It was written and produced by Burt Bacharach and his former wife Carole Bayer Sager and originally recorded by singer Dionne Warwick for inclusion on her album (1985). Eventually recorded by LaBelle and McDonald for her eighth studio album (1986),
I have had the pleasure of seeing Patty Labelle sing in person Twice and her voice is even more powerful in person and sometimes she doesn't even need the microphone
The 80’s was the decade of great duets. Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers, Stevie Nicks & Don Henley, Patti Austin & James Ingram, Phil Collins & Phillip Bailey, and check out a trio hit with Kim Carnes, Kenny Rogers & James Ingram “What About Me”
Miss Patti!! That girl can GO OFF!!! Listen to any of her live performances. Over the rainbow is a good one. I also love her 80's hit, New Attitude. THAT woman has SOUL!! She can make you FEEL her songs!
I love how each one is reined in and little by little lets loose their powerful voices. I think when she throws her arms open, it is so expressive. I love the overlaps in the video halves, where she crumples the paper and then he picks it up and where the same boxes are stacked on the floor in both halves
Anita Baker. You want a voice you can get lost in???? Then Anita Baker is your lady. I love Anita Baker! Sooooo smooth and soulful. Check out “Caught Up In The Rapture” & Sweet Love”!
Let's be real here for a moment... Is anyone really surprised that this song is EPIC?!? I mean, you put together *TWO LEGENDS* with unsurpassed vocals-- What else could we get?
Patti Labelle has a powerhouse voice!! Not many songs can bring out her beautiful range. First time I heard her sing was at an awards show on tv. She sang “Amazing Grace” a cappella. No music whatsoever. Just her. It was awesome.
This is one of my favorites! This song reminded me of the time when I was travelling from NC back to Baltimore with my family as a preteen listening to this song on my cassette player. Cherished! Memories! #80sforlife ❤
Two suggestions: I don't know much. It is by Linda Ronstandt and Aaron Neville. So beautiful. The second is phil collins and marilyn martin and is called separate lives. Both are so good
This was my break up song! I used to mime to it like Bridget Jones. We got back together, then it was 'Reunited' by Peaches and Herb. We have been married 21 years, but if it ever comes on the radio - I always give my husband a dirty look... x
That was a funny story about Patti LaBelle and her pies. I had forgotten that she had them on the market. Besides being a great singe and entertainer, she has always had the reputation of being a phenomenal cook.
Patti Labelle is amazing and has an incredible range. I once saw a video of her singing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' live in NYC that blew me away. Also Patti and Luther Vandross Having Fun!
Great freakin song. JV u gotta do 'Woman In Love' by Barbra Streisand. Barry & Robin Gibb wrote it. i believe u did the song 'Guilty' off same album. 'What Kind Of Fool' is another off that album & Barry sings on it as well.
It always feels SO good to hear Patti!!! Thank you. Trust me when I tell you - I ain't asking - you gotta play Patti and Joe Cocker singing You Are So Beautiful (live stage version) Puleeease
❤❤❤❤❤ them both! I saw Patti in concert back in 1986 when her song There's A Winner In You was out. I was in the 10th row and she brought a 10 year old girl in a wheel chair on stage who was in the first row. She wrapped the girl in a fur coat and sang the song face to face with her. The whole place was crying (I am now writing this) and a standing ovation for 5 mins after she finished. That little girl had the biggest smile I ever saw...that's when I fell in love with Patti forever! One of THE classiest people in the business! ❤ U Patti
MY DUDE ! If you love PATTI, you must check out LABELLE " Lady Marmalade " Plus, they wore crazy costumes. Maybe you can find a Soul Train performance.......... PEACE !
I used to play this all the time, now I’m divorced after 40 years of marriage and every word cuts like a knife and breaks my heart because I know this is my story, I thought I would love him forever but time changes everything and the love was gone and never came back I thought I could never survive on my own but I’m doing it, and I know my son will never forgive me but once the love has gone you become destructive .
I remember recommending this song to you, I knew you would love it. It always gives me the chills, their voices blend so perfectly together. They sound as if they have been through a split up yet they had never met and each recorded their parts in different places. I have loved this since I first heard it and always will, thank you so much for playing it sweetheart, I think this is my favourite duet. God bless you love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK
FUN FACT: "On My Own" is ranked #11 on Billboard's list of the Greatest Duets Of All Time.
#1 is "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.
I’m enjoying your fun facts. Thanks David ✌️🇦🇺💖
Toto - I'll Be Over You with Michael McDonald
Check out Josh Groban and Brian McKnight- "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
Thanks for the info 🙂
TWO LEGENDS ON A BEAUTIFUL SONG.
That Michael Mcdonald verse ' Now i know what loving you cost, Now we after talking divorce and we weren't even married' heartbreaking !!!
Losing you it cut like a knife you walked out and there went my life.... beautiful song
They'd never met when they recorded this song. Each sang their part in different places. They met for the first time at the music awards that year.
Wow!!
It's incredible how such great chemistry can come out of these very separate recordings.
@@robdaviesprogm Both are unbelievably talented. People with less probably couldn't have pulled it off.
@@charlesburris6314 you're absolutely right :)
I heard about that too...I watch the awards shows back then and thought it was so cool
I can't listen to this without listening three times in a row. Their vocals are off the charts. Perfect duet. Went to #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100
I can listen to this over and over and over again
Man- Patty is so bad ass. If you watch their duettes, patty belts it so fucking hard, it will make you cry😂
They are both epic.
That song will tear your heart out if you’ve ever been in love.
It certainly reflected my broken heart during the years 💔
Exactly
Fr!!
Patti Labelle does a great duet with Gladys Knight called "I Dont do Duets" . Two amazing voices working together!
Decades later.....this still gives me chilllllllzzzz! Exquisitely performed lyrics....and
soooooo deeply tragic.
yeah
All Facts!!
A good duet is Michael McDonald and James Ingram with "Ya Mo Be There".
Yes!
Excellent call!
YESSS I was just about to recommend it
Fantastic song, definitely worth a listen to.

