00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: me and you started this show, we always everyone that

14
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: you know, give it to legends. We wanted our platform

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: because in this game, when when people are season and

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: they have ten years or more, or fifteen years or more,

17
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,399

19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,880

Speaker 1: who could maintain that relevance, who could maintain that substance,

21
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: and that people always look to them and say, this

22
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: is the people we want to be like. So the

23
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: person that we're talking about, it's not only a queen,

24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: not only a legend as an icon, She's dominated in

25
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: so many different fields. We we was just listening to

26
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: her hits and god damn, it just kept going more

27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: and more and more. It's movies all and then she

28
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: came with the sweeper Tato Pope because for those that

29
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: don't know, when you're black, we sweep Tato Pope and

30
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: not another ship Punky when I'm not. So in case

00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: your interviews. This is a very awkward question, but I

35
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: need to start with this. Did you get rid of

36
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: that flip phone? No, I have an Android. You'd wait,

39
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: enough to almost throw that one away. It's a little flip.

40
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: Since my nails are so much, I try to press

41
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: those things so that my my my friend Edward said

44
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: touched and the number didn't come up, and so I

Speaker 1: got angry. So I really think I'm going to get

46
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: rid of that one too. I wanted to get a smartphone,

47
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: but I can get in trouble because people can hear

48
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: you if you're talking about them when they hangs up

49
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880

00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,640

124
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: and Aretha at the White House, and then Aretha walked

125
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: by you, and that was the time that people started

126
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: to say because in hip hop, I started to think

127
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: that the girls can't get along right, and I'm and

128
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: it's it's like, it's notable when hippa. So I never

129
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: thought that this was happening in your world back then,

130
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: and when I researched it and then and that's like

131
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: one of the first things that came up. Well, let

132
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: me say something. I watched Snoop's interview on your show,

133
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: the things that they were saying about him and Pine

134
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Diddy that it wasn't good, but it was good. Me

135
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: and a wreath, we were good. Okay. The time when

136
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: she did the White House, she was not feeling great. Okay,

137
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: after the White House, we spoke on the phone. She

138
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: called me because she was very interested in having her

139
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: items in Walmart. We talked about food, we talked about

140
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: recording together. This is after the White House. She always

141
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: loved me at the time. I don't think she was

142
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: feeling great. No telling how I would be if I

143
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: wasn't feeling my best and somebody walked by me and

144
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: said hey, and I didn't speak, It must have been

145
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: for a real reason, because I did her the White

146
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: House of the thing, you know, the honors, the legend,

147
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: the honors, uh uh nath Kennedy, Kennedy Honors. When she's

148
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: sitting up in the wave top boot, I sang Ain't

149
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: no Way because she warned me to do at Essence U,

150
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: the TV show Essence along with Susan Taylor. Aretha wanted

151
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: me to sing Ain't no Way, and I did and

152
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: it was a standing ovation. She called me to her

153
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: seat afterwards done and said you did okay, And I

154
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: said it's okay, baby. I mean, she loved me. It

155
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: wasn't a love hate. It was a love. And when

156
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling well, you might get the other side

157
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: of Aretha. So that's all it was, you guys. I

158
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: never took it to heart. She's my number one hero,

159
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: always has been, always will be. And I wanted to

160
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: clear this up on this wonderful show because people think

161
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're like I feel, Jasmine Sullivan hated me.

162
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: Let me say something. Last week she made my heart

163
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: pald hard. She called me, we're the same gentleman um

164
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: Mark Keys who made this outfit and the outfit that

165
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: I wore for essence the last couple of weeks ago.

166
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: He's good friends with Jasmine and so, he said, Jasmine

167
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: and I always just to talk about who's coming to

168
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: Patty Labelle's party first, you or me. So she's always

169
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: had this love for me. But whatever I would see her,

170
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: she shy, and I would give her all these props

171
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: and stuff. I said, Baby, they're alone like me. My

172
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: feelings were hurt until last week when we talked on

173
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: the phone. She said, Patti Lapelle, you're my everything. She said,

174
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I love you so much. I get shy when I'm

175
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: around you. So you see how things are misunderstood. This business,

176
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: so ugly business. Sometimes people want to make us hate

177
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: each other and say, oh, she don't like her. Well,

178
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: Jason and I are recording, so you know, I'm I'm

179
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: after fifteen years, I haven't recorded R and B. So

180
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing stuff with her in a bunch of other sweeties.

181
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to clarify that for me because

182
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: I was holding this thing that she didn't like me.

183
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: She loved at Patti LaBelle. Okay, so thank you Jasslle,

184
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: right right, talk about the real honey. Don't let people

185
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: think negative all the time. Bust that up. And I

186
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: believe in telling the truth to a fault. I can

187
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: trouble sometimes because you talk too much. I say too

188
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: many things. And he said, why did you say that?

189
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: As citizens on my heart? Let next that were wonderful

190
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,719

00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: for his word. I said, I bet he didn't blow

219
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: And after that we found out who he was. But meanwhile,

220
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: he's our president of our family. We didn't have a

221
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,559

Speaker 1: wheeled himself into the weekend and what a man. And

225
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: after that, when he got money, he bought me diamonds. Lalik,

226
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: I have some of his birds, birds that he Barton

230
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: I got some stories for you. Yeah I didn't. I

231
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: didn't know the Luther depart. I thought I knew a

232
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: lot of people the Luther depart when he shook me up,

233
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: especially how he did it, because everyone has the beginning,

234
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: but to see how humble that beginning was, like, yeah,

235
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: like damnit stylist to like the number one pop singer

236
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: in the world and the world, and did you see

237
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: that in him when you first let him in the room?

