@@Dplol-gf1io I love them both. What is incredible about Lauper is that she is like a chameleon in her way of singing, style, and also her looks. She seems like a different singer when you listen to different songs from her. If you look at "Right track wrong train", then "My first night without you", then "Money changes eveirything" , and then here with Patty singing soul improvisations Thats is strange and amazing. But I love Patty and I find her amazing too. They are two great singers.
You can't help but love Patti's enthusiasm when she performs with someone she genuinely likes. She somehow does everything to make the other person sound even better than they normally do. Not that Cyndi needed it tho. She blew both of the songs out of the water. Amazing performance from both ladies.
I just really love how Patti doesn't need to outshine anyone she sings with. She gives them space and opportunity to sing and do what they feel. No matter how impressive she sings, it never feels to be intended to seize the spotlight for her own. She basically is an amazing duet partner.
@@popland1977 💯❗cyndi SANGS!!! I Remenber watching this when youtube first came out and immediately fell in love with Cyndi. Patti's my fav! And cyndi next!! He energy and LOVE is UNMATCHED!
If your suggesting Patti can out sing Cyndi then your wrong ....Cyndi likes to tell a story while Patti over sings everything........kinda like Jennifer Hudson
I remember watching this on TV.... Patti was singing like a wicked diva, then Cyndi took me by surprise coming out the side like a mad women. It was awesome, crazy, and magical at the same time!! I love these ladies!!
This was wonderful. Never in my life have I seen Patti subdued and take a back seat, let alone the bottom of a harmony. Didn't know she had that capacity.
+Chris Green :-O disagree with you on that though ! There's a live version of Labelle singing Lady Marmalade on " Don Kirshner's Rock Concert & They "Labelle" " Turned It Up & Turned It Out !" Also there are many versions of. Patti Labelle sanging the song sixtynine ways to Sunday !
Patti typically has the most “out there” voice, so really, when it is time to “get down and dirty”, Patti is typically the only one who has the capability/bravery to actually slay Patti definitely doesn’t try to “run the show” like Aretha Franklin does (even though I love Aretha, anyone who reads this knows that I’m not lying when I say that Patti practices more restraint)
I wasn't following Cyndi Lauper's work very closely, besides the hits and her kooky persona, until I saw this when it first aired and I was blown away by her ability to sing so well with the great Patti Labelle. They just sang the living shit out of those two songs. I had no idea she had such a great voice. I've remembered this performance ever since and it's so great that you posted this so I could watch it again. Thanks!
Mad respect for Cyndy Lauper. Anybody that can keep up with Patti LaBelle the way she did is insanely good. Time After Time was otherworldly. When their voices locked together in harmony on the choruses...it was a sound like I’ve never heard.
Cyndi is mad talented. She never gets the praise she deserves. She can sing literally anything. Memphis Blues 🤯 I’ve been deep diving into this very thing. Ha. Her vocal techniques are incredible and absolutely impossible for many singers. Her voice is so unique that I think sometimes this is overlooked. Anyway… can you tell I’ve gone down the rabbit hole? 😂
They’re like two kids on the stage, so playful and loving each other’s company. You can feel the genuine friendship they have. Two talented beauties proving that beneath the skin, we’re all the same. Love watching them perform together.
I love when they're tearing it up & Patti says " Work it girl !" & then effortlessly shift from alto into soprano chest belt and up into her head voice rapidly while Cyndi is slaying the melody ! Work it girl's!
Patti loves when people can keep up with her. She's like okay baby we going to sing together tonight. She gets happy about it it's never nasty and malicious.
Yes it's TRUE so these two are extremely close friends outside the industry. Pattie Labelle is also Mariah Carey's godmother also. Makes you wonder who else is Pattie Labelle godmother to
They're both very high soprano OMG i couldn't keep up with but that's the softest side i ever seen or heard from Patti her voice is just very magical but they both sung amazingly together fr fr
There are performances where you can see someone hit a note or lay down a run and you can see Patti's eyes light up, and she'll let them take the top. But if she does that, that other artist really brought something special. Patti let em shine. ❤
WOW! I always knew that Ms. Cyndi could sing, but this performance took her to a different level. It's not easy singing with, much less keeping up w/ Mama Patti. They DID that!
Wow, and that duet version of Time After Time, both of them playing off each other, improvising, from Cyndi's hit, making it fresh and new...oh, y'all are great. And having great fun singing together. Excellent.
I am so happy I stumbled upon this. This shows two artists, with whom you wouldn't normally associate in the same minute of thought, showing that they are really and truly artists, consequently elevating ( and simply proving ) both of themselves as artists of unique talent.
Cyndi Lauper is an awesome singer and still is ,very strong voice along with Patti. i never miss her when shes in philadelphia or surrounding cities, puts on a remarkable show everytime!
Two of my favorite singers of all times. I know it's a part of life but I dont want them to leave this world. My life would be complete if I could just hug one of them.
Look!! Patti's voice needs to come with a warning. That is just almost illegal for a human to have. Cyndi held her own too. I love Patti in this because as most of us know, she can go OFF, but she allows other female singers to shine on stage with her. Respect!
Cyndi got up there and Rocked The F*** Out with Patti. Not to many people can keep up with Patti. But Cyndi was at The Cookout with her Own dish and didn’t put no raisins in The Potato Salad….
The 2nd The 2nd The 2nd 2nd Patti L yesssss for Rearranging the flow of the Song This is what it's meant when we Impervise And Adlib I simply love it Awesome and this is how you Do it CINDY Did her thing I was 15 years young when this was released Simply the best of the best
I never realized this, but Xtina’s G5 doesn’t have anything on Cindy’s Like Xtina’s voice is amazing, but she has NEVER sustained a G5 or belted one that is as pure and easy as Cindy’s (Which is why it pays to have lessons and learn a better technique so you don’t mess your voice up)
Yes xtina doesnt have a chance at Cyndi at G#5 but the remaining vocal notes Cyndi doesn't have chance on xtina,xtina is not the voice of the generation for G5 belt,xtina can sing around in circles over Cyndi without the need to sustain G5.xtina has better lows,better riffs,melisma,better head voice ...
Well, Cyndi's is actually an F. I think this in the original LaBelle key which is actually a step down from the later moulin rouge version. But, it's still pretty fabulous, no matter what key it's in
@@ntuzunkaurintah Cyndi is a way better singer overall, plus Christina's head voice is not better than Cyndi's. Belting wise there's absolutely no chance for Christina. Christina struggling to belt a simple C5 in her 40s while Cyndi was able to belt G5 and A5 in her 50/60s
Black and white in a crazy sound and a crazy vocal range,.. They were scream but they sound even better then any smooth voice sing and hit notes.. Both are legends loves them
I remember watching this when i was younger and thinking Cyndi Lauper can really sing. But now that im watching it now as adult i can appreciate the performance of two powerhouses legends
I remember when Patti wore her hair like this and she would come on stage and just slay... She was energetic and usually started singing from back stage.
What musical responsibility and generosity! A queen showing the way for a princess! I don't think Cindy sang like that ever again! please post clips if i'm wrong!!
I remember when this “Patti LaBelle Special” aired on tv 📺 over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Amy Grant and Luther Vandross were also featured guest singers. Amy Grant couldn’t keep up with Patti. Luther was of course great. However, this was when everybody was wait a minute... the second, the second... Cyndi Lauper can really sing 🎤 lol
the scene when they hold hands and belting "I'm your sister" on top of their lungs. This is so powerful. Honestly not to be a boomer but they reeeeally don't bring it like this anymore :(
I was fortunate enough to watch this special as a kid when it originally aired and I always loved this performance. I remember she also performed with Amy Grant and Luther Vandross. They had skits with this little puppet version of Patti that I thought was hilarious also lol
No lip-syncing or auto-tune here, folks...just raw talent.
Cindy's range is insaneee
Yes, its insane because she is a genius. She sang all styles.
Omg they both have such a high range
@@Dplol-gf1io I love them both. What is incredible about Lauper is that she is like a chameleon in her way of singing, style, and also her looks.

