Most of you already know that I love making these videos. It's like an addiction. I know this is because I always feel as if the one before it wasn't good enough. And this is where I leave you: good memories, and the voice of our Reina.
FINALLY! I'VE FOUND IT! Patti Labelle and Celia Cruz singing Quimbara TOGETHER!! I had to thank God for this because I've been waiting so long and it was posted once but gone so fast! I will keep it here forever!!! It's two forces in music coming together and breaking barriers. I had to celebrate!
Two divas. Two voices. One tribute. To Patti LaBelle; the soulful stage-claiming siren with a gospel flare, sending every high note through the roof and into the stratosphere. And to salsa's queen Celia Cruz, the sultry contralto whose hypnotizing voice sounds off as a battle cry, propelled like dynamic thunder.
I salute you both..
I'm back, so what. This is just a good-bye video. I put together pics of her funeral and pieces of articles that were made about it. If I decide to make another it should be my trip to her museum exhibit in Miami.
Which version do you think is funnier? I have to admit, the slow motion for one of the scenes..I cracked the HELL UP! Then in one of the others it was the fast version that had me dying. Judge for yourself! Part 2 coming soon...
Just a couple of clips from "Which Way Is Up?" one of Richard Pryor's funniest movies. If you haven't seen it, it's a must.
