LYRICALLY SPEAKING: PATTI LABELLE
Переглядів 4,6 тис.Місяць тому
In tribute to her 80th birthday, I wanted to share this with the world. I am grateful for the times that Patti Labelle has poured into my very soul. I tried to bring her flowers once @ 106 Park and since I wasn't EP on the show, I ran down and took the flowers and went back upstairs because she was on set. She had to them FIND ME and BRING ME TO HER! She has recognized me on the street and scre...

    Idk. I hv watched her for a very looooong time now. And pretty much, I’ve seen Rachelle morph into this OVERKILL of too much looking at the outside world of life vs her own self search engine for an explanation of who she is, in her own life’s existence(Think about that for a minute). It seems, when you start to INTERNALIZE life, trying to SEE and DIG into it too deeply…you lose perspective of the simple reality of life and presence that one is suppose to just, LIVE IN IT!. It is real easy to lose yourself when looking for all the intricacies of life that are unexplainable, yet relative. God told us, “I AM TOO MUCH for you to BEHOLD. My thoughts are too high for you to comprehend”. We see this same behavior manifesting in Lauren Hill as well. In my humble opinion, A Human’s only task on earth, in life, should be adhering to: “I give you Life and I give it to you more abundantly!”. There simply are NO TRICKS and GIMMICKS to LIFE!. Live and let Die.

    • @LaVette119
      @LaVette119 Місяць тому

      A MIRACULOUS VOICE!!. Rachelle needs to STAY IN THE PRESENT. Appreciate her GIFT. Share it with the Universe and keep HER LIFE MOVING. She’s putting “unnecessary pauses” in her life!. She’s self sabotaging herself, with CARRYING around her OLD STORY of the Industry and what they did to her. She desires to EXPLAIN herself’s existence, every chance she gets. She has to understand and realize that she’ll NEVER understand the depths of herself in this life(none of us know ourselves fully). What we do know, is what God has given us, our Gifts, and they’re to be revealed to the universe, so that HE GETS THE GLORY!…

I am very proud to have been that lyrical Angel on her shoulder who believed in her. Years later I asked her to perform on my Burbank production "ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE". Unfortunately her schedule conflicted. "GLORY-CLORY'" was a one of the proposed tunes. ENJOY IT KEVIN. And thanks for your thanks.

    I love her. Thank you so much for doing this. Everything I discover on her is a new gem, From a Bernie Mac funeral to Showtime at the Apollo. I was a kid and saw her on the Apollo, hosted by Sinbad! 1993? 94? lol. Never seen that crowd soooo happy. Except for a FEW artists, I have not seen the audience jumping and screaming and clapping like for Rachelle! Although, fellow whistle register-vocalist Mariah Carey, when she was 20 years old, is one example… singing ”Vision of love”! Nervous and new to things, but damn that audience loved her… Mariah has also gone on to cite Rachelle as a major influence. Question. I know this was filmed eight years ago.. and I mean no offense to either Mr Kevin E Taylor or guest Ms Ferrell when I ask this... I highly doubt it’s auto tuned, but is something up with the sound, or is there echoing in the room? Maybe it’s my tablet. Lol. I know Rachelle can do a lot with her voice, including scat singing and sounding like brass instruments, but I don’t know if “living breathing auto tune machine” is one. It’s not that bad, I just seem to have a weird connection right now. Rachelles voice just sounds duplicated, or even quadrupled, like layered when she sings. And I know she can do something similar, and even Mariah does this with her vocal nodes. But what I’m hearing isn’t from her actual voice, I don’t think. It’s probably my old ass tablet!! Damn! 😒😭 Oh well I loved this regardless. Rachelle- one day I will meet you and play music, I play violin in many styles including jazz. And vocals. ♥
