The original Dreamgirls cast (including Loretta Devine) joined to sing a very touching rendition of "We Are A Family" in the beginning. The performance was re-streamed today 2021, as part of the 30th Divas Simply Singing.

They have aged soo beautiful. Loretta is 73 years old. Black does not crack😫😫😫
Noooooooo
She was a bit younger then. This was in 2011, but yes, she look nice. Getting older don't make you unattractive. So, I'm not sure why people are surprised by people looking nice still as they get older. In fact quite a few people look even more attractive. Especially most men as they get older and mature. They literally do age like fine wine. Lol. Seriously though. God bless. God love and care for you, and so do I. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
🤯🤯🤯
NO WAY?!! I thought she was in her early 50s
Black don’t crack but it melts like everything else
That unique voice can never be duplicated PERIOD!!!!!! When I tell you that Jennifer Holliday can sang her tail off, I mean just that!!! I love her.
Exactly! She is a real legend and a incredible actress ❤️
FACTS
That's right.....And You Gonna Love Me!!

She sounds amazing at her age! This is pure and cannot be taught.
"And that's why I just stand in the middle.. "😂😂. Love that Ms Sheryl!!❤❤
Loretta Divine didn't play... Jennifer still has IT!!
No she didn't!
Right ✅
Love these beautiful ladies.
If I had just a lot of her voice! I Would Be Thankful for Gods Grace!!
Yesss indeed!!!🙌🏽😩❤️🎙🔥
After so many years, Sheryl Lee Ralph still looks stunning...
I was not expecting her to still be this damn good
RIGHT ?!!? i ain't even know she was still alive .. idk why i thought J. Hud's character / reenactment was based on someone from the early 1900s
The early 1900s? You mean the 1980's. They wouldn't be here if it was the 1900's. Jennifer Holliday did the role of Effie before Jennifer Hudson was born. Both singers are powerhouse singers, just different vocal ranges. Give credit when credit is due. Discrediting a person's talent or anything else because of their age is unrealistic. Everybody is going to age and get older. Just keep living.
I did Ms. Jennifer 💕💞💓💗❤💯
@@TeKeyaKrystal girl what they hell
The original Effie (Jennifer Holliday), Deena (Sheryl Lee Ralph) and Lorrell (Loretta Devine) from the 1982 Broadway play, "Dreamgirls"...❤❤❤
Wish there was a way to put it on DVD. It was a great play
@@carlaspringer8112
My mother went to see the original play and cast on Broadway (in 1982) and told me how amazing it was. She bought the album, and while we listened to the songs, she told me what was happening in the scenes. I felt like I was there!
It would be nice to see the original on DVD. I just wonder if the actual play, not just the music, was ever fully recorded (like a movie reel). You can, however, find snippets of the stage play on RUclips if you search for specific parts. I've seen Jennifer Holliday's performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going". Amazing and heartfelt! The scenes that are available are not very clear because of how they were recorded. 😉
My mama named me after Deena!!! Baybeeeee when I tell you I crieddddddd!!!! Her voice is POWERFUL 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
The play was 100 times better than the movie ..not even close
Loretta was bringing them church runs and rifts 🖤🖤🖤
Loretta is such a GREAT actress I forgot she can SANG!!!!
Black women supporting each other and not degrading each other in love this generation of black women
It took them time to do that but it’s a beautiful thing now that everything is hashed out
Loretta is GLOWING 😩😍😍. I love these women they’re all so legendary
Every time. Every single time: I ugly cry. These women just bring out every emotion.
😢
The OG Effie doing the damn thing
Jennifer takes me out with the first " ooooing" lmao I love her
she held that last note so long...this seems to be the longest I have heard it... iconic performance I think
No she held it even longer when she sang it on Broadway
Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jennifer Holiday, and Loretta Devine all is beautiful!!! and classy. All theses ladies so talented too! God bless! their career.
I did not know Loretta Divine has such a nice voice as well. Three beautiful ladies! Bravo!!!!!
They look beautiful and sound great. Jennifer has one of the BEST voices of all time.
When Jennifer repeated “that’s why” she sounded so precious
Had no clue Loretta could sing like that
Oh yeah. That's Ms. Lorelle.
The Dreams aged gracefully. Black will never crack!!!!
So wonderful to see Ms. Sharon Redd represented on the quilt!!! She was one bad black woman who sang in theater and the recording industry. Sang Jennifer!
She had AIDS?
The most unadulterated, raw, unique, destinct, sensational, GOD gifted, talented vocals ever, the classy, beautiful, Jennifer Holiday!!!! Ms. Holidays voice is in a class all it own and should be classified as a national treasure!!!!!!! All of the lady's look wonderful!!!!!!
I whole heartedly Agree with you --
MiSS JENNIFER HOLIDAY'S vocals should definitely be classified as a "national treasure"!!
Mother is finally getting her flowers. In peace, Sharon Redd.
This woman is outstanding. I am out of breath and tired from just listening to her sing because I cannot hold a note.
❤😂🎉same here
Jennifer Hudson better wish she'll be able to sound this good in her early '60's. Yes, it's a lower key than her Broadway performances, but the power, tone and breath control remain excellent. Brava Ms. Holiday!
I liked this version better then her Broadway performance. Both of the women can sing. We can give credit where credit is due, and not take anything away from anybody else. They are both blessed with a Good given gift, that only HE can give.
Hudsons voice is stronger than its ever been in her 40s so it can very well stay that strong until her 60!
@@ladennayoung2939 bravo! Exactly what I was thinking
@@ladennayoung2939 thank you, It really bothers me when people do that. It's enough blessing to go around.
I smell a little hate on Jhuds talent. But at the same time you know you sing well when you got someone who was not even apart of the clip being mentioned.. Less hate and more celebration of everyone who ca sing you would think but nah thats too much like right!
LAWD God…see what happens when you take care of your voice and can still let it flow 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Loretta Loretta Loretta 73 and aging gracefully❤❤❤❤ All these beautiful black queens I love it
Anyone who has been remotely following Jennifer Holiday KNOW SHE IS GIFTED PERIOD...GENERATIONS WILL STUDY HER GIFT......
Loretta hit the hmmhmmm and Jen back doored with that heeeyyyyyaaahhh... I lost it
Her singing is like a masterpiece of art
What a beautiful comment! 💕
Ladies...ALL OF YOU INSPIRE ME! LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH, and CELEBRATE EACH OTHER!♥️♥️♥️
NOBODY CAN TOUCH HOLIDAY!
Only Jennifer can give this song justice on a lower key! The power is freakin the same! How the hell does she do that?!!!
I met Jennifer Holliday in person in Chicago! I painted a portrait of her as a present, and she loved it! In addition, she autographed my copy of her CD, and even got a picture taken with her! 😁🎨
I bet Loretta could still sing Ain’t No Party
I would love to hear that! 🎶
CHILLS started at 1:56. WOW!! Amazing Ladies!!!

