Who’s still here in 2024 ❤

You can't take Shirley and Patti nowhere!!! 😭😭😭🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Valerie Simpson showed off tooo! I didn't even know she got down like that lol.

Y'all gotta admit, Shirley ushered that Spirit in there! She set it off! 😍

Still getting chills in 2023! Celebrating the life of Tina Turner❤

Patti had barely touched the microphone and ppl were screaming “COME ON PATTI!!!!” That’s when you know you’re a damn legend!!!!!!

Patti said take this microphone back before Oprah sue me for arson.

It’s something about Patti’s voice that will uplift you at your lowest! Lord we thank you for these legends 🙌🏽

The Joy on Nick Ashford’s face when he hears his wife sing is so beautiful 😍

Patti was like y’all was cute but let me show y’all some real quick ❤️

Shirley got the Mic like... “I stay ready” 😹

CHAKA’s unique voice singing this gospel is just too good!

Yolanda Adams has the most uniquely beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. Her voice just exudes clarity, hope, experience, and gentleness.

I love how Ms. Labelle gave the pastor the microphone like “here, take this or I’ll sing all day long.” Love that woman’s spirit.

Hearing Tyler Perry say that he's going to "dream bigger" and now he has his own studio 😭😭😭

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="252">4:12</a> that “rearranged me” came for the depths of her soul

With us in 2024 for this blessed Timeless Moment ?❤

R.I.P to Sidney Poitier, Della Reese, Cicely Tyson, and Maya Angelou.. This was amazing.

Who is watching this 2019?😘💙💚💖

I watched this for the zillionth time in 2023 and I still cry at the beauty of this Legends Ball. They all received their flowers while they were alive to smell them and enjoy them. Every time I rewatch this, I get chills and cry because so many of the Legends featured are no longer with us. God bless you Oprah for following Gods instructions on how to properly thank these women for their contributions. I will cherish this Legends Ball dvd now and forever! In loving memory of the beautiful Legends who left us!

I've been watching this for years and no one is talking about how Ms. Cicely Tyson was going off in a brilliant red suit!? She felt every chord!

Who's here in 2020 and still gets touched by this?

This makes me so proud to be a black woman!

Patty took this song to the heavens🥰 Just WOOW...

Valerie Simpson is the vocal goat that absolutely needs her followers she's been in the game for years, hits after hits and great writer. Come on Valerue sing Sis.

I dont care how many times I hear Patti's part, I get chills. Yes, it's 11/30/2021.

Black folks: shouting singing praise White folks: please don’t pass us the mic

Oh my..... Dionne Warwick's voice a simple touch of heaven 💕

It's 1/24/23 and Patti as well as Shirley's parts were still and will forever be EPIC! 💖

So you mean to tell me Angela Bassett and Tina turner was in the same room 👀😭

You cant start with shirley ceasar and end with patti labelle and not be touched

Maria Shriver is a class act for wanting her daughters to meet these strong black people. Love to you, Miss Maria. Im forever in your corner, sister.❤💯🤘💪

2023 and it still hits the heart ❤

Let me break it down for y’all video gamers out there.... Shirley: FATALITY! . Patti: FINISH HIM!

And since this amazing event, we’ve had Cicely Tyson, Dr. Angelou, Diahann Carrol, Della Reese, Natalie Cole, Nick Ashford, Dr. Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Ruby Dee, Dorothy Height, Katherine Dunham, and Nancy Wilson have all passed on. So glad to know that they were given their flowers before they did.

Black American music is quite literally legendary.

Patti was amazing. And Tina was feeling the groove from everyone. RIP Tina. ❤️

2019 anyone? I came to collect the edges that Patti stole from me in 09'...

When Patti took that mic, tossed that paper in the air and it nearly hit that guy behind her = Iconic! Oprah needs to release the full unedited performance!

What I love most is how quickly Shirley Cesar and Patti Labelle raise the energy to a fever pitch of excitement.

Every time I hear Patti's part, I cry.. Her voice captures the gratitude I feel towards God.

Patti hands off the mic like, “please take this before I get everyone on their feet, even the ones in wheel chairs”

Patti had to hand back the mic in the end or Jesus would have literally descended from the clouds and land on Oprah's lawn! lol Jesus wasn't ready yet!

Rest in Peace Tina

Patti took that microphone 🎤 and I swear she got wings and took off and flew! She is a closer! She will tear down any stage piece by piece! Word by word! Then after...it's done. Just with that little part she sung on here, it was peer perfection! There's no words for what she does!

The Justice League of Gospel Music! "Change" ft Shirley Caesar, Dionne Warwick, Yolanda Adams, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Valerie Simpson, Patti Labelle. What a roster!

Patti messed around and caught the holy ghost

This was an unforgettable event that captured the essence of black culture and gospel music. The event was so powerful that Diane Sawyer declared it the most spiritually transcending moment she ever been apart of. Momentous occasion that brought together some of the most influential African Americans in history. The performances were truly inspirational and uplifting with each artist bringing their own unique style and energy. The combination of gospel music, soulful vocals and uplifting lyrics created an atmosphere that was both emotional and spiritual.

This was the best part of the Legends Ball.. gave me goosebumps. Sang y’all!! Oprah.. please do a Legends Ball 2.

Yolanda Adams singing “ from a special place he took away all the pain, all the pain of the years” I felt that 😭

"Not one note was planned or rehearsed" This is true talent.

