About me:
Beautiful, simply does not describe the incomparable force known to the world as Patti LaBelle. As time continues to evolve, the soulful songbird’s name has become synonymous with grace, style, elegance and class. Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards and spiritual sonnets have created the unique platform of versatility that Ms. Patti is known and revered for. As Patti LaBelle continues into her fourth decade of performing, the Philadelphia maven has returned to her roots with her latest project, The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle. “I was born gospel, so it’s not like I’m coming back or trying to impress people with this new gospel project. I’ve always done this. I’ve never done a whole album. That’s the only thing that’s missing,” observes the songstress. “I’ve come full circle where you can say it’s a complete project.” Always on her heart, coupled with ten years of mental preparation, timing has always been the key component amidst Patti’s busy schedule to complete this life inspired album. In between touring, taping her TV One show Living It Up With Patti LaBelle, acting – having made a special guest appearance in the Bryan Barber directed, OutKast movie Idlewild and with her Home Shopping Network endeavor Patti LaBelle Clothing, it’s no wonder that everything has been crafted according to a divine plan. “Because of Bud’s (longtime Musical Director and friend, Budd Ellison) situation, and I always wanted him to be involved with my gospel project because he was involved in all of my CD’s, I said I better start now because he’s slowly going away. That was my real reason for starting it.” Sadly, Bud Ellison passed away from prostate cancer before the completion of the album. Patti LaBelle has dedicated this album to his loving memory in addition to donating all the proceeds to a variety of cancer organizations. “We’re praying it is going to be one of my bigger albums that I won’t be paid for. In a way, my payback will be we sold so many records and this money went to cancer research.” Music industry veteran Jheryl Busby lent his time, talent and treasure overseeing the The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle via his Umbrella Recordings, and the guest appearances alone raise an eyebrow, as the all-star line up boasts of a who’s who across musical genres. “Many people do things like this and you never hear about it. I think it’s the right thing to do because you have to help wherever you can when you’re in the position to help. I’m in the position, I don’t need the money, but they need it for research so we can find out why we lost our loved ones and so that we don’t have to lose any more.” The first co-singles possess sure fire messages within the music. “Anything,” co-written by Patti LaBelle and longtime collaborator Sami McKinney, produced by Nisan Stewart features gospel duo Mary Mary, producer/lyricist Kanye West and his latest protégé Consequence. With its pulsating drum beat, its inspirational message of being able to accomplish anything as a child of the King resonates. “Where Love Begins” featuring Yolanda Adams is a groovy mid-tempo written by legendary songwriter Denise Rich and co-produced by Troy Taylor and Gordon Chambers. Guitar riffs and hand claps stir the encouraging words “deep from within, because that’s where love begins.” Co-producers Taylor and Gordon also contributed “Walk Away” featuring the incomparable CeCe Winans. Soft piano chords give way to the melodic harmony as the two women share their thoughts about overcoming obstacles by simply walking away from the enemy toward positivity. Country superstar Wynonna Judd lends her vocal prowess to the Shavoni and Sami McKinney produced track “Everything,” about God’s all encompassing power and love. Anointed gospel powerhouses Tye Tribbett and GA, J Moss and the Soul Seekers lend their talents to “Pray Today,” “He Loves You,” and “God Ain’t Through,” respectively. “Pray Today,” co-written by Patti LaBelle and Sami McKinney was written seven years prior to the album coming together and ironically was one of the first recorded songs, while “He Loves You” is one of Patti LaBelle’s favorites. “You Are My Friend” was written and recorded nearly 30 years ago by Patti and Budd Ellison, co-produced by Ellison and Sami McKinney. “It’s Budd. He’s all through this album. Singing it makes me cry because I feel him all over the place, but it’s very, very therapeutic.” A 14+ city church tour will accompany the release of The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle. Beginning at The Potter’s House in Texas, home to Bishop TD Jakes, Patti was blessed to have gospel legend Shirley Ceasar pray a special prayer, “for people to accept me as the new carrier of His word. God is working on me, He’s working through me, and He’s putting changes all over me – positive. I