Tuesday June 24, 2003. Newark Symphony Hall 1030 Broad St. Newark, NJ (973) 643-8009. Can you believe that Miss Patti will turn 60 next year? What better measure of an artist than longevity? And no matter how many times you’ve seen her, Patti Labelle’s shows always provide a new insight into an artist that’s more of a family member than “diva”, though you will be treated to a few costume changes. Opening for Miss Patti is Hip Hop / R&B star Jaheim, who wasn’t even born when she had already made her mark on the world of music.
