The Color Purple is one of my all time favorite movies and I have seen it at LEAST a dozen times. Not until this moment did I realized that Ms. Margaret did not sing in the movie. They did an amazing job in finding a singer to match Margaret's speaking voice. This song makes me cry every time, especially as Shug is attempting to pull Celie's hands away from her smile. Well, now I'm off to watch it again.
Man, I love her. Such a class act. Met her once when I was doing a play with her in Flint, MI called "I Need A Man" about 8 or 9 years ago. Sweet lady! Lost the photo I took with her though 😥
53Rhona of course it was Tata Vega but Margaret sang in the movie as well just not the main parts but he acting was astounding Tata nailed shugs voice and Margaret nailed shugs character
I love this song. I heard a version by Molly Johnson when I was in a coffee shop. It took me a little digging to find out that it was Tata Vega who sang it in the movie.
Alex This is her singing. But she did not sing in the movie as she was lip-syncing to Tata Vega’s vocals. But I don’t understand why she didn’t sing in the movie
When you hear her sing, it definitely makes you question it. Her singing voice reminds me of Eartha Kitt or Billie Holliday’s singing voice. She sounds great to me
She sounded just fine and probably sounded even better 35 years ago when the movie was made. I don't necessarily see her doing "Maybe God's Trying to Tell You Something", but she can sing.
I can't believe people who are not music geniuses are actually questioning Quincy Jones ability to pick who sang this song . MS avery is a good actress but she cannot sing like Tata vega ..

Me too....I can cry all the way through it no matter how many times I watch it....and love that cry, too!
It's on Tubi right now
That matched her voice and Tata's singing voice real well..
outstanding performances by all actors that's why after 31yrs it's still a Hit!
Just watched the Color Purple again and it's like seeing it or the 1st time. makes me sing makes me cry.

Who song GOD'S trying to tell you something in the movie?
Tata Vega
@@kimberlydavy3463 Thank you
Still beautiful and still oh so amazing. One of the greatest movies ever. Thanks for posting this video!
Love her. She favors Thandie Newton
when one of the ppl r older, u make reference that the younger favors the older. not the older favors the younger.
JaneStone It's The Other Way Around. And Because She's Older...This Makes For An Even Better And Greater Compliment.
k antoinette I agree with you she does favor Thandie Newton
And Leslie Uggums
k antoinette no Thandie Newton favors her
I love this woman. Reminds me of my grandmother mame.
She still sound beautiful
Yes, Margaret Avery is great. But it was definitely Tata Vega singing in The Color Purple.
53Rhona of course it was Tata Vega but Margaret sang in the movie as well just not the main parts but he acting was astounding Tata nailed shugs voice and Margaret nailed shugs character
....And talented, I LUV HER
Just watched The Color Purple again and started Googling after it. Here I am!
I love this song. I heard a version by Molly Johnson when I was in a coffee shop. It took me a little digging to find out that it was Tata Vega who sang it in the movie.
😘
아 진심 예술이다
@1981Cilla That wasn't her singing in the movie. That was Tata Vega.
The Color Purple 😢😢😢😢😢😢
But does this woman age?😩
+tiffany stanley you are too kind. I will be sure to share this!
Carson Calvin please share!:) Margaret Avery is a star! Beautiful woman. I am Russian:) and people are floored with my taste
Nope. She does not.
@1967carson The Puerto Rican singer Tata Vega is the singing voice of Suge in the movie.
Yeahhh is a very very beautiful girl
❤❤❤❤❤❤
@ 1967carson Well, that's cause she's such a damn good actress! She ahd me fooled too!
Coisa linda.
💗
U know shug Avery personally?
Tata Vega did great but I wish they would have allowed Shug to sing her own part.
She clearly could have sung it in the movie…
That was not her singing in the movie😳
If she can do this and actually sing, they should have let her sing in the movie
I agree with that comment 💯.
Exactly and she wanted to sing her own parts
Chillls
is this her voice?
Alex This is her singing. But she did not sing in the movie as she was lip-syncing to Tata Vega’s vocals. But I don’t understand why she didn’t sing in the movie
Not quite a TaTa
@@JLPerryTV yes. I heard tata Vega sings in movie. Amazing voice
2:05, 2:17, 2:21, 2:23
Does anyone actually know the reason why they chose to dub her for the original film?
When you hear her sing, it definitely makes you question it. Her singing voice reminds me of Eartha Kitt or Billie Holliday’s singing voice. She sounds great to me
Tata can blow
She said in an interview with Bobbie Wygant that they just told her it would be dubbed. She said she was relieved…
Which parent is black for Tata I know one has to be
She is of Puerto Rican descent
Kainoa Rodriguez She is also black and Dominican
Her mom
Too bad Tata blows you away.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜💜💜💜
She's cute. Is she wearing a weave?
Does it matter?
Can’t sang a lick!...but you sho can act tho!...let’s stick to what ya gud at!🙌🏾
Gorg 31! She sounds fine to me.
I think she sounds great too. They should have let her sing in the movie
She sounded just fine and probably sounded even better 35 years ago when the movie was made. I don't necessarily see her doing "Maybe God's Trying to Tell You Something", but she can sing.
She sings fine… Tata is a robust alto… Margaret has a more Billy Holiday sound
hush your mouth! lol
She can't even sing. Please get Tata Vega up there to sing Shug's voice.
She is the original what are you talking about
Margaret sounds amazing. She sounds almost like Billie Holliday
I can't believe people who are not music geniuses are actually questioning Quincy Jones ability to pick who sang this song .
MS avery is a good actress but she cannot sing like Tata vega ..
