Patti Labelle - Stay In My Corner

Patti Labelle - Stay in My Corner [Arsenio Hall] from her wonderful album Gems! Simply Beautiful and Deep, 6 Patti is untouchable!

[@LaBelleObamafan4life]

Patti was 50 years old when she did this. Most old school singers or singers period were vocally finished by this age. Patti on the other hand was still in her prime. That's when you know you're blessed and your voice is a gift from GOD.

[@shortyt9060]

That’s because she never smoked or did drugs.... just drink wine occasionally but she is the best

[@iamtrawayne1558]

@@keithbeard5539 ofc someone would mention Aretha Franklin in a Patti video .

[@AntonioJLee]

Right! A lot of her vocal peers didn't have the vocal stamina that she displays here in their 40s and 50s. Patti gets her rest, doesn't drink, smoke or do any drugs. She has preserved that voice so well.

I HAD TO HUG MYSELF AFTER LISTENING TO THIS!

Whenever Patti hits that “whew” at the very end of her songs she knows she just tore the roof of yet another building especially when she sees those people standing in awe!!!❤️

Facts

[@nesq4104]

I repeated this like 1000 times on VHS back in the day. Was so mesmerized by this performance. Background singers were so on point, and when she went off forget it! I miss James bud Ellison. He use to take her to that special place

[@baobabs727]

Me too. I watched it when it first aired, taped it and watched that tape for probably 10 years.

[@PattiSmurf30]

If I were being punished and was told to stand in the corner, if it were the corner she was singing about in this song. I would LIVE in that corner!!!!! Yes giving me LIFE!!!

[@heymarcel1233]

Patti killed this performance and the studio version. I sang background vocals on the studio version and to be there while she was recording was incredible! This woman is heaven sent. She truly is legendary. I witnessed it first hand.

[@AntonioJLee]

WOW!!! I can imagine the energy in that studio! She wore that track out!

[@Bradford196]

I miss my friend friend Tommie Johnson may he RIP ❤

You know your bad when you sing your own background vocals

[@shawnm.b.922]

[@ajaycbaby8837]

This is by far one of the best televised live powerhouse vocal performances of all time. Everytime she gets to the climax of this song I find myself rocking side to side. Those vocals hit me everytime.

[@sylvesterrobinson7507]

I have this in my top 15 live Patti performances and that list was hard to come up with cause she's so great.

[@jordanroebuck4944]

What’s ur list out of curiosity

[@nesq4104]

My top performances would be not in order 1. Stay in my corner, 2. Over the rainbow red dress mlk 3. Arsenio hall melody - over the rainbow/when you've been blessed 4. You'll never walk alone- purple dress big hair 5. The house I live in Frank Sinatra - black dress 6. Lover man - silver dress 7. You are my friend - white suit 8. Change is gonna come green dress, 9. O holy night - black dress 10. Abraham Martin and John. 11. Superwoman - Oprah 12. Be yourself live aid. There is a few more lol. But these are some of my top live favorites/best performances of a particular song.

[@jordanroebuck4944]

The house I live in is a great pull👏🏾loved that one

[@ms.enchantress3478]

She sounds JUST as GREAT as she did on the CD!!!!! My girl!

[@jordanroebuck4944]

Behind the great power that she has, her freaking lungs are made of steel! There’s no other explanation for her inhuman ability to hold notes for 20 plus seconds over decades. That breath control is something different

[@ANDREOFDALLAS]

The volume is perfect.

Put some respect on her name.

this is probably my favorite song of patti's. She is the best performer I know. She brings it everytime. Her vocals make no sense. Crazy Ms. Patti, CRAZY!!!

[@shortyt9060]

She’s simply the best

[@hubbellgardner]

She hurts my heart... and uplifts it TOO - Gawd bless you Miss Patti !! A genuine heartbreaking talent !!!

[@neetrab]

lol! Glad she said that because it's my favorite also. She had lots of good songs on that gems album.

[@whitephoenixofcrown]

i pray God would bless ms. Patti with more years of healthy and safe life. she is an inspiration to all of us. screaming? grandstanding? i don't think so. Patti LaBelle, unlike most of us- is NOT insecure to be herself and do her thing with all of God's given talent on her. GO MS. PATTI!!!!! The world loves you.

[@christopherdavis3674]

When Arsenio Hall bowed on his knees and kiss her foot, it's a indication of how bad she murdered that song. That's on GAWD!

[@chrisbrinkley8921]

QUEEN PATTI!

[@neetrab]

i see this video like.. everyday.. Love this Gospel sounding song... very much made for her voice. I wore this song out and still wearing it out in my cd player... And yes she holds that word stay forever on the cd. Don't know how in the world she does it. Love it!

[@charlesjeffery1155]

This was between 92, 94, I think the album was called Gems

[@patgorden5002]

1994

This is Patti at her best. The original by The Dells is great, but Ms. Patti took it three levels beyond. Each and every performance she gives is with her best. She's an institution!

I love all my gospel Divas but good God nobody just Nobody Does it Like Patti. she just brings so much excitement to it like she's going to bust if she don't get that note out

[@neetrab]

Le'andria Johnson is just as good.

[@MrBarrywes]

@@neetrab nope. even though I love Lele and I think she's going to sing. When I'm talking about has to do with performance not just your voice. That's why even Karen can't compare and you know nobody out blows Karen

That Jems CD was on her best albums

[@stephenchucky]

one of my faves of all time!

[@neetrab]

@JacksonObamafan4life - omg.. isn't her studio version crazy? That is the best. Can't help but listen to that version over and over and over again...and yes, she holds that note for the longest time.

[@PistolPackinGrandpa]

I agree but not longer than her live versions of "If You Asked Me To"

And another thing, Patti looked gorgeous in this performance. Hope to have real beauty like that when I'm 50.....(Patti cut a serious step @2:59 - 3:03 LOL)

[@udiwki]

Her vocal range is really on here... they really arranged this song because on the album it's not that powerful!

I know right!

@LaBelleObamafan4life - didn't she look great. everytime i see this video i think to myself of how gorgeous she look...matches her voice and performance here.

[@QueenOldSkool]

@THEOBC2315 Okay so what is your point. In Patti's studio version she held that not for 24 seconds and it was on key. But thats like saying Mariah Carry can sing because Patti is always on key.

[@nyeechijohnson1824]

QueenOldSkool She actually held the note for 1 minute and 38 seconds. Check your math

[@rbsoulcindy]

This is for you Ai Ren ......... missing our connection...... xoxo

[@DonDiva4u03]

Someone has to help me find her in white singing John, Abraham and Martin Please I need that video.

[@THEOBC2315]

nice version, but the ULTIMATE version, the one that is and remain and will always remain the all time greatest version is the one by the Dells with Marvin Junior and Johnny Carter singing lead. Marvin Junior does his "long note" (that's what he calls it) and in this version it is an amazing 23 seconds that he holds that long note, on key i might add. The Mighty, Mighty Dells have done this song to perfection.

[@laidyeh]

Makiba08 I know that's right, and she gets better with time.

[@MrStyle23]

I respect your opinion but The Dells with Marvin Junior on lead cannot be touched. His powerful rough baritone with Johnny Funches on tenor with that unique strong tenor cannot be touched especially with the rest of The Dells harmony on background. However, Patti did do the song justice.

[@avwhite]

Nope *sad face*
