Common & Patti LaBelle Perform at Night 2 of DNC 2024


Patti LaBelle and Common performed on the second night of the Democratic National Convention.

The Democratic National Convention continued on Tuesday night (Aug. 21) at Chicago’s United Center, and more musical stars took the stage to celebrate Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ presidential nomination. Patti LaBelle stepped onstage to deliver her 1977 hit, “You Are My Friend,” for the night’s in memoriam segment, singing the lyrics, “Your love has made me realize/ My future looks bright to me/ Oh, because you are my friend.” The icon previously performed Sam Cooke’s classic “A Change is Gonna Come” at the 2004 DNC. Since then, surveys have shown that while Republican nominee Donald Trump was previously winning in several key battleground states, the polls are now shifting slightly in Harris’ favor, per New York Times/Siena College.
