Exactly such a Beautiful and well put together show 😊
See how Miss Parks went up to Tina to shake her hand..It shows the respect Parks had for Turner and vice versa
Such a classy, well-DRESSED audience.

TINA TURNER, A GIFT FROM FATHER N THE NAME OF MY LORD & SAVIOUR, LOVE ALWAYS, LINDA SUTTON

EVERYTHING today is a freaking mess.
I don't watch TV...theres not many stars at awards shows these days
Yup...True that!!! : (
Dante E YES INDEED. EXACTLY 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊
That back up singer for Patti killed it too
Yes that was an honor for her to accompany her.🥰
The awards were so real back then so genuine with real artist!!!!!!
Anita baker was so effortless with her vocals such a lady👏🏿👏🏿
Perfect for Lena horn tribute

Sad day.
Dates all mean something memorable of a fabulous singer ❤🎵🎼💕🙏😇
Tina Turner RIP. You are loved forever 😢❤💔😭
This was the best most elegant classy show of all time. Today’s 2021 young folks take note this is class & dignity
Carneal Overton 🤗 They don't hear u. Say it louder so the ones in the back can maybe hear it 📢📣
All hip hop trap bs mainstream
When Tina and Aretha both grabbed the hands of Rosa Parks. What a powerful image and moment in history.
And now they’re all together holding hands in Heaven 👼
@@rikkicorbett623 no they're not
These Lady's are so powerful they are untouchable.
@@123hot7 please go somewhere else
😊 😊nn
Patti sang that song, to/for Aretha Franklin,
You can see admiration all over the queen's face."ain't no way!" RIP Aretha, you are greatly missed, but never forgotten
Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin sitting right across from each other!!
The sad thing, is Aretha said she never met Tina before after that mess broke out when Beyonce introduced Tina as the Queen.
@@true1evanique What Aretha meant was her and Tina did not know each other for Tina to speak on Aretha's character.
@@sirblack1619 Aretha was bitter asf, I mean there's other Queen's. Aretha is a bigger star than Tina (I think) why would she get in her feelings over that.
@@marimuffin i think Tina has sold 10 times more records than Aretha´s
@@marimuffin I don't think he was trying to go that deep over something so small, Ms. Franklin has transitioned and the Mrs. Turner dilemma
with Ms. Franklin is dead and gone and shouldn't be revisited. Shall we live in the moment, pray for a brighter future and dwell on the past without being so reversely fatuous
and inconsequential? I pray blessings and prosperity over you, and stay safe You Guys!
This is a happy accident finding this and I want to thank you so very much for sharing this! This video is a true gem!
Yes! I did not know it existed. A treasure
I still do t understand why we don't have music like this and people like this anymore. Clearly heaps of people agree.
Totally agree
Because what you hear these people say before anything else is to give honor to God.. we as a nation have to turn back to our Creator. The God of of most high than and only than will we see a change
I am watching this on June 1st, 2023. I am proud of the recipients as though I know them. This the legacy of excellence, right here. Thank you for sharing it.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE AWARD SHOW OF ALL THE AWARD SHOWS WE EVER HAD, SO TASTEFULLY PUT TOGETHER.
SUSAN TAYLOR SAYING, OUR LIVES ARE A GIFT FROM GOD, AND WHAT WE DO WITH IT IS WHAT WE GIVE BACK TO GOD❤❤
Nobody else could have sung Stormy weather like Ms Anita Baker! Come thruuuu!!!👌🏾🦶🏾
The owner and founder of Little Caesar's Pizza found out that Miss Parks was living in substandard conditions. He gave her a home, without payment, until she died. I wasn't a customer of Little Caesar's but I became one after I discovered this information
A P ... thanks for that information..... big ups to Little Caesar Pizza!!.... and thank you Miss Rosa Parks!!
Thanks for the fun facts
Sadly, her own people didn't have her back.
It's not that she was living in substandard conditions, she just happened to get robbed and assaulted where she stayed. And it has nothing to do with Black people not having her back, although we should have been the FIRST to respond, I'll admit.
That's amazing, thank you for sharing that fact! I always love hearing of people doing beautiful things for others. I was amazed to see Rosa Parks alive on this broadcast and so honored that I was still alive at a time when she was still alive and I could really see the woman on television that I grew up hearing about in grade school. And I remember Carol Moseley Braun! That was such a big deal when she got elected. She really paved the way as well. Basically all these people being honored and on this stage really paid their dues. It's inspiring.
Miss Patti song that song "Ain't no way" LOVE YOU MAMA PATTI
Shoul did!!!
She truly did!
I love the way Patti hosted this show
Wow...Anita Baker so Regal and elegant

