Wow, her ability to flex her pipes and crescendo in an instant was and is incredible, and Mr. Blue Eyed Soul had and has one of the smoothest, most soulful voices ever recorded....they're both extraordinary....
Please jesus if only i could go back just Once just only once. Lord have mercy. I was only a kid. In 1985. So many beautiful people.We have lost so many people that we love so so Much. When this record was released it was completely and utterly The epitome of everything In these eighties years we had the best t t v the best Clothes i've ever seen in my life time I will love that spliced video for the rest of my life Patti❤ labelle and michael mcdonald when It was recorded.She was in one place and he was in another. To make it this brilliant❤ I never wanted a lot of money to be rich. I can pretty much sing every note. Of a lot of songs with that talent But if you become famous, you can never go back to being you. The day before you became famous. And everybody knows this is true. Being able to sing and perform like this is a miracle. And a special blessing When all you had in the 80s were tvs and radios. And stereos, you could teach yourself, so follow along and learn how to sing these beautiful songs and if you had a gift you were in there. But being famous is not what I want. But I think I love every group and every performer from the 1970s and 80s.Everybody there's not one I don't think I don't like It's a whole lot of love. But I have love patty labelle so long and michael mcdonald Hallelujah's❤
They both didn’t want to break up. I just lost my lover. She felt the same but it’s over. Going to see her today first time in months. She’s Canadian (BC) I’m in Seattle. Covid border closure did us in. I’m bitter forever. We have new partners.
I've been looking for this after happening across it a few years ago. For some reason, it wouldn't pop up until now. I kept having dreams about that bass guitar. That bass "bottom" feels so good to my ears and heart. Of course, Ms. Patti and Mr. McDonald did the damn thang too!
They are equals, in terms of vocal talent. That said, not every duet where you match two extraordinary talents sounds as good as this one. This one is just pure magic.
...I wonder if this is the 1986 "Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" performance, when they actually MET for the first time, to sing the Song....Patti & Michael's voices were 'spliced' on the original track, but, when the tune hit #1, June, 1986, they met IN PERSON for the 1st time to sing the tune! ...it looks like his set.....
PERHAPS ANOTHER " GREATEST COMBO(LEAD & BACKING ALTERNATING) IS MS. LABELLE WITH LATE LAURA NYRO (GIVE " THE BELLS", & OTHERS (" UP ON THE ROOF", OOH BABY" A LISTEN. GUARANTEE U WILL BE BLOWN AWAY BY MS. NYRO, MS. LABELLE & THE BLUE BELLES.
This is a great performance. There is another live performance from the Apollo in 1986 I think, that is probably even better in my opinion. TH-cam erased it and I can't find it anywhere
@@gerekbraden2983 Yeah I really liked that video.. It was recorded from someone's vcr, and it was great because it had them both on stage plus the background singers and the crowd was right there and really into it. Hopefully it pops up again someday
In credibly she's doing the Eartha Kitt on this one! I'm beside myself! Patti must have just been channeling that day. Even more ironic is that she looks like Jessye Norman. It's full-circle.
.....The ORIGINAL footage (owned by Johnny Carson's estate) was damaged in an arson fire; they lost a GREAT deal of the filmed footage of "The Johnny Carson Show" during this period (80's), so THIS will possibly be the ONLY footage ever seen.....
@@patgorden5002 Patti would never support the way you’ve disrespected Aretha. It’s almost sick. Borderline mentally ill. Patti would not claim you as one of her fans.
They recorded the song separately and they filmed the music video separately. This was their first time performing the song together.
Despite the crappy audio quality of an old VHS tape, the emotion, feel, and masterful performance shine through.
Patty te quiero propaganda de Argentina década del 80 sería por ella tal vez la guerre du few pelicula
In her prime, she was, and is, one of the GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME! PATTI LABELLE THERE WILL BE NO OTHER.
I agree! I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Definitely one of the greatest and my Favorite.
Yep. Patti Labelle.
Wow, her ability to flex her pipes and crescendo in an instant was and is incredible, and Mr. Blue Eyed Soul had and has one of the smoothest, most soulful voices ever recorded....they're both extraordinary....
Yes l love his voice❤
The more I have heard music and studied over the past 47 years, the more I am AMAZED at Patti's abilities. She was phenomenal
I've never seen Patti sing while sitting!! My favorite duet of all time...these two are SO incredible!!
you're in for a treat she performed an entire song on her back. th-cam.com/video/zZLZe_s8oxA/w-d-xo.html
Patti and Michael do make a great team!
I HOPE you’ve seen the clips of her singing while laying down
Written by the late great BURT BACHARACH and his then wife CAROLE BAYER SAGER. Amazing song this is!
She said this was their first time meeting...I mean they really know how to sell it
one of the better duets, produced in the last 40 yrs or so...I mean, how the Hell can you go wrong with these two singing these lyrics. Both legends..
Love this song. Michael is so gorgeous 😍
Ooooop !!! That little kiss at the end was everything. 😍❤ True adoration for each other. 😁
I preferred Patti holding that extended note right before it.
They have so much chemistry as duet singers. By the end I wanted them reconciled and married.
Awww thats sweet!! They're amazing together, so much chemistry
I love that song, especially Michael.. were they ever a couple?
@@gloriaking9131 no
This performance was their first time meeting...so dope