Back when entertainers had real talent and they were not scared to perform together
Anthony Luciano so true what has happened to music it's so sad
see....
This couldn't be any truer...
@@jaceycarlos cxxcx
Yep, so true.
I would've NEEEEEVER expected Cyndi Lauper to keep up with Patti. I admit it, I'm beyond impressed! They both definately killed it
They both killed it
THEY PISSED
Which means Cyndi is underrated...
She definitely kept up with Patti
Cyndi is an amazing singer. She can all styles, perfect vocal rythm, expresions. Cyndi and Patty Labelle. Im glad to hear here two amazing singers.
I will never forget this. I taped it on my VCR and watched it incessantly. Both of these ladies SANG these songs. 💛
So glad that someone uploaded this gem
@@ricobhi So am I. 💛
I believe I had it on Betamax with my “we are the world” recording!
It was thanksgiving night 1985. I also taped it lol
This is my favorite soprano duet! They are so gracious towards each other.
We all love Patty but can we give Cyndi her flowers NOW.
You can't help but love Patti's enthusiasm when she performs with someone she genuinely likes. She somehow does everything to make the other person sound even better than they normally do. Not that Cyndi needed it tho. She blew both of the songs out of the water. Amazing performance from both ladies.
Tbh, Lauper didn't sound better than usual but a lot of people don't follow her and know what she's capable of
I just really love how Patti doesn't need to outshine anyone she sings with. She gives them space and opportunity to sing and do what they feel. No matter how impressive she sings, it never feels to be intended to seize the spotlight for her own. She basically is an amazing duet partner.
So true, watch her do "Got to be real" with Mariah.
They've been genuinely good of friends since the 80s. Few friendships survive in the biz, only the real ones like theirs
@@popland1977 💯❗cyndi SANGS!!! I Remenber watching this when youtube first came out and immediately fell in love with Cyndi. Patti's my fav! And cyndi next!! He energy and LOVE is UNMATCHED!
They are both so damn wacky, fierce, magical, and totally one-of-a-kind divas. You can feel the mutual joy at this pairing. Thanks for posting!
Iconic
Patti loved Cyndi and respected her skills!
Morgan ML3 starting 0.58 you can see it in Patti's eyes - 💖
That CYNDI has pipes too!
Yes lord.
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh hell yes she does ❤
Patti singing Time after Time gave me a WHOLE new respect for patti. She really refrained and simplified her singing but her tone was magical
cause honey she is a fucking PROFESSIONAL
Patti let Cyndi shine
If your suggesting Patti can out sing Cyndi then your wrong ....Cyndi likes to tell a story while Patti over sings everything........kinda like Jennifer Hudson
@@donaldshelton986 the way Patti broke down time after time, THAT was story telling. And no where close to over singing
@@thechristianteen9167lol, if you know anything about Cyndi than you know Cyndi doesn’t need Patti to “let her shine”.
Cyndi & Patti
TWO LEGENDS 🩷
Billy Porter brought me here.... He mentioned this collab on the Breakfast Club.
Me too. I didn't know they ever sang together.
If Billy Porter says watch it, imma watch it
Tanisha Perry Yup he said it was iconic but all i heard was a bunch of yelling at least the first song 🤦🏽♂️
Too much yelling in the first song... they don't harmonize well together both voices are competing
@@Carmello-ng4hq too much yelling ... and you're too fine!
I remember watching this on TV.... Patti was singing like a wicked diva, then Cyndi took me by surprise coming out the side like a mad women. It was awesome, crazy, and magical at the same time!! I love these ladies!!
This was wonderful. Never in my life have I seen Patti subdued and take a back seat, let alone the bottom of a harmony. Didn't know she had that capacity.
Did you ever hear of her group labelle? Sarah Dash sang the top Nona the bottom and Patti sang the middle!
+Chris Green That's your opinion ! Cool!
+Chris Green :-O disagree with you on that though ! There's a live version of Labelle singing Lady Marmalade on " Don Kirshner's Rock Concert & They "Labelle" " Turned It Up & Turned It Out !" Also there are many versions of. Patti Labelle sanging the song sixtynine ways to Sunday !
Some of you obviously have never listened to Cyndi's catalog. Her full voice belts go just as high as Labelle's.
Patti typically has the most “out there” voice, so really, when it is time to “get down and dirty”, Patti is typically the only one who has the capability/bravery to actually slay
Patti definitely doesn’t try to “run the show” like Aretha Franklin does (even though I love Aretha, anyone who reads this knows that I’m not lying when I say that Patti practices more restraint)

