Now, Diana knew better than to hand the mic to Patti. That's like giving a crackhead crack. Patti will sing you up the street, around the corner, and back again. Patti chewed this song up and spit it back out.
Dhon`el The Author The best part of the night, was when she sang, you will never walk alone!! Normally the choir leads to the singer, but that day Patti led the choir!!!
Patti never got the credit she deserved back then but she is receiving all of that credit and glory now. Life doesn’t forget about the greatest, but sometimes the times have to catch up to recognize.
be careful what you ask for??? AS if. She screamed out the lyrics on a song that Foreigner produced in a soft, moody tone not to be belted out like some banshee on crack. Yes, you are right - be careful what you ask for.
@@jmc305jc I don’t control the audience just like you don’t It’s a matter of taste for each individual - and everyone has a right to have and make an opinion 🤘
@@terryallen7853 True, but I think it was also sharing the stage with so many other legends, many of whom got their humble beginnings on that very stage at the Apollo. I have a feeling he was thinking of how far they all had come. I'd be crying too. :)
@@mariahardy1201 She needed to have taken time to snatch that awful wig off her head and dress more eloquent. The only thing she snatched was a bad rendition of Foreigner's hit song "I want to know what love it." which was sung in a low, soft tone as it's intended for one to be thankful - not to be belted out like some bad gospel revival.
She was horrid... I saw recently where she was rolling on the ground at a recent concert. It's like fake emotion that is simply performative not coming from a place of real despair...
I come back this video a lot. They’re both strong in different ways. Patti is the thunder, Diana is the wind. Diana’s tone, precision, and pitch can’t be beat. Patti’s growl, strength, and head voice can’t be beat. Two different forces and masters at their craft.
People make such a big deal of Patti showing up Diana here, but there’s no sense at all that Diana was bothered. She actually looks to be enjoying Patti’s performance. Truth is that Diana’s performance is quite effective. Her delicate treatment feels introspective, like a woman who’s almost lost hope that she might find love. Patti’s is the declaration of a woman who is intent on finding love. Most humans will experience the desperation Diana communicates, and hopefully they will also feel the empowerment that Patti personifies. Very different takes, both equally valuable. Just depends on what the listener needs at any given time. There’s no denying the rare power Patti possesses, and yet it’s undeniable that few singers possess an ability to emotional inhabit a lyric the way Ross does. Patti can blow you away like being on a rollercoaster ride that thrills you, but she doesn’t invite you in. Diana can’t blow you away, but she can take your heart on an intimate, emotional journey. Enjoy them both.
If this is the same show I remember as a teen, she did it because she literally invaded Adam Ants performance which is a huge musician faux pas. At the end Patti handed her a** back to her. You have to be a musician to know just how wrong that was.
I hear you, but Patti, OMG Patti can take you anywhere you want to or need to be... The Power and raw emotions can be felt deeply... True they are two different kind of performers but I can't find any way to put them on any kind of equal footing.... Patti is like a heat seeking missile.... Patti will blow the the place to smithereens
Mr Funky I know you meant no harm but can I get through one video without being reminded George Michael is no longer alive I already know I am not that deluded I just do not need to think about it or be reminded 24/7
Diana and Patti are on opposite levels of the spectrum. Diana has a light soft voice, light lyric soprano. Patti is a loud dramatic soprano. The only way their voices could be more opposite is if Diana was a soft bass. Also Diana knew exactly what she was doing giving Patti thay mic.
"The Boss" knew what was up...she knew better than any of us, what you're supposed to do when its time to let The Godmother of Soul, sing...just hand her the mic' and get on out the way. And she did...she wasnt being nasty or shady or mean. Patti reached for the mic...Diana handed it to her, after a little mic' tease..and the rest is history. Lets just be grateful we lived during their respective eras. Diana, live in Central Park, is history. And Patti LaBelle's set at Live Aid, is legendary stuff.
The Bluebellesi chewed the singers up on live performances in the 60's, but they could not get a hit record. Diana made it off hit records & Patti was a hit everytime she hit the stage. There's a difference
Diana's voice, her tone, the agility so heavenly. The quality, it's immaculate. Does volume and high pitch range say the quality is superior? My opinion says no...lol
@@cookie91ize Patti is my favorite vocalist of all time along with Steve Perry and Miss Holiday.I have to disagree because when Gladys,Patti and Dionne sang "Super woman" Gladys held her own and did not let Patti take control and steal the spotlight.😁
I’m an all time Patti fan , no doubt that she’s a beast on stage !! I have to give it to Diana also, that opening part was everything with her calm and angelic tone
to be hosnet i dont like all that yelling; i could tell patti voice crack there too. she screams to much for my taste. is more yelling than singing she does.
