Kelly Price delivered at Essence Music Festival 2011. Kelly Price was in Ford Lounge and this is the performance from Kelly's second set (10:00PM). Love this! Enjoy FAM!
There really shouldn't be any comparison between these two phenominal vocalists because they both have their own uniqueness; but I guess it's just human nature for us to compare. Ms Price's voice is flawless. "Hats of to her" for paying homage to Ms. Murdoch. Speaking of Ms. Murdoch...her voice is classic! There is a special feeling I get when I hear her sing. She is one of the greats. Overall, this was an exceptional duet. As for the audience participation, It was Ms. Price that encouraged them to sing along. Considering the lyrical content, no woman wants to be belting out this song alone. Everyone was in on this indiscretion. Smart move ladies! lol
That was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Both those women SANG their hearts out without egos. Just pure joy for the craft. Wow! That was fantastic!
Here because I'm praying Kelly is okay. 🙏 1st time seeing this...forgot to breathe a few times throughout this beautiful and "rare" duet. This was breathtaking! 💜 I'm an early 80s baby. This song was played faithfully in my house back n the day...now I know why🤭🤔😂😉
Tiffany Blaylock but I love kelly and Shirley because the audience is singing in the same key, they adjusting the keys in which they sing so also to here thereselves
The original was by the Human Body (which included Shirley's husband and was produced by Roger Troutman). Shirley covered it two years later and had some of the lyrics rewritten because she wasn't comfortable with it.
That crazy damn loud mouth woman yelling ”sing He Propose to Me!” ...is a mess! Then she had the nerve to say ”sing Shirley” lol, like she know her smh. It's a fool in every crowd. I respect the younger stars like Kelly Price and Jennifer Hudson for sharing the stage with the original singers of the songs they remade famous. That's class and respect. Maybe Etta James wouldnt have gone off on Beyonce if Bey would of humbled herself to do the same. One day they will get old and want the same respect. It was a great performance.
@SoulSir I think both Kelly & Jhud can sing. Its just when Ive seen Kelly do duets onstage she tends to sing over everyone else. She couldnt get away with it here. Thats all I was saying.
Two of the most phenomenal voices! Respect to real singing! Just wish the audience wouldve had more respect for these two greats by allowing them the stage to do what they do best!
I bet the sounded great, too bad I couldn't hear them over the tone deaf audience. The audience ruined the moment. They could have respectfully kept quiet at least when Shirley sang. Geesh.....
um....it was no challenge ! KELLY WAS SHOWING REVERENCE & ALLOWING THE ORIGINAL TO HAVE HER MOMENT ! look at kelly's face.....she's enjoying watching her idol still be able to kill it at this stage in the game...oh and also notice...SHE WAS SINGING HARMONY INSTEAD OF TRYING SING OVER HER
Omg love them both my favorite karaoke song never thought I'll see them both at the same damn time...my old school heart dropped a beat..I would pay top dollar to see that today front row..wanna tell them how great this was!!!
You must have forgotten that Kelly started out singing with Melonie Daniels and her sister Shanrae Price. Kelly became great by being challenged daily.
Who yelled out he proposed @ 1:08? lol I love that Sarah Vaughn like low note @ 1:24! Shirley is one of the ones who voice time has been really good to! Their harmony was nice, awesome performance!
Y y y y. Must we keep comparing??? There's no egos with neither one of them! I've had the pleasure of meetn both of them at a concert kelly had and at one point miss price let iss murdock sing alone so y do y'all compare the two? Both of them have spoken highly of each other. Kelly price has been told to dont sing so BIG n the begining of her career until Whitney told her u sing howevr u want to sing, dnt let this industry tell u how to sing and she's done that every since! I Love these 2;-)
I love how kelly price didnt try n overshine. Ms Murdock. She let her do her thing n then she did hers that light n her voice juzt stood out shining on them on that stage. I love. Love kelly price shes such a soulful singer
One of my all time fav R&B tunes. I was 21 and just arrived at my duty station in Germany two days prior. Made a couple friends and it was a Friday. All four were huge black guys from Florida. Which is how we hit it off, me bring from Hawaii. Beaches and woman is all we would talk about😁 But, being so far from home and straight from AIT, I wanted to get out but we were on a little tiny post FAR from all the big city places. So, as we sat throwing ideas of what we should do to not waste the night... one of them guys’ friend from another unit came over all spliffed out. After asking him where was he going, he said “NCO Club, bruh!... ROGER and ZAPP is playing” I Shot up from my bunk and told them we NEED to go!!! And, they all looked at and one said,”.. what you know about ZAPP!?” I shared I love ALL genres of music. But, in Jr. High ZAPP and then, Rougher, when he went solo, were HUGE in my house due to Popping and Breaking. But, besides really wanting to see ROGER...”As We Lay” came out during my Senior year in HS. And BOY, was I in love that voice and tune. So, hoping that she still was touring with ZAPP/ROGER, I had to go even MORE! To my happiest amazement, she was... and she sang that song SO SWEET!!!! It is STILL one of my favorite shows/concerts next to the EAGLES. BECAUSE, of course, Zapp and Roger ALWAYS put on a show! They were as advertised. I miss that guy making new music. Shirley still sounded amazing here in this vid.
This Was A Real Beautiful Treat. Shirley Murdock Is So Great to see Perform. She So Awesome On Stage Make U Laugh always. She Has Amazing Humor Very Funny Lady. Love Her and Kelly So An Amazing Voice. This Was Black Woman Magic...
I guess I just see it as two of the greatest voices in R & B soulful singing. There's no challenge, nor comparison. Kelly is a true singer who respects another artist who came before her. Shirley Murdock is a same great powerful voiced one! That was beautiful. Kelly tried not to out-sing her out of respect! Thats what true artistry is about. Loved it!
Btfol! Kelly churchy man! When Shirley was given out & slidin flat, Kelly was looking like, "Iight now get it right I done brought you on my set nah"!!! 😂😂😂