238
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: Didn't see anything but I see those boys all I

239
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: so was free, free cut, sunny. So No, I just

240
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: saw a great man. Ever knew he had that talent.

241
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah you have, You have these these great stories. Like

242
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: there's a piano guy that you you was working with

243
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: in London named Reginald Wright, Reginald Right. Let me see

244
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: if I got the story correct. So Reginald Right was

245
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: playing back up for you, and I think he wanted

246
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: to quit because at this time, because people were homosexuals

247
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: weren't being accepted at that time you told him you

248
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: keep going. You speak to Reginald White. Couple of years later,

249
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: you asked Reginald White, um, he actually, can you come

250
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: out to a show? And you said, well, who are

251
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: you being a show for? And he said, it's me.

252
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm Elton Jaws. That's the way it happened that I

253
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: didn't even have to tell you the story. So he

254
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: was at the Spectrum and fill it up here. And so, uh,

255
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: I got this call from I'm saying, Hi, Patty, it's Reggie.

256
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: I said, I Hey, Reggie, what's up? He said, I'm

257
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: at the Spectrum to light. I said, who's opening? I mean,

258
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: who's closing the show? He said, I'm opening to the show.

259
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm Elton john Now, I said, you pump. You made

260
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: it before me said I'm sorry. I did give me

261
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: my tubleware back his group they were called Bluesology, I think,

262
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: and I fed them every night after the show because

263
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: nobody had any pounds, they didn't have any money, and

264
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: I always cooked. So I gave him and his band

265
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: food to take home and tubleware. And so I'm a

266
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: tubleware shopping bag queen. If I gave you a beautiful

267

Speaker 1: shopping bag or a beautiful piece of tubberware. I wanted back.

268
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: So when I saw him the next time, we recorded

269
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: at Caesar's with the red piano show that he was doing,

270
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: and we did a duet. Um what was that song?

271
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: We did Zuri your song on my album and it

272
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: was beautiful. And after he finished, he left his ring

00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: me eat. So I set the table and so I said, okay,

305
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: let's eat. I said, what's wrong with you? He said

306
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: this all I want? I said, okay, I love you anyway.

307
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: So then after that we played pool in his house

308
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: with my musical director Bud Ellison, who's no longer hear,

309
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: and he said that everything he earned and music was

310
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: from my musical director, Bud Ellison. Now Bud was phenomenally

311
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: a hight. It was just one of the best compliments

312
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: everybody can anybody can give you. So then we went

313
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: to a club and we danced. We were dancing. He

314
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: had on his pumps and I had on my pumps,

315
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: and we were throwing down. Because he likes to be

316
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: tall and I love him. He was all right, let's

317
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: go with that. I'm just going with that. I'm just

318
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: going with the same height. We were dancing. Damn, you

319
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: know you can dance and I can't. But I pretended

320
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: like I was like doing something. So then we went

321
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: to the disco. Then after that he took me back

322
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: to my hotel and then he called me. About four

323
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: months later, Arsenio Hall called me and said, Arsenia said, Patty,

324
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I think it was in three days.

325
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: I said, cooking, just so. I ain't got no no jobs,

326
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: so I'm chilling. He said, could you come to my show?

327
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: I said, I just said your show not so long ago.

328
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Why he said, because Prince won't do it unless you

329
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: do it with it. So I said Why what am

330
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: I gonna do saying with him? He said, no, he

331
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: just wants your presence on on the days where we

332
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: were sitting in the chairs, I get things mix up.

333
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: So I went on and I said and printed a

334
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: little talking, and our senior kept looking at me, said, Patty,

335
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: you on energet No, I don't know what to say,

336
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: held my hand and it was such an honor that

337
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: he wanted me to be there with him as a

338
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: comfort blanket. It's just so many great things that happened

339
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 1: to me in this business. I have so many showbusiness daughters,

340
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: so many showbusiness sons, so many nieces and nephews, and

341
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: I'm mother of everybody. My son, natural son, Zory, my baby.

342
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: He has about fifty million sisters and brothers, you know.

343
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: And and he didn't mind, you know, do you Jory?

344
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: My mom? Don't forgetting Hey man, I've been doing my dude,

345
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: just to make sure I'm bouncing around a little bit.

346
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: But let's just let's just how did we even start

347
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: to think? Because what was the internet guy that that?

348
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: I think he ate the pie and everyone. James James

349
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: James uh from Chanelle White from l A. He's my

350
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: best friend. Now we didn't know him, but at the

351
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: time we were in London performing and got this video

352
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: of this guy doing this video. That's well, that's sweet.

353
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 1: Thank god. The pies had already been selling, you know,

354
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: so when he did that, they sold even more. Yeah,

355
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, he's one of my better friends. And um,

356
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: I think some people are saying, let's get it real

357
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: that I didn't take care of him. Okay, it wasn't planned.

