Get over it and just stop.. it's never enough with you people... maybe you should get back to what your good at... hmmmm.. I will get back to you on that one.
This performance needs to be archived and placed in the National Museum of African American History and Culture so future generations can see just what real singing looks like.
You saw that too?!?! She was IN the audience...singing for THEM......making it personal. It wasn't about doing dance moves and acrobatics for a show. She simply sang for the people, and BOY, she sang the HELL out that song!
I think "her lights" means she’s not "staying in place" like the producers would like, i.e. on stage. She’s walking out and making the camera crew work a little harder… you know, as hard as she is working vocally! Or is it that effortless for Ms Ferrell? Just showing up for the gig! Same as the cameraman should be, ready for anything.
Wow my sista I nearly fell out my chair that range, octave, pitch OMG!! And interacting with the audience holding it all together the same time and I can't forget standing ovation
When she hit that high note, if I wore a wig, I would've snatched it off of my head and swung it around like a helicopter propeller. If you don't think that this woman sang the HELL out of this song- then you don't like collard greens!
I know this is hella old, but her and Lisa Fisher were sooooo under rated!!! Along with everyone throwing their shoes, I damn near threw my phone!!! Hell I stopped holding my breathe after 5secs😂
Mizz Jacks Lisa Fischer wasn’t underrated. She chose to be in the background and stay there. She didn’t like being in front. The only reason why she’s doing it now is because she has too. Luther passed, Tina Turner retired, and The Rolling Stones aren’t touring. They were the ones she toured with
Rachelle Ferrell arguably has the BEST octave vocal range EVER; UNDOUBTEDLY she is ONE of my TOP 10 BEST vocalist in both the 20th and 21st Century! Suffice it to say, we can all agree to disagree; yet for a vocalist to proceed to briskly walk up 5 stairs, stride across towards the other side of the stage, then bounce and rock with it as she maintained this powerfully strong note for 26 solid seconds is absolutely phenomenal...(count 'em if you have nothing better to do) lol... I never tire of this song nor this video... UNDENIABLY RACHELLE FERRELL'S IN A LEAGUE OF HER OWN!!!
Yes, when I see and hear Rachelle; ONLY THEN can I even dare say: *Whitney who? Mariah who?* THAT SAYS A LOT BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST & RACHELLE SURPASSES THEM BOTH!!
DAMN! She does not play on stage! She be holdin' and extendin' the hell outta those notes. She never gets winded. So unique and distinct. Nobody sounds like her. I can't front, her faces have me rollin'.
I just had to stand up like my grandma would, with my hand on my hip......and give her the nasty look.... and say "come on girl and sang that song like its pose to be sung honey yesssssss"!!!!!!!
I could not stop laughing when she hit that whistle register. Not that it was funny & that I didn't take her singing seriously because she is, hands down, one of the most underrated gifted singers. Her hitting that whistle register definitely gives me the chills.
She sang with full authority, control and CONVICTION as if she was sending a message from the Almighty that He has not forgotten about us. Her vocal gifts and abilities are unrivaled, God-given and not to be denied. This queen wears her crown proudly.
NEVER in all my life have i EVER heard singing that flawless...OMG, SHE'S AMAZING!!! This has got to be one of the absolute GREATEST perfomances i've ever seen...MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was almost effortless. The control she has of her voice, the stamina and strength, and being able to nail that whistle while mingling with the audience as if it was nothing but a thing. Only a true singer with a true voice could have pulled off something like this. This was one of the best Showtime at the Apollo performances ever. Rachelle is one of the best voices of our time.
I don’t understand why isn’t she worldwide known for her range, her longevity and her control over her voice. Damn this girl deserves way more than this
She is known worldwide. She’s not worth the promotion because I don’t believe she get down with what they’re doing in the industry. Remember, you only go so far until you decide not to open either one of the three doors! She probably just walked away. I tell you what though she should promote local shows and still make her money.
One of the baddest vocalists ever, saw her in concert with will downing , their performance & their vocals are a match in heaven. It was late eighties early nineties when they performed in Charlotte 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes girl, YASSS!! That girl pulled it, and creased the phuck out of everybody's face @3:50. Yes mam, she did that shat! My God, her vocal range is BEYOND AMAZING!
Who else saw the power of that whistle note make that woman in the front row throw her hands up and spring out of the seat at minute mark 3:51? Only SANGIN' can make a person do that! LOL
What I loved about the Apollo is the audience were not polite and gentile, they were tough to please. So Rachelle getting them on their feet was an amazing feat. Man she's incredible
I remember the night this aired - she shut down the apollo and left the mic smoking and it's still smoldering to this day... thanks for posting this and the reminder of what an awesome talent she is
Let me just say this. After watching this masterpiece performance, I don't need to see any other TV performance. Rachelle has set the bar extremely high. She gave me everything an artist can give a watcher. She hit 42 different notes in 1 song. I'm going to her planet.
Sad to admit this is my first time seeing this clip in its entirety and hearing this song and im nearly 40. Powerful af. Thank you IG algorithm for showing me this song.
A true legend. I remember since grade school singing her songs, while walking down the halls of school. She has survived so much, but keeps it real and remains humble. Love you Natalie always.
Weena Bus Company Yup and she has many more weapons in her arsenal to defeat her like scatting,yodeling,beatboxing and holding 30 second full chest notes 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀
Brutha Dnubian that is really annoying. I'm sure there are greater vocalists than the Trinity's but they had their own style. Her technique is more than solid but I doubt many audience members bought her album and genuinely liked it
I've seen Rachelle Ferrell more times than I can count and no video I've ever seen has been comparable to seeing one of her live shows. She transports you with her spirit and her voice to a place that is somewhere not of this earth.
So you telling me this chic can sing tenor, soprano, alto, whistle, scat, yodel and hold a note for 3 hours. I'm done.
That part. Absolutely ridiculous
3 hours lol
I wish she would come out with another album. We need it like ASAP!!
😂😂😂
Yep! And walk around.
Black woman with way more talent never get their flowers the way they deserve
Sad
Get over it and just stop.. it's never enough with you people... maybe you should get back to what your good at... hmmmm.. I will get back to you on that one.

