The electrifying performance of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" that was delivered by two-time Grammy Award winner Patti Labelle at the opening of the 2008 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony brought the entire house to its feet with a well-earned standing ovation.
"If You Don't Know Me By Now" not only set the tone for the evening, but also underscored her decades-long relationship with Philadelphia International founders, producers and songwriters (and fellow Philadelphians) Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, as Patti illuminated the classic 1972 hit by PIR's Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, a long-time staple of her live performance sets.
Turning back the clock nearly three decades to a previously unreleased concert by Patti Labelle in 1982, "If You Don't Know Me By Now" is now a center piece of LIVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C., which takes its rightful place in Patti's discography as her earliest live recording, after she began her solo career five years before.
LIVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. was produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff (who also serve as executive producers). This newly discovered treasure will arrive in stores June 10th on Philadelphia International/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAIN MENT.
