The fact that they all have a distinctively different delivery and sound, yet they blend perfectly is a true testament to their bond through vocal abilities. True sisters. Labelle is beyond underrated!!!
I was at that concert also with Nona getting the wrapped brick. Tower theater and still remember all the whistles in the audience. Best concert ever. They started this song on a seated on a riser behind a shim screen and finished on stage. Pure magic that night.
@@mreynol1 they were an absolute musical power house!!! Clear lyrics, close harmonies and presumably Sarah taking the top line and KILLING it. Such a wonderful combination of talented singers
@@loulou8944 I just found out she passed! Sarah was no joke. What I loved about their harmonies is that you can hear each one of them. The Nona was great too. But Sarah just does something to me.
Robert Nieves you had to truly live this like I did Patti and the blue bells all the time it was Nona who was the writer of the songs let's reconize genius behind this group .
@@stevelangely8004 concur. I was too young to appreciate Cindy Birdsong’s contribution to the Bluebells but Patti, Nona and Sarah were magical together as LaBelle
It's not tht patti outshines nona nd sarah it's tht together they were a powerful trio together their sound was all their own. They were soul personafied at a time when blkfolks was ashamed of their god given blkness..
AHH quite the opppsitte this era when I was kid seem we were BLACK n PROUD as F about it !!! without question been playing Labelle since hearing of SARAH DASH's Passing r i p thinking about how this music and style was my olders sisters moms & aunties n cousins to all thr family gatherings and such this totally the BADASS BLACK IS BEATTIFUL ERA / LABELLE WAS GOSPELLDELIC /BLACK n COSMIC FUNK / AFRO PUNK & WAY AHEAD OF THIER TIME where these voices R CRUSHIN todays singers can't F wit this RAWNESS !!!
@@anthonynelson2012 With Sarah on top and Nona on the bottom, it leaves room for her to emote. And Nona's songs are a perfect showcase for all of them.
@@lauramorgan2928 Maybe vocally but commercially, The Emotions were more successful by far. I would even say that EnVogue was a better female group than Labelle. I don't let nostalgia persuade my rationale.
The Supremes could have really had their own brand of harmony. It was evident on two of my favorite live albums by them, LIVE AT THE COPA and LONDON'S TALK OF THE TOWN, but due to division and ruthlessness, it killed in actually what really and truly could've been.
Stax of Funk No I des agree Nona wrote the songs that they sung I liked them just as they were Patti was not as good as with them talent all the way around true performance the close the style!!
Finding the words to describe these 3 lionesses who with their unsurpassable grit accompanied my adolescence and youth is really impossible,thank you girls you have been among my greatest teachers.Greetings from sicily island
Management these were the good old days, l'm from Philly coming out of high school in 1973 wow my friends and I use to go all over to see them in concert never did they disappoint. Music and concerts aren't like this any more happy that I came up in this time & era.
patti always sang in her lower register back then; if you didn't know her you've never thought she could hit all those "Patti-sonic" notes she's so capable of doing like no one else can.
Pure space-soul... I have been waiting years and years for the video of "Labelle Live at The Met" I remember seeing it when I was a kid...PLEASE RELEASE IT !!!!
Simply effortless and amazing! You can not underestimate how well they harmonized as a group. It also is evident that they actually enjoyed singing with each other. No shade Ms. Ross.
The fact that they all have a distinctively different delivery and sound, yet they blend perfectly is a true testament to their bond through vocal abilities. True sisters. Labelle is beyond underrated!!!
Rest in heaven Sarah Dash love Labelle this is my song.
R.I.P. Sarah Dash!!! One of the most beautiful soulful voices ever!!!
Oh no! Say it ain’t so! 😢
Patti + Nona + Sarah = One MIGHTY SOULFUL CHOIR!!!
Back in 76, I seen them perform this at the Tower Theater in Philly, I lost my goddamn mind!
I saw them there too
It was Nonas birthday, and a dude in a QUEEN tshirt, gave her a wrapped up brick as a present.Never understood that.
@@JohnSmith-qj6bj LoL. In Labelle-land, that's love -- somehow!
I was at that concert also with Nona getting the wrapped brick. Tower theater and still remember all the whistles in the audience. Best concert ever. They started this song on a seated on a riser behind a shim screen and finished on stage. Pure magic that night.
Who harmonizes like that!!!!NOBODY!!! My sisters are SANGING!!!🔥🔥🔥What a trio of BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!!!❤❤❤
Sarah was killing that intro!!!! All over that top note!!!
Who's who in this line up?
@@loulou8944 Sarah's on the far right. Nona in the middle. Patti on the left. They are all throwing down! Real sangin!