Aretha Franklin and George Michael: I Knew You Were Waiting For Me.
Fantastic, one of a kind combination of magnificent voices. I think Jay would love it!
YES!!
Yup. That was a great duet.
oowww yes!

So. Excited. Another best duet! Barry Gibb and Barbara Streisand: Guilty and What Kind of Fool.

Best duet song ever by the greats Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald
I have had the pleasure of seeing Patty Labelle sing in person Twice and her voice is even more powerful in person and sometimes she doesn't even need the microphone
I love this song. Michael Mcdonald she Patti LaBelle are two of the greatest voices ever.
I cried my eyes out “I never thought I would be alone again”. One night alone I learned how to be strong for myself and my little one
Two powerhouse artists that have created timeless hits.
The 80’s was the decade of great duets. Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers, Stevie Nicks & Don Henley, Patti Austin & James Ingram, Phil Collins & Phillip Bailey, and check out a trio hit with Kim Carnes, Kenny Rogers & James Ingram “What About Me”
Jermaine Jackson and Whitney Houston if you say my eyes are beautiful. ✌️
Zofer-1920 can't forget about: All of You sung by Diana Ross and Julio Iglesias
I’ll add Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, “Endless Love”
@@Zofer-1920 I'll counter and add: Aretha Franklin and George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

Ms Patty is VERY unique

I keep forgetting is a classic. Love to see Jay react to that one!
One of the best duets, highlights their skills incredibly
Miss Patti...yesssss! You're throwin' down with the strong women's voices tonight 💪🏾❤️
The spilt screen was fantastic..even down to the tissue on the table
Anita Baker. You want a voice you can get lost in???? Then Anita Baker is your lady. I love Anita Baker! Sooooo smooth and soulful. Check out “Caught Up In The Rapture” & Sweet Love”!
Yes!!! Anita Baker and Sade and Enya .
Oh yes! Anita Baker I love her songs
And Giving you the Best that I Got and Just Because!
@jrml79 - agreed
jrml79 Anita Baker is smooth and a lady of soul.
Great song, I wish they still made music like this...
If the radio played them again, they made be heard and create a new wave of music for younger people....
That aerial shot of Patti at 5:55, arms stretched out, reaching those notes....that shot always gives me chills.
Greatness right there. Incredible singing, and Michael can sing and hit, the sun and back, and still have room. Wow.
gotta check out "Lady Marmalade" by LaBelle
Yes yes YES!!!
Thank you great duet and there is no voice like Patti ❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋
"If You Asked Me To" is a great next stop for Patti LaBelle.
The original version YES!
2 powerhouses singing a truly beautiful song about breakup. Amazing. I listen to this often. It's good to remember things from your past
Let's be real here for a moment... Is anyone really surprised that this song is EPIC?!? I mean, you put together *TWO LEGENDS* with unsurpassed vocals-- What else could we get?
One of my favorite duets. Can’t beat these two together. Michael McDonald could sweet talk me anytime. 😉
Patti Labelle has a powerhouse voice!! Not many songs can bring out her beautiful range. First time I heard her sing was at an awards show on tv. She sang “Amazing Grace” a cappella. No music whatsoever. Just her. It was awesome.
Absolutely the best duet EVER! Great choice. I know you liked it!!🎶
Wow! You guys are killing me. You have not heard of Patti Labelle? Wow! I am getting old.
Patti LaBelle's "If Only You Knew"
This is one of my favorites! This song reminded me of the time when I was travelling from NC back to Baltimore with my family as a preteen listening to this song on my cassette player. Cherished! Memories! #80sforlife ❤
Aww sweet memories 🥰
One of the great collaborations! Such a beautiful song! 💖💥
