@@DARIDURI-d3k Tina Turner is in a totally different class of music. Tina was the queen of Rock & Roll and she has died.

My Daddy always talked about Patti with the Bluebells. She's always been a cut above the rest with her God-given vocals. She has always had it and knew it.
as her old bandmate, Cindy Birdsong said about her "there was NOBODY like Patti on the rock ' roll circuit...because nobody had her range or stage presence. She may not have had all the confidence in herself, like Diana or Aretha had, when they were very young, but you would never have known it...and neither one of them could hold a candle to Pat, standing flat footed and just singing with no micorphone in their hand" (which is what her close friends called Patti)..you dont have to believe the quote if you dont want to...but its in Patti LaBelle's book. And I read her book, twice.
So fascinating to listen to this and then the 1985 version. Sounds like two different songs, yet each version still stunning. Patti's so sickening for that last note omg.
People talking about her "screaming" gets me hot!!! Yes, she has a big, full powerful voice-- so naturally it's loud. But no different than an opera singer-- they rarely use microphones and "cut" the band. Nothing different than what she does-- but she's not a one trick pony. Patti has an absolutely amazing voice, with so much agility! Her softer notes are simply beautiful-- and her control to switch to it and right out if she feels like it is insane.
Atlantic records did them dirty during the Aretha years.I love Aretha but come on now. They say they didn't know want to do them writing wise . I don't buy it
Patti is an American treasure! I am a huge fan of hers, and I’ve seen her countless times over the years! Each time I’ve seen her she gave her audience her all! I don’t know how she does it! Her voice always amazes me and her renditions of standards are unique! I truly love this woman!
1,000 views. You gotta be kidding me. I was already crying, bc of the music, when I saw the number, but now I'm really crying out loud. For humanity :-)
@@kellyb3540I just watched Babs in funny girl for the first time and I was impressed when really captivated the emotion of each song and she definitely has a voice! You can't compare what high level white singers do vs a high level African American singer in particular.
I'm here because Rolling Stone just released their 200 best singers list and Beyonce was #8 but Patti Labelle wasn't even in the top 40. THIS is singing. THIS is a voice. Beyonce is average at best. They even said dreadful "singer" Bob Dylan was 18. Btw, Patti was just a teenager in this video.
It's a travesty. A teenager with this much power and passion is a rarity. Only aretha and jennifer holliday had this much power and passion as teen singers.
The song can be interpreted in a secular or spiritual way ..either way, its a beautiful song and the way she ended it from 2:16 - 2:45 is just beautiful. Makes me cry!
Actually, this was June 28, 1965. Murray the "K"'s "It's What's Happening, Baby!" CBS Special. Had to do some deep research. The show was live from Brooklyn Fox Theatre, featuring Mary Wells, The Supremes, Tom Jones, Bill Cosby, The Drifters, The Miracles, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Temptations, etc...
@@dwaynewardell8024 June 28, 1965, thanks. I just saw that TV Special ("It's What's Happening, Baby!") last night (8/14/21) on PBS during their fundraising drive, and it was great. Murray The "K" was a great host. This was the clip they showed of Patti LaBelle & Her Bluebelles. Some of the other performers were: Herman's Hermits "Mrs Brown...." Chuck Jackson "l Don't Want To Cry" Johnny Rivers "Seventh Son" The Ronettes "Be My Baby" and Martha & The Vandellas.
@@theheff66 not so sure that it was June 28th, 1965. That was the date of the PBS special but it was not all live (don’t know if any of it was live). Most of the clips were from previous shows so this could have been from an earlier Murray the K Christmas or Easter show held at the Fox. Doesn’t really matter as they were unbelievable in person. I went to almost every one of his shows and the Bluebelles were in several of them. They sound good in this video but they killed this song every time they appeared live. The audience went absolutely crazy...especially near the end.
@@carolanestanley4030I must have seen them at the Brooklyn fox or the Brooklyn paramount at least 6 times. They usually got to sing 2 songs and you just reminded me that it was you’ll never walk alone and Danny boy. I remember that they both ended with that crazy high note that made the audience jump up in approval.
This should have more views than what it has are you kidding me.when she expires it will have more views it will probably go National on TV to show who the labelles are
You can hear her though out the whole song Because cindy can sing a high pitch range but she can't make it louder than the other so voice that lower is cindy
@@Made.For.a.While24 ok thanks. Ive heard her do power notes closely matching Patti before so I became skeptical of parts I thought Patti or Sarah did some high notes now. I know Sarah has/had a strong voice
In the middle lower altoSoprano and Soprano flanking Cindy Birdsong bleeding the harmony. Motown kept her(Mary Wilson) microphone volume lower than the lead. They always sounded like screeching harpies painfully straining only sang with missRoss -live- on stage all tv appearances were pretaped ad-hoc lead with the Andantes' background also taped. Ross sang over her own voice the girls swayed sashayed and lipsynced. She was shrewdly transplanted to the Supremes we never heard her voice. But on a talkshow she did sing stop in the name of love, live. Became a ucla and motown secretary for suzanne de passe after 197something. Patti never discussed this with miss Ross. Though Cindy began as Florence Ballard best friend on the road shows. Sarah Dash is soaring like cissyHouston here
@@jeawngrat79 ok so it's Sarah's voice we primarily hear powering through? I did see that stop in the name of love performance and she was on a talk show singing to God be the glory. On to God be the glory she really hit a Patti like note with a strong bell ring. After that performance I started questioning who sang what during some of these bluebells performances.
@@jeawngrat79 it's a shame when they lip sync. I hate it because they don't get to develop the voice and evolve the sound of the group. Nona and Sarah didn't and their voice flowered during the Labelle Era. I think same problem with destiny's child. Beyonce sangive while the others didn't leaving Kelly and Michelle with no confidence when they broke up. I think Michelle gained her confidence quickest afterwards going into Gospel while Kelly still not sure what she is doing
@@pchris3437 like if you transported back in time and was at this performance you wouldn't say omg thats Cindy birdsong from the Supremes. It would just be Cindy birdsong of the bluebells
No voices in either 1988-millennium group here unfortunately can approach these vocals... these are pillars upholding a voice 🏢 building. I love who can I run to though.
If he got his hands on Sarah there would be no labelle. The group would have totally fell apart forcing patti to go solo earlier or maybe even ending her carear?
@@nesq4104LaBelle would’ve worked with Nona and Cindy. The backgrounds would’ve just been very Nona heavy. I love Nona’s tone and you have to remember that Nona was the pen of LaBelle…
@@PhillySoulable Nona was the one of the group, agreed, but Sarah was the glue. Patti and Nona were known for butting heads occasionally. Sarah has that calm, loving persona. I don't know Cindy much so I can't speak on her. But Cindy was not filling Sarah's shoes with those notes. Some of the best Labelle live moments is when Sarah comes in with that powerful soprano. I'm not sure if Cindy could do that. I know Cindy can hit a few notes like Patti though. I think LaBelle would have never happened if Cindy stayed or Sarah left. Maybe a whole different vocal group would have emerged or it would have just ended for all. Who knows.
@@PhillySoulable I guess to add on to my point is that Cindy wouldn't have stayed, clearly she abandoned ship without telling her group members, that made Patti upset for decades. So no I don't think she has the persona to allow a LaBelle to form/thrive because she already shown that she was not willing to stick it out with them.
I love cindy so much but her vocals wasn't that powerful with both Group in this video Cindy voice is lower than the other she had a high pitch range but couldn't belt it out like patti or Flo and she knew that it made her feel insecure to where she didn't want to sing lead but her vocals where perfect even though she couldn't belt it out
Interesting analysis. It is too bad that Cindy didn't have more confidence in terms of her singing, because she could have easily taken over the lead spot in The Supremes when Diana Ross left in 1970. Cindy was no Jean Terrell for sure, but for the kinds of songs The Supremes were doing in the 70s, Cindy would have been fine singing lead. Her voice was close enough in range to Diana's to not be a major departure from what fans of the group were used to. I watched Cindy's solo show from the 80s, and my one caveat is that she would have needed to relax her pronunciations a bit to sound a little less proper. But singing behind a singer as stellar as Patti LaBelle and then joining The Supremes with a bunch of hoopla and scrutiny she didn't ask for, I can see why Cindy didn't have the confidence to assert herself.
We are lucky to have Patti LaBelle today, giving her flowers as she's been in the game over 60 years and still singing.
YES!!! Patti is such a gift. She's been in the music business and RELEVANT, for longer than some people live. That's my baby. 💜💜

