Patti killed this....my favorite part of the song is towards the end when she's hitting them NOTES and giving us VO-CALS!!! SWV's Coko BLOWS this song DOWN too, it's worth a listen.
Don’t forget Keke Wyatt. She can’t hit a stage without performing this cover. All three of them tore this song up made you question who the original song belong to 🤣🤣🤣
One of Patti's best, and one of my favorite of hers! Fantastic lyrics, melody, and insane vocals by her on this one -- the a-capella portion at 4 minutes in makes the entire song: "If . . . If I love you, yes . . . You don't know . . . I said you don't know how much I need you, sugar" The song is 🔥and the Empress reaction is 🏆.
This is the music and love that the young people of today are missing and missing this type of music and love is why the young men and young ladies don’t respect one another
This is a true classic from Patti Labelle! I have two favorite parts, at 4:35 when she really opens up and how she sings the words starting at 5:15! Her vocal is so awesome!
...Patti, 'bout to EAT!?? ...ha-HAA!! (4:51) ***PATTI LaBELLE TRIVIA TIME!!*** ...A LOT, on this one...If only YOU knew...... - Patti was dumped by her longtime label (Epic) in 1980 after this dismal failure of her "Release" LP; She signed with Philadelphia International for a (4) Album deal...follow me, it gets tricky here...She releases her 1st Album in 1981, "The Spirits In It".....the Album flops... - ...Then, Patti (to make ends meet), tours, and (Thanks to the inspiration of Phyllis Hyman in "Sophisticated Ladies"), takes a role on the Broadway Play, "Your Arms Are Too Short To Box With God", where she was RIPPIN' UP the (mostly Black) audiences... - She gets nominated for a Grammy for adding vocals to a Grover Washington Jr tune in 1982 / 1983, and is wooed with a new record deal (w/ MCA)... BUT!! ...She can get OUT of her contract with Philly Int., with a TWO album deal, if she lets THEM have the masters of any unfinished tracks, recorded with them.....She agrees... ...SO, PI Records takes the unfinished, unreleased tracks, and scoop up an Album, called "I'm In Love Again"....which has "If Only You Knew" on it....ba-FUCKIN'-BOOOOOM!! ...R&B Radio stations goes NUTS, Quiet Storm Radio plays the livin' DAYLIGHTS out of it, and Patti gets her FIRST #1 (Solo) R&B hit, early 1984! - ...Then, it doesn't stop; "Love You, Need You, Want You" (aka Kelly Rowland's "Dilemma") (Top 10 R&B), "Love Has Finally Come (with Bobby Womack)" (Top 5 R&B)...and, then to "introduce" Patti on her new label (MCA), She's asked to sing 2 tunes for "Beverly Hills Cop" Soundtrack, that they were going to give to The Pointer Sisters..."Stir It Up", & "New Attitude"....fuggedabout IT!! ....LET'S look at the R&B Top Ten, Jan. 1984, when Patti began her career, ALL over again..... 10. Encore - Cheryl Lynn 9. I'll Let You Slide - Luther Vandross 8. Yah Mo B There - Jame Ingram & Michael McDonald (...yes, Patti's duet partner!) 7. Running With The Night - Lionel Richie 6. Time Will Reveal - DeBarge (...trivia: Patti was at #2 for a MONTH, behind this tune!) 5. Something's On Your Mind - James "D Train" Williams 4. Body Talk - The Deele 3. Let The Music Play -Shannon 2. Joanna - Kool & The Gang 1. ***If You Only Knew*** - Patti Labelle (1st week of 4 weeks)
Come through with that info. The title track is 🔥too. The Spirit's In It was a sleeper with Here You Come Again, Over The Rainbow, Love Lives and Boats Against The Current.
@@darnell49 "...Come through with that info. ...." ...I almost PASSED OUT from giving that info! ...ha-HAAA!! ...Thanks for reading it, I had to tell SOMEBODY....
My favorite part is towards the end when she started slowly elevating her voice and for some reason I can see you liked it too because you couldn’t even pause it to comment on it lol
I didn't think Patti could ever cover anything, but SWV did this song. They actually got nominated for a Grammy. As much as I love SWV, when I saw them perform it I thought s$it. They cain't do that. I was worried, but they did a great job. Please react to it. Thx

My all-time favorite of any of Patti's songs. Makes my eyes water sometimes. Oh the memories.
