Last night’s Verzuz featuring soulful icons Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle is just what the world needed! The two divas faced off in a musical battle, but the songstresses showed nothin’ but love for each other in a historic reunion that had the feel-good vibes of a soulful Sunday dinner!
Coming live from the Philadelphia Fillmore Theater, Patti played timeless hits like “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”, “If You Asked Me To”, “Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)”, “New Attitude”, “On My Own”, “If You Asked Me To,” and many more. Gladys gave us legendary hits like “Licence to Kill”, “Neither One of Us”, “Love Overboard” and the monumental smash hit “Midnight Train to Georgia”. But no one was ready for fellow diva Dionne Warwick to pop up on stage for “That’s What Friends Are For”.
