Thumbs up if you are still listening to this song, cause Aretha is the Queen of Soul and Pattie is the Goddess of soul ,they voice is still on fire .RIP
In the mid 1990s in Buffalo, I saw her live. Despite a massive snowstorm that shut down the entire city,s he had it announced that she would be at the downtown theater at 8pm--on TV and radio. We get there, about 200 of us who lived close enough within the city to take the tram/train and when she came on stage an saw us in our number ticketed seats she made us all come forward, from balconies and back rows to fill up the first 10 rows in the 1000 seater auditorium and gave an intimate concert of amazing ability to us. She took off her makeup, took pictures, gave away her shoes and then because she knew we'd made an effort---she put down the mic and showed us what singing was---she did this 8 octave ladder thing where she would sing a note and then graduate it up and down and then to another level but couldn't use the mic with it because it would hurt our ears. I have never seen anything from a human being as remarkable. (The closest is when I saw Prince do this on a guitar---between 20-30 different songs switching on notes to differing songs but the same note within each song.) Her musicality, timing, pitch control and just fun and play (like Prince's) has made her something that I as a teenager to now an adult could deeply appreciate.
Wow! What an amazing story...make sure you pass that on to your kids and grand kids. I would have just cried to be in her presence. Thank you for sharing.
That's the epitome of "Grand Entrance"! That's also a staple of hers where you hear her before you see her. Look at the tributes to Smokey Robinson and Barry White. Those are just a couple of televised performances, but she still does that to this day at her concerts.
I never get tired of listening to Patti's music because she never sings a song exactly the same. There is always some variation so you are usually pleasantly suprised
They broke the mold when Patti came along. She had it all and still does. No one wanted to follow her act on stage. She was the closer. Range, Power, stage presence, Graciousness and Greatness. WOW WOW WOW.
My wife and I would listen in wonderment at Patti's beautiful voice as we lay in bed in the late evenings, sadly my beautiful darling wife passed away à few days ago and I'm devastated, now I listen to Patti alone, which makes her voice touch my soul even more.
DR. PATTI LABELLE IS ONE OF THE BEST DIVAS IN LIFE'S HISTORY OF VOCALS, TALENT, PERFORMANCE STYLES & IMPROMPTUS!!!! THE WORLD LOVE'S U DR PATTI LABELLE!!!
That's right! Give folks they flowers while they are still here on Earth to enjoy them. Don't wait until they are dead and gone to show them how much they are loved!
You know you're the ultimate diva when you can carry all those flowers and gifts in one arm and still blow while you're exiting the stage...LONG LIVE THE QUEEN ! ***********************
There are so many artist in this world and they all have a job to do because being blessed is not always an easy task. Everyone thinks of you as perfect or better than or not better than. When one is on the receiving side of the gift one should just enjoy the moment and count themselves blessed to be able to hear such greatness. Patti is Patti and that is good enough for me.
Love this lady's voice She makes you believe and feel so deeply that whatever your pain is or was, listen to her, let her soothe your troubled mind..You've got the gift Patti and thank you for sharing it .......❤❤❤❤❤
I was in love with Aretha years before I had any clue who Patti was. But , MY GOD! How can there be any comparison? Aretha has had her share of hits and special moments, but EVERY time Patti opens her mouth, it's magical.
Patti Labelle is the greatest female vocalist of all time. She is in a musical catorgory all her own. No one can or ever will be able to match her. Not Celin, Not Mariah or any one. She is to soul what Micheal Jackson is to Pop. As entertainers. They are the Greatest.
I had the unbelievable opportunity to chauffer Patti when she was giving a concert in Rochester, NY. She was very tired from being on the road for I have no idea how many days. Still she was a woman of grace and class. When we arrived at the concert hall, she was helped up to the stage door. After going inside and she was introduced, she was suddenly filled more energy than I have ever witnessed before. She delivered an amazing concert for over an hour and left everyone wanting more. When the show was over, she was helped back into the limousine and nearly collapsed, having given all that she had to those who came to hear her sing. I drove many celebrities and bands around in that limousine. Not one of them had the abilities of Patti Labelle. Though I did not have the opportunity to be introduced to her, I will forever remember her ability to give all of her heart and soul to her audience. I am in awe and have drawn upon that night when I have felt that there was nothing left inside me and no way to go on. Thank you Patti for all you gave us that night.
The best female Singer on this earth......... Luv this girl she can sing, she looks amazing and you can feel the LOVE she has for us ....... LUV u patti.... thanks for posting this vid ....
That little gesture of her throwing away the microphone stand, or her shoes, whatever it may be, is very powerful. She's a performer and her voice is nothing but power and emotion. Love Patti.
