Patti Labelle - Isn't It A Shame


I love this song. It is one of my favorites from her. I didn't know that it was the last track recorded by Labelle as a group.

Not really. I don't think Prince and Patti had that great of chemistry. The stuff they did together was ok, but nothing special.

Thanks.

Actually I finally found it on IMEEM. biggrin

Patti kicks butt on the song...as I knew she would. Before, I had only heard snippets on Patti's documentaries, lol.

they did nothing 2gether: i mean i don't think they ever were in a studio 2gether, back in the 80's Prince used 2 sent tapes of songs and the artists only rerecorded the vocals and i think that's how it happened with Patti.

What do you expect? Patti is a singer and NOT a musician. So, they DID work together.

What i meant is that they didn't discuss the choice of songs and the arrangments like Prince did, 4 example, with Chaka Khan on "Come 2 My House", 4 Patti, Prince choose the songs and send them and Patti took 'em the way they were and added vocals. Therefore these 3 songs tell nothing about the alchemy thay could or could not xist between them in a studio.
