Her voice in person around this time was incredible. It sounds great recorded but live you could feel the walls shake on some of the notes she hit. She got so many standing ovations- you could not keep seated- her voice was just incredible. It literally shook the theatre. I think Winner in You was her best album and her peak vocally.
This was during the Ashford & Simpson: Going Home Special which aired on Disney Channel on August 27, 1988. It included other guests including Nick Ashford, Valerie Simpson, Roberta Flack, Ben E. King, Paul Schaffer, Cissy Houston, Phyllis Hyman and Special Guest Stevie Wonder.
I have this on vhs, too. and this is by far and away the most incredible performance...............ever........................................Brilliant Genius who knows how to use every bit of her voice..
Such an amazing performance! I'm so glad you had the tape after all these years. The entire special was an incredible historical moment in music history with so many legends sharing their talents amongst peers. In fact, you'll notice Roberta Flack admiring Patti's performance at the end. Well, just a couple of years before this performance, Ms. Flack called up Ms. Labelle and invited her to take her place on the Johnny Carson show back in 1984. She wanted the world to witness her friend's talent so she graciously stepped aside to give Patti her slot. I love that degree of camaraderie and respect in the music industry and this video is a great reminder of how special it is for great talents to love on each other.
@@patgorden5002 You're all crazy.. Hilarious!!! A musical theatre singer, an exhibition of noise and note-holding, and you mad people equate that with beauty and artistry & hail her the greatest and put her in the same league as the greatest voice of all time. Truly demented people.
@@MM-tx7gi That is her style, that is what she is, a big loud voice, but that is not art, anybody who even attempts to put a loud noise and a long scream in the same league as the greatest voice of all time is clinically insane.
HAPPY 78th BIRTHDAY BELATEDLY (May 24, 2022) TO OUR WONDERFULLY OUTSTANDING INTERNATIONAL GOD MOTHER OF SOUL MISS PATTI LABELLE! 🥰MUCH LOVE 2 U MAMA !😍👍
@@markdrinkwater1508 I can't believe I'm saying this it's my first time I ever saw you say something positive about Patti LaBelle, it's never too late to change for the better.
my friends laugh when I call her "The Terminator"...because ol' girl dont be fuckin' around when she comes thru....and she comes thru like a freight train.
@@nateburch4977 yea that's the place but she sang if you ask me too in a different outfit the person that posted it took it down for some reason but that was her best version of that song

My favorite song by her she destroyed it in a good way! Loved it!
She is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. KIND UNLIKE ARETHA!
Go and take your medication. Aretha has no rivals, least of all a pitchy musical theatre belter.
Mark Drinkwater you didnt take yours my friend! Patti a musical theater belter get a life
It's not like kind of like Aretha she IS!
