Celebs packed into a California mansion to surprise Patti LaBelle for her birthday in May. When Patti arrived to give a private performance for an antique auction, her friends shocked her. Sheryl Lee Ralph, Chrisette Michele, Niecey Nash, Vivica Fox, Janice Combs, Eddie Levert and Stevie Wonder where in the crowd.

S2S Publisher/Founder Jamie Foster Brown was also in the crowd and our cameras caught the look on Patti's face when she heard everyone yell, "surprise!" We also talked to some of the guests about why the love Patti and had them share their favorite moments with the R&B diva.
