The Brief:
This song is a favorite of the Fun-Wife so, when I saw this promo 12” I picked it up for her. The song is from Patti Labelle’s ninth solo album ‘Be Yourself’ of 1989. The song was written by Diane Warren who has penned 93 songs that have charted on Billboard’s Hot 100 including nine #1 singles. Patti’s version of “If You Asked Me To” also appeared on the movie soundtrack for Licence To Kill.

and of course, Celine Dion went on to have a Huuuuuge hit with it. Patti wasn’t amused, especially since Celine didn’t veer from her original version a lot.
My vote goes to Patti’s version….great, though not excellent like If Only You Knew.
Definitely Patti all the way!
Thank you
You’re welcome Taylor
I don’t remember Celine’s version, but very much remember Patti’s. Patti for the win.
Agreed!
