Man I love it when they say "oh if you feel it in your heart..." 4:23 And Patti Labelle transformed and went to another vocal stratosphere at 5:13 LOL. I love the way Gladys started this performance. Her ability to evoke black sentiments through her singing resonates deeply within me, touching the very essence of my soul.
I cannot stop watching this. Really wish I had been born earlier to witness this. There was a clearer and fuller video of this last year but it got deleted.
I grew up with Dionne, Patti & Gladys, these women were my diva’s along with Aretha and Shirley Caesar. Mahalia Jackson was the driver of my love for gospel then I branched in to soul. I remember watching this on Oprah, enthralled at the magic these three women made on the live stage, what did it for me was Patti’s climatic pinnacle notes slicing through. I had recorded it knowing it was going to be epic. I wanted to learn to sing like Patti. My jaw just dropped. I realised at 12yrs old and being a young boy that would never be able to. Still didn’t stop me from trying 😂😂. These women were my inspiration.
Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table And I make sure that your coffee Has its sugar and cream Ooh, your eggs are over easy Your toast done lightly All that's missing is your morning kiss That used to greet me Now, all you say the juice is sour Well, it used to be so sweet (well) And I can't help but to wonder If you're talking about me, baby (oh, he talkin') We don't talk the way we used to And it's hurting me so deep I got my pride (I will not cry) But it's making me weak I'm not your superwoman I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (whoa, whoa, whoa) This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I find a way through the rush hour Trying to make it home just for you I want to make sure that your dinner Will be waiting for you But when you get there you just tell me You're not hungry at all You said you'd rather read the paper And you don't want to talk You'd like to think I'm just crazy (crazy, crazy) When I say that you've changed Well, I think I know the problem You don't love me the same You're just going through the motions And you're not being fair I got my pride (I will not cry) But I can't help but care I'm not your superwoman (oh, no, no, no) I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (I'm only human) This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me Oh baby, look into the corners of your mind I'll always be there for you through good and bad times But I can't be that superwoman that you want me to be I'll give my love, everlasting love If you return love to me I'm not your superwoman (oh, no, no, no) I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (I'm only human) This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me Oh, if you feel it in your heart and you understand me Stop right where you are, everybody sing along with me Ooh-hoo-hoo-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (oh, oh, oh) I don't want to be super, super, superwoman (oh, no) I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (I'm only human) This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me I'm not your superwoman (oh no, oh no, oh no) I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down (don't let me, don't let me down) And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (only, only, only, only human, yeah) This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me I'm not your superwoman (I'm not your superwoman) I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down And think that everything's okay (don't even try it) Boy, I am only human (don't let me down, I'm only human) This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me
There's another version, similar to that, with vocals slightly different, there isn't? I've been looking for that version which Patti's melody is higher than that one... If anyone've knew about that, please help me 😅
@KD-yh8gg lol you thought you ate. The other two are screaming to be heard, and Dionne is singing, relaxed, and you can still hear her over that scream fest. She makes it look effortless.