358
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: And I did take care of him, Okay. Me and

359
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Zori we make sure we make sure people are you know,

360
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: not used or abused. So ins that we did for

361
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: James and he appreciated. But people have the chit chat

362
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: and talk like I should have brought him a mansion

363
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: or something. You know, what's that kind of pro It

364
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: was organic, you know. So I always wanted to hit

365
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: that story straight. And we're friends, we talk, He comes

366
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: and stays with me and coax for me because he's

367
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: a great chef. So that story is a phenomenal story. Yea,

368
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: even already already and doing quite well, but he just

369
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: put that extra kid to it. I love him for that.

370
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: I do. Do we make some moise for him? Huh?

371
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: Do we make I mean, why not always give props

372
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: where props are. Do you know I never use anybody

373
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: or abuse anyone. That's my baby. So let's just think

374
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: about this. What happened. Someone is at the house and

375
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: they're eating this peepotator poe. I say, we gotta sell us, Like,

376
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: how did this happen? Like it happened because of my

377
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: um my there and grandmother's recipe, and I added a

378
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: little something to it. And I think people know me

379
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: not as just a singer, but as a cook. And

380
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: I cook all the time. So why shouldn't my pie

381
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: be good? Tell me why? So it happened just because

382
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: it's a good pie. It's no better than your grandmother's

383
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 1: or your mother's, but it's a Patti pie, you know.

384
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: And like I said, I know I don't make the

385
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: best pie in the world. I know that I don't

386
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: make the best macaroni in the world. But this happened

387
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: to hit and people really enjoyed Patty's pipe, the little

388
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: baby fifty cent ones and all the little little goodies.

389
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: What was the first product that that that won't go off?

390
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: And someone said we have to start selling it? What

391
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: was the first product? I think it was a pie.

392
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: It was a sweepotato pie. Right, it was a sweepetato

393
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: pie because like, because you do white people able to eat,

394
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: they eat pie. But we have a pumpkin pie coming out.

395
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: That's taste everybody, right, right, right, everybody, I see, so

454
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's fantastic. I'm not a fancy like

455
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: rosemary and time and all that stuff for my plate.

456
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Don't put nothing like that on my food because when

457
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: I go to restaurants, people think I'm fancy. So the

458
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: plate comes out dressed up rosemary and time garnishes, and

459
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to crags. I eat that. I don't

460
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: do good. I don't know. I don't know why they're

461
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: doing that. We don't like that. Give me basic food. Yes,

00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: but do you ever ate a carbone? No, we're gonna

00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: get you that car. We're gonna get bone tonight. That

464
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: is like the most popular restaurant, yes out here? Yeah,

Speaker 1: the red carpet codes with you. Just give me a part.

467
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: I love you so much. When you was an artist,

468
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: what did you like more making the music or performing

469
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: the music? Or that was because she is Yeah, yeah

470
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: that's right. I mean I look at myself I love

471
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: them both equally. Although the making of the music, you

472
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: can do one song and make a hundred takes out

473
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: of it and they end up using the first take

474
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: you did, you know. So I've always said to the producers,

475
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: how many more times you're gonna have me say that

476
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: word on? Like what I did on my own honey.

477
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: The producer made me say, now you have to say one.

478
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: I said, I want to say one I say on

479
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: my own, and he made me so mad I threw

480
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: the song away until Richard uh and Carl barrs Sarah

481
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: came um back around, came and said, Patty, please, do

482
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: you want to do this song? I said no, I'm

483
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: not going to talk about the producer, not with him.

484
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: I said, but I love the song. He said, would

485
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: you like to do it as a duet? So I said,

486
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: sets an answer. He said, who do you like? I said,

487
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: I love Michael McDonald And so they got Michael and

488
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: he did his uh somewhere and I did mine somewhere.

489
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: We did our videos. I was in Brooklyn and he

490
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: was in Malibu when we did though on my own video.

491
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: When we first met was on Johnny Carson. That's when

492
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: we first met. After doing the song together. I'm so

493
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: happy to throw that away. I love that song, yes,

494
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: and I love Michael McDonald. You know, it's crazy the

495
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: new people now that use this record. It's two things.

496
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: As soon as you hear he's like, oh, I know

497
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't broke up Instagram up first this first posting

498
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: three thousand pictures together and love you see what happens.

499
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy that both couples individually boasted songs separately.

500
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: So it's like one of those songs. I mean, it's

501
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: just one of my favorite songs to've seen and I've

502
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: done it with so many different duet partners. Uh, you know,

503
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: and well, I just love it. I love right about Michael.

504
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Your interactions with Michael, I had not many because we

505
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: didn't record together, we didn't video together. We did Johnny

506
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: Carson together and that was all we wrote after that.

507
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: I did see him at another performance, but we never

508
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: really talked. Talk but I'm almost sure he's laid back

509
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: and quiet. Yeah, because I'm shy, and I think he

510
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: is shy a little. So I'm not a great conversationalist.

511
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't talk too much when I see people one

512
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: on one. Are you that way? Yea. Sometimes, yeah, I

513
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: shy away from people a lot, unless a crown, and

514
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: then it's on. Yes, yes, yes, because because I was

515
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: acting that earlier. Because this is when you go google

516
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: see you on YouTube? Is the famous Patty kick? Will

517
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: you kick your shoes off? Do you know about that?