Love this!!! Diana in true diva fashion showed up late and didn’t know the song! 😂😂. Then they cut Patti’s Mike!!! Man I wish shows like this where actual artists got up and actually SANG!!!!!
This is really one of Patti's best ever. Because of the background sound, it's difficult to appreciate how good El DeBarge was right afterwards. Kudos to both.
That audience didn’t jump out of their seat until Patti took the mike. 😂 Diana started it and Patti finished it. All of this talk about Patti upstaging Diana has gone on for years. But, you can clearly see Diana calling Patti over to her, handing her the microphone and backing out the way, because she knew Patti was going to bring it home. 😂

@@MrDbroo No! Not better, just different. Patti is clearly not a better singer than Diana Ross. If she were better, her achievements would be better!

They aren't as diverse as Diana Ross. I wonder why?

Then Jesse Jackson (while holding Webster) whispers something in Diana Ross' ear and the next time we see Patti the mic she was holding has been replaced by Webster. They was some DL shady boots. Lol
the editing is so bad, they actually started standing after Patti sung. If you notice when they start standing she is holding Emmanuel Lewis, she was not holding him when singing.
Two different beast delivering what this generation lacks. Diana Ross is royalty with that voice, Patti Labelle is royalty with that voice. Both ignited the crowd at the right time. Music is all the better because of these two power houses amongst many of that period. Real singing right here.
@2:52 Thelma Houston started to backup when Patti starts the climb up on that 5th octave and turned towards her..lol. They artists back then knew their rank on the stage #facts. That is why @2:56 Patti has her back to Diana and the Belting goes on. #phillystandup
Nothing is wrong with this as I have noticed that Diana made a gesture to Patti for her to come closer. So thats what patti did. Im very sad when this incident was made a big issue back then.
Diana said she had to rush over there and looked tired. Her voice sounded hoarse and she didn’t look like she was in the best condition to sing. I just don’t think she felt like it. So she asked for help and Patti obliged.
@@quidddaboss1061 , oh yeah. Back then Patti was accused of upstaging everyone and stealing the spotlight from Diana. Even her hometown newspaper, Philadelphia Inquirer, made a not so nice comment about the finale as well as the Live Aid finale.
Renzo Dayvon that’s crazy because it looked like Diana wanted Patti to sing. She came and changed the whole format or melody of the song for the moment. The band had to accommodate her talent and she got everyone out there seat so for it to be a problem shocked me.
@@philroyce1144 no - that’s just your delusional wishful thinking😝 she is however very good at over singing her lyrics in order to garner attention - established singers don’t need to do that. She’s more known for diabetes and pies these days, than music. 😁
Just another masterpiece from the 80's. Patti was just on another level and is one of my favorite artist!!!! Knowing what love truly is, is loving God, His son Jesus, and His Holy Spirit. God richly blessed me with a beautiful woman 39 years ago. He joined us together in marriage. We are deeper in love now than ever. We so enjoy listening to the 70s & 80s music. Especially this song while out cruising in the exotic speed machine I bought her a few months ago, simply because I love her, respect her, and really like her. Its amazing that she still looks hotter than her car, and I don't mind that kind of problem! She is timeless! On top of that we have 7 adult children and our 5th grandchild due soon. I am the most blessed man alive!!!!!
There was a silent rivalry between Patti and Diana. Diana, I think is bigger star than her but the moment when Patti came in, she blew them all. She really showed what she's made of.
4:25 Stevie was so happy to be with his Motown family at The Apollo. He was crying. That place is special to everybody that was on Motown during 1962-1966
Diana Ross deserved a standing ovation so talented and beautiful. But Patti presence and beautiful voice made the crowd jump up. U got to stand to Patti's heavenly voice and stature
I read somewhere years ago that Patti's impromptu performance here inspired her television special not long afterwards. I think it was the next year. . .