This woman is over 60 and still got it. I don't know of any other entertainer her age that looks like I want to when I grow up (lol) and can sing like that! Go head on Ms. Patti!!
She once came for a 1 night only here in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦... My jaw bone became permanently gobsmacked during that night.. A performer of note.. MS Labelle takes her craft seriously ❤❤❤
Ms. LaBelle we are a group of concert goers! We went to a concert you had on your birthday. You still got it Must be in your cooking because I enjoy that show. We love with all hearts❣️❣️❣️💯💯💯😇😇😇😇
Thank you my wonderful SON. It was you who introduced me outside of the Wizard of Oz Dorothy singing this song. Patty Labelle phenomenal tremendous all the time. Thank you Madame LaBell.
HAPPY 79th BIRTHYEAR belatedly (May 24, 2023) TO our INTERNATIONALLY OUTSTANDING GODMOTHER of SOUL, MISS PATTI LABELLE, who had a challenging birthday this year especially with the passing of Sister Rock Legend Tina on the exact same day! 😮 Nonetheless, despite the challenges of life that befall you & us each day, MISS MUSICAL DYNAMITE FASHION ICON PATTI LABELLE THANK YOU for INSPIRING us ALWAYS to WHOLISTICALLY ASPIRE for EXCELLENCE throughout LIFE'S JOURNEY!!!😢 We LOVE ❤U MAMA P!🎉
My Auntie was so mad at me every time she went to look for taking Ms Patty album I alway❤❤s had it on my record player 😅😅😅😅 thanks for giving me my friend Patty
My family from Philly last night called. They'll be here soon. Some I hadn't seen in 40 yrs. I'm just over the 🌈. My cousin that lives in NY is also coming. My 🌈. Just feel great about it🎯🎯🎯🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐💐💐💐💐
There have been so many moments in my life that I have turned to Patti's live version of this song. It has deep thematic undertones that only Patti can bring to the surface. She is a great storyteller and in my opinion, far too underrepresented among the legends of our time.
I can remember Ms. Pattie from the 70's. Her Music and God's gift to her still resonates...AT&T keeps telling me my password is wrong and therefore I cannot save to my phone either...
I RECALL SINGING THIS SONG TO MY GRAND DAUGHTER KAITLIN A. JAMES SHE WAS 1YEAR OLD...SHES IS 5 NOW PEOPLE IN THE CLINIC WOULD STOP TO HEAR ME SING TO HER
My sister took me to see Patti on Broadway for my Birthday...Best present ever
Thumbs up if you are still listening to this song, cause Aretha is the Queen of Soul and Pattie is the Goddess of soul ,they voice is still on fire .RIP
No Patti is The Godmother of soul 😂
Yessuh! 65 years old now w nothing but grace....looking for 65 more great years. Forever in love.
I don’t care what anybody says patti is the best singer of all time
Damn right‼
Her voice and singing can make dead people alive again.
If you Ever See Pattti in person YOU WILL NEVER FOEGET IT
My daughter is fighting cancer and loves this song!!
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, the chemo is worse than the desease. 😢.
I love the song too and am also fighting cancer. Believe me we are more valuable to God than that tiny weeny bird! Jesus died for humans ❤

That’s Patti!!! She loves & APPRECIATES her fans.💯💯❤️
Wow what an amazing story that needs to be told love love it
Saw her do this in Atlantic City - she is absolutely amazing
What a wonderful story!!! And all the reasons Prince adored & revered Ms Patti LaBelle!!!💖💜💖💜
I love how she starts off extra as hell. Like she's not even on the stage yet and she's already singing her face off.
That's the epitome of "Grand Entrance"! That's also a staple of hers where you hear her before you see her. Look at the tributes to Smokey Robinson and Barry White. Those are just a couple of televised performances, but she still does that to this day at her concerts.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes, I love me some Patti LaBelle!!!!!
I have seen her sing her way from the lobby to the stage
This is the BEST performance ever of this song, Over the Rainbow. Her background singers did an EXCELLENT performance as well!
Every wig was snatched that night. Every strandttt of hair.
Lol. Not every strandtttt...I am in need of oxygen with that comment.
Periodttt
Packing up her gifts AND STILL KILLING THE MIC. .....Only Mrs. Pattie !!
Still Chills! in 2024!!
I never get tired of listening to Patti's music because she never sings a song exactly the same. There is always some variation so you are usually pleasantly suprised
If Aretha's the Queen of Soul, Patti's the Goddess of Soul.
I so agree...
No the empress of soul
India Jones That's Gladys Knight
And Nina Simone IS The High Priestess of Soul.
the true is she is the godmother of soul
Watching her is like a fireworks show. Just when you think the excitement is over, bam!!!! more explosions. I love Patti.
Yeah right! She is so amazing!!