518
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: It's a whole I know about it, and thank god

519
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: I started kicking them off because my corns were hurting,

520
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: and I said, this shoe was killing my foot and

521
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: it has to come off. And so sometimes they stick

522
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: to your feet unless you have vasiline on your feet something,

523
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: the shoe slides off. I didn't have vasoline this night,

524
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: and that suckers stayed on. Like when I did Dance

525
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: with the Stars, I had a part where I kicked

526
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: the shoe off. It wouldn't come off. I was saw embarrassed.

527
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: It was live and the shoe was stuck with my

528
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: freaking foot. I said, no, not to night boot, but

529
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm known for kicking that. I still kick him off.

530
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: You still, oh, yes, okay, that's that's a signature move.

531
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: The baby fantasious she started kicking hers. I said, fantasie

532
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: your way through a fourth song, because that half of

533
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: will go out there and kick him up on the first.

534
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: That's my first. So many baby girls. Yeah, she's a kicker.

535
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who's met Patty and said that

536
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: they don't love you really like I haven't met him like.

537
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if they exist. I bet they do.

538
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: They do. I've seen you talk about these such people

539
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: like Coline talk about them too dy, but I don't

540
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: see it. But I've never seen it, thank god. And

541
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: when I did, I confronted it. And she's in love

542
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: with Patty what I told you about? Okay, Yeah, because

543
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: I've seen you on the Breakface Club you were talking about.

544
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: You've seen somebody at Awards show. Oh girl, she'll name name,

545
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: she'll remain nameless. I can never tell you who she is,

546
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: but I'll never make friends with her. I can tell

547
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: you that already. She needs Jesus. Oh yeah she does.

548
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: I know, well you might, but you'll never hear from

549
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: my mouth. Never. Never. I mean her mother was loving

550
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: on me and she wasn't. I said, okay, did I

551
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: do something to you? I'm bad on her? Years old?

552
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: I know I couldn't go through about two. Are you

553
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: hating on me like this little girl? But it's Okay,

554
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm still loving myself. You do you feel like you

555
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: feel like because um, it's different from male has like ego,

556
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: sometimes women if it was like they're threatened by another woman.

557
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you still threatened like these young

558
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: snacks out here? No, I don't. I shouldn't. I mean,

559
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: I really should not. But if they take it like that,

560
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: then I take that as a high compliment. They might

561
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: by yeah, I'm saying that, but I wish they were not,

562
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: because I'm I am gonna talk to you because I've

563
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: been where they're going. So all I'm here is is

Speaker 1: to give you info, not to hate on them, and

568
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: don't hate on me if you don't really know me.

569
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: But then again, I take that to as a compliment.

570
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: You always have to take the high road in life, though,

571
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: and don't always think that something negative is going to

572
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: bother you. I was talking to my friend today ship here.

573

Speaker 1: My hairstylas as fine as she is and beautiful, people

574
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: are still trying to make her feel less than who

575
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: she is. You can't let that bother you. Take it

576
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: as a compliment. That's what I do. You also cooked

577
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,320

00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: ever had a Richard Pryor story on drinks? I think

580
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't ever anything. You're just messing me up. I

581
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: don't really Wait a minute, it's the best story. Okay,

582
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: which version of Richard Pryor we're talking? This is after

583
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: he burned, before before bay. Yeah, so you're with Richard

584
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: and um, he always thought that he wasn't paying me

585
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: enough money. Uh. On the tour, he said, you're too

586
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: damn good to be out here getting what I'm giving you.

587
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: I said, it's good, I'm good, right, he said, no.

588
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: So we were in Detroit and it was a Sunday. No,

589
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It was a Saturday. And he took me

590
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: to a car dealership and said that he wanted me

591
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: to pick out a car for his aunt. So I said, oh,

592
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: how old is he's about sixty something. I said, what

593
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: colors her hair? She said? He said gray. So I

594
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: saw a soft blue, beautiful car. I don't even know.

595
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: It was a Cadillac or I don't know what because

596
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't drive. I don't know what cars are. I

597
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: was in that fierce car this mor now I knew that,

598
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: but I had cars, but I don't know about cars.

599
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: So he said, turn the ignition on. I said, how,

600
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: I don't drive. He said, let me come in there.

601
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: So Richie came in and turned the car on and said,

602
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: this is your car. I said, oh no, my husband

603
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: won't kill me. I said, oh no, it ain't that

604
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: kind of party. Or he said, no, I love you.

605
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay you more. I want to give you more.

606
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: And so I said, okay, let's go to We went

607
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: to Benigan's and I said, Richard called my husband. Yeah,

608
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: Benigans right in Detroit. We went to Bennigan's and I said,

609
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: call him, I said, Arms said, somebody wants to talk

610
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: to you. So Richard got on the phrase. He said, man,

611
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: I just want your wife a car. I'm saying like that.

612
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: Just say I don't like her like that, I just

613
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: want her car. So we just said, man, I just

614
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: love her. I don't, well, I don't love her like

615
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: you love her. I said, okay. So Arms said said, well,

616
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: thank you sir, and so the car went to Philly.

617
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: I met while I can't dry, we had a car.

