Patti LaBelle: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
NPR Music's Tiny Desk series will celebrate Black History Month with Tiny Desk (home) concerts featuring legends in the world of R&B, jazz, gospel, and hip-hop. Each artist in this legacy lineup has helped to define Black music as we know it and will be performing a Tiny Desk concert for the first time.
Bobby Carter | February 23, 2022
The first song in Patti LaBelle's Tiny Desk (home) concert sets the tone and quickly sums up the entire 15-minute performance. "Something Special (Is Gonna Happen Tonight)" from her 1986 album Winner In You is a highlight from one of many chapters in her fabulous career. A backstage corner of a concert hall in Austin, Texas, is transformed into Patti's world, furnished with a throne, flowers and trunks full of shoes. Options are a must, given a knack for kicking off her shoes during shows. The entire band managed to fit onto the set: thirteen people, including fierce background vocals, keys, horns and more, to recreate some of the best from the Godmother of Soul.
LaBelle and company go straight into hits mode after the first number. "Love, Need and Want You" is delivered with the same vibrancy as the 1983 original, with a wink to another hit, "Dilemma," by Nelly, who sampled it 19 years later. The ballads continue with "If Only You Knew." She closes with the anthem "Lady Marmalade," which was also revived in the early 2000s by Christina Aguilera, Mya, Pink and Lil' Kim.
Ms. Patti had already made Black History with Cindy Birdsong, Sara Dash and Nona Hendryx as the powerhouse group Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles (later Labelle). After the group disbanded, she forged through on her own as a pioneer in music, style and entrepreneurship. Sixty years and counting. Whether big stage or Tiny Desk, the standard-bearing icon continues to exude elegance and grace as a performer.

@@williemoore756 Let me make something clear. I love Patti, but I have to agree that her voice is pretty much gone. And it makes me sad. Even in her lower range she can't seem to stay on key. It breaks my heart to say this about my favorite diva, but it's true. She's almost 80 now and I guess all the belting has finally taken it's toll. But let me be clear she will always be one of my favorite performers even if she's not 100 percent. She doesn't have anything to prove. She has more than proven herself over the years. You only have to do your research and see for yourself. I guess it's true what they say all good things must come to an end. But if Patti could hit a note from her grave I hope I am lucky enough to be around to hear it. Because she epitomizes class.

Watched El Debarge (amazing!!) and went to their (NPR's) channel to find more. When I saw hers, I was breaking my knuckles to press click. She did not disappoint. I sing, and knew nearly all those songs almost note for note (all but the first one) so you should have seen a fan doing lead alongside Ms. Patti (you know she changes it up so I figured I'd sing the original arrangement while she did her thing). Well, you should have seen yours truly jump back when she hit those notes.😳😱😍 Threw me off key, made my voice strain trying to keep up and MADE me shut up and watch the genius at work.😜 It was as if she was saying: "Step aside jit and let the OGs show you how it's done."😂 She showed me, alright. Flawless!! Islet Brotgers next, Lord willing.
Patti's vocal control is legendary. If she can't hit the note with her chest voice, she reaches into her head voice and blows you away with that. She still can sing in the rafters. Yaw better kneel down and show some respect.

Her headvoice is so clean, free and versatile. She's pushing 80 and it's so impressive. Obviously her belting voice is greatly diminished, focusing on a lighter mix. However I still enjoy this from a woman who's been doing it over 60 years!

For Real. If its Karaoke night or a local talent show .. Sing. - If its a Performance .. you better Sang. Wake up the ancestors and the yet, to be born and bring them chea'. I guarantee 15 years from now - if u come back to this page in and look at the most recent comments - theres going to be some kid that wasnt even born in 2022 saying .. "Man, i feel like i was there with them ..like they were playing and singing with and for me". - Very perceptive kid.
Ran over here just for this! Patti knows her vocal limitations and handles them well. She is STILL a force to be reckoned with! ❤❤❤

She did for this performance. Let’s hope she keeps it up. She’s proved herself. She doesn’t need to try to hit notes from back in the day🏳️🌈

Right?!? She could just say she's 50 plus and I'd buy it! However, if I looked and sounded THIS GOOD at 77, I'd want people to know my age
Yes, yes, and yes Miss Patti.....Love you. Good to see Ms. Debbie Henry, and Ms. Brenda Roy!!! Those are keepers! Patti will be 78 years old. God has his hand on you, honey. Where are my background singers?
YES!!! Ms. Patti sounds so good. This band is amazing.. And can we give it up one time for these background vocalists? They are killing it! Now NPR--your mission is to get Ms. Gladys Knight on Tiny Desk.

Why this isn’t over a million views is beyond me!!!
When your a legend and ain't really gotta sang and let yo background do alll the work cuz allllll yo music done stood the test of time. PATTI IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.
I watched this with my children today! Thank you Auntie Patti for all you have done for our culture! My children learned their ABC's from you as well. You look FABULOUS! and you are definitely GOALS!🔥 Kudos to the background singers and band. If only you knew how much we LOVE YOU! ❤️ 💐💐💐💐👑
Y'all, Ms Patti is 77 and looks like she's in her 50s. And she sounds fantastic!!!
The way music runs through her whole body! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When Ms Patti LaBelle hits those high notes you know where she's going.. where you can't go...and where no one's ever been ....but her!!! Just sit back and enjoy that's all we can do! This is GREAT!!!! Go Patti!!GO!
Crazy that the same lady, Debbie Henry, from that infamous “WMBS” performance from the 90s is still singing with her today. Amazing set!

Giving ALL that was SUPPOSED TO BE GAVE! C’MON MISS PATTY!
My mom will turn 72 in April. She just had heart surgery. Sending her this for inspiration!💜Love you Mom💜
Patty said I’ll do the Tiny Desk but in my own home! Diva!
Kennedy Center Honors come on! Let Patti in! Her legacy lives on with her great passion for music.

This is classic American music at its finest. Patti came with her band and burnt down the Tiny desk stage. Why she do that to us? 👏🏾
Can we please give the Queen and the band a round of applause for real music . The arrangement, vocalists, and musicians were A1!!!!!!!!!!! MORE!

Sang Ms. Pattie! Youngins take note, this is what longevity in the business looks like... Also, come through background singers. 😍