@@mreynol1 they were an absolute musical power house!!! Clear lyrics, close harmonies and presumably Sarah taking the top line and KILLING it. Such a wonderful combination of talented singers

Patti singing by herself is enough to give me the vapors, but with Sarah and Nona, that's musical divinity right there!!!
Robert Nieves that's who wrote the music I miss them the three bought a hole era.
Robert Nieves you had to truly live this like I did Patti and the blue bells all the time it was Nona who was the writer of the songs let's reconize genius behind this group .
Saddest day for me when Patti went solo. Triple threat is the best threat❤️❤️❤️
@@imar3248 I love them as soloists, but nothing compares to their combined talents.
@@stevelangely8004 concur. I was too young to appreciate Cindy Birdsong’s contribution to the Bluebells but Patti, Nona and Sarah were magical together as LaBelle
When they all can SANG.
Real voices!!! Real music!!! Real notes!!?
Hey ms wooten u may not remember me but im leshae hudson your old student from last year at NACA 2
Oh and thats a nice performance
+shirelle hudson Hello Sweetie! I hope you are doing well in school. God bless and keep you!!!
Real Women. No Auto tune or fake fillers here.Au Natural with a side of SOUL injection.
Yesss R.I.P. SARAH
I absolutely love Nona Hendrix!!! she is spellbinding!!!
I LOVE THIS SARAH DASH IS SINGIG HER FACE OFF AND PATTI JUST KILLS IT
It's not tht patti outshines nona nd sarah it's tht together they were a powerful trio together their sound was all their own. They were soul personafied at a time when blkfolks was ashamed of their god given blkness..
+William Evans tell it,now. I sure am God made me black today.

@@ronpaizley9349 That's right ✊🏿 🌌.
Patti's lower register is so underrated!!!
Yes it is. I actually prefer it
@@anthonynelson2012 With Sarah on top and Nona on the bottom, it leaves room for her to emote. And Nona's songs are a perfect showcase for all of them.
@@stevelangely8004 Is that Patti in the middle harmony?
@@mreynol1 She's far left, singing the middle harmony. They said after singing 16 yrs together, they could improvise harmonies onstage.
R.I.P Queen Sarah, no one can hold those notes down like you
How did I miss the news that Sarah had passed? 😢
Oshun, Yemeja and Oya all on one stage....
What's that
Trinity Green African goddess
I was thinking the same thing!!!!!
SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spot on Brotha!!!!! The goddesses be coming thru!!!
These ladies were the trinity of music
I LOVE THAT THEY SANG IT LIKE IT IS ON THE ALBUM. ...YESSS THEY DID THAT.
Better tbh
Patti LaBelle sung the SHIT out the song.I 💘 her Dramatic Soprano voice.
@@quincycooper79 but she sung the middle notes in the harmonies best imo
@@rlly_james_smh1744 That was their harmonic strength. Sarah on top, Patti in the middle, Nona on the bottom.
The best female group ever
You right bout that
Haven’t been anyone close period!
@@lauramorgan2928 Really child! The Emotions are equal or perhaps superior.
@@honeyc I loved the emotions and saw them twice in concert in Houston, but I stand on my word. Sarah and Patty are fire
@@lauramorgan2928 Maybe vocally but commercially, The Emotions were more successful by far. I would even say that EnVogue was a better female group than Labelle. I don't let nostalgia persuade my rationale.
It's crazy how Patti started as a Funk Rocker with LaBelle and then became the icon she is today. And we have the same birthday
Rest Peacefully Sarah 💐🕊
Sing with the Angels 💕
Amen, Queen Sarah❤👑
2020 I’m 28 I can’t go without it! Rih dad 5/12/19❤️❤️❤️❤️
These women can sing like it's nobody's business. RIP Ms. Sara Dash. This was a powerful performance from professional singers. ❤
If you don't know what soul music is.......that whole audience stood up!!🧐😁
Singing Soul Sistahs. Love Labelle. They sang rings around all the girl groups.
I've got to get this album. These ladies are wicked beyond belief. I just recently discovered their music
Líveyou
Iamgoingtosleeptonight ❤😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅
Yôuare mybestfreindinmylife freind i
These women sang from the heart, you could just feel the passion,
Rest In Peace, Sarah Dash!!!!!!!
This is how you harmonize the supremes could never do this
The Supremes could have really had their own brand of harmony. It was evident on two of my favorite live albums by them, LIVE AT THE COPA and LONDON'S TALK OF THE TOWN, but due to division and ruthlessness, it killed in actually what really and truly could've been.
