Friday Night Throwback: Patti Labelle - "Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)"

The second single released from Patti Labelle's 1991 album Burnin', "Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)" became a smash hit and a signature song for Labelle with its sultry and emotional vocals (as well as a stirring video which was shot at Harlem, New York's infamous Apollo Theater). Co-written by Labelle and former Philadelphia International artist Bunny Sigler, who also produced the song, the single would reach number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in early 1992.
