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.
Labelle is joined by Baby Bear, Rosita, Telly, Zoe, Elmo, Prairie Dawn, Ernie, Bert, Grover, Count von Count, Cookie Monster, and Herry Monster.