I'm 69 I had to share this with my baby..she's 39. I saw LeBellle in concert in the 70'd Patti Nona and Sarah
Possibly the most beautiful pronunciation of be I've heard
Hands down

Sarah Dash on that top note.
Yes Lord! You better sing Sarah Dash!

I still think that was Cindy because it was sure her in Down the Isle
She's 21 here. Imagine got to hear her voice live at that time.
Her voice is captivating, such a refined sound for a 20 year old Patricia Holte Aka Patti LaBelle.
Sarah truly was a Beast also Hitting those notes.RIP.
Patti LaBelle is totally awesome! She can blow the roof off the place or sing the
softest note that just floats on top of everything.
factz
I like her execution style to that of the great Monseratt Caballe… A DIVA in every sense of the word with PRISTINE vocal ability.
As much as I love Diana Ross & the Supremes, they could never!
They could never even after stealing a bluebell 😆
apples and oranges!
One was a singing group and the other is a sangin' group. This was why patti and the girls weren't invited to event in the 60"s.

Right. I kinda gets under my skin too. Just because they don't like a belter. That's their loss. @@skepchica
Currently in the middle of reading one of her books in tears cause I see so much of myself in her story🔥🥹
When they ask me who is the greatest singer of all times, no question it’s Patti ❤
Ridiculous.. She is average at best, never on Aretha's celestial level, or Whitney's.
Just wow- the ending has to be one of my favorites now
Breath control is amazing 🔥❤️
R.I.P. Sarah Dash 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The way she felt back, Knowing they we're better then who came 4

Effortlessly ❤🎉❤🎉
Magnificent, before she allowed all her vocal mannerisms to overwhelm that great talent.
Look how far pattie is from the mic real singers know thats power 🎉🎉🎉
Some people are just born to sing.
My goodness. She was IMPECCABLE in this style. So effortless.
We have this on our 1950's jukebox!! It's incredible perfection!!
I can only imagine how it was to witness this performance live ❤

Ronnie Spector said all the other groups hated going on after this song, when Patti and the ladies hit that high note at the end!
Makes me cry so much.
Going to see Patti at the Hollywood Bowl tonight- can't wait!
Remembering this 60ty year old iconic masterpiece !