Pattie Labelle is actually godmother to Cyndi Lauper's son in real life so these two ladies are very close outside the industry
I love when they're tearing it up & Patti says " Work it girl !" & then effortlessly shift from alto into soprano chest belt and up into her head voice rapidly while Cyndi is slaying the melody ! Work it girl's!
Patti’s voice in Time After Time 🤩
I remember this from the 80's.
Patti LaBelle and Cyndi Lauper the duet, there are guitar heroes, there, two voice heroins in this amazing video! 😳🤩👏👏👏
Patti loves it when someone can really sing with her, Talent unleashed Cyndi is awesome
Patti loves when people can keep up with her. She's like okay baby we going to sing together tonight. She gets happy about it it's never nasty and malicious.
This made me cry.
I guess this is what Dionne Warrick meant icon. This feels like it was just yesterday.
Neisa Davidson Beyonce can't Do half of What That génération Did. Sorry Baby
Phil Royce Yet she still doesn’t add up
@@philroyce1144 How can you say when Beyonce does it all. She is the legend and so is Fantasia!!
@@philroyce1144 Don't even bring her up. Sick of hearing about her.
mccoy9978 but they are not of the same caliber.
Wow, Amazing. Patti showed respect to the fact that its Cyndi's song and still complimented it beautifully. They are two great talents!!
Realness!!! Shocked some Patti fans but created lifelong friends (family) as Patti is godmother to Cyndi’s child. Love them both!!💞
Yes it's TRUE so these two are extremely close friends outside the industry.
Pattie Labelle is also Mariah Carey's godmother also.
Makes you wonder who else is Pattie Labelle godmother to
They're both very high soprano OMG i couldn't keep up with but that's the softest side i ever seen or heard from Patti her voice is just very magical but they both sung amazingly together fr fr

