Matriarchs of R&B and Soul Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight faced off for a Verzuz this past Sunday evening.
Hundreds of thousands of fans — dressed in their Sunday’s best — of the living legends tuned into Instagram Live for the “Master class we’ve all been waiting for.” The virtual audience included everyone from Former First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Tyrese, Swizz Beatz — who was also celebrating his birthday, Timbaland, Queen Latifah, Brandy and so many more. And while there were no Gladys Knight’s chicken and waffles or Pattie LaBelle pies, the Ciroc was definitely flowing, which fostered a festive vibe for viewers.
