Patti Labelle is a phenominal woman. She has a octave range of 6 not five but 6 and the 6 is a whistle. Home gurl can blow. I had the most gracious chance to see her live back stage and front row she can go. She can hold them notes better longer and powerful now at 65 than she did when she was 45. Patti is a blessing Patti put own a show and its like you are getting your own private show. She came out walking exactly as if she been modeling all her life with 6 inch Christian louboutin heels and did her thing. SHe had exactly 12 pair going around the piano. John Stanley needs to be fired he cant sing to me. But The lady that sings back up for her the heavy set lady that has been with Patti for almost her entire career can get down right along with Dr. Labelle. And yes she is a Dr. She has earned to be exact 4 Dr. Degrees. She is a fine example of a real woman with class and dignity. She not only respects her self but she respects authority and respects others.

Patti LaBelle is fabulous…but still manages to project an image of “down home realness”…without being a minstrel show. I saw an interview where she said she keeps hot sauce in her pocketbook so she can put it on her food when she goes out. Yeah, she got some cosmetic work done…but Miss Patti looks GOOD. “Livin’ it up with Patti LaBelle” on TV One is one of my guilty pleasures.

BWBTT,
I was long ago convinced that Celia and Patti’s great-great-great-great-great grandfathers were brothers from the Bight of Benin. One got dropped off in Havana, and the other got dropped off probably in Virginia somewhere.

Lisa: Celia, (RIP) was and will always be the Queen of Salsa………..

Why call Patti a ragamuffin. Please have some respect for a woman who has entertained for over 40 years. Plus, she copies no one. She is innovative. It is called BlACKNESS!

Peace and love

Patti gets endless respct from me because her, Nona, Cindy, and the other chick were down with Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions back in the mid-60′s. They did a really good version of Curtis’ “I’m Still Waiting”, which was also covered by alot of Rocksteady acts in Jamaica (HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, MARCUS GARVEY!!!!) in the 60′s too.

I had almost forgotten what Oprah Winfrey was like before she became Oprah. I could actually tolerate her back when this episode aired.

The ladies were jamming, there’s no doubt about it. I saw Patti perform at the Fox Theater in Detroit back in 1999 and she put on a show, kicked those heels off and everything. Hopefully, the RRHOF committee will get their act together and induct Patti ‘cuz it’s long overdue.

Hey there!!

Congrats on your finalist nod!!!!

(smiles)

I love Patti... but if anyone has seen Celia Cruz...they will be able to tell that LOOOONG before there was Patti with her outrageousness, there was Celia and Patti copied off of ALL of Celia's fabulousness if you look at the old, old photos of Celia.

Celia even had the crazy high heel shoes on stage when Patti was just a little raggamuffin in elementary school!!
