Patti LaBelle and the Sweeties - How Great Thou Art

[@sanderdegroot6628]

Can't tell you how happy I am that you posted this🥰🥰🥰!! Momma P came to the Netherlands (Rotterdam) in 1989 and lucky me was in the audience! Six months later it was aired, and somehow I was lucky (and quickly) enough to tape it on a cassette. Unlucky enough, that divice of course vanished during the 35 years to follow. Never ever could find this acapella-version ever again, and I do have been looking! And now you give me this Treasure. Thank you so, so much Mo, you made my day - and I mean really, really BIG time🙏😊.

You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear this. I’m also very jealous you got to see 80s Patti live haha

[@newman8180]

People think Patti is all about the big, belting, high notes, but here she proves that her soft low notes are just as powerful and beautiful. And the harmonies are amazing.

Mama has range!!!

[@PattiLaBelleFan]

Exactly! She is a vocal genius!

[@youmans43101]

She did this song with The Sweeties in Savannah Georgia and the girl behind me passed out. They had to carry her out of her seat. I felt the spirit as well.

[@MichaelJohnson-wk8tk]

I saw Patti do this in Atlanta during that same tour. It was simply amazing. She is definitely one of the GOATS!

Keep them coming 😅

[@JaySmith-mz7vg]

Well, this certainly showcases her vocal agility.

Oh my, my, my! Where did this recording come from? This is Patti at her best. I wish I could see the video. Please post the video! 🙏

[@Mo-pl4ty]

I don’t have the video unfortunately. Not sure if it was even recorded.

[@newman8180]

@@Mo-pl4ty Isn't it ironic that some of Patti's best performances are not recorded.

[@Mo-pl4ty]

@@newman8180 I know! I’ll try to see whatever I can find that is not posted on KZbin and put it here.

[@lrs327]

@@Mo-pl4tywe will be so grateful!

[@nesq4104]

I bought this on cd on eBay back in the early 2000s no video exists as far as I know either. Or I would have had it !

Magnifique

[@marcmurray7244]

Thank you Mo! My favorite performance of hers. Do you have Forever Young as well?

[@Mo-pl4ty]

You're welcome. No, unfortunately I don't.
