SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:59 Min.
In 1989, Patti LaBelle simultaneously recorded this track for her album, Be Yourself, and the soundtrack to Timothy Dalton’s last James Bond film, Licence to Kill. In 2007, this song resurfaced on 20th Century Masters – The Best of Patti LaBelle: The Millennium Collection album.
Note: Among the song’s subsequent cover renditions is Celine Dion’s 1992 version for her self-named English-language album.
REVIEW:
As heard over the end credits to Licence to Kill, Patti LaBelle’s exuberant rendition remains an underrated gem. Her voice is aptly paired with a gorgeous R&B melody. Comparatively, Celine Dion’s high-profile cover is terrific as is, but LaBelle’s glowing original remains the best.
