I like patti labelle as a singer plus she goes back to her Christian background which is great and she shows her really quality on this album. The price was good and pleased with the arrival time. Keep up the good work....!

I have been a PATTI fan since the days of LaBELLE!! I still have one of their albums in my collection. And I would have been a Bluebells fan, but I wasn't old enough to work the turntable by myself.
The first time I played this CD I was a little (just a smig) dissapointed that it wasn't traditional gospel like the songs she adds to her concerts (I never missed any of her concerts at DAR Constitution Hall in DC in the 80's). I was expecting those songs but by the second time listening to this, I learned that you can't hold Patti to the ol' standby's. Yes, we've "gone to church" with Sister Patti at the shows, but now lets let her spread her wings and do a little traditional sound along with some of the contemporary sounds as well.
These days if artists just stick with the ol' standby's, people will complain that they've heard them all before. AND the younger generation, the ones who hold the purse strings these days, want to hear New School stuff.
One point that a previous reviewer/semi-hater pointed out would actually be a great idea. Now that Miss Patti has done her long-awaited (studio) gospel CD, would she consider doing a LIVE Gospel CD???? You know, all those songs that she sings at the concerts that have made us cry and shake like we're about to turn the concert halls into sanctuaries of worship and praise. SISTER Patti will have you doing a holy dance one moment and drawing tears up from the depth of your soul the next. That's a Spirit that can't be duplicated, or rehearsed, or have tracks laid on top of.
MISS PATTI, if you're reading these reviews, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE oblige us, your LOYAL fans from way back, the ones who have your music on vinyl, 8-track, cassette tape and compact disc (not to mention DVD) in their collection. PLEASE let the rest of the world experience that joy that you given us (at concerts). You won't have to do any duets, or special arrangements, or have any special deals drawn up-- just have someone hit RECORD at one of your concerts and put the word out. By the time the loyal fans play it one time for the so-so fans, your GIFT will be unstoppable. Little children on the most remote island in the Pacific will be saying "PATTI, PATTI, PATTI!!!!!!!!"
And remember--DON'T BLOCK YOUR BLESSINGS, Miss Patti!!!!!

What we get here is a mix 'n' match collection of Contemporary Gospel, and a handful of Traditional Gospel songs. Trying to keep up with today's sound is NOT always the way to go! Worth-Buying-The-Album-For-Tracks: "Walk Around Heaven", "God Ain't Through", and "Walking Away".
