I chose this random video because of the title and that Patti Labelle was the singer. I mean who does not like Patti. So as I'm listening to the words I said to myself that these words are words that I could hear my Mother say to me. I continued to watch this video and I began to notice some of the Choir Members from the Adult Choir from New Hope Baptist Church in Newark N.J that my Mom and myself sang with back in the 80s that looked familiar to me. I kept watching and enjoying the video and at a glance I thought I saw my Mother so I rewound the video to look again and low and behold there was my Mother in the far left corner. She is the one in the far left corner with the short afro. I immediately burst into tears of joy. That was confirmation that my Mom is still speaking to me from the other side. I still have goose bumps. I was also a part of this recording at The Apolo Theatre in Harlem. Such a great memory.

I used to love when she would show up to the awards shows, cause she never came playing

That woman has one of the most powerful voices ever.

I remember seeing this the night it was performed. Now years later when I struggle with the death of my mother I know the meaning of You'll Never Walk Alone. God is Always There. I Love You Janice Hudson.

In one of Patti La Belle interviews, she said she was going to saaaaaannnng whether they paid her or not,,,,,, so GOD intercede on her behalf and made sure she got paaaaaaaid!!!!!! What a GOD we serve!!!!

The ONLY singer nowadays who I'm still excited to see perform. She ain't no national treasure...She a GLOBAL treasure!!!!!!!! Love and treasure her.....a living legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who walks in and makes an entrance like that shiny and all..hair and voice is over the rainbow gon mama patti!!!

The tone of her voice and the notes she hits during the intro are not from this world.

You can hear her before you see her... Ms. Patti came to sing and praise, Y'all. It's 2022 and this song still touches my spirit. Thank you, Ms. Patti. Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💖✨🙏🏾☀

When that tear rolled down her cheek at 1:12 I already knew she was about to tear it up!!

2:10. That vocal run!!!!!!!!

YESSSS SHE TOOK THAT SONG INTO 50th GEAR!!!!!! yes LAWD!!!!!

When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone

My God, she don't even need a choir or background singers!!! Powerhouse! Come thru Patti!!

Patti was feeling herself. She is one of the goddesses of vocal and musical performance. Work, Miss Patti.

Patti sang the shit out of this song. Christian or not, this makes you want to feel motivated to carry on.

When she started walking to demonstrate my heart melted. 😭

Seeing her live is AMAZING!!! I swear she winked at me! Lol

This is one of the greatest performance I´ve ever hear from a singer, just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always come to watch this 😂😂 that's probably why theirs 1mil views now hahaha she just saaaang my life away

I'm no longer a Christian I don't even believe in religion however I've listened to this song over and over and the spirit and the soul that she puts into this song it brings tears to my eyes and makes me feel good I love you Patti ❤😗❤

I’m 59 years old and this is where I’m at in my life!!!

She came out blowing in the tenth octave. lol

What I respect about Patti LaBelle is that she keeps her business where it belongs, both personal and professional. That's a lady! Blessings.

NOBODY can sing with Patti! This was part of my ALL TIME favorite tv performance of hers. What a powerhouse vocalist.

I'm speechless.

Patti really is THAT girl. Obviously her voice is untouchable. But her personality comes out in this. She is a PERFORMER through and through.

The look on billy Preston's face said it all. What a gift patti is to us all. Amazing voice

This got to be rated as one of the greatest live vocal performances of all time. Patti voice is pure power, precision plus the anointing. In her prime Patti put the fear of God in other performers who sang with her or after her...No one wanted to sing after Patti-and many were legendary singers. How about that!

I mean. Come... On!!!! This performance from start to finish is.. FLAWLESS.

That VOICE came straight out of the GATE'S of HEAVEN!!! No earthly WORDS can give reason to the altitude of her GLORIOUS VOICE!!!! : My SPIRIT have no other choice but to SHOUT GLORY!!!!

When the "choir" waves you up 😊😊😊

a woman of passion....a woman with a gift...and a woman who knows EXACTLY how to get under your skin and make you FEEL something. There are TONS of people on this Earth who know how to sing. Hell, I can sing.. But Patti LaBelle is one of those vocalists, who were LITERALLY born to sing...and you can tell those singers, apart from people like me who know how to hold a note. She HAS TO SING...look at her journey thru the music industry, and you'll see NUMEROUS times when she should have been out of the business for one reason or another. (poor marketing, lack of good album production, not priorotized by record labels, disco, hip hop, making a comeback in her freaking 40s, etc). But she just refused to STOP..and when you have a voice like this, that can make people applaud at the mere mention of your name, why the Hell should you stop singing. This woman has earned the title of "diva".

SANG!!!!!!

Why would God bless a person with a talent but then want them to hold back when using it? Patti Labelle is an original. She took the song and made it her own , which is what truly gifted artists are capable of. I'm sure the pruducers of the show knew what they were getting when they booked Patti Labelle. From the audiences reaction to her performance I would conclude all involved were pleased. Quit hatin'!!!

When I feel down...and need a good cry, I come to KZfaq to listen to Patti LaBelle sing gospel and inspirational songs. It makes me feel better and gets me back on track. She's truly an American treasure.

She should have gotten a GRAMMY!!!!!!!

I was born in early 80s so I grew-up listening to the big voices of Whitney, Mariah etc. Never heard/seen this video before until today. This is so amazing. I think this may have inspired "If it's over" by Mariah. I hear similarities.

Can.t touch her.The new or The old. Hit hard!

ONE OF THE GREATEST PERFORMANCES EVER. PATTI PATTI PATTI.

A spirit that could make a dead person say nevermind..... I'm staying

I just can't get over this video. Who's watching in 2018 ?

One of the most electrifying perfosnces in history. #pattilabell

The way I would be screaming “You better SIIING” at the top of my voice has I been in the audience 😭😭. This woman is phenomenal

Her tear @ 1:12 is powerful. All praise unto the most high Yahuha

SIMPLY THE BEST ‼️

I have loved Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey forever being a 80s & 90s generation but remember my friend asking me in 1998 do I rate Patti I was like Who? He then played me this aswell as Somebody loves you (live) and I never looked back ...like Whitney Patti doesnt play when it comes to Live Performances ...she just kills it everytime plus shes kept her voice for how many decades..

THAT'S PATTIE: SHE'S COMING TO BALTIMORE CITY FEBRUARY, 2024. BALTIMORE LOVES PATTIE. SHE IS SO REAL AND DOWN TO EARTH.

Spiritually Moved😭🙏

I forgot about her crazy hair styles but that was one of the things that made her so Unique and special

I have watched this video too many times to count. I love Patti LaBelle.

When you she came in with that BOOMING opening you know she was about kill and give life. God put an anointing on her vocal cords. There is and will never be another Patti!

PHILLY LEGEND....You are loved Miss LaBelle ❤

That Billy Preston, best pianist ever

Best performance in human life.

Pattie tore this song up got me tearing up l😂😂😂😂

I can't stop replaying her entrance! Those notes, that control! Wow

That choir must have been so honored to work with Ms. Labelle...and how great that all must be individually to be selected by her
