With the arrangements of this rendition and Patti's unique delivery, I can not understand why this song never received its proper recognition. Not to take away from any of the other's who recorded this, but Patti definitely added SOUL to this song, lol .
same thing with "If You Ask Me To" which was a minor R&B hit for Patti BUT a WORLDWIDE smash for Celine Dion. Now....Celine can sing. she can sing and carry a note. But Patti SANG that song. You feel it when Patti sings it. You know she means each and every word of those lyrics. Celine was just singing.....singing great...but JUST singing.
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I've heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that we dare to dream Really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up, where the clouds Are far behind me, so far Where troubles melt like lemon drops Way up above chimney tops That's where, that's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high If birds if birds fly over the rainbow Then why, oh why can't I? If birds fly over the rainbow Why can't I?
Never heard her version before. Now, it's one of my faves! Up there with Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald and Harry Nilsson! I swear, this song can never be outdone!
Now that's how you sing over the rainbow! I love Judy Garland's original in The wizard of Oz of course but Patti turn this into a gospel song. Have everybody standing up shouting "Yes sir"and clapping. Lol. When all-time grace vocals of all time. 👍😊
Why is it so questionable for a tv show to play a song and remind you of the song? I’ve known about the song for ages. I just hadn’t heard it in a long time!🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Somewhere over the rainbow Way up here Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? Source: Musixmatch

To be fair, many identify this song with Judy and Patti. But this should've been a charted hit, I agree.

It was too soulfull and the powers that be wanted the white versions instead
@@travonjones THAT PART!
It was a top 20 hit with Patti LaBelle and the bluebelles.
Patti takes this Over The Rainbow to a whole new and deeper level Truly Timeless
I can't get over how powerful is when she belts so high. It's actually mad, her voice doesn't crack or anything
Is that what’s called perfect pitch?
@@oldenmarlow339 yes
@@oldenmarlow339 no
From 2:40 to the end is my favorite part! She is a treasure and she is in her 70s and can still reach those high notes!
Because she took care of her voice. She doesn't strain.
She did and she is a natural! That is a God given talent that God gave her! Even though this song was a while ago she still got it! : )
That's my favorite part!!! She took that little bird to church! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😭😭😭😭
This is the living DEFINITION of FLAWLESS!!💯💫👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
As a working DJ in San Francisco in the 1980s, this was my closing song every night
Beautiful voice every time you sing. Those high notes Amen to you and so effortlessly I love love love 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Child, Miss Patti was singing like the rent was due🔥
Patti paid off the whole damn mortgage. The house is hers!
@@lanakane7325Facts❤️🔥🤣🤣
This song is a true # Classic & don’t let Mrs.Patti kick her shoes off & flap her arms it’s all over she killing it at that point 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I've heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that we dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up, where the clouds
Are far behind me, so far
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way up above chimney tops
That's where, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
If birds if birds fly over the rainbow
Then why, oh why can't I?
If birds fly over the rainbow
Why can't I?
"BEAUTIFUL"
2:42 I was taken to church!🙌🙌🙌
She sang this song in every note. That's talent and a true artist.
Just listen how she switch that pitch up and down
So this is why Mariah sang this to Patti on her birthday cause she had a version of this too.
I thought After All This Time that Israel Kamakawiwoʻole was the Original Artist who sung this song.
The original singer is Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz
Judy Garland sung it first
@@COMPACTTVHD Yup
Last song at my funeral for sure!
Mine too
I dream in color Regina Belle just before this
Definitely mine too
Memories brought me here. This was my mothers favorite song! Oh how I miss her 🥺 fly high momma over that rainbow 🌈 ❤️
Tears came to my eyes and my heart swelled when I read your comment. 💖💖 I can feel your pain.
Doesn't get any better than this. Sing it girl!!!!!!!!
Patti Labelle is an incredibly talented woman! Just love her music!
Christopher Heim CccccccccccccccccaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntttTTTTTTT......#CASKETPLEASE
Patti is a National Treasure
Never heard her version before. Now, it's one of my faves! Up there with Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald and Harry Nilsson! I swear, this song can never be outdone!
This has got to be my favorite Patti LaBelle song. We are listening to classic Patti LaBelle vocals in the early 80s❤🌈
My favorite version!!! Her range is amazing!!!!
In 1983 I heard her sing it acappella at an award ceremony honoring her in Philadelphia. It was out of this world!
@@cheriray9135 can you link the video if there is one? I would love to see
Now that's how you sing over the rainbow! I love Judy Garland's original in The wizard of Oz of course but Patti turn this into a gospel song. Have everybody standing up shouting "Yes sir"and clapping. Lol. When all-time grace vocals of all time. 👍😊
Mrs Patti LaBelle Sings the hell out of this song 👍👍 a true Legend 😃 Thank you for the great music Queen 🤗
Scandal brought me here!
Sameeee, lol!
???scandal
Really?
Why is it so questionable for a tv show to play a song and remind you of the song? I’ve known about the song for ages. I just hadn’t heard it in a long time!🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Can't hold back the tears, since first day that I heard it, still has the same effect on me after all these years
The note: 2:42
nickfreshalive It could wake a dead mans heart....for sure!

Can't NOBODY do a crescendo like Patti
It's such a pleasure to revisit this classic recording. Hard to believe it's been 40 years.
In tears!! Just amazing!🌈❤️🤩
Thank you Patti LaBelle for uploading your rendition of Over The Rainbow just in time for LGBT Pride!
Priceless. And a beautiful homage to Judy Garland.
What a beautiful song. Ms Patti nailed it, she's so awesome!
The repeating all-male backup beginning at 2:53: 'Birds fly high, why can't I'...If birds fly high, why can't I'...
That part for me....👏👏👏👏

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up here
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
