LYRICALLY SPEAKING: PATTI LABELLE

[@BrianSummers-g6y]

The Forest green and silver spacesuit she wore on Show Train was my favorite and my favorite lady Marmalade performance by LABELLE

[@nr30199]

"Going Down Makes Me Shiver" ?? Ma'am??🤔😂😂😂. Big shout to my absolute favorite singer Patti Labelle 80 years YOUNG!! Keep singing❤❤

[@KevinETaylor]

That song got me the worst whooping. I sang it and YOU TURN ME ON at the top of my lungs, just thinking the words were literal--GOING DOWN TO YOUR RIVER MAKES ME SHIVER AND THE CHILL OF THE WATER MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD and I COME LIKE THE POURING RAIN, EACH TIME YOU CALL MY NAME! I didn't know anything about lyrics and metaphors and wordplay and because I was so smart, my mother SWORE THAT I KNEW, at 11 LOL

[@DareShowPodcast]

It would be nice if interviewers asked her more about budd and their working process/relationship. Being that he produced like 80% of her albums.

[@colortura]

Thank you Kevin for sharing this wonderful documentary. Please upload more Rachelle Ferrell content.

[@KevinETaylor]

More to come!

Patti LaBelle's version of If You Asked Me To should have been Grammy Nominated and / or peaked at the top of the charts. No excuses.

[@carolynbrown3766]

I agree but just about all my friends and my family members liked Celine’s version better. I like both versions but I like Patti’s better.

The diana ross motown thing, was that Diana making a big deal about it or was it the media making a big deal about it?

[@patgorden5002]

The media

[@KevinETaylor]

They love to stir up rivalry. They healed that FOREVER AGO. People had the visuals of PATTI + DIANA at Motown reunion and wanted to see a battle and those QUEENS were long past that.

[@BrianSummers-g6y]

Diana ask Patti to sing , and gave her the mike, Diana Ross knows what Patti LaBelle, can do let's be real she wasn't worried about that, If it a Motown production Diana wants it to be the best it can be.
