DEF: Patti LaBelle “If You Asked Me To”
In 1992, Celine Dion scored her third Top 10 single with the Diane Warren-penned song “If You Asked Me To.” That wasn’t the song’s first appearance on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, though. Three years earlier, Patti LaBelle spent five weeks on the chart with her original version of the song. On this date in 1989, LaBelle’s version rose to a peak position of number 79, where it would spend two weeks. Today, “If You Asked Me To” by Patti LaBelle is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
