What a great performance! Get a load of LaBelle's hair back then! The lyrics to this song, however, always cracked me up.

"You are so beautiful... to me."

It's like, yeah - you're butt ugly to others... but to me, you're beautiful.

Norma should go down in History as the most Creative hairstylist in the 20th Century...She took hair and made it a work of Art...A lot of Patti's hair-designs looked difficult and had you wondering "how the Hell did she do that?"....The question that everybody always wonders is How she got the Hair to stand-up and not move...I think Patti said she sprayed the hair pieces and put them in the freezer....LOL...That's some work and dedication right there...

I LOVE THIS!

The Pattie voice before she hits the stage....ya know she's going act up.....At 1:31 I beleive that is the loudest I ever heard Joe sing and I"m like yeah dude do your thing.... 1:39 her control on that note she could have blew that one to the moon to but she didn't .....2:12 the little skips of her feet....The Matador/Flamenco Moment at 2:25, honey just does something to my bones....3:17 not backing down Mr. Cocker YASSSS MF sing it.....3:31 AWW Shit The holy ghost wings have taketh OVA lol .....3:55 the cat claws to finish it off.

As you see I have watched this many times and thought I would share my feelings step by step. My fathere loved Joe and Pattie and I watched this with him. This performance is so special to me and brings me much joy as well.

oh I forgot....Besides this one her performance 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for Wangari Maathai "A Change is Gonna Come"... I had read she was sick but performed to honor a great activist as Mrs. Maathai asked personally. Pattie tore the roof off that venue. I don't know how to post videos but if ya watch at 4:20 the knees shake, the shoes fly and Patti unleashes what we expect for her to do! I can watch it over and over and have.
