Patti LaBelle is touring again! That makes it perfect timing to revisit her moving conversation with Julia from Season 3, which is packed with incredible stories. Today on Wiser Than Me, Julia welcomes 81-year-old singer, actress, and entrepreneur Patti LaBelle. The two discuss Patti’s legendary Grammy Award-winning music career and what the “Godmother of Soul” has cooked for friends like Nina Simone, Elton John, and Prince. Plus, Patti tells Julia why she was convinced she wouldn't live to see 50. Also, Julia asks her mom, Judith, if she can remember any racy song lyrics from her youth.
