I agree with you. LaBelle has a knack for bringing out the best in others during duets. She forced Cindi to sing, probably unlike she'd ever sung before! It's a testament to Lauper's talent that she didn't shrink under pressure and allow LaBelle to take over. I love how Cindi goes into the high part at approx. 4:22 and Patti says, "...sing!" Brilliant performance.

I remember seeing this special. Patti Labelle had a series of guests on and did a "duet" with each one, which pretty much meant vocally dominating one guest after another. I recall poor little Amy Grant standing onstage looking miserable and confused. Then out came the one guest who could keep up with her, Cyndi Lauper. I don't think people expected it because Lauper used a lot of hiccuppy vocal affectations when she first broke nationally, but I had heard her with Blue Angel and knew she had as much power as Labelle. Great, great duet, one of the best ever.
