Patti Labelle - Somewhere Over the Rainbow - One Night Only HD

Patti sings in my opinion one of the best Versions of Somewhere over the Rainbow on her Live one Night only Tour.

[@ff2ff263]

Patti was in her late 50s here and her voice was still pure fire, belting upper 5th octave notes. What exceptional an vocalist

[@sryder8312]

Late 50s was not old. Whats remarkable is her still doing this at 70

[@alesangelalbizu74]

you're so right, I saw her 2 weeks ago now in 2018 and she was belting

[@alesangelalbizu74]

so true she had/has such a nice body for her age

[@kennethmason9790]

She was 51 years old ... I know I saw this show both May 43

[@sryder8312]

In the mid 1990s in Buffalo, I saw her live. Despite a massive snowstorm that shut down the entire city,s he had it announced that she would be at the downtown theater at 8pm--on TV and radio. We get there, about 200 of us who lived close enough within the city to take the tram/train and when she came on stage an saw us in our number ticketed seats she made us all come forward, from balconies and back rows to fill up the first 10 rows in the 1000 seater auditorium and gave an intimate concert of amazing ability to us. She took off her makeup, took pictures, gave away her shoes and then because she knew we'd made an effort---she put down the mic and showed us what singing was---she did this 8 octave ladder thing where she would sing a note and then graduate it up and down and then to another level but couldn't use the mic with it because it would hurt our ears. I have never seen anything from a human being as remarkable. (The closest is when I saw Prince do this on a guitar---between 20-30 different songs switching on notes to differing songs but the same note within each song.) Her musicality, timing, pitch control and just fun and play (like Prince's) has made her something that I as a teenager to now an adult could deeply appreciate.

[@sherikalang8662]

Wow! What an amazing story...make sure you pass that on to your kids and grand kids. I would have just cried to be in her presence. Thank you for sharing.

Saw her do this in Atlantic City - she is absolutely amazing

[@inesspanni]

What a wonderful story!!! And all the reasons Prince adored & revered Ms Patti LaBelle!!!💖💜💖💜

[@anthonyenglish8092]

I'm not being biased just because Patti's a Philly girl. She is by far one of the most amazing voices EVER to hit a stage

[@sunrae7680]

She had a store on Walnut St, downtown. She came out, I said "hello Miss Patti." She said, "Hi Sweetheart." I was good. ❤🔥

I don’t care what anybody says patti is the best singer of all time

[@jwitherspoon8885]

I love how she starts off extra as hell. Like she's not even on the stage yet and she's already singing her face off.

[@liltony4233]

That's the epitome of "Grand Entrance"! That's also a staple of hers where you hear her before you see her. Look at the tributes to Smokey Robinson and Barry White. Those are just a couple of televised performances, but she still does that to this day at her concerts.

[@michaelleonbrownjr.2719]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes, I love me some Patti LaBelle!!!!!

Many artists have sung this song but nobody can sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow like Queen Patti. they don't come close.

[@1ZAMOT]

This IS the queen! I don't care what anyone says.

[@62946magic]

Patti got "gymnastic vocal chords". She can sing anything and make it sound passionate, dramatic and convincingly real.

That's right! Give folks they flowers while they are still here on Earth to enjoy them. Don't wait until they are dead and gone to show them how much they are loved!

My sister took me to see Patti on Broadway for my Birthday...Best present ever

[@cameronhomer1000]

I had the unbelievable opportunity to chauffer Patti when she was giving a concert in Rochester, NY. She was very tired from being on the road for I have no idea how many days. Still she was a woman of grace and class. When we arrived at the concert hall, she was helped up to the stage door. After going inside and she was introduced, she was suddenly filled more energy than I have ever witnessed before. She delivered an amazing concert for over an hour and left everyone wanting more. When the show was over, she was helped back into the limousine and nearly collapsed, having given all that she had to those who came to hear her sing. I drove many celebrities and bands around in that limousine. Not one of them had the abilities of Patti Labelle. Though I did not have the opportunity to be introduced to her, I will forever remember her ability to give all of her heart and soul to her audience. I am in awe and have drawn upon that night when I have felt that there was nothing left inside me and no way to go on. Thank you Patti for all you gave us that night.
