I can die happy now. I played Lady Marmalade and four other songs onstage with Patti Labelle last night! She is 62 years old. She sang all her songs in the original keys and belted them as hard as she did 30 years ago. Her pitch was excellent despite having literally *NO VOICE* the day before at rehearsals. A consummate professional. She absolutely ROCKED the house down. This woman's soul is so deep as to be immeasurable.
The audience were invited guests for a fund-raiser and numbered about 250, but Miss Labelle performed as if it she was live at Wembley in front of 80,000 people. She is one of the all-time greatest singers I have ever heard and she is as sweet as she can be. Absolutely a career highlight for me.
Why is this LEGEND not in the Rock Hall yet?
I NOMINATE PATTI LABELLE