+maxxdroid1975 Diana done that Flo was the voice of the Supremes and Mary was the glue that held them together
+Devin Matthews Labelle and the Supremes were completely different creatures. I like both for very different reasons.
I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT STILL VOCALLY LABELLE IS BETTER
I agree in general, but which grouping of Supremes are we talking about?
I get chills everytime I play this song!
Yes and then transition into ISNT IT ASHAME...double chills.
40+ yrs. later and I still get chills!!!
Wow, what a gem. LaBelle was truly before their time!
The Powerful Black Goddess Sound!!! Celestial.
I am so glad i was able to witness This FAB Group of Women just BUST INTO the Scene in the 70s by changing OUTFITS.Lord love LaBelle
The Greatest Group,Amen.
I watch this clip for the way Patti sings "come into my life" 2:20-2:23
Labelle was meant to be - the group was far superior as a trio then a quartet. They found their lane when they changed to Labelle
Stax of Funk No I des agree Nona wrote the songs that they sung I liked them just as they were Patti was not as good as with them talent all the way around true performance the close the style!!
Three Beautiful "Divas" killin' it back in the day, when music was Soul For Real.!!!!
Finding the words to describe these 3 lionesses who with their unsurpassable grit accompanied my adolescence and youth is really impossible,thank you girls you have been among my greatest teachers.Greetings from sicily island
HHHHHHONEY IF YOU EVER BEEN TO A LABELLE CONCERT, YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT
REMEBER WHEN THEY ASCENDED FROM AIR TO THE STAGE
UNTOUCHABLES RIGHT HERE
Clayton Brown me too The Ambassador Theatre St Louis Mo 1975 😮👀
what a performance !
Management these were the good old days, l'm from Philly coming out of high school in 1973 wow my friends and I use to go all over to see them in concert never did they disappoint. Music and concerts aren't like this any more happy that I came up in this time & era.
No words needed---They're killin' it! And I'm thrown back to my teen years, just lovin' it...
"This is how you do a ball ".
Patti holding that note @ 4:15 then @ 4:34 it's gets sho nuff funkayyy, I wanted that to last FOREVER❤
patti always sang in her lower register back then; if you didn't know her you've never thought she could hit all those "Patti-sonic" notes she's so capable of doing like no one else can.
SHE IS ONE OF A KIND!
The ladies are on fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 And that band is cooking.
They ain't need that microphone...it was so in the way!!!
The original AFRO PUNK // GOSPELLDELIC / BLACK COSMIC SASSY SOUL SISTERS SANGIN THIER @$$'s OFF WAY AHEAD OF THIER TIME !!! R I P SARAH DASH
Scence their first Soul hit in 1961.( I sold my heart to the junk man) To this day I always thought they're the best female R&B ,soul group ever!!!
Love them all but Miss Sara dash that voice is nothing short of magnificent should have lead on more of the Nona hendrix composition
My favorite album ever!
MY GOD, THIS IS PERFECT, SO BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!
The musical trinity of voice
4:13 , love when she holds that note
Music is Love always Patti Labelle
R.I.P. SARAH
Pure space-soul... I have been waiting years and years for the video of "Labelle Live at The Met" I remember seeing it when I was a kid...PLEASE RELEASE IT !!!!
There is no video of that show.
Noodleydoo Is their anymore footage of Labelle?
Absolutely there is
@@Noodleydoo They were on the Mike Douglas Show and a Bill Cosby Show variety show. I've never seen those clips.
This arrangement is superior to the record 😆
If you can find 3 women singing a song better than these here three...PLEASE, let me know! Powerful.
I can't think of three in the sixties there was four the Sweet Inspirations Cissy Houston group but I don't think they could top this
Soul sistahs
0:01 to 1:02 WORDS JUST CANNOT EXPRESS! PRAISE YOU FOR THIS UPLOAD WHICH WAS SNATCHED FROM MY EAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO!
This is just pure magic!!! Vocally!!!!
Simply effortless and amazing! You can not underestimate how well they harmonized as a group. It also is evident that they actually enjoyed singing with each other. No shade Ms. Ross.
Best track on the LP.
steve hewitt don’t forget about the title track Chameleon. Also Gypsy Moths.
I definitely thought it superior to Isn't It A Shame. A good tune in its own right but this one was my favorite composition by Nona Hondryx.
what fabulous group Labelle never did such extraordinary vocals come together and blend as one love those girls jamie
I've been wanting to see live Chameleon stuff for ages. Thanks so much for this treasure!
Yes! Yes!Yes!
SARAH BETTER GIVE US THAT TOP NOTEE

Goodness gracious.
