The Queen of Soul is stepping onto a new kind of stage — the streaming screen. Patti LaBelle has officially partnered with Netflix for a one-of-a-kind special that celebrates love, legacy, and the power of being unapologetically yourself. Titled Soul & Pride, the project promises to blend music, storytelling, and history into one unforgettable celebration.

Filmed in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, the special will feature fresh performances of Patti’s greatest hits alongside powerful duets with today’s rising stars. Each song will be paired with deeply personal stories from LaBelle’s six-decade journey through love, heartbreak, and triumph. Sources close to the production describe the show as “a letter to the world — and a love song to everyone who’s ever felt unseen.”

For Patti, the special is more than just entertainment — it’s a mission. “Love is love, and soul is for everyone,” she said in a behind-the-scenes interview, her voice carrying both warmth and conviction. “This show is about lifting people up, reminding them that music connects us all — no matter who we are or who we love.”

The production is already drawing praise for its inclusivity and heart. Netflix executives called it “a cultural milestone” and praised LaBelle’s courage to blend social message with timeless soul. The special will highlight artists, activists, and fans from across generations whose stories echo Patti’s message of freedom and compassion.

Fans can also expect never-before-seen moments from LaBelle’s archives — from early tour footage to candid reflections about friendship, faith, and fame. Insiders say the special includes an emotional tribute to her late sister Sarah Dash, set against a reimagined orchestral version of You Are My Friend. That performance alone, according to one producer, “brought the entire crew to tears.”

With Soul & Pride, Patti LaBelle continues to redefine what it means to be an icon. At 80, she remains as radiant and fearless as ever, proving that the true spirit of soul is eternal. The special is expected to premiere globally on Netflix this spring, inviting millions to sing, cry, and celebrate together.

Because when Patti LaBelle says love is worth singing for — the world listens.
