Patti LaBelle - Live! One Night Only (2000)

One of R&B's greatest divas, Patti LaBelle has been one of the finest vocalists in soul music (perhaps second only to her mentor Aretha Franklin) in a career that's spanned five decades. Filmed at New York City's Manhattan Center, "Live! One Night Only" showcases Patti at her best, and features duets with some of her more talented friends, including Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey. It's the live that won her both Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance and NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Performance.

If you've never seen Patti, she's a rare performer who takes you to the clouds with her first note, and doesn't let you back down until a few days after the show is over. Act I concludes with a performance of You Are My Friend/Lord's Side that'll make you swear you see Jesus clappin' his hands. Act II is Patti at her best! Backed by a full orchestra, Patti covers songs from Edith Piaf, Dionne Warwick, Ashford & Simpson and others. She closes out with a powerhouse performance of Over the Rainbow/I Believe I Can Fly. Even superstars Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey join in the fun. You'll laugh, you'll cry and then you'll start the show all over again just to experience it one more time. ~Amazon customer
