Patti Labelle Sings The Alphabet

Patti LaBelle and the Muppets sing "Gospel Alphabet."

"Gospel Alphabet" was performed on Sesame Street by Patti LaBelle and a chorus of Muppets. Little Chrissy plays the piano as Patti sings, and is soon joined by a crowd of Muppets, some with tambourines.

There are two variations of this segment; one with Little Chrissy's lines intact and a shorter cut that excludes all of his dialogue (one line is cut, and another muted).

Notes