Wow Jennifer Holiday must feel strange now being the slimmest. 3 BEAUTIFUL and talented ladies 💖
One of the nicest and most genuine ppl I’ve had the pleasure to meet and when I tell u Anything she sings she sings with her entire soul! Love ms. Holiday
She be showin’ OUT on this song! lmao such a legend
I don't think this voice gets it just do , she has that voice wow. I love this song
Them pipes whew!!!!❤❤❤
Miss Jennifer got it going on! She’s in her early 60s I believe and for her to still sing so outstanding tells me that she def has taken care of her voice and body through the years. And the rest of the ladies look beautiful too. God bless them ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏👏👏👏👏👏. I got chills after hearing Miss Jennifer. And she’s so super humble ❤️❤️
The “I’m not going” with the mouth open has me laughing so hard 😂😂
Jennifer Holiday....She' s THE ONE. I love her voice. Each time I hear this song ...I only want to thanks her talent. God bless you, Miss Jennifer.
To kno that many like me wasn’t born just yet (84) and the original makers of musical greatness is still out here KILLING IT… just blessed I tell you … BLESSED…
These women are beautiful and doing big big big things. To be standing in heels at this age and walking with no problems which we take for granted, at that age they are a price in itself. I adore all three of these women to see them on stage together is leaving me speechless. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They started singing and still killing it in tone
These are people that need a record deal
Those Texas girls can sang!!!! Jennifer is the truth!!!!
Both Jennifer and Loretta are from Houston
Holiday sounds great here!!! I heard her a few years ago and thought the power had gone, but surely she showed me!! I love this woman so much.
I said the same thing when I heard her sing in SF at benefit for AIDS but I had to realize that, all great singers have good days and then there are days when the spirit hits them, then their voice transforms to something otherworldly! The anointing is what it is....that's what we call it in the Black Church!
I said the same thing
Loretta said, "I ain't scared!" I'm going to hang with you!! 🤣❤️
The way she spells "going" is extremely unique
It was ghastly!

