Me. This played yesterday at my friend's burial as a white dove was released by the funeral home director and her little granddaughter. 51 years of friendship. ❤
Please never take this down. The amount of times I have found myself coming back to this video over the years when I feel down or in need of a pick-me-up... too many to count.
As a professional musician, I don't believe that Stephanie Mills has ever received the praise for her talent and pre-imminence as one the greatest song stylists of her generation. Many years ago (too many, I'm afraid!), I remember seeing her perform live as Dorothy in the original Broadway version of "The Wiz." I have never forgotten that performance. Every, single time I hear this beautiful and moving tune, I cry... for happy. God bless you Stephanie Mills, and thanks for the memories. :)
She didn't have music industry's definition of "THE LOOK"! Talent, unfortunately, isn't the basic of the Business"! Most talented people never make it. They aren't part of " the look"!
I saw her in The Wiz too, in 1975 or 1976, I think. (I was a kid.) She nearly blew out the PA system! I know she balks at doing an episode of Unsung, but can we please get a little something in the way of a documentary?
I can barely wrap my head around the performance. No other live performance comes close. She is magical, a gift to us all. We will likely never see anything like this again. A live performer Running, Meeting Greeting, Sitting., shaking hands ALL while not missing a note? No disrespect I've never seen Beyonce, Tina, Patti, Chaka etc. Do anything like this. DROP THE MIKE STEPHANIE. You will forever own this moment.
Well who's the best ?? Mike vs Prince JB vs Sly family stone Rick James vs stevie wonder Glas Night vs Bell Step. Mills very Whitney H. Cameo vs Lakeside FUNKstien George vs Bootsy No winners just great music with that FUNK