Mariah isn't the only singer with whistle register. Minnie Ripperton, Chante Moore, Betty Wright, Shanice Wilson. But Rachelle Ferrell, hands down!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾❤🎙🔊
Mariah has the most beautiful whistle tone in my opinion. However she is not the only one.
love action Lisa fisher
love action hella observation
love action No she doesn’t but Rachelle would sing Mariah into a coma
She's not even slaying these notes under her lights. She's doing this for the people, not the camera. One of a kind type singer.
Nate Johnson what does under her lights mean????
You saw that too?!?! She was IN the audience...singing for THEM......making it personal. It wasn't about doing dance moves and acrobatics for a show. She simply sang for the people, and BOY, she sang the HELL out that song!

Did Rachelle Ferrell just kill her own song live?! This was fantastic!
Aaron M right!
Murdered it
Yup 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

She tortured it then murdered it brutally
She's a true,, Legend In Her Own Time!!!! ( One of the BEST and the GREATEST ) 🙏🏾💖💖
Rachelle's undoubtedly one of the best female singers to walk on planet earth!
☝️👍
I’ve watched this maybe 10k times, no biggie.
Notice how Rachelle Ferrell is so extraordinary yet so humble! Talented on so many levels. May we give her her roses while she can still smell them.
Love to have her as a music teacher
Didn't need to shave, hair just fell off of my body when she hit that *NOTE*, OMG!!!!

Honey, that whistle she did took me completely OUT!
Her whistles are kinda unpleasant. They're just sharp and sometimes annoying.
Yeah, they're definitely NOT easy on the ears, her overall voice is ugly but that power and control. Wow
She be making some funny ass faces but she be killing it
Stephon bye clown
No one can touch her.
10⭐'s for this lady.

One of The Most under appreciated Artists who can sang her face off....You are Truly Gifted...I'll Love your music forever!!!
I come to this video when I need to go to a place away from everywhere else!!!!
I want vocal lessons from Rachelle Ferrell and Cissy Houston they been hitting high notes so effortlessly it's mind blowing 🤯
She treats her voice as a true i instrument. An extension of her spirit....an expression of her self. Absolutely amazing to witness!!!
Her voice is like the meals your grandmother made after church on Sunday - simply soulful.
FACTZ
I don’t understand why isn’t she worldwide known for her range, her longevity and her control over her voice. Damn this girl deserves way more than this
Cause she has clothes on....
She is known. She plays Jazz festivals all over the world.
She is known worldwide. She’s not worth the promotion because I don’t believe she get down with what they’re doing in the industry. Remember, you only go so far until you decide not to open either one of the three doors! She probably just walked away. I tell you what though she should promote local shows and still make her money.
She's criminally underrated...
She is known worldwide. More in the jazz world. She was with George Duke before going solo. More time in Europe.
VERY, VERY, VERY UNDERRATED! I just lost my damn socks with my shoes still on! That vocal range and control is utterly ridiculous!
Always a fan!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the baddest vocalists ever, saw her in concert with will downing , their performance & their vocals are a match in heaven. It was late eighties early nineties when they performed in Charlotte 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All of her CD's are drop dead AMAZING. Life changing.
The best female vocalist in da world!!
Her voice isn't a voice it's an instrument Phenomenonal ❤❤
She is amazing and asome .I loved that cd ,I played it over and over ❤❤❤❤.

Background singers
And she whip her hair after the note she a beast
AIN’T NO OTHER SINGER GOT THIS VOCAL RANGE AND CAN EXECUTE IT LIKE THIS!!
