I don't have much to add to the comments for this electrifying performance by my favorite vocal group. Patti says it but I would like to highlight that Nona Hendryx wrote "I Believe I Finally Made It Home" and "Touch Me All Over", among other otherworldly classics for Labelle. She has sole writing credit on those songs. She didn't write a song with 14 people over a sample of someone else's music. Nona CREATED these songs.
OMG....! I can't breathe....! This is a classic performance that still shakes every fibre in my body in 2018! Magical....BLACK...Gritty Soul. No other goddamn female group could EVER imitate...never duplicate. Patti, Sarah and Nona were fiercely ahead of their time and will always remain this way. Thank you Over30Pumas.... I truly believe that I have finally made it home! DAMN!
Winston Ward They reigned. in the 60's the bluebells became the first African American R&B female girl group to have a headline singer. The first African American girl group to perform live on UK TV. The Bluebelles sang the equivalent of Opera. The bluebells had the vocal ability to sing without the aid of a microphone and Belt into the high whistle register in Perfect Harmonies.The Vandellas, The Marvelettes, The Ronettes, The Supremes,...etc. No Female Girl group gave it ☝ Vocally or came close. Grandstanding For heaven shakes, three of their greatest hits are the equivalent of Opera.
Patti, Nona, and Sarah sang like a full on choir from the generation before mine (gen x). These women were true singers from the soul. I loved their flamboyant style too. :)
This is amazing, it's only 3 women singing but sounds like a choir in my ears, they deserved so much acknowledgement then they received, They we're the full package, a super group! R.I.P Sarah da sorprano Dash!💐
I wish and pray plead and hope that one day either the record companies or just the Labelle fans would complile all of the tv video and concert performances of these amazing women into a visual keepsake for the fans . Every time I see them perform whether it's from Back in the day until today , I'm transported into another dimension of educational musical magic and masterful performance artistry ! These amazing people are the truth ! Turn on your nightly news if you think otherwise. VIVA LABELLE !!!
I am with you on that. I am a LaBelle addict. I love their live performances. My favorite is "What Can I Do For You?" If anyone has any performances of that song other than what's on UA-cam.....please upload.
...you know the live performance is so dope and you are totally captivated when the YT ad cuts in through SD's monologue and you are completely and deeply pissed at the break but still relish its capture! Just incredible and thank you!!
HAPPY 78th BIRTHDAY BELATEDLY (May 24, 2022) TO OUR WONDERFULLY OUTSTANDING INTERNATIONAL GOD MOTHER OF SOUL MISS PATTI LABELLE! 🌹MUCH LUV 2 U MAMA P!😘
I love this! I've been revisiting a lot of Sarah Dash and Labelle videos after Sarah's passing. Sarah was so talented and beautiful, she will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace.
@K.N. Carter Sarah was so classy. Yes, Patti was the flamboyant, bombastic vocal powerhouse, but Sarah was so smooth, classy, controlled and disciplined with her vocals. Nona was more of the deeper husky whisper type voice.
In the 1990s, my husband and I were living in Boston and we saw Sarah singing with Keith Richards crew. I went to just see Keith, but Sarah was the a great surprise. She was as flawlessly beautiful, as ever and improved the vocals of Keith.
Love Patti, Nona & Sarah, from 1963 at The Uptown Theater in Philly all the years and wonderful music through 2009, at The Apollo for the reunion of LABELLE !!!
There is a new documentary out about this tv show “Soul”. It is currently being shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in nyc. Finally a tribute to Soul and wonderful program that was shown on tv from the late 60s to the early 70s. The name of the doc is” Mr. Soul”
I should be glad that these videos even exist, but having seen Labelle several times in the 70's and a couple shows during their reunion tour I cant help wishing the sound quality was better. There was nothing quite like them live. The harmonies were amazing. 3 rich powerful soulful voices. They were the real thing! And Patti in her prime........FOR - GET - A -BOUT - IT!!!