I. Totally AGREE
Yassss
Couldn't think of a more apt description
👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Patti was in her late 50s here and her voice was still pure fire, belting upper 5th octave notes. What exceptional an vocalist
Late 50s was not old. Whats remarkable is her still doing this at 70
you're so right, I saw her 2 weeks ago now in 2018 and she was belting
so true she had/has such a nice body for her age
She was 51 years old ... I know I saw this show both May 43
@@COMPACTTVHD 55 is not very aged.
They broke the mold when Patti came along. She had it all and still does. No one wanted to follow her act on stage. She was the closer. Range, Power, stage presence, Graciousness and Greatness. WOW WOW WOW.
I'm from Patti's hometown...PHILLY....HER HOME CH
Philly in the house.,🌹💙🌹
My wife and I would listen in wonderment at Patti's beautiful voice as we lay in bed in the late evenings, sadly my beautiful darling wife passed away à few days ago and I'm devastated, now I listen to Patti alone, which makes her voice touch my soul even more.
I am so sorry for your loss my condolences to you and your family always remember she's over the rainbow looking down at you..❤🎉😊
PATTI OWNS THE SONG EACH AND EVERY STEP OF THE WAY !
Rene Z does n 2019.
DR. PATTI LABELLE IS ONE OF THE BEST DIVAS IN LIFE'S HISTORY OF VOCALS, TALENT, PERFORMANCE STYLES & IMPROMPTUS!!!! THE WORLD LOVE'S U DR PATTI LABELLE!!!
That's right! Give folks they flowers while they are still here on Earth to enjoy them. Don't wait until they are dead and gone to show them how much they are loved!

I'm not being biased just because Patti's a Philly girl. She is by far one of the most amazing voices EVER to hit a stage
She had a store on Walnut St, downtown. She came out, I said "hello Miss Patti." She said, "Hi Sweetheart." I was good. ❤🔥
The best period....ain’t nobody coming even close to Ms.Patti
This new generation can barely even hold a note
@@shortyt9060 That's some Real Shit
Love this lady's voice
She makes you believe and feel so deeply that whatever your pain is or was, listen to her, let her soothe your troubled mind..You've got the gift Patti and thank you for sharing it .......❤❤❤❤❤
The way she sings this song gives me Chills…
nobody I mean nobody yet to sing this song like mama patti
Zevil Gehannivani You got that right. Nobody comes close to Patti.
Try Katrina Velarde version folks
Try to search katrina velarde latest cover of the song. :)
Try this: ua-cam.com/video/zJ5ssXVTLP8/v-deo.html
Hope you you like her. 😀
Lee Grant dazrite🤗🤗👏🏾
Seeing Patti Labelle live is a religious experience tbh. You leave feeling like your soul was cleansed.
EATeezey it’s called Love ❤️
This is true
Seen Patti 6 times
I've seen her 9 times
Great comment!!!
This IS the queen! I don't care what anyone says.
I was in love with Aretha years before I had any clue who Patti was. But , MY GOD! How can there be any comparison? Aretha has had her share of hits and special moments, but EVERY time Patti opens her mouth, it's magical.
Nobody's ever better thanyou3
Every time.
Had her share of hits?! Don't piss on a legitimate icon to lift another singer up, even Patti says Aretha is the best singer in the world
@@popland1977 We like ReRe but those Patti notes tho'............. 🎶👏🎤👏 Girrrla!............ 🎼 "Let's keep it real".......... 🎼 "So real" 🤭
Thank you...THANK YOU...AINT NOBODY LIKE PATTI... No disrespect.
I had the honor, and I will say the honor of seeing Patti in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She literally took the roof off. There is only one Patti.
Patti Labelle is the greatest female vocalist of all time. She is in a musical catorgory all her own. No one can or ever will be able to match her. Not Celin, Not Mariah or any one. She is to soul what Micheal Jackson is to Pop. As entertainers. They are the Greatest.
DANG! Nobody can break it down like Patti Labelle
This kind of music is so much missing from the world today
Thank God for videos
I love to see when Patti walks away from the mic and you can STILL hear her singing like she right in front of you!!!!!!
Every single time she gets on stage she forgets she's human... Her live performances can't even be compared.
Many artists have sung this song but nobody can sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow like Queen Patti. they don't come close.
I like the Cimmaron reggae version
Leona Lewis version is amazing too.
Patti LaBelle is magnificent! There is only one Patti LaBelle! Just Awesome performance! Thank you for sending this song to me! God Bless You!
YESSSSS MS PATTI!! She's also got some of the best backup sangers in the business.
Can’t say we ain’t give patti her flowers!!! Lol and baby girl took every last one of them!!!
OMG! AMAZING. The best version of this sing... Patti you make me cry all the time you sing :'|
Patti take it slow.......Outstanding!