Stephanie with her fine self, all the while sanging, walked, jogged, ran across the stage, left the stage on both ends, meet and greet with audience, 2 curtsy bows and kissed the host in the mouth...whew! I need a cigarette (and I don't smoke)
The fact that she was moving around and able to sustain that note shows how much of a gifted vocalist she truly was. This woman put her soul into this performance and left it there. If only I could've seen her in her prime perform Home.
Well maybe not the hits but the voice is still there. Even after more then 25 years have past she still can slay this song and no key change. 2017 look at other post
such a gifted singer she doesn't need auto tunes or lip syncing on stages just a blessed female vocalist of all times now that's true Diva that needs no introduction !!!!!! take notes from a soulful singer of all times
SHE SET THE BAR SO SO HIGH THAT ONLY FEW CAN CAPTIVATE AN AUDIENCE AND BRING THE ROOF DOWN THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVER TAKE A GOOD LOOK THIS IS WHAT REAL SINGERS LOOK LIKE GO STEPHANIE MILLS! !!!!!!!!!
You know when you're in the presence of a singer who's voice has been touched by God himself..Chills go all through your whole being when they sing! Like Stephanie Mills.
and here I am an old white guy, and I also tear up each time I hear it--, I watch it more than once a week. I don't know why/how someone grabs the audience like this, she owns everyone watching/listening. She is just too good.
I was a manager and a hotel she stayed at in Detroit and when I saw her, I couldn't believe how tiny she was I'm 5'5" and she was a little bit of a thing. When you have a voice like she does - so powerful and strong - it is an amazing gift from God to share with the world and she certainly has done that! Love her music you don't see performers like this anymore they're a dying breed.
When she sings, "Or would it be better just to let things, let them be...Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!" She broke it down like a fraction and that Apollo crowd went wild with excitement. I know she gave me chills and this lady is no joke when it comes to vocal slayage ;)
This makes me feel the Holy Ghost. I don't care how that sounds, because it's true. I feel so spiritually lifted by her music, her voice is just Godly. She is truly anointed if anybody ever was. God bless her and this song.
It's not crazy at all. This is in my gospel playlist that I start my day with. My dear when you feel it you feel it. Just be glad you're one of the lucky ones that do.
@@jamesb.7151 One of the GREATEST. An absolute Song Bird. No disrespect foe Chaka, Pattie, Anita Baker etc. But she is just Great. Look at here Live at the Apollo Jumping and running around and not missing a beat. Amazing. Today the youganz would say.. Now that's a Bad Bitch !! ( No disrespect intended Stephanie). Like WOW ua-cam.com/video/KPvIwq03NIY/v-deo.html
I am a Kindergarten Teacher and I play music like this to my students around the world, i believe in music and i so believe in teasing the ear to know the differenc in musical notes. I had a student misbehave in his music lesson. I took him back to the class and for punishment I made him sit and listen to music that he would not have heard on a normal day. He held me so tight and said he would not miss his lessons ever again. I guess we all have different forms of managing bad behaviour.
I just listened to Diana's version, very decent actually liked the build up in it, she did her thang. Whitney is Whitney truly gifted talent but they just brought me back the Stephanie's Apollo performance and all I can say is she signed sealed and delivered this song into greatness!!! From 2:55 on She brought down the house and @ 5:00 left you breathless! Love the other versions but Stephanie took you HOME, Church and moved your soul!
I'm a 67 year old BLACK MAN. SITTING HERE with tears streaming down my face. I remember this performance. Over 40 years ago. No one ever sang so soulful like this underrated sister.
I'm listening to this to think about my mother because she loved this song so much when she was living. I'm crying, but finally there tears of joy. Thank you Stephanie
@Dasani605 You said "was" a little woman with a big voice. You should have said IS A LITTLE WOMAN WITH A BIG VOICE.... Right? Specificity when describing Perfection.....
THE BEST live vocal performance EVER. I can watch this over and over again. Makes me laugh, makes me cry. It's inspirational. The outstanding audience energy meeting her flawless talent is GLORIOUS. THANK YOU, Stephanie and Apollo Theatre.
Every time I hear this song, I just like to sit, close my eyes, let the tears flow, and just reminisce about simpler times... #MyfavoriteStephanieMillsjam
...this was THE quintessential performance of "Home" Stephanie's EVER given, in her Adult career, because...She WAS 'Home'; ...This was from 1989's "Showtime At The Apollo" & was her "Home" Album's 2nd single...which, was #1 on the Soul / R&B charts, THAT WEEK! (CONT.) ...Stephanie re-sung the tune, with an 'Adult' mindset, & BLEW that roof OFF!! ...She was loved...she was respected..she was giving... and, she was HOME....'Home', is where Stephanie's heart ALWAYS is...(4:56)....
This little lady brought the house down with her amazing pipes. Stephanie is definitely an iconic legend. You can't find this level of talent nowadays, its almost as if some genetic code related to raw talent was turned off after the 80's.
Yes queen brought me to tears. Remember when my mom would be up early Saturday mornings playing her music while cleaning. How I wish I could go back to those days. My lord
Tears, chills, waved my hands in the air, hugged myself, clapped, blew her a kiss at the end...all this from my desk WATCHING HER ON UA-cam!!! Seen this clip a dozen times over the years and it feels the same each time. Mind officially blown. God bless you, Stephanie :-) Views need to be in the millions for real!!
With due respects to Whitney, Stephanie's "Home" is unparalleled in all of singing history and will remain that way for a very, very, very long time. I've had this version since the 90s and it has remained very close to my heart, so much that I feel I've memorised how she sings it. Her style is unmistakable and recognizable. I fell in love with this song mainly for the way she sang it. I love her other early songs too like "Feel The Fire", both solo and duet version (with the late Teddy Pendergrass?). I hope I could listen to some of the tracks she has recently recorded, if they have been released already. Thanks for this upload and thanks for sharing a great artist on youtube.
My pleasure for the upload and thank you for appreciating her talent. Her new music hasn't been released yet, she's still in the studio but I will keep you posted. Please feel free to follow on facebook for daily updates.
Look at her hold those notes while running back and forth on stage...Perfection, and total professionalism....Totally moved by Stephanie's performance....
The most underrated sista' in R&B. Stephanie was sangin' when most of these so-called upstart R&B singers weren't even born. And she still has the pipes!!!!!
I remember this I was there with my friends in 1989 at 18 years old. And man , man , MAN Stephine Mills can sing her ass off and that's what you call a real REAL talent
Girl u built that house up brick by brick and then u tore it all down wow I've never seen nothing like that ever girl u bad.U demolished that place these young artist need too take notes that's how its done folks.
That song make me think.Wish I could start over as a little girl just to have that feeling back in my life with my mother and father. Theirs nothing like Home
I love u I am crying😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😦😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😦😦😦😦😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😦😭😭😭😭😭😦😦😦😦😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😦😭😭😭😭😦😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭u can sing God bless you
This is one of the best performances I have ever seen. My college choir had to pleasure of singing this song with Ms. Mills a couple years ago and she still got it!!!
Running with the mic, not out of breath killing every rift and more like where are these singers. I’m 41 and glad I grew up on the tail end of this and grew up in a household where this and other music like this was played…true authentic sanger not singer!
OH MY GOD!!! She tore the roof off! What a spectacular performance!. It truly is a God awful that talent like this has gone by the wayside. I will always cherish the artists of my youth. Miss Stephanie, and many others like her will ever be in my thoughts as sheer inspiration!
Edward Jackson That may be true about Ms. Ross, but damn, Stephanie knocked this one out of the park. Even Ms. Ross must be saying "Oh damn.......I can't compete with that!"
What a thrill for me to witness her performing this show stopper as the original Dorothy in The Wiz in the mid 70s in NYC. I got chills hearing it now in 2023 as we all did then.
WHO'S LISTENING IN 2024❤
Me!!
🙋🏾♀️ Me!
Her and Christopher Williams 🎉
i am/ love stephanie !!!