Mannati I totally agree. I saw them numerous times starting in the 1960s through right before they broke up. Right from the beginning, it was obvious that they had something no other vocal group had. What was not obvious was that they would be so underrated through most of their career. We are so lucky that they stuck it out and that as a result we have lots of great music to refer back to. I wish there were more videos capturing the incredible live performances. I remember seeing them live on the show “Soul” where this video is from. They were on that show a number of times but something is getting in the way of releasing those performances which were, at one time, available to be purchased by the public. Also saw the show at the Metropolitan Opera House in nyc and will never forget how crazy with joy they made audience feel
LORD. HAVE. MERCY! When I interviewed for LYRICALLY SPEAKING in 1995, I discovered this footage and it still sends CHILLS up my spine and makes tears LEAP from my eyes! WE WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN is why I came here today but MERCY...ALL OF IT IS CHURCH/SOUL/RAW/REAL...RIGHT!!!!!!!
Patti is so entertaining!!! Hey girl, what you make tonight? Love her! Love them all. The dance breakdown was epic. Nona started shouting! Even the male audience member got happy. This is a spiritual experience, definitely shades of soul. Makes you emotional. Audience member at the end moving the microphone cord out of her way. So sincere.
I always thought that LaBelle was better as a trio than a quartet. It was a better move that Cindy Birdsong left in 67 to go with the Supremes because LaBelle was able to re-invent themselves as a funk rock band and it worked.
@@abdurobinson6827 okay you gotta look at it from that time. They got almost no recognition until lady marmalade. Records didnt sell. They got lost in the rubbles of that time and then when they did Lady Mama live they would only be popular for another maybe two years after that and then Patti would have a long struggle for another close to 10 years until she made a name for herself just remember she was nowhere close to where all the other Divas had been or were until like the mid-80s think about it on versus she didn't do any old old material from the bluebells or LaBelle all of her material started around the mid-eighties on up when she did the battle with Gladys , Gladys took it all the way back to the 60s because her stuff was charting then Patty stuff was not charting in the sixties or in the 70s either however Patty was just as good she just couldn't chart
Ron Williams I’m talking about Their performances. I watched so many LaBelle performances and I was blown away. The Supremes sales were bigger but all of LaBelle had great voices each could hold their own. Yes by time Patti went on her own it did take some years to find a hit record. There is no denying that her voice has made up for what she may not have done in sales if that makes sense
This is an awesome piece of music film footage! I always loved and respected how they were a GROUP! No one member was more important, than the other. They were and still are, under appreciated!
soul raw soul these ladies were something really special, musical beast.Best of there kind,,love,love them. had they been white they would hail the greatest era.
The first time I saw patti and the blue bells was on ameture night at the Apollo in 1964 you never walk alone priceless nona I had a crazy crush on her way before they were famous
@over30pumas Have friends who privately shared original copies of this and other vintage Labelle video performances. I admit to posting many of the performances publicly for the for time on YT (the BBC "You Turn Me On", CBS's That's What's Happening Baby "You'll Never Walk Alone", Chameleon Come With Me/Come Into My Life, "What Can I Do For You" edit from "Midnight Special". I broke the veil, rejected those who held these treasures for "ransom" $$$$$ over the years. There is intense general interest in seeing these historical performances, so I couldn't resist sharing. Hopefully the aging Labelle video mafia and censors won't remove these. Much appreciate for this... I'll one up you soon... Ib Diop
Bless you for your posts. In addition to "Can I Speak to You Before You Go to Hollywood," would love to see other clips from the Pressure Cookin' record.
: thank you so much for uploading this INTENSE piece of musical history! it's absolutely priceless. leave it here for future generations to learn from. THIS is how it's done!
franco franus I couldn’t agree more. I’ve loved Patti LaBelle since I was a child. After reading her book “Don’t Block the Blessings” I fell in love with LABELLE! The fact the responsible for changing the face of music and girl groups is amazing to me! Definitely pioneers for individuality in girl groups.