618
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: So that was the Riches story. And then he sent

619
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: me a song into my house. Then he brought me

620
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: loads of diamond bracelets. He said, you can't get enough

621
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: money out here for your town, which was a high compliment.

622
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: And that was that was the Richer prior story with me.

623
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: And when he was leaving not so well and getting

624
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: ready to pass um, he said some messages to me.

625
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: You know, I love him so much. But we did

626
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff together. I mean, I don't know

627
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: how long we toured, but he did that Sunset Boulevard thing,

628
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: and I think my name is on credits as Patti

629
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: LaBelle being a performer that night. So I performed that night,

630
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: and uh, I had the sax player, white guy. He said,

631
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: I can't say what he said to me. He said,

632
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: I said, Richard, what you said? He said, how to

633
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: play like that? But so many things he would say

634
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: to me. He loved my shoes, every pair of pumps.

635
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: Let me see those plumps. I said, what's up, bo Okay,

636
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,719

845
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: I just people. I can just tell from your relationship

846
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: with Aretha that you always called her queen you always,

847
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: even when times might have not seem shaky, but you

848
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: kept your classiness. Like I'm looking through this this stuff, um,

849
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like wow, Like you really a classy You're

850
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: you're the definition of class act. Like you know what

851
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Like we all got that in us, like

852
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: by being pushed too much, where we're gonna get to

853
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: the edge, and it seems like you ain't nowhere near

854
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: the age. Know that pushes me to the top. You

855
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: go to the opposite word. When the bottom tries to

856
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: get me to the bottom, it puts me higher up

857
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: because then I know I'm somebody that they might be

858
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: threatened by, which is an awful thing to feel as

859
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 1: though you're a threat to certain people. But when it

860
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 1: happens to me, I go way high, way high because

861
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: you can't bring me down. You just can't. And you

862
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: had a cooking show too. Oh yeah, I had a few, really,

863
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: but they sure put me off why, I don't know.

864
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: It didn't last very long. I had a few. I

865
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 1: can't really say why things happen the way they happened

866
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: to me or maybe other black women or black men.

867
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: But you roll with it as long as you have it.

868
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: Don't ever stop rolling, you know, and I'm still I'll

869
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 1: have another one. I have a few mores. You could

870
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: create your own network, I think, I am. What'd you say?

871
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: You could create your own network? Your own network? Yeah, well,

872
00:53:54,239 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: oh why not? Because we see of so crazy. One

873
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: day someone asked you. They said, um, patty, so we

874
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: can't get um no more uh no, no more pies.

875
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: And you said, because they add of potatoes. So I

876
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: had to call Oprah se potatoes. I was like, wait

882
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: even know like that, and then I'll tell you just

883
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 1: running the potato and this is better. You're singing poes

884
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: like paplo. Let's just be clear. Let's just so I could.

885
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: By the way, I know this gonna sound crazy. Come on,

886
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know sweetpotato pie came from potatoes? What from sweet?

889
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: never did. It's it's very honest. So how it happens

890
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: you had to call open for potatoes? Okay because you

00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,239

943
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: living with me. That was his music. So I I

944
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: started out loving jazz and listening to jazz and influenced

945
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: by my mother, who never sang, but her spirit was

946
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: a sung to me. Just wonderful woman. She didn't have

947
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: to sing. But I was influenced by the love of

948
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: my my mother. My sister is my sisters who are

949
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:06,040

Speaker 1: three babies, my three grand babies, so I have. I'm

954
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: influenced by the little thing my little baby did this morning. Uh,

955
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: he tried to pull my wig off. I said, baby, no,

961
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,880

1194
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: if you're very loyal, I know respect is in there.

1195

1198
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:07,160

Speaker 1: that if someone is loyal to you respect. We have

1203
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: people in different perspectives and feel that they don't need

1204
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:30,320

1215
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: but Dolly wanted me to record it. After she did.

1216
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: Because we were managed by Sandy gall and the same

1217
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 1: manager for both of us, and so we had a

1218

01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: know I was gonna love it this month, but I do.

1251
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:37,960

1255
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: for the Supremes? Yeah? Damn Like it wasn't the Supremes.

1256
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: It was the Iena and myself Back in the day

1257
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: because we did the Apollo together the Supremes, Patty Labell

1258
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: and the Blue Bells or where were we Little Bell

1259
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't know who we were, but we were on

1260
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 1: who Blue Bells Patty Blue blue Bells versus the Supremes

1261
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: and other acts. I think the Four Tops one on

1262
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,560
Speaker 1: Temptations because it's like five acts at those shows and

1263
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: used like four shows a day. And that's when I

1264
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: had to save my hot dogs on the light bulbs

1265
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: because I didn't have any for DM. You know, we

1266
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: we were poor, and every time between shows, I wur

1267
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: playing cards with the Four Tops and whoever was on

1268
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: the show and lose my money. So I always made

1269
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 1: sure I had my hot dog on the light bulb

1270
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: so I did have food after my money is going.

1271
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: And then the hot items. You know, people used to

1272
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: come to the Apollo Theory and sell hot clothes, Gucci

1273
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: and all that stuff for two dollars and when it

1274
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: was worth thousands, I bought all the clothes and all

1275
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I had moments with the Supremes at

1276
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: the show. We would to walf Walmart or wal Greens

1277
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: or one of those cheap stores and buy gold outfits

1278
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: and so the next day the day we wore them.