Beautiful & talented Ladies. None can compare to Tina Turner. Love Tina!!!
The awards are a gift to History. Thank you Essence and Susan Taylor
Anita Baker has an incredible speaking voice. Very soothing
They don't do it like this anymore - this class is unmatched.
These women were up in age, but did not look and act old! Incredible!
Angela 💯 7/11/18
Never seen ANITA BAKER look so beautiful. Great show, great memories ♥️
Tina and Rosa really come out on top here... so full of grace!
They showed us what Black Excellence was. We MUST get back to this before its too late. Some say it already is.
Dionne Warwick saying Aretha could probably sing opera is prophetic as she did a stunning rendition of Nessun Dorma in 1998.
Her psychic abilities kicked in. 😅😅
@@airicacain7255lol
Wow!!! I’ve never seen an award show like this in my 27 years of life!!! Award shows back then weren’t just about honoring music but also about honoring and then celebrating people in the community. Just amazing!! Times truly have changed and it’s really disappointing
Well spoken and much agreed!
Agreed the awards show nowadays is nothing more than a bunch of half naked people on stage that cannot sing cussing like sailors how gross
I’m not AfricanAmerican, but I came to America when I was 2 years and I totally agree with you. It has definitely changed for the Worse! Back then, people had Humanity, love for man kind and RESPECT!
Unfortunately it doesn’t exist anymore….
Same here 27 years of age, a sign of the times.🏞️🤗
My goodness: ANITA BAKER DID A GREAT JOB WITH STORMY WEATHER!
I like it how they did Tina first, Patti hugged both Aretha AND Tina, and in Lena Hornes video they showed the part when she said she is gonna be Tina for 10 mins lol
So this is when she sang ain't no way?
But that high A flat in the bridge kicked some of Miss Patti's ass (even with all the screamin and gesturing), just like it has done countless other singers. Aretha's recording of this song set the standard very high. Amber Riley is a strong 2nd. Kelly Price handles it well, but even she lowered the key from Aretha's E flat major down a whole step to D flat. Very few others have been successful in any key.
Assayud Whaddameant Patti LaBelle voice is much bigger than that song you sound crazy as hell
What does her big voice have to do with the A flat? Take a music theory class or a voice lesson, queen. Then try n come for me.
tinasfan1010 wh
Lena loved that honor given to her.
Thank you so much for posting this. This video is truly a treasure. I don't think we will ever see so many iconic people honored at one event again.
All of these women were exceptional and had a lot of class and talent to go along with it. I miss the Essence awards that show cased acts with class.
I ABSOLUTELY agree with you 💯 percent!!!!
Couldn't help but really appreciate Mrs. SWEET ALICE HARRIS 'S acceptance speech. Priceless!!!!!!!!!!
How wonderful
Tina Turner is the most incredible woman of all time

A lot of them are. I love Tina but you can't exclude Patti, Aretha, Anita etc...
@@annt.7785 exactly