know I’m chosen. I know this is something I was meant to do. For 10 years now I’ve been trying to do this gospel album and I finally did it. And it feels so good singing these songs.” For Patti LaBelle, she simply desires for her fans not to judge her with this record and to be aware that this gift is from her heart and deep within her soul. “I want them to take away a beautiful message. I want them to take away a beautiful CD, which means take it home, buy it so that we can help with this cancer calling.” That humility and honesty has been the true gospel according to Patti LaBelle. “Staying a person that people can say they encountered and she was very, very giving. She didn’t get Hollywood on us. I never want to be thought of as a Hollywood person, you know the people who don’t have time for the people who made them.” The same motivation that had Patricia Louis Holt blossom from a choir member to lead vocalist for Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles to a solo artist is the same energy that keeps her fire burning at six-two years young. “Each year I grow, and that’s a blessing from God. I do what I can do. I do what I feel God has given me the energy to do, so I just go out there and I do it…It’s not about making money because I don’t need money, but I need to sing. With a voice or without, I’ve got to get on that stage.” And the world is thankful that Patti LaBelle’s preaching sounds so good to our ears. ..

Prince America says leave church alone we pray after 7
After a recent appeal its noted officials are trying to take us out of schools or meeting after school hours . The neighborhood quotes it's ok they make That noise anyway can't nobody hear nothing anyway , it's law ,everybody paid (overtime) bloomberg ain't pay out his pocket and the man that own them buildings gave them permission . Churches harassed by illegal policy's regulations acts and statues never implemented or approved only socially excepted by people practicing methods of thinking that produce uncondusive envirments or small demographics Also these politicians stopping people's right of religion . These organizations who are similar to watch dog groups are abusing the process because their grounds for action comes from a sense of belief in belief rather than their belief in facts . One must use judgement when believeing in opinion or unfactual information not supported with accredable history . Churches belief are in religion . Religions are factual belief systems that express belief in a higher power or supreme being . These groups organizations or governments have no suffienct reason for the new policy of after hour programing .
But you as a church must make a stand for your religion it started with separation of church and state which was deemed unfair treatment and never legally formally implemented Between we have seen pray taken out of school which has lead to society subconnsiouly thinking god is myth not facts of history .

Dear Ms Labelle''
I am proud to be one of your butterflies and I have made your spotlight in recent past. Thank you for the opportunity to share my story with you. My friend my sister my idol. I am writing to you in hopes that this note finds you, because my dream to hear you sing in person and meet you have been dampend. Thus far on two different occassions I have purchaced front row tickets to see you perform, once in Niagara Fall's New York, actually it was in Tonawanada at the Melody Fair and In Canton Ohio at the O'jay's benifit concert. Both times you cancelled the show and i was so dissapointed and sadden that I couldn't get the chance to meet you or see you perform. i know people love you and you are worthy, but I know I love you as well. In this life I have had some dreams, and one of my dreams is to actually grace your presence. Ms Patti you will be performing in Niagara Falls New York at the Seneca Casino on October 29th, and I told myself that I will give it one more chance to see you, but unfortunetly this time I didn't get front row seats I am 16 rows back and not very close to actully see you up close and personal. I guesss i just have to except the fact that at least i will be there,but I am for ever grateful that God has blessed me to be in the same room with you. I wish I could meet you, you don't know how happy you would make me and my sister patricia. Who ever receives this letter will you please asked Ms Patti if she will make my dream a reality please. My name is Danette Lewis, I live in Akron Ohio, formally I lived in Niagara Falls New York, I am 51 years of age I am a law abiding citizen and I have a wonderful family. telephone number is (330) 632-0154. if this letter for some reason doesn't find you I pray in my heart that one day it will. i love you my sister patti. Danette lewis
HAVE A GREAT HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. LABELLE!