1279
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,639
Speaker 1: The next day, the Supremes had on the single things,

1280
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: so they were biting my style. No for real, I

1281
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 1: mean biting big. That's a girl when you've got no money.

1282
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: It's only after we have and so we both have

1283
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: on the same outfits. But it was after they saw ours.

1284
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 1: Somebody want to buy it. And we had issues up

1285
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:32,879
Speaker 1: until we did the Legends ball Oprah when Freeze Legends

1286
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: and Diana and I were at the same table. Thank god,

1287
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,679
Speaker 1: we made up because I love her. I mean, there's

1288
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: no more ever, There's never gonna be Supremes or Diana

1289
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 1: Rawson's the phenomenal group. I said, why can't we get along?

1290
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just wearing my clothes, you know, and doing

1291
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,839
Speaker 1: whatever I do. But it was something that was always

1292
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:58,560
Speaker 1: bubbling under with she and I and oh oh, I

1293
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: forgot Jesus, the main thing. Oh, Cindy bird Song was

1294
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: Patty LaBelle was sarad Ash, Nona Hendricks, Cindy bird Song

1295
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: and Patti LaBelle. We're in Cleveland. Oh my lord, I

1296
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: forgot this real story. We're in Cleveland, ready to go on.

1297
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: There are only three Patty LaBelle members Cindy bird Song

1298
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: had gone to Dake Florence Vallard's place with the Supremes.

1299
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 1: They had been rehearsing her for months, and that night

1300
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: she left us, Oh, left us to go with the Subtreeme.

1301
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 1: She jumped ship bittime. I forgot to tell that story, Okay.

1302
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 1: So the thing was, after it all settled in my bones,

1303
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: I said, thank god, she's making more money with them

1304
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 1: than she was with me. So I was it was

1305
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: a blessing for her, but do it the right freaking way,

1306
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: and Diane, don't come stealing my chicks in the night.

1307
01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: So she stole Cindy bird Song from me. I forgot

1308
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, that was a no no, that would

1309
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 1: be a no no, baby, But that happened. That's that's

1310
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:13,600
Speaker 1: why we had issues. And so when Cindy went with

1311
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: the Uh Supremes, all I could do was bless her

1312
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 1: and say, you know, I'm praying for you to climb.

1313
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 1: And then something happened that she's no longer with them.

1314
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: Diana left and left her without a blue bell or

1315
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 1: a paddle. Those things hurt me because they took her

1316
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: for the right reasons for them, but the wrong reason

1317
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: in the end, so yeah, that's why we have issues. Yeah,

1318
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: and but guess what we are now? We're friends now. Yeah,

1319
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: because it's so much stuff in this business you go

1320
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: through that you forgot you went through. I forgot all

1321
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: about until somebody just mentioned it and that was big. Yeah.

1322
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: So but we're friends. You weren't glad to snipe. Been

1334
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,160

Speaker 1: remind me, Mom, the song is only going to be

1336
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,679
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds, not three minutes. So the little lyrics

1337
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 1: they put up there. I didn't know those baby lyrics,

1338
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: so I just played myself and said, I don't don't

01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 1: to get up any kind of recording recorded back in

1503
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,679

Speaker 1: this year, Okay, but I promise you. I'm so long overdue.

1529
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know, but think about. But you've continued touring, yes,

1530
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:33,560
Speaker 1: And that's that's what You don't have to know the

1531
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: student for fifteen years and you can still talk eleven

1532
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:37,519
Speaker 1: months of the years. I think we need to make

1533
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 1: some noise out of that, because it's these people out there.

1534
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 1: They're making one song and it lasts for a certain amount,

1535
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:51,160
Speaker 1: and then you get so satisfied you buy jury and

1536
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:53,200
Speaker 1: you forget that this is work that goes with this.

1537
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: You still gotta wake up in the morning. You still

1538
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 1: got to put on a smile one of your door.

1539
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 1: And this is a prime example that actually didn't been

1540
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 1: in the studio for fifteen years and still and that's

1541
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 1: why three years after a year and a half you're

1542
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 1: You're so right. Like I said earlier, I know I'm blessed.

1543
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 1: I know I'm touched by angels. I know that I'm

1544
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:19,160
Speaker 1: still doing it because I still can do it. And

1545
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:22,720
Speaker 1: the record doesn't matter to the audience who come. They

1546
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 1: don't know if I've recorded last year, two years ago.

1547
01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: They don't care. They really just want to see a show.

1548
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: And whenever I'm outfair, I give, Oh God, I give

1549
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 1: a real show. No dancers, no fly by night, people

1550
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 1: behind me doing it, singing, no tracks, all music. I

1551
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 1: have a twelve piece band or something. I got something.

1552
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: I got four singers and eight band members or whatever.

1553
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:58,719
Speaker 1: And nothing's pretend nothing. Everything you hear is live, live, live, live,

1554
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's what's keeping me living during these live shows.

1555
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 1: That energy you get from that, all that energy, but

1556
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 1: they give it to you back. You can shoot the

1557
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:16,520
Speaker 1: shoot verse point ki and you're talking like that, feelingly

1558
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 1: you do need a backup dancers. He's tired right now.