Me too!!
Same here, stunning performance! I wish I’d been there🔥
No dancers needed. No auto tune needed. No fancy lights and minimal backup singers. Just pure.raw.talent!!!
U betta preach that thang, Steph is a BEAST whewww
Totally AGREE! Stephanie’s pipes command your attention! Dancing is a unnecessary distraction! Love her talent! 🎼
thats not her thing but others like gladys has raw talent too with the pips as backup dancers
I got chills watching this! Another great live singer is Regina Belle
@@rhondawoodhouse5508 you realize dancing itself it a talent right?
The way she walks and runs back and forth across that stage holding those big notes! That girl was a beast! Still is!
j gipson '
Stephanie u know u song that song
That was Awesome!!!
Yasss💯👏
j gipson She was in God’s Spirit! Sometimes the Spirit of God just grabs a hold of you like that!
This performance is unreal!! This is a masterclass of live singing!!!
I totally agree
Also agree
Yes!
YASSS!!! She brought the DAMN HOUSE DOWN.... LOL
She's always been a wonderful singer and command respect she's great
The Best Performance in Apollo History Ever!!!!!!!!
I agree.
Rachelle Farrell at the Apollo singing “With Open Arms” is number one and Stephanie is no two, in my opinion. Both sisters can sing their heart out.
@@cynthiawilber1898 Tore it UP effortlessly

tiffsaver I couldn’t agree more. She is long overdue her flowers.
AMEN!!!
She didn't have music industry's definition of "THE LOOK"! Talent, unfortunately, isn't the basic of the Business"! Most talented people never make it. They aren't part of " the look"!

When they say "bring the house down", they mean THIS.
She sang her face off, effortlessly
Exactly !!!! :)
Stephy yesssss I cry every time I hear hear sing this song
effortlessly.
An under statement. Lort this small woman has a giant presence.
It's ridiculous I LOVE IT 😂♥️
I can barely wrap my head around the performance. No other live performance comes close. She is magical, a gift to us all. We will likely never see anything like this again.

Have you watched Whitney,s performance?
Love and worship Whitney but still think SM kills this@@bazzabe7360

I love ALL of Stephanie music but "Home" is Stephanie's Anthem.
WORD!!!!

Absolutely

Let there be no doubt🎶🎵🎼

Stephanie's prime never ended. Voice sounds exactly the same
I saw her perform this on Broadway as a kid and I can tell you it was incredible and so unforgettable. I fell in love with her and that voice.
This is her prime.
SHE SET THE BAR SO SO HIGH THAT ONLY FEW CAN CAPTIVATE AN AUDIENCE AND BRING THE ROOF DOWN THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVER TAKE A GOOD LOOK THIS IS WHAT REAL SINGERS LOOK LIKE GO STEPHANIE MILLS! !!!!!!!!!
I'm listening in 2024. Love this pint size powerhouse. This is what made the Wiz the GOAT of Broadway back in the day.
You know when you're in the presence of a singer who's voice has been touched by God himself..Chills go all through your whole being when they sing! Like Stephanie Mills.
I agree, because this is my first time looking at it on UA-cam and I could feel the anointing. It sent chills through my body.
YES STEPHANIE ♥️ ARETHA ❤️ WHITNEY ♥️ AND A YOUNG LADY NAMED HILARY KILGORE ❤️
I don't care what anyone says, THIS is a gospel song!
Stephannie Mills OWNS that song!!!!!
OH HELL YEAH!
No debate
Diana who?
NO ONE else should sing this song.
NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤣😂 dang
Whitney did a good job . Go listennnnn
StickOut Exactly. At only 19yrs old
I'm sure he's heard it...but he said what he said!
Those audience members weren't ready for this. No one is. It's perfection.
this performance brought tears to my eyes
Latasha Isabell Yessss!!!! Always!!!!!