Ms. Patti brought out the sista in Cyndi!!!
The songs Cyndi recorded in the 80s and early 90s didn’t do her vocals justice. She can sing jazz as well. I loved this!
Yes, I actually heard sing jazz well.
Producers: so..will we be needing playback ladies?
Patty n Cindy: the f is that??
One of the best performances ever! Their chemistry has always been magical. Love it!
TrueeeeeeE!¡!!!
I had no idea cindy could sing like this!
Really? I have never heard her sing this genre but the vocals def show in Girls Just Wanna Fun. That's a hard song...
Jackie Wilson tried to rape Patti.
@@jammzy2959True Colors did it for me
OMG, THAT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING. I’M ACTUALLY SPEECHLESS.
Billy Porter Breakfast Club Interview brought me here
Me too
What did he say about this?
When Patti says to Cyndi "Week it Gurrl!" You know that is one artist to another appreciative of the experience
Omg Patti vocal power house and wow Cyndi another one two queens at work lol!
Fantasia needs to play Patti in a movie they have the same energy on stage
I swear I was thinking the same as I'm watching
Fantasia Labelle.🤣
Best version of lady marmalade hands down
The second, the second, the second..... the second! My favorite part!
Mine too, it sends chills
Agreed!! ❤
Cyndi is so underrated my head hurts
Commit! Wow, work it, ladies! Talent and enthusiasm all over the place. Thank y'all both.

So much respect for Cyndi for being able to stand up to Patti and match her note for note!!

When I saw this performance I fell in love with Cyndi's powerful voice.
The collab I never knew I needed.
Time After Time was just wonderful.. brought a tear to my eye to hear these two. There were giants in those days...
I have goosebumps. You better sing ladies!
Two of my favorite singers of all times. I know it's a part of life but I dont want them to leave this world. My life would be complete if I could just hug one of them.

