Classic Moments is an album recorded and released in 2005 by Patti LaBelle, her second full-length release with Island Def Jam's Def Soul Classics imprint.
The album features LaBelle's renditions of modern pop, soul and R&B songs, mostly ballads, including her versions of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore", "She's Out of My Life" (re titled "He's Out of My Life"), "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" and "I'll Stand by You". Released a year after her previous album, Timeless Journey, it peaked at number 24 on the pop albums chart and number five on the R&B albums chart, while her version of Aretha and Carolyn Franklin's "Ain't No Way", a duet with Mary J. Blige, entered the R&B charts peaking at number sixty-eight. By the end of the year the album went gold with sales shipping past the 500,000 mark.
