[@masterhomeguru2064]

Wow….they blew that out of the water! You can tell they wanted to honor her and they did it with a spirit of excellence!!

[@paigeturner7467]

BIG FACTS!

[@danavixen6274]

ABSOLUTELY! Miss Patti could feel the well deserved love!❤❤❤❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@angeoverstreet1383]

Yes Yes YES!!!!

[@snsn7251]

Listen Tanya needs to be doing Patti tributes from now on. Period

[@jamiefreeman8603]

Good gracious they don't make singerS like MISS PATTI ❤🎉😊 ANYMORE!!!!! AN THEY DID HER AN MICHAEL PROUD!!!! SO THANKFUL THAT I GREW UP ON THIS MUSIC 🎶

[@MC-uf8qi]

They literally CLEARED the stage...OMG Tanya Blount really has preserved her voice 💯

[@prometheus1901]

This was AMAZING!!

[@jamelodythomas3771]

I didn’t know that was her😍

[@teamenjoylife1354]

​@@jamelodythomas3771Neither did I but now i'm hooked.

[@demoss75]

​@@teamenjoylife1354right

[@blessedandfavored9242]

Yes! And she always sounded like Patti a lil bit… well shared her inflections. Hear her belts when they shared the stage years ago.

[@sherritablair9993]

How in the world am I just now realizing that this is THE Tanya Blount from Sister Act 2 🤯

[@gregoryharvard8787]

She channeled Patti's voice perfectly! He really took it there with the growls and the higher notes!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✅️

[@blessedandfavored9242]

Yes! And she always sounded like Patti a lil bit… well shared her inflections. Hear her belts when they shared the stage years ago.

[@ksionc100]

Tanya channeled Whitney in her earlier career. Now she's channeling Patti Labelle. Why not be yourself.

[@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND]

​@@ksionc100She is being herself

[@divatalk9011]

⁠@@ksionc100She definitely is herself. The twang she uses in her voice is very different to Patti or Whitney

[@brandonbless9593]

well she sang with Patti during a tribute to Diana Ross look it up on KZbin they were going back and forth

[@sandrarichardson761]

Omg!! This was the best rendition of this song ever!! They had me wanting to throw a shoe on the stage through my cell phone 😅😂 . They came through with the vocals!! ..sheesh 👏🏽👏🏽👐🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@MsJones2U.]

Ikr! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rudolphmcneill515]

I'd never even heard anyone else do this song. Only Patti and Michael.

[@sheilab578]

Lol Yes!!! I saw Ms. Patty in concert and sure enough she had 3 pairs of Gorgeous shoes on top of the piano!😂🎉

[@lindapfister2484]

I think they should record it. Wow I love it

[@prometheus1901]

I agree 100%

[@hakimd7677]

Yes they really should!

[@DeborahLewis-mp5ho]

Understand that it wont be the same, but it was a crazy great performance and I'm happy we have the opportunity to listen to it.a

[@latreymyrick3103]

Expeditiously!

[@sassyb20031]

I LOVE the original but THIS.....THIS! Whew! The cover would be just as great

[@helenannleeshung9028]

Now that is how a tribute is done !❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥⭐️🏆 They NAILED IT !!!!

[@cutiecamille]

This was such a fantastic way to honor the legendary Patti Labelle. They both channeled the essence of the original but added their own twist to it. Perfect!

[@blessedandfavored9242]

Yes! And she always sounded like Patti a lil bit… well shared her inflections. Hear her belts when they shared the stage years ago.

[@POObumpoopo]

Through the Rain was damn near 30 years ago and her voice has only gotten better. They floored with this performance.

[@no1strawberricherri]

Came back to this after the Sister Act 2 reunion special. I saw this performance before and remembered being blown away…I had no idea it was THE Tanya Blount from the movie. This duo is amazing…I am now officially a War & Treaty FAN!!!

[@joettajefferson4725]

Holy Cow! They blew that performance out the water. Just Fantastic!!!!!!!

[@pgscontinuingjourney]

WOW!!! It is Tanya Blount who was the Sister Act 2 as one of the kids choir members!! Whoopi Goldberg, Lauryn Hill and Sheryl Lee Ralph would all be proud of this performance, I am sure!!!

[@solodiez]

Yes that's her! You're right, I'm sure they are proud and just as glad to see her as we are! ❤

[@dr.pacohintonjr.8988]

Wow I didn’t recognize her.

[@sh3rrylov3]

I was wondering the same thing!! Thanks!!

[@ePelle741]

That's her?! Wow, she and they both sound so fantastic!

[@voodoomagic71685]

Shut up! It is her, I see it now.

[@mike856ms]

I so love them. They are the real deal. I so hope they win the Grammys they just got nominated for. Best new artist. Yes.

[@mariataylor9643]

Oh I hope so too!!

[@jay-marwhyte]

Wow! I vote for her to play Ms Labelle in any movie

[@jay-marwhyte]

And he can play Gerald

[@derrickdmilnersr4611]

Yes Lord, she could play Patti !!! 💯

[@derrickdmilnersr4611]

​@@jay-marwhyteyes he could Definitely play Gerald baby!

[@SCHOLAR92]

She definitely would’ve been the one to do it in the 90s.

[@hummingbirdcity]

Patti's flapping over there!

[@nesq4104]

That man's voice is a absolutely phenomenal. He reminds me of Gerald levert. He's like the perfect male singer I every way

[@humanforotherhumans]

Nesq4104, I was looking for that name: Gerald Levert. 🙏🙏👌🏿

[@nesq4104]

[@ladypurvis4599]

I am so glad my husband and I found you guys. You are absolutely beautiful and amazing inside and out. The soulfulness in your songs that you own when you sing is second to none!

[@ashleytucker9472]

One of my favorite Patti songs! They absolutely murdered this song! Wow such talent! I had no idea this was Tanya Blount from Sister Act 2, she still sounds amazing!

How can this woman be so youthful at 79 years old, walk in high heels, and still look so damn pretty?

[@ChristinaJenkins-pk3ty]

Absolutely beautiful. It's so good to see Tanta Blount getting hers. This is the right partnership 🙂🙂🙂

[@kstewart636]

What I RESPECT is @MS PATTI LABELLE stood up soon as Tanya Blount started singing - paying homage at the same time back …. 😘😘😘

[@user-fn3kz5nl9x]

This is one of my favorite songs. Patty and Michael McDonald. The duo was bad to the bones when they released that song. Brought back memories 😢😢 when I had to let go someone in my life years ago.

[@AkilWingate]

I love them to bits. This is one saaaaaaangin married couple! And many many years ago Patti, Gerald Levert (RIP) and Tanya shared the stage. Look how Tanya has come full circle.

[@bst3132]

Been on repeat for.weeks!!❤❤❤

[@japerkins3565]

Thank God for the African Diaspora - the blessings of soul, music, spiritual discernment, love, forgiveness, endurance, the love of God, and our shared consciousness
