La Belle Supreme

One of the grande dames of music, and one of the greatest voices! From the sexy "Lady Marmalade" to the irresistable dance beat of "Stir It Up", this CD gives every fan's ears a feast. Gotta add this one to your collection. March 13, 2007

How can you not love Patti?

Patti LaBelle is not my normal type of genre that I listen to, but how can one resist getting this CD with some great songs such as "If You Ask Me To", "Oh, People," as well as the classic "Lady Marmalade."

Great singer, great voice, great personality...now, I just want to see her live in concert. February 7, 2007

Patti Labelle - Great Songstress

This is a great collection of hits. It includes a good mixture of some of her more recent songs and some of her older hits. I truly enjoyed it. August 24, 2006

I would have picked different songs, but it's still all good!

I hold Patti LaBelle in the same regard as many hold Barbra Streisand - she to me is THE VOICE. No one can do what Patti can do. I have never heard a woman who has a genuine "third" voice to her range (in men they call it falsetto), and it is truly exhilarating to hear her do a glissando from a low note all the way up to the very top of her range and split your speakers wide open!!! NO ONE ELSE CAN DO THE BLEEP PATTI DOES!! She is amazing!

I only give this CD 4 stars because I have issues with the tracklisting. In my opinion, Greatest Hits CDs should contain only HITS, not filler. And The Bluebelles never really had a major hit anyway. I think she should have had it all PATTI SOLO, with the lone exception being of course "Lady Marmalade" with LaBelle (ya gotta have that!)

Patti had 13 Top Ten solo R&B hits at the time this cd came out and I think that they should have been the focus of this cd and ALL should have been included.

Also, final point, is that it is odd that Patti didn't include a new song on this cd as most people do nowadays - throwing a new song on a Greatest Hits cd to make it extra special! Fact is, this CD wa released in conjunction with Patti autobiography, Don't Block The Blessings, and I think that song, which appeared six months later on FLAME, should have finished off the CD, coming right after one of my favorites, "When You Been Blessed (Feel Like Heaven)".

COLLECTORS - Take note, there are 3 single versions here: Tracks 8, 15, & 16 are the single mixes. So that makes it kind of cool, but I think all the songs here should have been the hit single mixes cuz you can fit more songs that way. But that's just me.

All hail PATTI LABELLE, she is the TRUE DIVA! March 25, 2006
