Dionne Warwick Performs With Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle on ‘Verzuz’
Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle were the latest artists to go head-to-head on the Instagram Live and Apple Music series Verzuz, following Brandy and Monica’s showdown earlier this month.
During the three-hour show, the two iconic soul singers traded off performing their own chart-topping songs as well as each other’s, while discussing their careers and their shared love for music in between. Knight performed “Midnight Train to Georgia” twice during the show and during her performance of “If You Asked Me To,” LaBelle made a point to note that her version preceded Celine Dion’s more well-known recording, coming out three years prior.
During the show’s final rounds, LaBelle performed “Lady Marmalade” and “The Alphabet Song,” her famous number from Sesame Street. They were then joined by surprise guest and vocal superstar, Dionne Warwick, who performed “That’s What Friends Are For” before joining Knight and LaBelle for a rendition of “Superwoman” to close out the night.
Since Timbaland and Swizz Beatz launched the series this past March, Verzuz has hosted battles between Kirk Franklin and Fred Hammond, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu, 2 Chainz and Rick Ross, DMX and Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys and John Legend, and RZA and DJ Premier.