This was beautiful.

This event has to be one of the most significant in American history. Should be listed in Smithsonian institution in Washington D.C.Just magnificent.

Avengers: Endgame of black female voices.

When Queen Shirley Ceasar took those glasses off you already knew what time it was! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Patti LABELLE was in her 60’s during this event and was still able to show everyone what a blessed by GOD FORCE OF NATURE she is. These vocals will never be matched or seen again,what’s for you is for you. Patti thank you for blessing us with your Gift! The best that EVER did it!!!

I'm here in 2024 and it still touches me. Praise Him while you can...hallelujah!! 🙏🏾 🙌🏾

Patti Labelle’s delivery of this performance will remain in the history books as an iconic spiritual moment.

When Patti threw that program behind her... I must have re-watched that a thousand times. She snapped!

The fact that Oprah had EVERY SINGLE legend in this event is UNBELIEVABLE ‼️🙌🏽🙌🏽💯❤️ Patti really showed off; Shirley Caesar too. You know it's real when the holy spirit knocks your hair loose.

I'm here in 2023 and I still tear up...I so love to watch this video and still LOVE them!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a> please press like if Ms. Patti gave you chills through your body when she hit that note. Love me some Ms. Patti and her pies.

When Patti said "I CHAAAANGE my li-ya-I-he-a-ifffffeee" u knew she was gonna go in

It’s 2023 and this is still a moment in time when the Holy Spirit moved in the atmosphere. Praise God. RIP to Cicely Tyson, Sidney Poitier, Maya Angelou, Nick Ashford, Tina Turner, Penny Marshall, Della Reese. Natalie Cole, Coretta King, Diahann Carroll🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️

RIP Queen of Rock, Tina Turner 2023. I have just realized, that all the women mentors I found in my adult life, are black women ... ALL of you Rock, thanks for the guidance and strength you shared (with no apology) to all women with an open heart ... this sent chills through my spine, especially seeing Tina and Maya Angelou, and not to forget Sidney Poitier xxx

5 years later still watching this...Patti threw that program and "stepped out on faith" lol

One thing I love about Shirley Caesar is that no matter where she's at if you pass her that mic she will get up with a quickness & turn it into church

Patti LaBelle's part gave me spiritual joy🔥🔥

Let’s not overlook the Hawkins family tearing it down in the background. Quiet destruction!

Chaka killed that. “EverydAaaaAaY”

Patti be sitting on ready... Tore it up!!!!

Patti Patti has ALWAYS understood the assignment…she gon’ open the door and lets the Holy Spirit in every time!

Listen Patti you took us to the Lawd👏🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Patti was like, "Hold my drank"

Gladys is sooooo distinct with her vocal ability.....and when Patti stood up and threw that itinerary, I said "WE HAVE LIFT OFF"!! PATTI, PATTI, PATTI!!!

The anointing in Pastor Shirley's voice.... 💜<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="68">1:08</a>. It gets everyone involved and on their feet.

Tyler Perry lived up to his words. He dreamed bigger and achieved more than ever

This NEVER gets old. Shirley, Yolanda and Patti......pure oil.

Whitney was invited to the Legends ball, but she was going through a lot that time. The legends even prayed for her at the gathering...

No matter how many times I see this it's NOT enough and hopefully Oprah airs this in it's entirety... It's just SPECTACULAR and most of this incredible women and men are sadly gone from this Life but I'm so grateful that Oprah did this appreciation for them when she did...Thank you!!!!

yasss patti...she opened her mouth and got chills!!! literally started yelling cause I felt it in my soul

Patti was like " Child get this mic....I am done"

So many of them gone now, Oprah gave them their recognition and flowers while they were still able to accept them...amazing!

Yolanda Adams voice is just gorgeous, just a beautiful blessing. Chaka, Shirley, Gladys, Valerie, Dionne, Patti all amazing.

“2023”just a reminder to stay blessed and thankful for LIFE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

the only person that i wish was there is whitney houston

LMAOOO WHEN SHIRLEY TOOK THOSE GLASSES OFF IT WAS OVER

I love how Nick Ashford was feeling his wife's spirit.

There will never be another show like Oprah's. This was a spectacular production!

Condolences to the bereaved family of the microphone. Was struck and killed by the mega voice of Patti LaBelle. Funeral services will be held on the OW lawn. The sound department reported that only wires and smoke were left behind after Ms. LaBelle delivered the Holy Ghost and slaughtered it on site. RIP microphone. #That hefa can sang!

Y’all see Nick Ashford praising when his lady was singing 😂

It’s something about how Patti sings that “He changed my LIFE” that brings me to tears! Her voice is just out of this world!

15 year later and this event still moves me to tears. This was truly legendary!!!

Shirley Caesar kicked it off with that anointing!!!

May 4th 2023 still awesome ❤💯

The way my family and I know this whole video word for word.

Valerie killed it also. "From this day, we won't walk the same. We gone walk taller. We gone think higher. We're gone be better. Yeah, yeah, yeah... love it

2021 anyone? The lesson- honour your past and the shoulders of the giants you stand on and help others up the ladder by extending the same grace. RiP Cicely Tyson

Shirley said "Ya'll want my Father? Wait let me Get Him in Here" ! This still brings tears to my face .....Yassssssssss

No matter how many times I watch this it's still thrills me

Never put Shirley, Gladys, and Patti in one room its going down.
