I'm here ❤

Gregory C / Well said, couldn't have been stated any better, I totally agree 100%👌👌

Gregory C that was Joe, BRAVO JOE BRAVO

YES SIR HE REALLY KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND MAGNIFICENT AND PROFESIONALLY DEAL WITH ALL THE SOMETIMES CRAZY BELT OUTS OF MIRS PATTI ANOTHER ONE WOULD HAVE LOST HES THE BEST DEFINITLY

MY GOD I WONDER IF SHE WAS DOING DRUGS AT THE MOMENT WAS TOO MUCH AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY OT OF CONTROL

Joe didn't give a shit, he kept time with his arms, everyone else had to follow him USUALLY, watch Jennifer Werner sing "Up where we belong" with him, she has to look at his mouth to stay in time, here Patti just dd the same damn thing to Joe, he had to watch her gyrations, LMAO, he didn't mind, he was used to it anyway.

Me too !

Yeah for having the courage to collaborate with a vocal beast 😂 she should have thrown him a rope to climb up for breath

Y'all Better Sing Love it

I AGREE EACH TIME I PLAY IT I THANK GOD FOR THEIR TALENT BRILLIANT DUET OF SUCH CONTRASTING SINGING STYES❤❤ MUSIC 🎷🎶

Arsen Jaho, the song isnt a " rock ballad." The song is soul music. It's just how the industry marketed it. "Blue eyed soul" artists like Joe and Janis Joplin received accolades and success because they were white people who could imitate black music. Truthfully, their success is a good example of how much racism informs everything in this culture. Black vocalists were singing from a natural resonance but Janis, Joe etal pushed out a throaty gravelly tone. Culture vulture mentality always places white people into genres that are not authentic for them. Rock and Roll artists made millions while the creators of this music remained marginalized and obscure. A good example....how did Elvis become "the King" when he was simply IMITATING black performers who were much better? ( The man who started his career said .....if I could find a white man who could sing and dance like a black man I'd be a millionaire)

@@lillierobinson1786 OK you could consider this song a blue eyed soul. Its usual for Joe to sing a handful of this genre, but i couldnt say that Joe managed very well this kind of music. His voice was harsh and typical rock voice. There were at least 3 artists good in blue eyed soul: Paul Young George Michael and Hall&Oates.

​@@arsenjaho8069Ummm... no you couldn't. Billy Preston, the guy playing piano? This is his song. Get it together.

​@@lillierobinson1786who doesn't love Joe Cocker, a national treasure, him and Ms Patti

This is a very special & beautiful song to me. My husband surprised me when we got married. He actually sung this song to me. I don’t care who wrote it nor who sings it. It’s a classic. Love!! Love!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Her and Jennifer Holiday were the most powerful vocally.

I agree,she was better than Aretha and Whitney.Jennifer Holiday too.

She was appreciated.

She was very appreciated if you were old enough to see it.

Was....she's still alive

She is one of the most respected singers ever!

Ain’t it the truth ❤️❤️

lol, yes. All we are missing is a praise Jesus.

GIRL BYE!

top!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

tasiawood FUCKING YESS !!! People back in the day were still out and famous in their 40s 50s but you wanna know why ? BECAUSE PEOPLE BACK IN THE DAY SANG !! Everyone only wanted people who SANG but now everyone likes to be entertained but by people who sing with fireworks dancing and flipping all these costumes and barely saying any words

moesha pempengco I couldn't have said it better myself. hopefully by 2020 things will change a little bit. Wishful thinking

YES!!!!!

You said it!! Most of the people I care about are senior citizens now or if they are younger, they don't follow the pop formula so they don't get much attention.

tasiawood ain't that the truth!?

She's great, but I've seen Joe Cocker on stage all by himself and he knocks this song out of the park - not with the style of laBelle, but with his own very unique style!!!! He kind of made the song what it became with his croaker voice and deep, yet restrained vocal control.

Sure did. You can visually see him transform. As she went higher, he followed. As she looked at him and drew out his spirit, you can see him inspired by her force and rise to the occasion. She sang to the God within him, like we all should play to the God that's within every living thing and play to the best that's in them instead of only seeing their worst. When you get to the point when they start resisting because they are daunted by doubt within them, you hold on and keep drawing it out when they can't surrender to the God that's in themselves. You saw him resisting, but she felt it and fought even harder to draw him out and locked her eyes into him to banish that doubt and jumped and flung her love at him and moved her arms in excitement like a bird flapping her arms in excitement at his soul rising to see it take flight - until they saw it in themselves too and she grabbed him and wouldn't let go. She drew him out and she looked him in the eyes with total love and heard his voice rise out of his soul instead of his lungs and his spirit rose higher and higher with the strength of aliveness and when you saw him stare back into her eyes and his spirit had come alive, he rose up and then matched her force for force and that's when you saw God enter the room and the soul rise up to the rafters and the room became transcendent and love rose up to the rafters. That's the performance I was watching We all saw and felt it change. The smiles on everyone's faces changed to a raw moment of complete love and joy of being alive. The power this woman has to plunge her entire being into a song without doubt or hesitation that she can't do it. It's complete and total surrender to faith. Most people block it by doubt, she runs toward it and surrenders completely to it without hesitation. She's a force that doesn't shy down to faith or doubt. She takes everyone with her. She has what the Spanish call Duande, where the audience, by their support, push her spirit up to another level, and as the performer, rises higher and higher to God, she takes the audience with her to meet Him. That's the most powerful association we can see in a performance. Everyone participates and has a part to play and in the end, we all become One! Powerful, powerful performance!!! This is a woman who not only has a powerful voice, but an indomitable spirit of faith, who draws God on the stage where we not only hear her voice, but we FEEL her voice. God is music and music is God and nobody fights for it better than Ms. Pattie LA Belle - a force to be reckoned with!!!! ❤😢😮😊