I've only recently seen this I didn't know it existed. I knew Patti could sing but when I heard this Patti has a powerful voice and absolutely flawless. That woman has God given talent. And Debarge sounds freaking awesome
Patti is a force of nature . She made this, when she started singing everybody got up cause a voice like that deserves a standing ovation. El dabarge has a beautiful voice
Actually, if you look at it, Diana did motion for Patti to come over and gave her space to light up the crowd. I'm glad I took the time to watch it again and did more that listen to Ms. Ross and relive Patti in her glory.
And, yes I cried, I mean real tears, GOD IN HEAVEN I WANT TO KNOW WHAT REAL LOVE IS BECAUSE YOU ARE LOVE HOLY WONDERFUL AND AWESOME EVERLASTING ETERNAL LOVE. LOVE HOLINESS, LOVE, ALL BY YOURSELF.
I know Patti tore it up. But Diana's vocal performance on that first verse is pure perfection. Sounds like it could have been her song. And she was apparently a little hoarse or tired.
She actually flew in a little late by jet from a concert she had. It explains the hoarseness (which added a unique texture to her voice- I liked it). I think people have Diana confused. She is a very competent and creative singer. Beautiful tone, distinguishable voice that no one can duplicate. People that try to sound like her can never nail it. It only comes off as clownery.
@@AlkalineInsides Surely does. I imitated her singing and speaking voice a lot around my siblings as a kid. Never can match the quality of her voice, though.
Pattie for the longest is a beast when it comes to vocal ability and sheer output! Pattie vocally in her prime was in her late 40's upwards to 60 yrs, like most of her peers Tina, Aretha, Gladys etc.... if you stop and think today i cannot count on my hand 1 that can blow , show up and show out today in the same comparison or dynamic. Patti is like a thunderstorm, you can feel the rumblings of something before its hits you outright full force. Same with Chakah Khan when I have seen her, before she cane on stage but warming into set it was electrifying. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Only if singers now these days could all sing together like what they did😢
Diana Ross :" Help me somebody"
Patti : " As you wish"

@@quidddaboss1061 , oh yeah. Back then Patti was accused of upstaging everyone and stealing the spotlight from Diana. Even her hometown newspaper, Philadelphia Inquirer, made a not so nice comment about the finale as well as the Live Aid finale.
Renzo Dayvon that’s crazy because it looked like Diana wanted Patti to sing. She came and changed the whole format or melody of the song for the moment. The band had to accommodate her talent and she got everyone out there seat so for it to be a problem shocked me.
It is 2023 and Prince & George Michael are gone 😢
Patti Didn't came To Play with You All... She came To SLAY
She should have slayed earplugs for everyone - tired of all that over belting and screeching just to get attention.
@@juicyfruit4378 Patti cant help it : Her voice is built To oversing ALL The others.
@@philroyce1144 no - that’s just your delusional wishful thinking😝 she is however very good at over singing her lyrics in order to garner attention - established singers don’t need to do that. She’s more known for diabetes and pies these days, than music. 😁
Diana asked for help and Patti obliged. God gave her the gift and she uses it to the fullest. ❤
diana and patti, both my favorite singers
Just another masterpiece from the 80's. Patti was just on another level and is one of my favorite artist!!!!
Knowing what love truly is, is loving God, His son Jesus, and His Holy Spirit.
God richly blessed me with a beautiful woman 39 years ago. He joined us together in marriage. We are deeper in love now than ever.
We so enjoy listening to the 70s & 80s music. Especially this song while out cruising in the exotic speed machine I bought her a few months ago, simply because I love her, respect her, and really like her. Its amazing that she still looks hotter than her car, and I don't mind that kind of problem! She is timeless!
On top of that we have 7 adult children and our 5th grandchild due soon. I am the most blessed man alive!!!!!
Patti stole the show
legends abound
Asking for Patti's help was the best decision Diana ever made in her life 😍
Don't forget Diana also helped herself to one of Patti's singers back in the 60"s
Patti LaBelle....WITH TALENT ON LOAN FROM GOD! Patti LaBelle gives me chills when she sings! What an amazing voice!....Sing it Patti!
I t is a shame that Patti and her group were never as big as they should have been>>> wonder why when yu hear how good and great she is RIGHT NOW!!!!
God has better things to do than worry about Patti Labelle I'm sure.
