Ain't no young people sangin' like this today! This is gospel rooted talent! Young people Ain't in the church like that anymore. Just like the song says...."Isn't It A Shame!" We'll never hear music like this ever again.
A shout out to the person who requested this song. I love this song. Those voices just does something to me. It's like you can feel the emotions. Top Tier song.
Let me start with this my favorite song of all time. It brings me to tears 99 percent of the time. That feel good cry. What makes this song so mystifying IMO, is the pitch their voices hit when singing "Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave!" Without that pitch, it would be a different song to me. Thank you dear GOD that I am old enough to have witnessed such genius in music because it's an absolute wrap now.
Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash and Patti Labelle are the most powerful singing voices ever. There was no way these 3 woman were ever going to stay in each others shadow.
@keithtodd4493 great point however they were not Pattis back up singers/background singers. Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash and Patti LaBelle together are LABELLE! A group, not background singers.
@@Patti169 as much as I love Whitney, she could literally never outdo Patti Labelle. That’s straight up delusional to believe something like that. Be fr
I didn't recognize the name of this song. But once I started listening to it, I instantly remembered this as a truly beautiful song. My favorite Labelle song is "What Can I Do For You". I've got to listen to that song when ever I have the need to feel grateful to be alive.
Here are 2 absolute truths Ashley: 1. Todays artist lack creativity because they sample hits instead of creating their own music. 2. The reason you have chills is because these 3 ladies are singing from personal experiences. I give this reaction 5 hearts ❤❤❤❤❤
That's an excellent, articulately elegant point you make; 'cause...every generation has to find its own way. But...I fear for the future of Black music, because I don't believe that the tradition is being carried "forward"--in a way that ensures its continual evolution. In jazz?...yes! But, in r&b?...not so much. Too many artist are just looking for shortcuts to take--to get the biggest payout. There is no longer any "craft" (beyond sampling) involved in the production of r&b anymore. Sadly. 😥
@HeeeyOhaji that is an absolutely ridiculous statement to people who adore this young lady. Because we disagree with someone’s musical taste that determines how we treat young people?? How narrow minded can you be.
@HeeeyOhaji not gaslighting at all I host a podcast for student athletes, The Expect to Win Experience Talk Show, my background is in the music industry and I own Black Entertainment Magazine so I know exactly what I’m talking about.
@@expecttowintv1858 Well, I can't see what that person said to you but listen. Just because you're in the music industry doesn't mean that the original comment isn't fact. Also, what possum said as well. You can't get better & better if you can't handle being critiqued. Young folks are too fragile these days. Less and less people write their own music, sample too much, and don't play multiple instruments. It really does seem like shortcuts are the focus ... unless they're in competitions like American Idol. I can't stand that show anymore, but that's what we're talking about. Black music is getting further & further from giving me chills like this one does.
Please react to Patti Labelle singing "Isn't It A Shame", solo, from her Look To The Rainbow tour in 1985. Trust and believe, you won't be disappointed.
i remember when this album came out they had started the columbia house music club. my sister ordered this with a lot more stellar albums. man, when that box came in the mail, my sister was jumping up and down and screaming and crying. I still have that album to this very day.
Dear Ashley, Thank you for your analysis . First time I see you. I lived all this music and I will tell you everybody brought something to the table during those times from LaBelle to AL Green. From Elton John to James Taylor. I just love when younger people discover these songs . Thx
Great reaction. You should react to these ladies singing YOU turn me on live during the Labelle of the 1970s and then react to them singing You turn me on and Good intentions during their reunion tour.
Ashley...you are now in dangerous waters. Not long ago, you reacted to Gladys Knight and The Pips', "Neither One Of Us". I read all of the ensuing comments about how you misinterpreted the song's meaning. Just like this song--THAT song by Gladys Knight also laments the reality that people are faced with--when they realize that they have to part (divorce). There's a good reason why this category of music was created; and why it was subsequently called, "Soul". THAT is the place where the emotions they uncover reside. And THAT is where you feel it. One more thing, friend. Given your response to this song, I would like for you to consider reacting to a gospel tune. (I'm probably the first to ask for one!!) One in which the artist , (like Patti LaBelle) directs and steers you...emotionally. Soulfully. While I've grown accustomed to your "stop & start" style of commentary--THIS song experience would suffer greatly if you applied that reaction style to it. It needs to be experienced "Uninterrupted". The artist is Shirley Caesar; and the song is: "Don't Drive Your Mama Away." Clearly, her and Patti LaBelle know an awful lot about the power of "delivery" when it comes to storytelling. I've enjoyed watching your development--as a young person who loves this generation's music. Thank you--for honoring "our" tradition . Respect. 🙏🏾