I don't think she necessarily made him work harder she put him in a funny position. And you can bet your life that Billy Preston and Joe cocker will consoling each other about her over singing.. maybe the call writer of that song who is Billy Preston. Even apologized to Joe sorry about Patty stepping all over you words to that effect I'm sure

Quite frankly it took away from cocker..

My dad back in the old days with the blue bells. my father played drums for her she sang perfectly. and I mean perfectly. She's a wonderful person but she got into this over singing!! no doubt about it believe me I'm a musician I know...

Yes she does know exactly what she's doing. the music business comes with the music business and the acting business ego is a part of.. some have it in total control some don't. She came out n instantly oversinging stepping on Joe from the very first note. Can you tell me where you ever heard of duet like that.. after a while she wasn't even singing words.. she was just holding notes.. that is not the way it goes

Did you see Joe Oversing??? Did you see Billy overplay???... Of course not

It's equivalent to the Star spangled banner being sung by someone who knows how to sing it at a nice quick tempo or someone who drags it out and thinks it's about them

Which nowadays 90% of the time it's sung wrong.. the only artist I saw singing right with Billy Joel and Huey Lewis and the News.. n Ella Fitzgerald one of the greatest singers of all time.. now she can get on a roll but she knows how to do it and when to do it

Ella Fitzgerald is one of the greatest ass singers of all time she could tear anything up she can overseeing way more and way better than Patty I know it is very unprofessional to compare I'm just trying to make you understand... Got a person like Ella knows when to go out there and when not to

She was before her time. Love her.

Where to watch?

Not this performance. She was nominated for her performance of "You'll Never Walk Alone. Also, this is a duet, so it can't be nominated as an individual performance, but thank you for bringing attention to this fantastic achievement. She lost to Angela Lansbury's performance of Sweeny Todd, which is a travesty of justice.

3 Legends,Don't Forget Billy Preston On Piano,He Actually Wrote The Song.

I hate to disagree with you but after a while Joe was saying to himself I wish you would stop she's embarrassing me.. joe did not tremble for anyone

He was a good sport about it

Patty is a wonderful singer a wonderful singer. Back when she didn oversing ridiculouslyI I went to see her all the time with my dad behind her on drums

The musicians in the band with joke about her over singing have a drink in the hotel room and she was the butt of the joke because she just got ridiculous

rolis gonz I like that...lol

quit LYING.. she complimented joe with all RESPECT

Actually she killed it, the mic and Audio Engineer that is.

So, so true this was a match I could have never imagined but somehow it crushed me. what a performance! The way the music moves through both of them is just amazing to watch !

Yes bro

Billy? Did I smoke too much pot again?

Smmfh very well said and so True.!!🎤🎼👍

Preston wrote the song.

​

Me too

yes indeed

прям в точку

🫠

P a t t i oversang ridiculously... When she was with the Blue Bells she did not do that she sang perfectly...

I mean I can't believe only a few people read Joe's face

I'm a musician for 40 years and believe me when I tell you Joe was embarrassed for her

People like Sarah Vaughan Ella Fitzgerald. They don't step on people they know when to let go when to keep it under control they know when to explode... I will give you an analogy.. in music there is something called Dynamics. Have you come out singing like it's the encore where are you going to go from there explanation point that's like a guitar player starting with his amp on 10! How do you go up when the Dynamics call for it you're already there there's no place else to go no Dynamics no building no story.. I'm in the music business 40 years and 75% of my constituents agree.. and the ones who don't it's just sour grapes

Fuckin right! LOl

😂 she pushed him to another level but he held hiz own!!!!😂😂😊

Cause they are deaf.. spirit deaf.. mine too.. queen.. love her

terrible singer

@@Dino-su2wh Dino 99% of the singers in the world cant hit 5% of the notes Patti can hit effortlessly in their dreams....😂

You got to have no soul if you don't love Patti. ❤

great!!!! Patti & Joe

q ❤ .

