9175rock Well, I'm 73 and assuming I am included in your "you all" group, I can tell you that this old man is very clear about the difference between R&R and soul music and I love them both. Labelle performed both kinds of music. I do feel that the R&R hall of fame doesn't help much to define the difference by inducting performers who are clearly from other genres of music than R&R. Labelle is my favorite female vocal group of all time but I think the likelihood of them getting into the R&R hall of fame is slim. This is because groups that have been inducted have been mostly "mega" groups with lots of commercial success behind them. If the focus was on talent, I have no doubt that Labelle would have been inducted a long time ago. I think, regardless of your talent, it is hard to get attention when you don't have a lot of commercial success under your belt. Sorry, I know this rant got a bit off topic
I recently contacted the Rock an Roll Hall of fame concerning these Divas. They wrote back with no definite answer!! I'll give it a few weeks, and write them again. These beautiful Divas totally deserve to be in the Rock an Roll Hall of fame!!! Let's make it happen!!!
There isnt and I doubt there ever will be. What most people don't realize about LaBelle was that they were not a solo artist with backup singers. They were three solo synchronous voices that were perfectly matched. Paaah-lease, these chicks today need to take out a note pad and get schooled on what a real female vocal group is
The first R&B black girl groups to have the headline singer. The first black R&B girl group to perform live on UK television. The first R&B black girl group to have a member leave for another female girl group.
Are you kidding? Neither of those groups have the vocal abilities of Patti, Nona, and Sarah. Beyonce can get it in a little bit, but NOT like Patti. Besides, this was back in the early 70's and LIVE, and you can tell their performance is Natural. They simply have it. The Supremes was mostly about Diana, and her vocal abilities cannot match either of these ladies. She can sing FOR SURE, but belt it out with the power of these ladies, No! Today, Patti and Nona are still PUTTING IT DOWN like they did back then. Sarah did not accomplish that much as an individual artist, and her voice isn't as strong today, but she can still HANG IN THERE! I hate that I did not download a lot of their videos that were on here years ago, they have been deleted, but seeing them sing like that back then, and the crowd going CRAZY, there is a big difference in their talent and vocal abilities.
not even on their best day would that ever happen...pure singing...they were a super group without even knowing it...check their careers after parting ways...no disrespect but this is unfiltered soul here compared to Destiny's Child's production...the Supremes are in second place out of the three...this is real SOUL music from the church, it's a lost art in the main stream
I miss the videos of them singing several of their hits from back then that have been deleted where their vocal abilities definitely prove how talented they are, and considering those performances were done in the 70's, no group today can compare. There was also another one of Patti by herself on the Johnny Carson show in a black dress with a yellow panel in the middle where she sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", and Johnny was speechless.....!!! Dang it, I hate that I did not record all of them.
Wow this is one of my favorite Labelle songs of all time and I had no idea that they ever sang this live, and it has been on TH-cam for a decade is really blowing me away. Today is a good day.
3 powerful women singing, this is what you call a super group, A writer, 3 singers, holding each other down, What an amazing performance. They performed the hell out this song, it's better than the studio version, in my opinion! # Real talent
socialchronic Just to give you some history & incredible music - the Over The Rainbow version everyone loves is from Patti LaBelle &The Bluebells, around 1952 ish when they were a quartet. Cyndi Birdsong left The Bluebells to join The Supremes after Flo Ballard was forced out. Have a BLAST of a time diggin' thru the Old Stuff & ALLLLL of the Solo Music of Nona, Sarah & Patti! 😎 Don
same. front street. my mind is being blown in 2022 i grew up always seeing patti sing but...but i never knew Labelle existed. its like this is what the sun's rays sound like! my fuggin goodniss!
It's 2020 and I'm still listening to these beautiful, talented sistas!!!❤❤❤ NOBODY can match them, EVER!!! That soul, that harmonizing, that richness - ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!
This is my jam. I thought the RECORDING was FIYAH. They are slaying this. In harmony but you can distinctly hear each voice. It works nicely!!! I love it!!
No other girl group came close to these three women. What other female group from the 60s and 70s have members that are all still active in the music industry? Patti, Nona and Sarah have all three had solo careers and are still out there going strong.
This is only one phase in the "Evolution of Miss Patti LaBelle". Those who became fans of Patti only after she started having solo megahits ("If Only You Knew" & forward) need to see this!!!! While the powerful vocals are already familiar, through this video, they'll see how those moves of Miss LaBelle came to be... In every aspect, Patti, Nona and Sarah were the perfect blend.
you just cant replace this kind of greatness...dont even try. When Sarah died recently, I scared me a little bit, because it occured to me that your musical heroes and she-roes, are just human beings, doing supernatural things. LaBelle, was the 2nd concert I ever saw (P-Funk, was the 1st)...they were on the Nightbirds tour, and they performed at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Wash/DC, my hometown. Those were the days when you could smell weed in the air, and people off the street could find ways to get past security and get in without paying. To this day, its still an open-air venue. I was 7 yrs old..and seeing them being lowered on the stage hanging from cables, is something I'll never forget. And since that concert, Ive seen all of them when they went solo...Patti LaBelle is the one that Ive seen the most....dozens of times. Everybody has that "somebody" that does it for them, where your spirit and soul is involved. And for me, its her voice...I dont know what the Almighty put in her throat, to make people feel the way she makes them feel..but Im just glad that Ive lived during her lifetime, to hear one of the greatest singers who ever lived.
Beyoncé’s mom posted this and I came here to watch again!! Why have I never heard this?!! Patty, omg! The way she draws you in! All of their voices! Omg 😧🩷

