Free Music Notes for Gospel According to Patti Labelle
Free Music Review: Patti's voice and Patti's spirit are both still PHENOMENAL !!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a PATTI fan since the days of LaBELLE!! I still have one of their albums in my collection. And I would have been a Bluebells fan, but I wasn't old enough to work the turntable by myself.
The first time I played this CD I was a little (just a smig) dissapointed that it wasn't traditional gospel like the songs she adds to her concerts (I never missed any of her concerts at DAR Constitution Hall in DC in the 80's). I was expecting those songs but by the second time listening to this, I learned that you can't hold Patti to the ol' standby's. Yes, we've "gone to church" with Sister Patti at the shows, but now lets let her spread her wings and do a little traditional sound along with some of the contemporary sounds as well.
These days if artists just stick with the ol' standby's, people will complain that they've heard them all before. AND the younger generation, the ones who hold the purse strings these days, want to hear New School stuff.
One point that a previous reviewer/semi-hater pointed out would actually be a great idea. Now that Miss Patti has done her long-awaited (studio) gospel CD, would she consider doing a LIVE Gospel CD???? You know, all those songs that she sings at the concerts that have made us cry and shake like we're about to turn the concert halls into sanctuaries of worship and praise. SISTER Patti will have you doing a holy dance one moment and drawing tears up from the depth of your soul the next. That's a Spirit that can't be duplicated, or rehearsed, or have tracks laid on top of.
MISS PATTI, if you're reading these reviews, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE oblige us, your LOYAL fans from way back, the ones who have your music on vinyl, 8-track, cassette tape and compact disc (not to mention DVD) in their collection. PLEASE let the rest of the world experience that joy that you given us (at concerts). You won't have to do any duets, or special arrangements, or have any special deals drawn up-- just have someone hit RECORD at one of your concerts and put the word out. By the time the loyal fans play it one time for the so-so fans, your GIFT will be unstoppable. Little children on the most remote island in the Pacific will be saying "PATTI, PATTI, PATTI!!!!!!!!"
And remember--DON'T BLOCK YOUR BLESSINGS, Miss Patti!!!!!
Free Music Review: God's love Presented by Patti Labelle
Hit: 5 Stars
While the title, The Gospel According to Patti Labelle, may seem a bit contradictory of sorts, since Patti is known for singing secular (or "worldly") music, this CD is evidence that the Lord uses whomever He will to bring forth His message of love. Patti doesn't preach, she simply sings with her unique fervent, and seemingly heartfelt effort, songs of God's love. I've listened to this CD at least 100 times, and I haven't tired of it yet (my kids have threatened to hide it from me).
My favorite song is "He Loves You", sung with J. Moss. It's a simple, touching reminder that no matter what your circumstances ... He still loves you. There's also a great song called "My Everything" sung with Wynonna Judd - yes, Wynonna can sing gospel with as much comfort and ease as she sings country music.
Patti did a great job collaborating with a number of artists on this CD such as Kanye West, and Mary Mary too. I've cried listening to this CD at times, and experienced true praise and worship from listening to these beautiful love songs.
To be honest, I was not a great fan of Patti's (secular) music, but I'm in awe of her talent on this CD. If you want to fall in love with Jesus or want a deeper relationship with the Lord, I believe this CD will take you there.
Free Music Review: People, listen up.

This is an excellent CD. Patti has stretched her talent to new heights. Just when you think that she has been there done that, she takes you somewhere you have never been. Patti collaborated with some of the best Gospel artists the industry has to offer (Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, CeCe Winans to name a few).
This CD contains a mix of the old spiritual feel (God Ain't Through) for instance and although it is not what we here in a concert, it is a song that stands on its' own. I agree with some others in that a gospel CD geared toward what we would normally here Patti belt out in concert must be done live!
That said, you go Patti!
Finally, if you are looking for traditional gospel like Albertina Walker, this is not the CD for you but if you are like me and just like Gospel, Traditional, Contemporary and etc, then do not miss out!
Free Music Review: GREAT CD, GREAT VOCAL RANGE
Hit: 5 Stars
I REALLY LIKED THIS CD. I REALLY LIKE TRACK #6, GOD AINT THROUGH WORKING ON YOU, WALKING AROUND HEAVEN IS BEAUTIFUL, IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE LOVE ONES I MISS SO MUCH AND ONE DAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. I REALLY LIKE THE DUET WITH WYNONA, GREAT VOCAL BLEND, AND THE LORDS PRAYER SHE HITS RIGHT OUT THE BALL PARK WITH SOARING VOCALS. I LOVE THE NEW SPIN ON YOU ARE MY FRIEND. I THINK SHE DID A GREAT JOB. ALL THE HATERS NEED TO REALIZE THE WOMAN IS 62 YEARS YOUNG AND NOBODY SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME. TINA TURNER HAS STOPPED TOURING AND RECORDING. GLADYS KNIGHT CANT SELL A CD THESE DAYS AND HER NEW JAZZ CD IS AWFUL AND POOR DIONNE IS A LOST CAUSE. SO PATTI IS STILL THE ENTERTAINER IN A CLASS ALL HER OWN. NO ONE CAN TOUCH HER EVEN ON HER WORST DAY. AND THERES STILL NOBODY BETTER LIVE!!Free Music Review: I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
You guys have been really hard on Patti here. But then again everyone has the right to their own opinion. If I was Patti and I read all these comments about how bad the CD is and how she has lost her voice, I would think it was time to throw in the towel and stop singing. Is that what you want her to do? Listen to the CD a few more times and I'm sure it will get better for you. We need to encourage the over 60 R&B artists so they will continue to record for us so that we get a chance to hear a new project every year or two. If Patti was to stop singing I for one would be devastated. But like I said if I read all these negative reviews and I was in my 60's I would certainly consider retiring. Any Patti fan would find her retirment unbearable. Think about it.
