Patti LaBelle - Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Live Aid 1985)

[@nikkil2580]

I was 13 when this was live. It changed my life. I didnt listen to it again until it came out on dvd some 30ish years later and I had still remembered it note for note. Thats is how indelibly it seared itself into my soul. 13 year old me connected with a higher power that day and showed me the whole dimesion of myself that is music and how music can connect you to something greater than yourself and be a spiritual outlet.

[@BeWestley]

I was 13 as well watching this concert and had the exact same reaction- never heard anyone sing like that before and has been my favorite singer ever since

[@CountryCowboy008]

Miss Patti has no chill. Even at the beginning, she already gave a wig snatching note. Wow.

[@jaye212]

After that performance, we old folks in church would say, "she walked the dog". Wasn't nothin left to do.

[@invisible6433]

The way she still singing behind the stage 😂❤

[@phantom0456]

I can’t imagine a group benefit concert put on nowadays with modern bands that would be anywhere near as memorable or talented… and I was only 2 when Live Aid 1985 happened. I truly envy anybody who actually got to watch this magic while it was happening.

[@SallyWilliams]

because they all need autotune & pitch controle when performing "live"

[@SallyWilliams]

Her epic performance at Live Aid gave her such a well deserved comeback & a mass of new fans all over the world.

Fantasia’s version of You Are My Friend did Patti justice. Patti stood up before she finished the song. Patti is one of a kind.

Patti is the Greatest Lady I have listened to many years the months I was in the hospital her music got me thru tough times

[@atato8880]

I am watching 'The Wizard of Oz' now & I had to find Patti version. I remember when Ms. Patti did her version I asked my mom how did I know this song. Her gifted voice is Golden. The emotion Ms. Patti has given this song I am feeling now. It is love and hope, something we need today.

The Queen Of All Divas. She tore that song a brand new one. The only reason I brought the Live Aid dvd. And everyone has been attempting some variance of her version since she recorded it .

[@IAmRaine1980]

Anybody who has something negative to say about Patti's style of singing doesn't season their food. Hell, probably puts raisins in their potato salad too. 😒

Everyone has their own taste in music/singing for sure. One thing that can’t be disputed is that God gave Patti a gift and she uses it to the fullest. She is on the top 100 singers of all time list, where she rightfully belongs.

[@kctaylorsings]

It's quite ignorant to me how so many lower level demons can criric Patti LaBelle's Vocal Performances throughout her career, but they won't do it to the leading singers of today. Make it make sense. This Queen has been singing her fave off and her heart out for over sixty years, show some respect. I'd like to see any of the leading singers kerp their clothes on and sing live for an hour show. This lady, this Philadelphia Soul, Legend of Soul and American Pop Music had paied her dues, slayed for yesrs and owe nobody anything.

It IS from Live Aid! It may not have made it to DVD but there were millions of us with a stack of blank tapes and VCR! I recorded the whole thing.....six full tapes and I've still got them. Her set was FABULOUS (not my kind of music at all). I don't like the vocal gymnastics either but she put her heart, soul and every emotion going into that performance. She even carried on singing when her mic failed (and the crowd could still hear her!).