1559
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,559
Speaker 1: Thank you. Have you been to one of my shows?

01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:39,639

1568
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: I can fly on the plane before we had to

1569
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 1: do the station wagon back in Oh. Look, it was

1570
01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:55,519
Speaker 1: so bad. We were we were touring with the Rolling

1571
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 1: Stones back in the day. So we had to arrived

1572
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 1: from Philly to l A. Uh we said, at the Hope,

1573
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:05,200
Speaker 1: Hollywood and Vine hotel and they also stayed there. The

1574
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,760
Speaker 1: tickets for that show was three dollars and fifty cents

1575
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:11,000
Speaker 1: to see the Rolling Stones and we were called Patti

1576
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: Lavell and the Bluebells. I think we were so stressed

1577
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 1: by driving from Philly to l A. We fought me, Sarinona.

1578
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:22,400
Speaker 1: We fought in the dressing room, No, in my hotel suite.

1579
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 1: So we are stopped in Detroit on the way, and

1580
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:27,560
Speaker 1: I bought some clothes. We all bought some clothes with

1581
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 1: our damn but fearce little clothes. And so I'm the

1582
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: one who loves to dress. I'll dress going to the supermarket.

1583
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 1: You will not catch me in jeans and tights and

1584
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I'm coming in a full suit. So

1585
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,679
Speaker 1: we bought these clothes and I said, okay, girls, guess

1586
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: what they want us to do a radio show. Let's

1587
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:49,280
Speaker 1: get dressed. Everybody got dressed, and after that, I said,

1588
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:52,760
Speaker 1: psych honey. We started fighting and said you lie in

1589
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,320
Speaker 1: some some names they called me. It was the right

1590
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 1: to call me those names, and I said I was

1591
01:43:57,400 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 1: only player having fun, and so they tried to fight,

1592
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:01,800
Speaker 1: and so I took a bag of pecans and threw

1593
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:04,439
Speaker 1: him at Sarah. It cracked the mirror and she got

1594
01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 1: cut with the glass. We were so loud Mick Jagger

1595
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:09,919
Speaker 1: knocked on our door. I swear to God, who said, Lergies,

1596
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,600
Speaker 1: Lergies to show us tonight. What's wrong? I said, I

1597
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: was just playing, having some fun time. We had to

1598
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 1: do a radio show and you can't see us on radio,

1599
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 1: so we didn't have to get dressed. But I said,

1600
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 1: let's get you anyway, and he stopped the fight. The argument.

1601
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 1: But I'm bad, I'm very very I'm a prankster and

1602
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 1: I loved I love to play jokes on people, so

1603
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:35,439
Speaker 1: that was a joke. It almost got me, but it didn't.

1604
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 1: But I said, as I say something else, what do

1605
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:43,640
Speaker 1: I say? Okay, that's Patty the Bell. So racism was

1606
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 1: always bad, it's still bad. So it's it's not stopped.

1607
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:49,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pretend people who say they're not

1608
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: racist anymore or at all, or ever have been. But

1609
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: you can feel the blood running down the neck, that

1610
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 1: red blood coming down. You see it and you know it.

1611
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 1: But you just take the high road again, so you

1612
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:05,640
Speaker 1: keep keep moving. You don't let anything stop you. And

1613
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:07,600
Speaker 1: that that can't hurt my feelings because you don't like

1614
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 1: my skin color. Never couldn't hurt me. I had a

1615
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:15,559
Speaker 1: manager back in the day of car dealership, Howardy Robinson

1616
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:18,519
Speaker 1: and Philly. That's where we first started singing. And so

1617
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: he always talked about my nose because I had a

1618
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: big nose. I had it done, Okay, I gotta be honest.

1619
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 1: So I got my nose done. And after what's done,

1620
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:32,519
Speaker 1: he still saw this black, ugly woman because he said,

1621
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:34,600
Speaker 1: he said, one day, you're not attractive. I said, I know.

1622
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't born to be attractive. I said, I was

1623
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:39,760
Speaker 1: born to be whatever I am. And so he would

1624
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:44,040
Speaker 1: put the microphone hanky over the microphone, saying because I

1625
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: was singing and you never walk alone or something. He said,

1626
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 1: now sing and it's gonna come out, right, I said,

1627
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:50,360
Speaker 1: with this handy, I said, someone to say. I said,

1628
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 1: with this hanky, really, and he said, it's gonna make

1629
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: you sound powerful. I said, sir, I am powerful, alot,

1630
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm black and I'm beautiful, and this is the nose.

1631
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:02,599
Speaker 1: You know. I did get my nose, son, because before

1632
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 1: it was all over the place, but it didn't take

1633
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:09,120
Speaker 1: away my beauty, but I thought it did, so I

1634
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: had it done. And you see how you get things

1635
01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: done because of what they think you should look like.

1636
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,599
Speaker 1: Now I did that and I still don't see much

1637
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: difference in my face. But racism it was all over

1638
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:25,080
Speaker 1: that mic that day. It's all over, it's everywhere. It's

1639
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 1: still and it's not gonna cease. This is the way

1640
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:31,479
Speaker 1: of the world and we know it. But do you

1641
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: think that back then it was a little bit more

1642
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: out front as opposed to now, like you know, there

1643
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:39,320
Speaker 1: was actually people win kukus Klan, where now these almost

1644
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: seem like the Clucas clan as the police. Right, it's

1645
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 1: still there, you can feel it, you can see it now.

