Patti LaBelle sang this song like the RENT was PAST-DUE and the Sheriff was on his way!! She left her entire soul on that stage! No one today comes this close except FANTASIA!! Patti is a NATIONAL TREASURE!!
And what's even more incredible is that although fantasia would be a worthy choice, even she would need to bootcamp a ton to actually capture Prime Patti. The Power and technique is unmatched to this day of Prime Patti. She was miles beyond even her own peers in certain ways. I just sit in awe of Prime Patti.
@Allsmoke 23 Yeah I saw her years ago when she was under the direction of Bud Ellison her former musical director. The band and her back singers were tight.
@Allsmoke 23 Oh I saw Patti in 1988 and around 1991. I always remember her talking about Budd and her band. She is one of those singers who come even more alive with a great band who knows her voice.
Patti has performed "you are my friend" for years, but this may be my favorite performance of her singing this song, what a classic!!! Thank you for posting! 💜
She has had a teleprompter forever, and before that, she had cards laid on the stage with the words. Yet, she can sing songs with the radio and knows all the words.
So....uhhh........Anyone know how long it took them to rebuild the roof? Because that heifer blew it off right there! Damn, Patti! You didn't have to hurt 'em like that!!
So, Patti’s at the Pearly Gates.... Your Name? I’m Patti LaBelle!!! Ha ha ha, that’s funny! No really I’m Patti LaBelle...... Yeah, then prove it....... and this was the performance!!!! She sung like her name wasn’t on the list at the gates!! That was epic! Jesus!
As a little boy growing up in the 80s Patti LaBelle always fascinated me and blew me away with her powerful performances.
Same became a fan in the 80s at 5yrs old especially when she did Motown returns to the Apollo. ❤

Mine too. She really laid into it!
My idol queen pattie😘😘😘
She’s singing her with less twang in her voice so lovely I love it .... her chest notes or low notes seem more powerful
She always forgets the words: "but I see your tears when I show my pain".
She has had a teleprompter forever, and before that, she had cards laid on the stage with the words. Yet, she can sing songs with the radio and knows all the words.
Great performance!! From Patti!!- what a friend the Lord is to his true people!!