I come like the pouring rain, each night to listen to this, before bed. It turns me on... Such a beautifully written and performed song, to me. So cold.

It's so pathetic in the music industry that they do crappy things. This group should have been more popular than they were. And the worst is that period in time we had ppl who could SANG, PERFORM AND ENTERTAIN! But the best thing is they can still have those pipes. Especially Ms. LaBelle❤️❤️
I remember when this came put but U had forgot about this song this us music when you talk about a man when real love really enters in this is how real grown folks do.
Music for Grown , Mature people who understands the meaning of the message this song 🎵 🎵 delivers❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"Sugar dumpling you", crack's me up every time. Simply the best of the best
And don't leave out that walk 😂
I screamed
As much as I love seeing Patti run around the whole stage I just know the camera crew and production used to be so mad at her 😂
Yo ‼️😂🤣😂
If i was the camera crew i would bust out laughing. No lie 😂.
Lmaooo
OH well 😁
Couldn’t tame that God given energy 😂
Should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame !!
This aint rock n roll.

I would put EnVogue, and I love Patti Labelle to death. But EnVogue had 4 beautiful women whom all can sing and sing lead at that
if this song does not move you, then you are officially dead.
Right!!!
There has NEVER EVER EVER been 3 powerful voices in one group than or ever.

Check my channel. I have another version of this live.
Ditto.
They pissed
Nona with her belted soul, Sarah with her piercing soprano, and of course Ms Patti with her emotionally charged delivery all equaled Labelle! ❤🎉
There’s another live version on TH-cam also. Check it out.

How could Patti keep up that kind of energy for a 30 or 45 minute set? Most people would pass out.
So that means if anybody tried her, she would beat that ass.🤣🤣
I would
what really made Pattie was. Nona writing this music for real this is what I loved.

Well said. This is like phase 3 in my opinion. Bluebells, then early Labelle then advanced Labelle. Then numerous phases As a solo
Her voice is amazing, Patti's tone is completely different in this recording.
That harmony
The end always gives me chills.
Jarrell Borris shut up!!
The opening to listen.
Me too
This performance is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I get chills every time I hear this and pattie so dramatic every note coming straight from the heart and soul. Good lyrics. 😊