1646
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:49,360
Speaker 1: They don't have the hood or there's an invisible hood

1647
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 1: that you know, is there dangerous? Oh, it's very dangerous. Yeah,

1648
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 1: But as I said, we always have to remember who

1649
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 1: we are and knowing that we're going to be treated

1650
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 1: less no matter matter what, no matter how much money

1651
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:06,439
Speaker 1: you have, no matter what, it's still the same. And

1652
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm mad. But that's the thing about you is like

1653
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 1: you seem like you was like like like you mentioned earlier,

1654
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 1: you said you hugged somebody with a with a's um.

1655
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 1: The thing about you is like you really don't judge anybody,

1656
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:22,639
Speaker 1: like like even from like like back in the days,

1657
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 1: you know Elton John telling you that he's gay, and

1658
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:27,640
Speaker 1: you know you being I think you even have like

1659
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:31,240
Speaker 1: a gay pride song, like the name and it's in

1660
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:37,600
Speaker 1: scarface the name of place. Wait a minute, it's in

1661
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:43,720
Speaker 1: the other one. Uh yeah that was Lady in Right

1662
01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 1: and I had starred up in Beverly Hill Cop and

1663
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: New Attitude in Beverly Hill Cop. Right. But like developed

1664
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:54,160
Speaker 1: not judging people. I was always because when we were

1665
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: first starting the Blue Bells, all of our fans were

1666
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 1: gay and people were asked, Patty, why don't you think

1667
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,760
Speaker 1: you draw a gay audience. I'm a drag queen, you know,

1668
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:08,040
Speaker 1: and ain't nothing gay about me. But I'm a drag queen.

1669
01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:12,559
Speaker 1: I love flamboyance. I love people being themselves. Don't hide

1670
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 1: who you are, because that that'll bring you a quick

1671
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 1: death if you hide who you are. Be yourself. Yeah,

1672
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 1: I love people period, black, white, green, I don't care.

1673
01:48:23,560 --> 01:48:26,679
Speaker 1: Just be good. I don't just be a good person. Yes,

1674
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:30,840
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's that's that's what like seemingly streaks out,

1675
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 1: is that, like you really are you really embedded what

1676
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:37,439
Speaker 1: you just said, like black, white, whatever, you just don't care? Yeah? Really,

1677
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:41,639
Speaker 1: I love, I love the world. And how does that developed? Though?

1678
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 1: Like my mother and father, I don't know if you

1679
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:47,080
Speaker 1: said earlier, you said your fans, Well, yeah, let's let's

1680
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 1: take it to your mother. My mother and father were

1681
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 1: very much like that. My father was an entertainer who

1682
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 1: loved people, who love the dream, who love the gamble,

1683
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 1: who loves every part of life. And I'm a part

1684
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 1: of him. And my mother, who never or drink or

1685
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:03,720
Speaker 1: smoked or anything, I'm a part of her, you know.

1686
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 1: So I think I'm blessed to have had those parents

1687
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 1: that I had and I guess I'm just whatever I am.

1718
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: when someone comes to you and say Walmart wants to

1719
01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:42,840

1720
01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:45,599
Speaker 1: of the food chain. This is I know, everyone goes

01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:50,360
Speaker 1: down to earth and still be a queen Like I

1765
01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 1: remember when um uh Kanye's mother told him on the

1766
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:57,920
Speaker 1: documentary she said, a giant doesn't see himself as a giant.

1767
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:00,520
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And say said, the giant

1768
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 1: looks in the mirror and sees nothing. And that's that's

1769
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of like the definition of what I'm seeing it

1770
01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: with you, because that's saying you don't see nothing. I

1771

1772
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:11,120

1818
01:58:04,280 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 1: said love MX list. Okay, so you started, you started

1819
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:14,040
Speaker 1: six years ago. The first episode, we knew we were

1820
01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:16,920
Speaker 1: onto something. No, it was the DMX game. We were

1821
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:21,120
Speaker 1: like the sixth episode and that's when it took us

1822
01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:23,800
Speaker 1: over the top where we really really knew that there's

1823
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 1: nothing stopping. I agree everything you said. I agree. For

1824
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 1: the first episode we did, I knew we had something,

1825
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 1: but it was the DMX like reaction like when we

1826
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:35,920
Speaker 1: when we got because remember it wasn't all positive at first,

1827
01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:39,600
Speaker 1: really remember the next episode. No, the factor was positive

1828
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:42,160
Speaker 1: about the DMX episode at first when we dropped that

1829
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't all positive. A lot of people looked at

1830
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:50,840
Speaker 1: us strange because you know, X was drawn. But then

1831
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:53,480
Speaker 1: we also knew that X wouldn't have did that in

1832
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 1: front of anybody else. We knew that he would talk

1833
01:58:55,320 --> 01:59:00,320
Speaker 1: to talk to me because when he was one night

1834
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: the best year of life, I was dead with him. Yeah,

1835
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean yeah. So so once we did that, at

1836
01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:08,720
Speaker 1: the time, I didn't realize, I said, because all we

1837
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 1: haven't we don't have no journalist skills. We just really

1838
