The Grammy Award-winning singer and the star of ABC’s “black-ish” They were joined by a gospel choir as they sang about “temporary layoffs” and “easy credit rip-offs”… and LaBelle really nailed that final note. Speaking of which, even Anderson, who gets props for holding his own duetting with Miss Patti, was in awe as she did her thing with that final note.
