Sunday night saw legendary singer Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight come together to bless fans with one of the most powerful Verzuz battles yet.
The R&B icons brought the vibes and vocals as they dropped hit after hit during the amazing live stream.
The pair first took the chance to catch up and reminisce about their history together, while the whole event saw them continually share words of wisdom to viewers.
But the highlight had to be a special appearance by fellow icon Dionne Warwick, who joined the ladies to perform Superwoman and That’s What Friends Are For.
Meanwhile, Patti and Gladys also sang some of their biggest hits including Midnight Train to Georgia, Love, Need and Want You, Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye) and Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is).
Unsurprisingly, fans were loving everything about the showdown which took place at Philadelphia’s Fillmore Theater.
Michelle Williams, Affion Crockett, Missy Elliot, Brandy, Oprah, Mariah Carey, Monica, Lena Waithe, Jennifer Lopez, Michelle Obama, Gabrielle Union, Octavia Spencer, Rosario Dawson, Jesse Williams, Andy Cohen and over 600,000 others tuned in for the special occasion.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: ‘This Battle Is Really Helping My Spirits Right Now’.
While another added: ‘Babies take notes!!! Gladys Knight sounded absolutely effortless singing “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me”.
‘Timeless vocals & looks from both she & Patti LaBelle.’
One gushed: ‘Not Patti LaBelle tearing up like that. I love her and Gladys Knight’s energy tonight in this Verzuz.’
As one fan tweeted: ‘I done laughed, sang, cried, danced, and rolled in the floor tonight! Thank you ladies!’
Another stated: ‘I really feel like I’m watching my Great Aunties’
While rapper Missy Elliot added: ‘Thank you @verzuzonline… This platform has allowed us to enjoy the soundtrack to our lives while also showing APPRECIATION to those artist who have put out TIMELESS Music for DECADES!