The BEST version!!
me too :') Love this so much! *tears... right to my soul...
Agreed
Me, too, ALWAYS!
I can never hear her sing this and not cry
Facts 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
Patti got "gymnastic vocal chords". She can sing anything and make it sound passionate, dramatic and convincingly real.
Ms Labelle has me in a chokehold. Where has she been my whole life?!?!?!
I had the unbelievable opportunity to chauffer Patti when she was giving a concert in Rochester, NY. She was very tired from being on the road for I have no idea how many days. Still she was a woman of grace and class. When we arrived at the concert hall, she was helped up to the stage door.

The Queen of pipes.Patti will blow you out if this world 🌎 you will be somewhere over a rainbow forreal 😢
Her instrument is like no other! Love me some Patti!
No one can sing this SONG better than Mz. Labelle, No one can.
I had the wonderful honor of being present when Ms. LaBelle received her honorary Doctorate from the University of North Texas.
OMG !!! why i'm crying ...................... she's so great !!!! :'(
gas?
When Patti sings this song, it reaches my soul!!
I've heard this a million times and I STILL get chills!!! yes gawd!!!
That little gesture of her throwing away the microphone stand, or her shoes, whatever it may be, is very powerful. She's a performer and her voice is nothing but power and emotion. Love Patti.
Raises my frequency and there is love and hope for all we can get over the rainbow. Keep flying with much love Thank you Paiii
I hope to meet Patti over the Rainbow when time comes
This woman is over 60 and still got it. I don't know of any other entertainer her age that looks like I want to when I grow up (lol) and can sing like that! Go head on Ms. Patti!!

I was watching the Wizard of Oz earlier, and I just had to hear this song the way I love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Patti sings like a bird 🐤 those pipes of hers ain't no joke. One of my favorite singers.
Every time I hear this, it's brings a tear to my eye, to me the greatest woman singer in the world, no one comes close

My Auntie was so mad at me every time she went to look for taking Ms Patty album I alway❤❤s had it on my record player 😅😅😅😅 thanks for giving me my friend Patty
What's more amazing is she sang like this at the end of a 1.5hr set!
Oh and those backup singers SLAYED!
Nooooobody can sing this song like Miss Patti Labelle. Patti owns the song
She doesn't sing The song. The Powerhouse Queen Patti can sang y'all.
I love me some Patti LaBelle! And she's so real like she cracks me up with some of her Patti-isms! Oh my goodness I LIVE FOR MISS PATTI!!!!
Who needs church when you can listen to Patti belt this music out? She get me so high.
Can we talk about the dress!!!!!! She's WEARING THAT DRESS!!!!!!!!!
She is by far the best singer in the world!
This is the best version of Some where over the rainbow ever it brings tears to my eyes...........
This,folks,is the true definition of powerhouse vocals
My family from Philly last night called. They'll be here soon. Some I hadn't seen in 40 yrs. I'm just over the 🌈. My cousin that lives in NY is also coming. My 🌈. Just feel great about it🎯🎯🎯🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐💐💐💐💐
Her voice just makes everything better. I love how she carries all the flowers/gifts off stage. Clearly she's used to getting many! 😁
O, man....! What a night...so much LOVE in that room. Patti never ceases to amaze!
Miss Patti truly made it her own !
I absolutely love how each live performance of this song is unique in and of itself. Ms. Labelle is THE QUEEN
At @ 2:36 she unleashes one of the most powerful vocals of any female singer.
KEENAN JORDAN Never heard anything like it.!
bitch made her own "echo" on her vocals. Insane! never seen it done in real life.
I thought that was the background singer?
Leroy Smith stop it!that is most definitely patti!
Legend!
Birds of Paradise were given. Quite appropriate. She's a gem!
No one! No one! Does it like Ms Patty
She was given this powerful and inspirational voice from God. He only gives the best when he does as a child of God to touch others.Keep praising God.
I was watering my grass and saw the most beautiful rainbow.....
It really made me smile😁😍😏
She is a greatest singer who stayed true too herself. She deserved Grammys. A true entertainer and gifted chosen person 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
There have been so many moments in my life that I have turned to Patti's live version of this song. It has deep thematic undertones that only Patti can bring to the surface. She is a great storyteller and in my opinion, far too underrepresented among the legends of our time.
I can remember Ms. Pattie from the 70's. Her Music and God's gift to her still resonates...AT&T keeps telling me my password is wrong and therefore I cannot save to my phone either...
Nearly burst out crying!
Simply the Best , I Love you Patti Labelle 💙💜💚🙏 from Bay Harbor Island’s 🌴 Florida ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🙏 🇮🇹
This woman's voice got POWER Y'all