Absolutely is 💯.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

nockanoo62 yes. Patti on stage antics can never be duplicated

This is what happens when angels sing.

It was a gift to see Patti LaBelle live in concert never got to see Joe Cocker though I was really sad my dad grew up with Joe Cocker and recently passed away of the coronavirus thanks Trump card you got a lot of blood 🩸 on your hands you’ll rotten hell

I have this on a vhs cassette. Whew!!

U can see Joe getting em at the first sound of Patti's voice

Yes. This video bring back good memories in the 60s. How are you Wendy ?

HE DIDNT LAST LONG AFTER THAT BEAT DOWN.... R I P

that is so true..

yasss

Monica Hunter 100%. Patti was riiiiiight on the edge of a giant comeback. In '82 she went to Broadway with Al Green and got raves for Your Arms Too Short to Box With God. In '83, "Love, Need and Want You" and "If Only You Knew" put her back on R&B radio, and she snagged "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up" on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack in '84 and got a taste of crossover success. When this special came around in '85, she was raw ambition and starving to reach the top. When she got this, it put most of the eyes in America on her and she wasn't gonna waste it, and tore the throat out of everybody else who stepped to her onstage. You see the clips of her from Motown Returns and she's wailing like she's still waiting to be discovered, pouring it all out. She did Live Aid the same year, and she blew all the way up after those. She got a friggin Emmy nomination after Motown Returns for Outstanding Performer in a Variety Special! MY big question has always been how did this woman who was NEVER on the Motown label (and never was even afterward) and wasn't nearly the biggest star or marquee name in the house that night got THAT many big showcase numbers. I'm pretty sure she logged more screentime than anybody else on the show. She stole the whole damn thing.

Yes!!! I totally agree!

Monica Hunter that part right there girl

Hello Suzy..

I miss it too.

I love this video so entertaining unique voices nice performance. How are you Suzy ?

I agree💕🙏🤗❤️

J. Dale Smith that's right

SHE CREAMED HIS BUTT

👊👏

They were not that different.. they were both screamers!

@@LifeJourneyful It’s a competition? I thought she laid it on way too thick. They’re supposed to be singing together.

If you can hang with Patti - you got it going on!!!

For me she alittle just alittle to much. Got to love her.

Ok, but commas are not supposed to be i groups, full stops are-

You're so right! His voice was so magnetic! I love him too! Ms Pattie is my fav! And Billie was ON IT, too! Great performance it was! 👏🏾

JOE COKER ESTUPENDO GRANNNNNDEEEEEE

Erytime!

True!

ABB a.k.a. AstralBooBaby I went to a show earlier this year and even at her age a decline in voice it was still a show!

This was the performance that made me fall all the way in love with patti

Being so closed to the Apollo in from Brooklyn, N.Y., Tropicana, Havana, Cuba, La Princesa in Acapulco, Mex., and Caesar Palace in La Vegas, USA, for M. Ali fight. For my Birthday(70's) , I will look at the Blue Sky and smile in my appreciation, to The King, Lord God for being alive. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Lord God.

She makes me cry

Rodney Medlin Billy Preston wrote & recorded the song originally but Joe's version 💖

She was phenomenal in the 80's.Same with Jennifer Holiday.

it's Billy's song anyways

I don't know what performance you watched, Patti damn near gave that man a stroke. 🤣🤣

It really was man ! Thios song never made me emotional Until I saw this version !

Exactly

Her singing totally overwhelmed poor Joe Cocker....

Joe was a bit nervous with powerful Atti

What a powerful voice.

Yes...I remember watching it when it aired...still makes me want to shout! They b were outstanding together.

Me too!

My being a fan I thought 4:19-4:21 was so strong

He grew up listening to ray Charles

..and more importantly, HE KNEW where to put the ad libs...you cant be up there talking about how beautiful she is, and then out of nowhere, you go into "the hills are alive, with the sound of mu-siccccc!"...Joe was one of those singers that immersed himself in black music and observed from the greats like Charles, Redding and Cooke, what and how to sing, to connect with the listener...and it wasnt a put-on...he knew the subtleties of the ad libs, you mention. Joe was a VERY legit, soul-singer. I miss the guy.

Lmmfao, smmfh very well said and so True.!!🎼🎤🎶👍

true but lets leave race out of it

I love this song nice memories good performance. How are you Linda ?

Mine, too!

PAY BACK FOR ALL THE DIRT, THAT DIANA DID TO HER, BACK IN THE DAY. SHE SLAYED HER.

Hahaha I remember that! And after whispering I Want to Know What Love Is, she didn't want to give Patti the mic. And after Patti took over with the power vocals, Diana made someone get her another mic. Looked like she was lip syncing. Lol And miss Patti don't need no mic NOHOW!

@@babd7176 She made clear for everyone that SHE, not Miss Ross, was the star of that stage, honey!

@@angelawilliams0428 Yes, ma'am -- Patti reduced anybody that stood on a stage with her that night to being background lol

love it