I full on cried, this is definitely an iconic moment in music.
That is a artist who knows how to engage her audience, always have loved her, a pint size badaaasss

Jai Jones that part sends chills through me
BEST PART! SHE TORE THE ROOF OFF!!!
That was epic! A masterclass in stage presence and showmanship! She marveled in that performance and sang her absolute face off! Wow! BRAVO!
When she sings, "Or would it be better just to let things, let them be...Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!" She broke it down like a fraction and that Apollo crowd went wild with excitement. I know she gave me chills and this lady is no joke when it comes to vocal slayage ;)
Oh and Victor...You are fine as hell. Glad Ms. Stephanie got some fine representation backing her career ;D
That moment was so great, this whole performance is, but that's when she really started letting them HAVE IT. Amazing.
I get chills whenever I listen to her sing this song
Everytime Stephanie sings this song, it is MOST DEFINITELY A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE!! 💘👼 🎶 👗 👡 👩 🎼 🏡 👪 😍 💃 🎭
You are not wrong. This is on another level of performance. Breathtaking
It’s 2023 and She Killed this Entire Song!!! It’s a Whole Vibe❤️
This makes me feel the Holy Ghost. I don't care how that sounds, because it's true. I feel so spiritually lifted by her music, her voice is just Godly. She is truly anointed if anybody ever was. God bless her and this song.

It's not crazy at all. This is in my gospel playlist that I start my day with. My dear when you feel it you feel it. Just be glad you're one of the lucky ones that do.
I agree with you she had a encounter with the holy spirit
Stephanie does what "only" Stephanie can do at 3:43 -3:59 with so much soul and hit the hell out of that note.
How do you belt and sustain that note while jogging from side to side working the crowd? The woman is superhuman, I tell you!!
:)
She's the best was so underrated
Prolly was lip-synched.

The best Apollo performance ever....................................................
This one of the best live performances from anyone ever!
I told Stephanie what you said and she said thank you!
Can we say minute mark 5:03 where she has an already roaring crowd climbing another set of decibels! She better sang!!
Yassss!!!!
my absolute favorite part of this performance!!!
That's when your entire soul gets snatched!!! 👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽
I just love my beautiful people!!!! That young lady dancing with Stephanie was so beautiful to see.
I remember this "Showtime at the Apollo" episode! Stephanie's performance gave me chills! I remember my daddy yelling, "Sing Stephanie!" 😃
Wow! She is a World Class Singer.
THIS performance should have a STAR on Hollywood Walk of Fame. ⭐
This is one of the best performances I have ever seen. My college choir had to pleasure of singing this song with Ms. Mills a couple years ago and she still got it!!!
Running with the mic, not out of breath killing every rift and more like where are these singers. I’m 41 and glad I grew up on the tail end of this and grew up in a household where this and other music like this was played…true authentic sanger not singer!
OH MY GOD!!! She tore the roof off! What a spectacular performance!. It truly is a God awful that talent like this has gone by the wayside. I will always cherish the artists of my youth. Miss Stephanie, and many others like her will ever be in my thoughts as sheer inspiration!
Stephanie should do new music. I love her.
nymet2454 She's in the studio and thank u for loving her and appreciating her talent!
Nobody sings it better. She was in 'The Wiz' on broadway back in the 70's and always tore the house down with her voice
#True!!!!!
I love Stephanie, but, my girl Ms. Ross give them all a run for their money on this one!
We're all entitled to our own opinion.
Edward Jackson That may be true about Ms. Ross, but damn, Stephanie knocked this one out of the park. Even Ms. Ross must be saying "Oh damn.......I can't compete with that!"
Cracking up over here LoL...Thanx for the love!
I remember watching this on tv back in the day. This is one of the best performances I've ever seen. Stephanie Mills is GREAT!
What a thrill for me to witness her performing this show stopper as the original Dorothy in The Wiz in the mid 70s in NYC. I got chills hearing it now in 2023 as we all did then.
Had to watch this legendary performance before watching the wiz tonight!! She shut the Apollo down!!!!!
Exactly
YAAAASSSSS, SHE DID!!
MilMil Brown Yes indeed
