Patti LaBelle: “Purple Rain”
Has LaBelle had better live performances? Sure she has. But can you really blame us for taking notice of one of the greatest voices in all of music tackling a classic anthem like “Purple Rain.” We didn’t think so. Singing live at the 2010 BET Awards, LaBelle took Prince’s rock-infused ballad and gave it her own brand of gospel and soul. When she “oooos” in the break, we can’t help but shiver with musical delight.
