LaBelle, Patti - A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics
There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah
I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please? "
He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh
There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now
I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been a long
And oh it's been an uphill journey, all the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes
I had to cry all night long, yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin', yes it has
It's been real hard every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
Yeah, I tell you that my change is come

A perfect voice, for a perfect song. You nailed it again, Ms. LaBelle.
Such a great performer and so approachable. No one else will ever be able to step into your shoes= heels even though you kick em off too!!!!!
Oh Lord!!!
Oh wow love Pattie her voice is stunning
That brings me to tears
I see why other artist from back in the 60's didn't want to perform after. them. with. Antics like that( she sings suicide notes) I don't even think the late Great 👑 of Soul would have said. "Going on stage after. Patti & The Bluebelles wouldn't be a good. Career choice."
Just like amazing grace is aretha soul snatcher this is pattis soul snatcher 💙💙💙 DO YOU HEAR HER ? SING MA I will be attending the concert in February
Patti did a fantastic job with this tune, I grew up listening to Sam Cooke and he would be please with version !
Nothing but RESPECT!
mama patti I loooooooooooooooooooooooooo veeeeeeeeeere you severely
She can change her voice any kind of way to sing her song her voice is the bomb toW .O. W. Sing it great one an u another one should it credit for your voice. Dont wait till they die Warner Bros.😚
Ho patti
Such a meaningful song.....thanku Sam Cook...Sing Patty...
Beautiful,thank you
Patti is one of my most favorite vocalists. She can bring emotion to a song like no one else can!! I love this!!
When Patti saannggg about a change is gonna come you believe its coming. A true gifted talented singer. she doesn't need auto tune or to lip sync. A legend!!!!
Lee Grant nor does she need a mic
Still getting chills from this in 2018.
There will never be another mz patti that voice no one can touch that
I would LOVE to see & hear YOU - MS. LABELLE - sing this with the MASTER of songs - MR. SAM. COOKE!
Goosebumps, heartfelt the amazing voice of an angel. I got to see Pati perform a few years ago, not only did she entertain us w/ her voice but was quite funny too! True artist, hard to find these days.
PERFECTT !!! DIVAAA ! LEGEND !! Can you hear at 3:07 - 3:17 !!!
Astounding Patti ..... one of the most heartfelt vocals I’ve ever heard
She's the Luther of female singers, there can never be another, the end.
the only women who you can hear at the back of a full theater with out a mic. ..i have heard it with my own ears
When hear ppl live their pitch lingers with me for a few hours afterwards. Their vocal vibration in my ear makes it easy to recreate. I have 2 or 3 hours of a lingering sensation. Shiid saw Patti and her vocal vibration imprint stuck in my ears for 4 days.
Finally...someone does this song some justice.
Loooooovvvvvveeeee Yooooouuuuuu
The true Queen
Simplesmente demais, digno de uma verdadeira Diva !! Amo Patti Labelle !!
my soul took flight 3:05- 3:36
SAAAAANNNNG MAMA PATTI

Damn. Word up? I think that's a prime example of KILLING EM SOFTLY

Wow ! What A Powerful Voice
BETTER VERSION THAN THE OTHER ONE. THE OTHER ONE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, IT HAS DUAL VOICES, GOING ON. NOT LIKE THE LATE, SAM COOKE, BUT IT IS WORTH LISTENING TO. WHO LOVES YOU BABY!!!!! J.D.
Outstanding vocal beast.
!!!! BRAVO !!!!
Patti Labelle !
such a legend and such a huge talent, this is how you need to sang this song
so so powerful and you can fell the power in your soul god bless Patti.
A voice from God.
@SoulOfAjamu you bettaaaaaaaaa tell it!!!!!
to me, this is the BEST "A Change Is Gonna Come" performance by Ms. Grandma Patti LaBelle!!! When I fist saw this on dvd years ago, I fell in love with this song even more because of (with all due respect) Grandma Patti.
I'm not saying Patti's perfect but, she is DEFINITELY REAL!!! I will NEVER get tired of Patti LaBelle. I just LOVE that woman.
+Tanya Lake I'm saying she's perfect! :-)
Tanya Lake me too
A voice from the Gods! No-one better - ever.
3:05- 3:36 OMG
3;05- 3;36 speaks for its self
I love to see Patti move the mic away from her mouth and still hear how powerful and strong her voice is. Lord have mercy on my soul with this woman. God bless her and keep her for many more years to come. I love how she sings this song. I can never get enough of this woman!!!
Aotearoa Love's you always.!
can you make this video available on mobile by any chance?? that would be great
I LOVE TO HERE PATTI SINGING THIS SONG
See my cover of Miss Patti's A Change is Gonna Come in American Sign Language
AMAZING
Patti, singing this song, leaves me in tears.
wow wow wow ...not enough recognition for this body of work...i don't know of a bad performance from Ms. Patti..she hits your soul
Can we officially called her the "Grandmother of R&B/Soul"....I mean, really, I think all her music encompasses a body of strength, respect, and most importantly, love. She's truly quite the foundation that inspires both liberation and relationship in all of us...she's a Goddess!
Dude! Go by the DVD! I have it. It costs less than $30.00! It's called "One NightOnly". Show Ms. Patti some real love and appreciation! We all thank you.
Wonderful patti
i just wish we could have the intro of the song were she talks about her sisters...
Dont you just Love her?
sensational voice of of the true greats in the world the hairs in my whole body stand
MMMM... Damn beautiful!!!!
hmm but you should upload also the introduction speech of this song :P but still you are the best!! :)) and great Quality video and sound!! :)
Thank you very very Much for uploading this amazing performance!!! :)))))
Patti doesn't even need the mike! My word!!