You better speak on it !!
Just as powerful and encouraging as it was in 1993. ❤❤❤
🙏 RIP TINA TURNER 🙏
"Simply The Best"
This is one of the best renditions of this song o have ever heard... Patti is so good, she turned this into her song at the same time giving Aretha credit. That's amazing!
One of the BEST award shows....EVER!!! Tina's beauty and style, Flo Jo's beauty and body, Gail's story and strength, Rosa Parks and the respect and dignity she commands, Sweet Alice...you are absolutely delightful ❤......and then Patti Labelle....she brought the house down with her rendition of the Aretha Franklin classic...ain't no way......the best awards show...Ever!!!!!! ❤ ❤💙💜💖💗💘❤💙
Don't forget Lena Horne !!!
You got the Queen of Rock n' roll and the Queen of soul then you got the incomparable Queen of Rock n' Soul woohhhhhh
Who's that?
Patti singing Aint no way 45:10
So black, so excellent , so sexy, so sophisticated, so classy. Just so damn powerful!
That era was everything 🙌
1993 Essence Awards was off the chain. Better than some of these awards shows today.and these WOMEN TOTALLY flawless and didn't need much MAKE-UP!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊
Stephanie Mills, Chante Moore, and Karyn White!! Three of my favorite singers of all time and did a very beautiful job paying tribute to Ms. Tina Turner!! They did an outstanding job on "Proud Mary".
shamon davis they were all horrible on those songs, they took 3 soul singers and gave them soft rock songs and they were completely out of their element .. Stephanie was the only one who sounded good singing her song
Malcolm Garrett agree
@@RoyalMocha92 I totally agree!!
@@RoyalMocha92 totally agree with EVERY last word.
@@RoyalMocha92 Agreed, however Change did well. Karyn White flopped.
LENA HORNE BABYYYY!!!! LEGENDARY ALL AROUND!
meboneme1 Lena Horne has always been a dime piece! This was 25 years ago and she was 75 or 76 depending on which month this took place in. 7/11/18
God Bless you, sweet Ms. Rosa Parks,..and Rest In Heaven !!!
Tina Turner is stunning.
"Sweet Alice" Harris just touched my soul!
~Blake
Lena Horne was a game changer and beautiful black women
Thanks was so good seeing you today make me feel so happy God bless you all
Drr.Hawkins really touched me her spirit is so sweet and authentic great educator much love to her and her determination to help the kids of today our future for tomorrow 😘
Notice most ladies have on Gowns except Tina Turner. Those legs are out in full display
It was said Tina's legendary legs had insurance of a million each leg back in the 80's when she went solo. 😳
Queen of soul Miss. ARETHA FRANKLIN!
Every woman has a Tina Turner inside them. What are you going to do if your inner Tina Turner gets out
Tina Turner is Flawless .very beautiful. And didn't need a Ton of MAKE-UP!that's what I'm talking about 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😊
I miss seeing LEGENDS on awards shows. Whitney, Patti, Aretha, Celine....

I agree truly grateful to look at so well put together and thoughtful definitely loved Dr Carla Wilson Hawkins award ❤

Look at Anne Margaret giving it up for Tina!! Come on legends!
WOW...all the greats were there under one roof!! Even Rosa Parks! What wonderful days. ❤
The Golden part was when Rosa Parks walk down the ramp and Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin shook , Park's hand
and supposedly Tina and Aretha never met. I don't see how that is so when they were sitting right across from each other.
@@pingachulo69 I found a picture of Tina approaching Aretha sitting with Lena Horne the definitely met.
@@godfamilymichaeljackson50 I saw that picture and thought it sad that Areatha had lied saying that they haven't met.
@@true1evanique they hated each other
@@true1evanique Wow she said that? Ashamed. I don't know why Ree treated ladies of her era poorly.
OMG! Anita Baker never dissapoints, NEVER!! 1:07:00
Dr Corla Hawkins,..blessings to you Black Queen !!!
Anita did her thang

It's sad that no one talks about how wonderful Shanice is!
TINA!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did the Essence Magazine stop doing Awards
This was a top notch production
Susanne Taylor sold the company
🥲
The Essence Festival began in 1995. I went to that inaugural event. I think the effort to create and sustain that may be why. It is a 4-5 day program of entertainment and education and information geared toward the black woman. I haven’t been able to get back to New Orleans to attend another. It is a Herculean effort that has been successful for its entire run. It is held annually on the weekend closest to he 4th of July.
@@dignifiedblackman4742 Susan Taylor never owned Essence. So she couldn't sell anything. She was simply the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine oversaw all extension events related to it.
I wonder why Whitney Houston wasn't a part of this event 🤔
Those personal testimonies to Dr, Hawkins were SO MOVING. God bless you Dr. Hawkins!
Yes indeed ❤️
Dr Hawkins.... Wow! You got my respect and admiration too . Hope life is treating you kind too. Xx
Victor Gomes
At 52:25 Sweet Alice's statement is life !!!
Loved this! Natural bodies, not all of that make up, not all of your body parts out for the world to see! Miss seeing such elegance.
Anita Baker looks stunning!
Beautiful job ladies singing Tina's song. Wonderful show.
Queen Aretha. 👸🏾
It is c absolutely unspeakable how GORGEOUS Anita Baker is here. And the way she crooned Lena"s song??? 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely 💯
I love everyone there! It is amazing to have that many great people in one place. Thanks Essence!
Tina Turner is simply the best and no1
Shanice was awesome, if she laid that down today..ppl would be going nuts.
Damn, what difference 30 years makes! This should be kept in a time capsule somewhere safe!
