The House I Live In - Patti LaBelle

[@malcolmbrown-herrera7497]

The greatest thing about Patti LaBelle is she would do her best to hold discipline and poise, but honey that GOSPEL is going to come through and MOTHER is going to serve us well. She is a universal treasure.

[@williammartinez840]

That Was A Masterpiece . And my favorite version of this song. Big props to the Queen Of Rhythm & Blues, the incomparable Patti Labelle

[@i_am_legend7827]

They should have modeled a black Mattel Barbie Doll after Patti with this attire and hair! I’m sure Bob Mackie has his hands in this look! A true porcelain doll! Just Gorgeous! There will never be another Patti LaBelle! You have to be sure of who you are to stand and driver such greatness!

[@patgorden5002]

Thank you for that idea I think I'm going to tell Patti about that!

[@jojojr1679]

@@patgorden5002 you know her personally?

[@jojojr1679]

So we not gonna talk about how her note at 3:06 drowned out the whole choir!? The epitome of power! She’s a true Dramatic Soprano!

[@cajcatt9571]

She never sings the same song the same way twice. no autotune!!

[@Roshon1114]

Exactly …… that the song stylist aspect most singers are lacking today

[@falangja17]

I TELL U, IT'S A BIG COMPETITION BETWEEN THIS RENDITION & THE VERSION PATTI LABELLE TRIBUTED TO FRANK SINATRA ON HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY!!! AMAZING!!! Beautiful attire from head to toe thhough!!!! Go Patti!!!

[@miuzefreak]

she looks like a lion ... the hair is as big as her voice ... what a grandiose performance ... she is the ultimate powerful voice !

[@shydogg01]

Mahalia Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle. These are some women who set the gold standard in my opinion. Patti is my favorite. I love this performance. It was once said by another famous singer that Patti is from another world. She seems to create notes unreachable from Earthly beings.

[@williammartinez840]

I think it was Luther who said that.

[@jamiengaddis8416]

[@zanthus7]

I can't even find the right words to describe how I'm feeling after hearing that because Wow, Incredible, Overwhelmed, Dazed just do not seem adequate enough to describe the power of Miss Patti.

[@EricBrownBey]

Love It! Miss Patti! She looks Stunning, I love her Hair, Dress, and Shoulder Pads.

That note she hits at 3:07! WOW!!!!!!

[@Pachelbel_PaperDarts]

Such a gorgeous strings ladden version!!! LOVE U PATTI!!

[@mussaqlover1]

I think the version she did on Frank Sinatra's birthday party is much more impressive sounding.

[@williammartinez840]

I thought so too, this is my favorite version she is singing in Philly/ hometown Convention Center I think, for the Bicentennial or 4th of July.this was before she sang for Frank

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

Bless Him Patti!

[@i_am_legend7827]

Is this where her God Daughter Mariah got the hand motions from? Patti directs, collects, gathers, chokehold, give flights to her notes with the flutter, clasp, pointing SHES SUPERIOR! An anomaly! ♥️🔥

[@Tenshi659]

First time I heard this version and it was different from the Tribute to Frank. I love both but the arrangement here gives a Disney movie-like, broadway vibe. Soothing and awesome. And Don't get me started on how her voice is so resonant in this version. Ms. Patti is superb as always

[@williammartinez840]

My favorite version. She just standing there flat footed and singing her natural behind off.

i must agree with you patti was in perfect voice on this video and those notes flowed from her like magic! NOWADAYS with the changes and affects menonpause has had on patti makes it seem like it's harder for her to get up there like she use to! i agree with you on that! but none the less she will still blow them socks off! unlike aretha franklin patti has maintained the foundation of her voice.

[@williammartinez840]

None of them can sing like they used to, but none of them could ever sing like Patti.

[@DonDiva4u03]

I think this one is more discipline with Patti I think the one she did for his birthday was more GOSPEL this one is more Presenting to the President ( White) back in the days.

well true, but its cause whitney sings from the back of her throat like cristina, thats why they sound oh so mighty-powerful, and they are, its just that celine and mariah sings mainly from their DIAPHRAM.....thats all...comment back!