Beautiful ladies. I love Loretta Devine. Jennifer holiday has the voice of a goddess. Sheryl is without peer.
Refreshing to see the real Divas
LEGENDARY DIVAS!
The Original Dreamgirls where the Best!!
I attended the first DiVa's simply singing ended up eventually meeting all 3... On the Sinbad tv talk late night in Los Angeles years and years before two original dg's were guests and he brought out Ms Loretta Devine surprised us all audience and them. Glad to see they finally pulled it off... I've seen Ms.Holiday since 1984 from Houston to long beach CA a Ella Fitzgerald fundraising event I worked she's forever very pleasant. Proud of all Three...
Wow!Woe!! Such beautiful, phenomenal and sophisticated, Talented, Black women. Love the original Dream Girls.
Shes. Really the best diva ever special voice nobody Can copy hard and technique
My god… the purity of her voice. Ms. Hudson was probably the only one to pull off going behind this lady but it’s still a step in my opinion behind her.
Oh no! Jennifer Hudson can't touch Jennifer Holliday. Nobody can sing this song like Jennifer Holliday. She's the original, the one and only.
Lets give it up for Jennifer Halliday Everlasting voice 🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️
My God, she had chills going through my body. Incredible!!!❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼bravo!!
Wow how could you not love her
I don’t think anyone can ever do it better. Her voice is so unique. !!!❤
Women with power,wow!
So effortless

Loretta looked so good. I didnt even know that was her until she opened her mouth!!!😃😃
Living Legends 😍😍😍😍😍
Got Chills!!!! The Divas are All Beautiful!!😍💐 Jennifer Holliday You Sang Mommas!!!! ❤️❤️🥰🙏🏾✌🏾💐
Classy women, representing us in a great way.
They straight went to CHUUUURCH at the gala 🤣🤣🥰
No one sings it better . She jus sings the songgggg. Sorry j hud . This is it !!!
Jennifer’s tone is still as buttery as it always was. I would love to hear her sing this in the original key. I’m hearing enough support that makes me feel like she could still do it!!
She made the necessary adjustments for her skillset today. Some of her phrasings were challenging for her now, and others were just ghastly! Leave well enough alone. She gotta risk failure for your satisfaction?! A lady always knows when to walk away. And gracefully, at that!
@@chriscooks5437 !!!?!!! Um ok. Have a lovely day ?
I think she can still do the original key but there wouldn't be enough room for movement since her tessitura dropped a bit.
@@BKDAYZ lol 😂
Watch her Tony Award performance in 2021...about as close as you'll get to her original performance from almost 40 years ago. STUNNING!
Finally grown folks music I like I like
that woman has the voice of all voices, just wow
Beauty, class, grace and true timeless talent. We have been blessed to have them
Jennifer that is your song you Own it always and forever ♥️ 🔥 one 💯!!!!
Stunning and beautiful God given women yes we love them but we love what God has done and will do
Definition of SANGING 😊
These three Queens are Awesome. Loretta, and Jennifer sounds incredible together. Jennifer is the real deal!!!🎵❤️👑👸🏽👸🏽❤️👑👸🏽👑🎵❤️
The exaggerated expression, the church gown, the extravagant runs and most of all that Wig!! Aunty Jennifer for the win
I wish I could have been in the audience for just one performance to see these three wonderful “legends” perform on Broadway.
I had a development deal with a producer..was about 17 and got to work with Jennifer on a song called hard time for lovers..I was always a little timid in the studio..but she shut shit down LOL I was almost afraid to do my little background part..she was like don't be shy baby..we don't got time for that... I was so embarrassed that it made me snap out of it lmao
I remember "Hard Time for Lovers". OMG, I used to love this song! I sang along every single time I played it or heard it in the radio. I just played (and added) it to my Spotify playlist. Working with her on this song must have been really cool. What a great memory to have!
"I will stand by you...in love, right or wrong!"
Oh my, you lucky duck! There are a lot of rumors that Jennifer is hard to work with, could you give your assessment during the time that you worked with her?
@@heroxzq1263 she was very sweet but direct.. I have worked with alot of women and men and when it's a guy doing it he's a boss..a female is a bitch...and she wasn't at all.
Me9 she got that from Dionne Warwick. She told a story about the Back on the Block recording session and how someone hit the wrong note in the background vocals and Dionne made them do it again the right way. Guess that comes from actually studying her music and truly earning her Master's in music.
i'm so glad J. Hud's rendition/reenactment of Ms. Holiday brought me here .. whew! the vocalsssssss
Loretta looks AMAZING!
