Every time Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle have shared the stage, it has been MAGIC.

Technically this one isn't a stage, but you know.

The two of them are QUICK to tribute somebody. Like here with Luther for Smokey.

Baby baby baby baby

And here with Johnny for Barry.

years and years and years and years *plays on repeat*

Can't talk about Patti and Gladys without Dionne coming up, who's a mainstay in their friend group. Here they are on Oprah shutting it down with Superwoman.

Back in the year I was born, the three ladies staged "Sisters In the Name of Love" for HBO

One of the (many) tragedies of the VH1 Divas series is how they got Patti and Gladys on the same show but didn't put them onstage with each other. Instead, Patti performed with Cyndi Lauper (who could keep up) and Jessica Simpson, who also performed with Gladys and Joss Stone.

ANYWAY. I'm here for it. Let's go, ladies. (Remember when they performed on the Tonys with Fantasia?

One of the most recent times they teamed up on television was to honor Gerald Levert with his father Eddie and Yolanda Adams.

In the spirit of love that these women have for each other, and for their fellow artists (and for their fans), I am so ready for this Verzuz.

History. Music. Love. Respect.