"Too Much Too Little Too Late," a duet with Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams
Always loved this song so sad but beautiful at the same time
I never noticed the Twin Towers at the end of the video. I love this collaboration.
Patti is a legend
Little girls
You are my friend
Since I don’t have you
Both so talented. Michael McDonald has one of the sexiest voices I have ever heard. It literally gives me goosebumps.
Two suggestions: I don't know much. It is by Linda Ronstandt and Aaron Neville. So beautiful.
The second is phil collins and marilyn martin and is called separate lives.
Both are so good
Ditto!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍🤩

Patti's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is just awesome
Sometimes you can't live with them , can't live without them, such a sad song, beautifully sung.
I forgot how beautiful this song was 💗💙
Thank you for the reminder JV!!
Laughed so hard I spit out my coffee when you said " I just thought she made pies".
Takes you to a peaceful place, doesn’t it, legends in action, great hit.
MY DUDE ! If you love PATTI, you must check out LABELLE " Lady Marmalade " Plus, they wore crazy costumes. Maybe you can find a Soul Train performance.......... PEACE !
Listen to Patti doing "If You Only Knew" for more of that powerful voice of hers.
Beautiful voices on both in this one. Sad though...
The Best combo EVER!!! AMAZING.
PÀTTY & MICHAEL 🎤🎶♩💧
Yep chills people!! Loved this song then, love it now...what an awesome collaboration between two great music artists. Thanks for the upload Jay!! 💞💞💞
Two great artist 🎧🎶 with a superb performance
Patti LaBelle was on my concert bucket list. I got to see her a few years ago. She is amazing live...and when he shoes come off. Epic‼️🥰
Ypu need to check out Patti with Bobby Womack Love Has Finally Come at Last...incredible vocals. Hi from the UK.
One of the best duets ever!😍
The best Duo that you could ever listen to.
One of my favorites
Beautiful duet...beautiful music!
One of my favorite line from any song is "Now we're up to talking divorce, and we won't even married..."
... Great reaction vid...!!! 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽
This song is still on my playlist. It got me through some dark times! Nothing but love for these two!
This is the best love song, ever for me.
Michael Mc Donald... uffff. A big hug from Mexico City!!
I used to play this all the time, now I’m divorced after 40 years of marriage and every word cuts like a knife and breaks my heart because I know this is my story, I thought I would love him forever but time changes everything and the love was gone and never came back I thought I could never survive on my own but I’m doing it, and I know my son will never forgive me but once the love has gone you become destructive .
Incredible talent in this song for sure.
One of the best songs of all time, any genre
I remember recommending this song to you, I knew you would love it. It always gives me the chills, their voices blend so perfectly together. They sound as if they have been through a split up yet they had never met and each recorded their parts in different places. I have loved this since I first heard it and always will, thank you so much for playing it sweetheart, I think this is my favourite duet. God bless you love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK
Great song Jayvee! Michael McDonald's voice is perfect with hers ~ Keep it real ;)
One word, MAGIC!
What a great song! 2 great voices! Love your reaction!
New Attitude and Stir It Up are another 2 awesome songs from Patti LaBelle!
Congrats on 94k
Fun fact: the video was filmed seperately. Patti in NY and Michael in San Fran. Producers put the two together and BOOM! great video.
Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick on Oprah singing “Superwomen”... a must see classic performance!