Song is so nostalgic for those of us who were around when it premiered on the radio waves.
I've NEVER heard this song so DOPE! The Bass Guitar does it for me! 💯🎸🙌🏾
Patti is so fucking bad ass. I have cried watching her perfom thos with Michael😂
i never get tired of listening to this song by these two marvelous singers

3:42 will always be my favourite 🥹❤️

I'm glad you were able to finally find this performance! Everything about it is amazing!
My lord have mercy !!!!!!! Wow 2 powerhouses going toe to toe !!!!!!
PHENOMENAL !!!!! Love u both !!! 😘😘💥
That was something, wasn't it? Fantastic find!
The kiss ❤
The two of them in their vocal primes, my goodness. One of the best duets you will ever hear.
Que cantores maravilhosos.
I can't believe this is their first time performing this song together live and singing it in the sane room, wow. Microphones on! 🔥🔥🔥
You guys even rocked it live in 2001.
WOW WOW. Unreal. Pure magic!!
Its really a wonderful and rare performance!
Thank you for uploading this performance with Patti and Michael . I remember this Patti LaBelle special. DYNAMIC!!!! Perfection from both artists.
It really is a wonderful performance! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Wow. Adore Patti but just got chills when Michael sang too. Fab backing singers. Thank-you for uploading this! ❤
He does sound amazing. Everything about this performance is top notch! I'm so glad glad you enjoyed it!
They are equals, in terms of vocal talent. That said, not every duet where you match two extraordinary talents sounds as good as this one. This one is just pure magic.
Consummate performers. Simply amazing. Great song, great match, great performance. Wish I had been there.
2:50... that RUN
Both absolutely epic.
This is spine tinglingly beautiful!!!!

I really think that you are correct! It was they're first meeting and they did phenomenal!
@@gerekbraden2983 ....i think this it....wonderful......
This!!!! Patti & Michael!!!!! Love it
Wow. that was awesome.
Great singer and cook! Love Patti
To me this duet can only be compared with Dionne Warwick and Jeffrey Osborne with the song Love Power another masterpiece of the period
They don't make duets like this anymore.
Wow i didnt know this song was that old. Guess im on my own
THAT WAS AMAZING!
Amazing!
Top Class...
Soooo good 😊
Beautiful
Excellent.
Timeless! Thank you!
You're welcome!!

Música linda , fica mais bonita com essa dupla, se sensacional !
Sing!
Que sortuda! Ainda ganhou um selinho dele!❤
This is a great performance. There is another live performance from the Apollo in 1986 I think, that is probably even better in my opinion. TH-cam erased it and I can't find it anywhere
I didn't know that! TH-cam is good at erasing wonderful vids.
@@gerekbraden2983 Yeah I really liked that video.. It was recorded from someone's vcr, and it was great because it had them both on stage plus the background singers and the crowd was right there and really into it. Hopefully it pops up again someday
Just watched it on TH-cam before watching this version.
Me too
omfg please link it
So 😮. Good 👍🏾
In credibly she's doing the Eartha Kitt on this one! I'm beside myself! Patti must have just been channeling that day. Even more ironic is that she looks like Jessye Norman. It's full-circle.
Great!! It would've been also nice to have shown the interview after w/ em w/ Johnny.
That guitar getting down
thanks for sharing this!! Legends!
You're very welcome!!! Yesss they are!!!
Listen to real music young bloods
These two should’ve got together after this song seeing how well they connected
The sweating flicking with the nails just gives me life🏳️🌈
No yes
someone can remaster this?
.....The ORIGINAL footage (owned by Johnny Carson's estate) was damaged in an arson fire; they lost a GREAT deal of the filmed footage of "The Johnny Carson Show" during this period (80's), so THIS will possibly be the ONLY footage ever seen.....
So she really used to sing the full lyrics of the song!
YESS they did!!!
🗣️ Aquele famoso ditado: "Quem sabe faz ao vivo"!
Muito melhor que playback 😁.
what happened to great music?
I ask myself that every day!
She let him sing a bit this time. 🙄
Sometimes I wish Patti would just sing the damn song! All that extra is unnecessary.
Patti is always extra . They're lucky she didn't flip the piano over and sing on top of it 😂
She sang it just like the recorded version 😅
Nope, give me all the extra stuff Patti, please. Legendary Status from beginning til now. Their voices are moving mountains for us. ❤
She didn't do anything that extraneous here that she didn't do on the record itself. Just a little different nuances here and there.
Yes, she distracted from the song.
Very more controlled. I wish Labelle always sang like this. Less yelling and more beauty.
Definitely one of her better duets
TAKE HER AS SHE IS, DON'T MAKE HER OVER! YOU AND DEAD ARETHA!
@@patgorden5002 Refer to Aretha as “Dead Aretha” to Patti and watch what she does to you. Patti would despise you 🤣
@@hinderless5811 Just like Aretha does not know you! 😂🤣😂
@@patgorden5002 Patti would never support the way you’ve disrespected Aretha. It’s almost sick. Borderline mentally ill. Patti would not claim you as one of her fans.
