Patti LaBelle Talks 2024 DNC Performance & Kamala Harris: ‘What They Call ‘Brat,’ I Call ‘Gangster’’
Patti LaBelle speaks with Billboard from the Democratic National Convention about her Tuesday performance and her feelings about Kamala Harris.
The emotional performance marked a notable return to the DNC for the icon, who previously covered Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” at the 2004 convention, when John Kerry was voted the party’s presidential nominee. The soul legend has also thrown her music support behind the Biden administration, performing on the White House South Lawn for the President’s Juneteenth concert earlier this summer (June 10). This election cycle, the Democrats have been notably forward-looking in their incorporation of music — but by tapping LaBelle to usher in the DNC’s second night, they made sure to honor the classics, and showcase some true soul.