@@juicyfruit4378 Believe it or not, God can handle it all!
@@USNAVDC I believe that too - however, I don’t think God‘s too preoccupied with Patti Labelle - he’s got bigger things on his plate, I’m sure
@@juicyfruit4378 god doesn’t show favoritism if he can have all his children he handles all the problems, if you have that relationship.
patty is so SO iconic
this is regular internet(diana)....this is internet with power boost(patti) lol
There was a silent rivalry between Patti and Diana. Diana, I think is bigger star than her but the moment when Patti came in, she blew them all. She really showed what she's made of.
The gorgeous George Michael. A great voice, and that beautiful hair I always wished I had!
4:25 Stevie was so happy to be with his Motown family at The Apollo. He was crying.
That place is special to everybody that was on Motown during 1962-1966
Diana Ross deserved a standing ovation so talented and beautiful. But Patti presence and beautiful voice made the crowd jump up. U got to stand to Patti's heavenly voice and stature
They stood for patti
I read somewhere years ago that Patti's impromptu performance here inspired her television special not long afterwards. I think it was the next year. . .
That's true, tv bigwigs were there that night and they thought she was the start of a new generation of "Super Singers" so they gave her a show
Patti Labelle was denied so much back then. But she is not a game. No one up on that stage could touch her.
I've only recently seen this I didn't know it existed. I knew Patti could sing but when I heard this Patti has a powerful voice and absolutely flawless. That woman has God given talent. And Debarge sounds freaking awesome
@Chuck Simpson: It comes from Motown 25.
Reallyyyyy happy time !!!
Who's here for MS. Patti LaBelle in 2020??!!! #nochill 😂
Patti's glissando is iconic.
I think Diana was sorry she moved over, because Patti Labelle SANG!!!!!!!
Patti was untouchable and she still is ❤
Auntie Patti did not come to play. She put that song to bed!!
Patti is a force of nature . She made this, when she started singing everybody got up cause a voice like that deserves a standing ovation. El dabarge has a beautiful voice
Actually, if you look at it, Diana did motion for Patti to come over and gave her space to light up the crowd. I'm glad I took the time to watch it again and did more that listen to Ms. Ross and relive Patti in her glory.
And, yes I cried, I mean real tears, GOD IN HEAVEN I WANT TO KNOW WHAT REAL LOVE IS BECAUSE YOU ARE LOVE HOLY WONDERFUL AND AWESOME EVERLASTING ETERNAL LOVE. LOVE HOLINESS, LOVE, ALL BY YOURSELF.
Man, they all sounded great! Patti and El DeBarge crushing it, Diana Smooth as silk.👌
It's all calm and breezy till Patti open her mouth. Lord have mercy...
Anyway, Emmanuel Lewis singing is so cute here
Damn Patti! Pipes for days!!
I know Patti tore it up. But Diana's vocal performance on that first verse is pure perfection. Sounds like it could have been her song. And she was apparently a little hoarse or tired.
She actually flew in a little late by jet from a concert she had. It explains the hoarseness (which added a unique texture to her voice- I liked it). I think people have Diana confused. She is a very competent and creative singer. Beautiful tone, distinguishable voice that no one can duplicate. People that try to sound like her can never nail it. It only comes off as clownery.
That’s ok Patti was hoarse too and cracked on that, sounds like she needed to cough before she tried all that
@@jak30341 Maybe she did, but it sure does sound good to me.
@@AlkalineInsides Surely does. I imitated her singing and speaking voice a lot around my siblings as a kid. Never can match the quality of her voice, though.
YES! LOVE THEM BOTH BUT DIANA´S TONE IS MAGIC
Patti is literally the best singer to me. Man this was incredible ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saw 2 times great shows meet patti. Labella lovely lady got signed cd
atti LaBelle is a vocal beast- her instrument is just not from this world- so outstanding
Pattie for the longest is a beast when it comes to vocal ability and sheer output! Pattie vocally in her prime was in her late 40's upwards to 60 yrs, like most of her peers Tina, Aretha, Gladys etc.... if you stop and think today i cannot count on my hand 1 that can blow , show up and show out today in the same comparison or dynamic. Patti is like a thunderstorm, you can feel the rumblings of something before its hits you outright full force. Same with Chakah Khan when I have seen her, before she cane on stage but warming into set it was electrifying. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
