I remember this special's initial run on HBO back in the mid-eighties. I was enthralled by the unique talents of Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle and Dionne Warwick being brought together on one stage. The music selections here vary from good(a rendition of James Brown's "Living in America") to great (their respective solo turns on "I Will Survive", "I'll Never Love This Way Again", and "New Attitude"), but what is also striking is that the ladies' comraderie feels genuine and that Miss Knight, Miss LaBelle and Miss Warwick, each well north of 40 at the time, are undeniably sexy in ways the Britneys, Xtinas and Mariahs are still gunning for. Gladys, Patti & Dionne do it with CLASS! I hope this is released on video someday.

Ms. Labelle, Ms. Knight & Ms. Warwick

I remember this show and was looking for it on the net and this is where my search ended however I had hoped to find it on DVD as this is what I regard as a show time par excellence and was wondering who had the rights to it? This is an absolute "must be" re-issue on DVD. This more than anywhere else shows what it's all about, they also prove that age is nothing but a number as they have all grown even better as time went by especially one Patti Labelle who is the most active of the three. I'm trying not to put down anybody in the entertainment business but this is the sort of thing they lack today. Release this one on DVD, it's as good as money in the bank.
