With Jennifer and Patti being in the room, there was bound to be some serious singing to be involved, no matter what the occasion. But the two divas were not the only one who belted it out for Patti’s special day – James Wright Chanel, who received overnight fame on internet, after his hilarious review of Miss LaBelle’s potato pies last year was also invited to the celebration and joined the duo in singing songs like ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ and ‘You Are My Friend’. Wright also sang a special ‘Happy Birthday’ to the diva and Hudson sang an impromptu snippet of ‘Jesus Promised Me Home’ after Patti requested her to sing sing a little something for her.
Check out some of the videos posted by Hudson and Wright below:
Patti’s first studio album in over 10 years entitled, ‘Bel Hommage’ was released earlier on the 5th of May and showcases the diva putting her glorious set of pipes to work while experimenting with Jazz music like she’s never done before.
May you stay Forever Young, Patti.
