She is just Beautiful! Her looks are Gorgeous! What a living doll! Her talent, her voice is uncomfortable. Thank you Patti Drew, your " Tell him" song got me thru my separation. Then I saw a clip of her in concert with her son, singing "Tell him" bom bom bo da da. Her son doing that part. O.M.G. Exactly like the original. It's here you guys look for it. "Tell him" live by "Patti Drew" recently. Thank you my sister! Such a lovely lady! God Bless you and your son!!! Can you come to the Hollywood Bowl or Greek Theatre in Los Angeles with your son. Please we'll be waiting!!! Love Always Belinda Arrieta.

    This takes me way back to wonderful memories of my youth. My sister and I where real close in age she was my best friend. She had this on a 45 and used to play it all the time. I'd watched her just get lost in it . She'd close her eyes and lean her head back and she would just sing her heart out . She loved this song and Patty Drew. She died about 5 years ago and I miss her everyday. Thank you for sharing this video. I'm gonna keep it and every time I watch it I'll see my sister Bebe singing her heart out just like she used to do when we were young. Love you always my beautiful sister. 💖💖💖

The lady always picks the man. Ladys and Men had such respect for each other. We need to bring back R&B, Funk, Rock and Roll, Country and Jazz music . Their was more love in the world. Music moves us along.