You made Cindy's voice sounds weaker than Patti's. We both know that Cindy can go head-to-head against Patti vocally.
They did that! Every millisecond of it!
On the edge of my seat and heart. ❤
This will forever be one of my favorite collaborations.
Love How Patti Contains herself
Cyndi got up there and Rocked The F*** Out with Patti. Not to many people can keep up with Patti. But Cyndi was at The Cookout with her Own dish and didn’t put no raisins in The Potato Salad….
😂
I am blown away. I had no idea that Cyndi had pipes like that! Her performances are usually more subdued but she held her own with Patti
Omg im so shock on lady marmalade omg this is 1 of the bests
They both should release a new albums
You’re hot what’s your Snapchat
I knew that Cyndy is an amazing singer since 1983. But I didnt know Patti Labelle. I love all thesse duets with Cyndi and Patti!
The 2nd The 2nd The 2nd 2nd
Patti L yesssss for Rearranging the flow of the Song
This is what it's meant when we Impervise
And Adlib
I simply love it
Awesome and this is how you Do it
CINDY Did her thing
I was 15 years young when this was released
Simply the best of the best
Their voices complimented so well.
This was a GOLD! Back then when real "TALENT" are the best. Im crying while watching this. 2 legends.
I never realized this, but Xtina’s G5 doesn’t have anything on Cindy’s
Like Xtina’s voice is amazing, but she has NEVER sustained a G5 or belted one that is as pure and easy as Cindy’s
(Which is why it pays to have lessons and learn a better technique so you don’t mess your voice up)
That makes a of sense
I don’t think Xtina can belt her high notes live.I love how she sounds, though. Or at least, how she used to. Lol.

What has happened when they go "the second hand unwinds?" It was so magical.
Patti did that thang.
these ladies dont get enough recognition
BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN! AND HEARD!
We need to have a conversation about Time after time being one of the greatest songs ever.
Black and white in a crazy sound and a crazy vocal range,.. They were scream but they sound even better then any smooth voice sing and hit notes.. Both are legends loves them
Their voices blend so perfect!
I wish I'd been there for this!!!Love them both!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

The second! The second! The second hand unwinds !Beautifully sung & the melismatic intro to a wonderfully sung and arranged duet ! 😉 💋💛💙💜💚❤💗💕
I know, right! Patti had that thang.
THESE TWO TOGETHER....JUST AWESOME
both adorable talent, most prestigious collab, may gosh! CYNDI PATTI! PERFECTION
I remember watching this when i was younger and thinking Cyndi Lauper can really sing. But now that im watching it now as adult i can appreciate the performance of two powerhouses legends
I remember when Patti wore her hair like this and she would come on stage and just slay... She was energetic and usually started singing from back stage.
Entiendo que aún hoy día, son grandes amigas!
that end. my goodness. goosebumps.
This is literally letting go and having FUN!!
What musical responsibility and generosity! A queen showing the way for a princess! I don't think Cindy sang like that ever again! please post clips if i'm wrong!!
+First Foundation Fan LOL Cyndi sang like that up until recently, actually. Have seen her live many times. Just look live performances up here...
nothing like it!!! ;-) love the woman just the same... but nothing like it...
+First Foundation Fan check out boy blue live from Paris
Oh I am aware of that...Its awesome and also Baby Workout live in Paris and Money Changes Everything "Live....At Last" DVD.
Check out patti, Cindy and Jessica singing lady marmalade it’s when they’re much older and it’s epic
Cyndi Lauper 😻😻😻 ugh! Can we go back to the 80’s with an IPhone X not on 80’s phone phone ☎️
Couple of Space Children right there 💞
Goose bumps.

Amy Grant and Luther Vandross were also featured guest singers. Amy Grant couldn’t keep up with Patti. Luther was of course great. However, this was when everybody was wait a minute... the second, the second... Cyndi Lauper can really sing 🎤 lol
Patti has such a powerful voice and I love how she allows others to shine
Patti has been cherished by all Philadelphians. Way back at 'PEP'S at Broad & South.
We love Patti.
Wow!! This is so cool! Cyndi tore up right along Patti. Work it sistas!!
We need a concert with these two
These are sisters right here👏🏾👏🏾
the scene when they hold hands and belting "I'm your sister" on top of their lungs. This is so powerful. Honestly not to be a boomer but they reeeeally don't bring it like this anymore :(
That was a SICKKKKKKK cover by Ms Patti on Time after Time. Tone and everything was fire 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! This is a legendary performance of two legends Patti and cyndi
Oh what Ive missed not even been born during when music was well amazing and soulful
I was fortunate enough to watch this special as a kid when it originally aired and I always loved this performance. I remember she also performed with Amy Grant and Luther Vandross. They had skits with this little puppet version of Patti that I thought was hilarious also lol
paty labelle das antigas tem uma tremenda voz Grande cantora. cyndi outra joia rara.
Patty has always been very nice to perfomers she has duets with
