    This was a special performance on the Midnight Special. My generation knew how to enjoy the best music 🎶 🎵 ever. Patti LaBelle is phenomenal. She has a fantastic voice. This is an incredible way to watch live music 🎶 🎵 The Midnight Special never seem to disappoint.

    Always loved Patti's voice. One of my favorites for sure. The album cut of this is absolutely stellar and you can see it here, how powerful, loud, confident, and silky but striking her voice is. Nothing but respect to and for Ms. Labelle.

    My favorite song from Patti and The Ladies is right Here!! 🎉❤🔥 They move so fine!!! 🎉
    A friend of mine in HS class of ‘77 had a cute t shirt with the French lyrics on the front. I liked to borrow it and wear it to school, too. It was cool looking and kinda naughty & sassy - ha!
    Don’t remember if she had it custom made as we had many t shirt shops in Tulsa, OK back then - Ahhh Memories …

    Amazing & electrifying! As only LaBelle could be… The real thing, and absolute trailblazers! This is one group that can’t be put in one genre. They could do (and did do) everything, exceptionally well.
    This was the early 70s, but these women were writing their own songs, along with arranging very unique vocals.
    They should be in every Hall of Fame that exists ❤❤❤
    I’ll always love Patti, Sarah, and Nona!!!

    ...Although Patti LaBelle is known as an R&B Legend, she rarely gets props for her Rock & Disco credits; Labelle (the Group) were covering Rock standards, & meshing 70's "Glam Rock" into R&B....And, "Lady Marmalade" helped Black Female Singers to become the 'Foremothers' of DISCO Music (to white Audiences) (3:20), in 1975.....GO Sister, Soul Sister(s)..... (1:32)

    Sweet stuff. I love the work they did on Laura Nyro’s 1971 album, ‘Gonna Take A Miracle’

    • @iandowney4630
      @iandowney4630 6 місяців тому +5

      That album was a masterpiece, imo. It was released around the time when the girl group Patti LaBelle and The Blue-Belles had become LaBelle. Cindy Birdsong had left the group to join Diana Ross and The Supremes, which left Patti, Sarah Dash, and Nona Hendryx.
      Laura Nyro was a fan of theirs- and the R&B music of the 50s and 60s. The album “Gonna Take A Miracle” is a collection of cover versions of great 60s music. Some of my favorites on this album include “The Bells”, “I Met Him On A Sunday”, and the title track. However, the entire LP is a stellar work. It’s largely been forgotten, sadly. LaBelle’s vocals are just a preview of what was to come from the group.
      If you’re a fan of LaBelle’s/ Patti LaBelle and you haven’t listened to it, you’re missing some really great music!

      I LOVE Laura Nyro, didn’t know this before thank you!
      Especially love her songs Wedding Bell Blues, Stoned Soul Picnic & Stoney End what a fantastic musician/singer Laura was - it’s so sad she passed so young at age 49 from ovarian cancer.

      @@KittyGrizGriz She’s been one of my favorite artists since I was a kid…many decades ago! I still have all of her albums and I cherish them. Sadly, she’s one of the most underrated artists I know. She is known primarily for her songwriting, which is truly phenomenal. However, she was a childhood prodigy on the piano. Her vocals are as unique as her songwriting.
      If you haven’t checked out Eli and The Thirteenth Confession, I highly recommend it. Also, New York Tendaberry is a great album. They both have songs that were covered by and hits for other artists/groups. I don’t think she cared that much about commercial success. Imo, she truly deserved it!
      It was so sad that she was taken from the earth by ovarian cancer. Not long afterward, her partner was diagnosed with , and subsequently died of, ovarian cancer, too. Damned cancer!
      I have to say that you have very good taste in music 😊 Here you are listening to LaBelle, who were way ahead of their time. So was Laura. Keep on listening!