@@whostheblackprivatestick8565 What a great commentary. And...what a great suggestion for the Shirley Caesar song. You are right! I've searched and I don't see anybody who has reacted to that song. I'm very familiar with it; and,(when listening to it) it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. She is such a good storyteller.
This song takes me back to the late,1970s. I actually enjoyed a concert with 👑🌹Patti and the late, great, 'for real,' 👑 Original King of Comedy, "Sir Richard Pryor." Amazing memory...❤️💯
Good example of your commentary, Is New Edition can you stand the rain. You're absolutely right! Any relationship you're in takes work to maintain the love and commitment to each other.
This whole album is a. banger! Worth listening are the title song "Chameleon", "It's A Joy to Have Your Love", and especially "Come Into My Life, I've Got a Lot to Give."
Wow... Patii, Nona & Sarah (R.I.P)... Shout out to the Philly & New Jersey Queens, and music director Budd Ellison on piano!!! Great album from start to finish. "Come Into My Life" is a banger too!🎶❤✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
This is why we ol' schoolers can't embrace y'all's music the way that y'all can embrace our's. Your music just isn't real enough for us for the most part. It doesn't really teach or convey things to us in the way that we're use to being touched and taught musically.
Say that sh!t again!! Younger generations don't produce music like this because they don't process Life in ways that make them "think" this deeply. ABOUT ANYTHING!! And...it's not entirely their fault. As we learned in my computer programming classes long ago: "Garbage In--Garbage Out".
Interesting point. In all the years I've heard this, I never considered it from that perspective. Isn't it a shame?...that I never saw it as an ode to the one that got away? But...I AM reminded of that one by the Spinners: "How Could I Let You Get Away?"
Yeah Patti LaBelle has got some "pipes", and I think that like Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and others that she came out of the church choir. Good reaction! ✌️😎
This album debuted in 1976 prior to Jamie Fox in the media..... The original name of the group was " Patti Labelle and the Bluebells ^..... The entire album Chameleon is worth a listen...Trust me during that time music was an ENTIRELY different way of life.... Those who know just NO.,
Understand....THIS IS PATTI! and Patti is going to Patti. However, when Patti got her sistaz with her in Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash, lungs will get tested!!!
Please do "YOU ARE MY FRIEND". I just feel like there are some people who need to be reminded that life is too short to let misunderstandings keep once close friendships and siblings from communicating. No one has done this. So you be the first.
I wonder if Donnie Hathaway played piano on this session. I know he was indicative of the style of the time. But the sound and style is spot on dinnie.
Well, you missed the harmonizing that happened with this song. Some of the greatest harmony in history. Who you know these days that can blow soprano like Sarah Dash? The lyrics were simple, but the way they sang that song, you youngsters missed the point. It'll give you chills the entire time. They were crying together with that song. Ms. Patti did her thing too. Her backup singers made that song outstanding. Back in the day when people sang their hearts out, instead of screaming lyrics. Lyrics + harmony = never will you hear it like that again with no singer enhancers.
It's a "generational" thing. Younger people sometimes feel the need to become the subject; when the focus SHOULD remain on the object being critiqued. But, give her time. "This too will pass." (...hopefully)
To all these people criticizing you, don't realize the analyzation is adoration of real emotion in music! If you can't stand it, her channel isn't for you! Take your negativity and move on! Love you Ashley!
@@arthurlangford5861 Point taken. But...there's a point where the unnecessary chatter and repeating exactly what has just been said in the lyric--becomes just plain, (pardon me for saying it) "childish". It's the equivalent of a toddler coming downstairs to where the adults are--and doing cartwheels; all the while saying: "Look at me!! Look at me!!" But, this comes with the territory of reaction videos. Sometimes it's hard for the person doing the reactions to resist making THEMSELVES the center of attention, instead of the music (movie, etc). Nonetheless, it IS possible for the viewers to do exactly what they expect from the reactor: provide honest & RESPECTFUL feedback; with the hope that the host will consider whether or not it's a "valid" criticism. But...a person's individual level of "maturity" will always determine their capacity for handling criticism--don't you think?
@@arthurlangford5861 Why is constructive criticism negativity? Anyone who does anything in a public forum type environment would expect it, I would think.

LaBelle's 3-part harmony was insane. Every. Single. Time. ❤❤❤
Thaz what I'm talkin bout. ❤ It's like they were breaking my heart with that singing. 💔
This song is the definition of going to church. It was like listening to a choir and Patti’s range is insane!
Patti sounds like a "preacher" on this song. She sings it in a style very similar to Rev. Shirley Caesar.
@@whostheblackprivatestick8565 Yeah the music from back in the day is just beautifully arranged.
What's ever more powerful is seeing them do this song live. I was a witness in 1977. Powerful concert unforgettable 🎶🎤✅️💯
I probably would have fainted hearing this live
I saw them live too in San Francisco during the 70's; maybe it was the 80's. 👊🏿

Sarah Dash tore up that soprano in that harmony...she drew those notes out to the end of each chorus like no other.❤

Patti LaBelle and sisters before she went solo. They had some great hits like " Lady Mamadlade".
