  • Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball was a three-day celebration held by Oprah Winfrey honoring twenty-five African American women in art, entertainment, and civil rights.
    The celebration included a luncheon, white-tie ball, and gospel brunch. On May 22, 2006, a year after the celebration, a one-hour program about the weekend aired on ABC. It included celebrity interviews and behind-the-scenes moments.[1]

    I've been watching this clip for what, 7 years? And I STILL get obsessed over the section when Patti comes on, and watch it over and over. Nobody raises the level like Patti LaBelle.

    If you don't want to be embarrassed dont hand #PattiLaBelle the microphone. I've always felt her voice came from a very deep spiritual part of herself. Its like something she can't control, just really special.

    Black people are spiritually connected to the source. It can't always be explained but it's always felt! You can't teach it,it's just conveyed threw soulful expression. Only the creator and black ppl can truly understand it.