I think like you, Sarah
Preach!!!
💐💐💐
My my My ....Sarah’s Soprano is off the chain!!!!!!!
Sinner Man
No lip syncing allowed on "Soul"...Perfect for Labelle...Lawdy, Lawdy, what a group!!!
PURE SOUL and no AUTO TUNE HERE y'all.
@@cheritabarbuto8851 NO AUTOTUNE EXISTED ONLY THE TALK BOX AND RODGER TROUTMAN PRETTY MUCH HAD THAT ON LOCK AT THE TIME
@@miystiqueskillz2233 I know,just making a point that it's NOT ALL SOUND BOARD.
It's time for them to be inducted into the rock and roll Hall of fame
Say it Loud!!!!
YESSSSSS!!!!! ✅
Should've happened along time ago!!
Every one should reach out to the hall of fame to let them know
Yes I agree!
"...3 of the baddest sisters in the world..." I totally agree.
Ms.Pattie still draws them in yo..
Sarah Dash is totally undervalued as a singer. That woman's range and technique were just amazing.
She may have had more range than Patti.
RIP
@@brodocbetty4856 what was her highest note?
I never undervalued her. Couldn't find any group with a soprano like her.
Rest in peace Sarah 🙏😫

Sarah Dash should have been the Superstar.
Just listening to it for the first time. Bomb!!!
WHERE IS THE 'LOVE BUTTON'??? LABELLE IS LIFE!!!
We are the most phenomenal people ever created. Somebody had to say it."
Yes we are
We are the original people of this earth
Thank God we were blessed with a group like LaBelle.
Blessed 2 be born in a generation of truly iconic singers.They don't make them like they use 2 ...do they?
Patti, Nona, and Sarah sang like a full on choir from the generation before mine (gen x). These women were true singers from the soul. I loved their flamboyant style too. :)
Baby boomers
SARA DASH GREAT VOICE TECHNIC
Sarah definitely should have taken the lead more often.
Amen!!
Rest In Peace Sarah Dash
Patti was the vocal powerhouse, and Nona was the free spirit. But my fave was Sarah Dash, she was just so beautiful and sensual to me.
She was!!!!
"SINNER MAN!:
That voice of that Patti Labelle- just incredible.
Sarah was not to be played with baby!!! Sing Sarah Dash!!!
Even though it's only the 3 of them but they sound like a choir! Which shows the power, range, and versatility of their voices!
Three incredible singers. The Nina Simone cover is priceless.
Rest in Heaven Sarah Dash. A true singer with a heart of gold.
Come on Sarah!!!! That piercing soprano..omg!!!
This is amazing, it's only 3 women singing but sounds like a choir in my ears, they deserved so much acknowledgement then they received, They we're the full package, a super group! R.I.P Sarah da sorprano Dash!💐
Preach!!!!
They sang the hell outta 4 women. Their way. The harmony, omg!!!
Uh, what's up with "thumbs down" ratings? That was outstanding!! Real talent!!!
I cant believe this was 50 yrs ago! Wow! Time flys🦅
I wish and pray plead and hope that one day either the record companies or just the Labelle fans would complile all of the tv video and concert performances of these amazing women into a visual keepsake for the fans .

The Most Beautiful Songbirds Ever. So much Love. For You All. Rip. Dear Sarah Dash. Love your lyrics; Nona Hendricks. Love your voice Pattt
Rest in peace Ms. Sarah Dash
🕊🙏🏽
I see Patti's been stepping away from the mic and singing longer than I've been alive. LOL
I love Nona Hendricks like an Ethiopian princess...this trio is powerful the four women version.. great ..these times were purity of Soul..
They sound like a hundred people.I had never heard anyone sing like that til I heard LaBelle.
Absolutely outstanding. Patti all "in the spirit" is awesome . . . gave me goosebumps!
The days when it was about the love of music!
Wow I see that patti wasn’t the only that had a great voice Sara & Nona held they on
Yep, they’re often overlooked (because Patti’s so strong), but remember they all sang together - powerful, bold, unique & strong voices ! 🎤 🎶
Sarah dash was lit💣
I love this! I've been revisiting a lot of Sarah Dash and Labelle videos after Sarah's passing. Sarah was so talented and beautiful, she will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace.

Tricia Edwards!!! That was the first time I ever heard anyone introduce her as that!! I love Tricia ❤️❤️
I to remind that one and Google it
Patrica Edward’s…that’s our girl Patti💕
Love Patti, Nona & Sarah, from 1963 at The Uptown Theater in Philly all the years and wonderful music through 2009, at The Apollo for the reunion of LABELLE !!!
Rest In Heavenly Peace Ms. Sarah Dash.
Listening and seeing LaBelle was a religious experience. Why, oh why did they leave us so soon? That was a sacrilege
He ain't said nothing but the truth. THE BADDEST. They don't sang like this no more
There is a new documentary out about this tv show “Soul”. It is currently being shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in nyc. Finally a tribute to Soul and wonderful program that was shown on tv from the late 60s to the early 70s. The name of the doc is” Mr. Soul”

Omggg they sang Nina Simone and the Who! Amazing!
Well, The Who was then contemporary, so...
Sarah Dash...a goddess among goddesses.

Kevin, you have lived through, and produced, so much musical history. Flowers to you, brother!
Loved ever since the Bluebelles..Part of my fiber...Oh! Patti Patti..
I like how he introduced Patti LaBelle as "Tricia Edwards" married name was (Patricia Edwards at the time)
Seems disrespectful now tho lol
Since they were performing her stage name is what he should've stuck to.
Me too. I caught that. I wonder what that was about.
He was reading from the teleprompter.
SENSATIONAL AWESOME HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL AMAZING SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!
Sarah Dash !! RIP .but internet allons to see you. Talent and Beauty...
Mama patti is so beautiful😍💓

No words. I am so glad I got to meet Labelle during the Back to Now tour in NYC. Back in 2008 they killed the Apollo. This is incredible. Thank you
OMG That Intro To Touch Me All Over Just Gave My Soul Chills!!! SANG!! SANG!!! SANNNGGGG!!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾💥🙏🏾💕 you see Nona smiling as Patti riffs. Proof that the author approves. 💐
I always thought that LaBelle was better as a trio than a quartet. It was a better move that Cindy Birdsong left in 67 to go with the Supremes because LaBelle was able to re-invent themselves as a funk rock band and it worked.
So maybe when we lose someone or something dear to us it gives us a chance to grow.
Had she stayed they still would have worked something out. Cindy wasnt going to make or break the group.
Ron Williams I understand that when they were the bluebells they were just another group but Labelle was a group that stood out
