nelson mandela, an international tribute for a free south africa, wembley, GB, april 16, 1990

[@sistamaryclarence]

Patti is a Legend who doesn’t get enough credit for her dancing and just plain ol stage presence entertainment.. I could watch auntie Patti in the late 80’s and 90’s live all day long

[@TheDTJ73]

Patti be JAMMING! I enjoy her every time I see her sing. The VOICE , The Energy and Control... true QUEEN!!!! Love you Patti.

[@Misskelli]

She was definitely being her self this nite...I love when she hopped on the one foot in that heel!!!!.. took a lot of concentration to do that and sing at the same time...

[@travonjones]

How you hop on one foot and still sing your ass off ! Only patti can do that

[@presidentbarackobama9137]

You know you're a pro when your mind just thinks of something and stick with it and master it! I hope more of her clips go viral. She had a microphone with a cord and hopped right along!!!

[@JimRockfordFiles]

Interesting...to see the drummer at that time John Paris (who nows plays for Earth Wind Fire) singing backup and not on the drums.

[@patgorden5002]

I'm glad you notice that I said the same thing but I wasn't for sure that was him thank you for clarifying that.

[@willmartinez5496]

He is a bad dude.

NO AFRICAN AMERICAN ENTERTAINER TODAY CAN EVER COMPETE WITH THIS POWERHOUSE!!! Nicki, Lil Kim, you're a joke. Patti LaBelle is incredible! This is one classy, beautiful and talented woman!

[@travonjones]

I totally agree! Total class! all patti had to do was put on a gown and show a little leg and sing and entertain the people! not strip tease and practically screw on stage just to get audience participation!

[@simistop3964]

Color doesn't matter here.... Talent is just talent

[@victorlatimer1009]

Thank you to the great Thelma Houston and the great Bud Ellison & Bunny Hull, for writing this song they wrote this song for Patti LaBelle's album be yourself ! Thelma Houston is the same Thelma Houston that sings Don't leave me This Way. There is a version of Thelma singing this song as well it's featured at a Dionne Warwick concert check it out if you can. By the way, Miss Patti Labelle Kicking It Up On The Good Foot Goin In & Moving Through, While Turning It Out Vocally Is Everything!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ #ICONICALWAYS!!!❤

There used to be a full clip on KZbin with all three songs she performed here, this was followed by Oh People, and Over the Rainbow? She pulled off one of the white sleeves from her gown and twirled it around in the air!! 😂🤩🎶

GOD is a woman.....

[@dunnetin1]

@lex1eleven This was in London England - at Wembley Stadium, and not in South Africa - although they had a live television link to S.A. which was why Patti says Good Evening to them!

[@darcellandre]

love it

[@ynohtnaed]

Can we get more of this??? WOW!

[@justBenny]

wouldn't hurt to pay ms houston the respect she deserves - whatever your preferred songstress is. patti's performance was brilliant - and so was whitney's!

[@kele2us]

Hey, Carol King was one of Patti's backup singers, anyone know for how long.

[@mylenh]

[@patgorden5002]

SHE DID THAT!
