There hasn’t been a female vocalist with the charisma or talent to match Mz. LaBELLE. The only chicks that could come close were down with her. PATTI LaBELLE, NONA HENDRYX, and SARA DASH formed the high octane, high octave superheroine trio called LaBELLE.
They were known for their outrageous stage presence and futuristic costumes. More than anything else though, it was their talent that made these chicks so hell’a fierce. These ladies could “sang” is what your grandma might say. My stoner aunt and uncle that loved Funkadelic were also big fans of LaBELLE also. The following YouTube has the sisters performing the classic ‘Lady Marmalade’. After you hear this jawn you can realize what a cheap bootleg that remake was.
A few years ago the ladies talked about doing a LaBELLE re-union tour. These ladies would be worth my money to listen to them blast out notes that chicks like CHEWLEESE and FURSHANTI could never imagine.
You have to peep this next clip too. PATTI sings my favorite breakup song ‘Isn’t It A Shame’. She gets real emotional about the whole thing.
I aint mad either that PATTI is a grandma that can still get my two minute tiger love.
like the vids. yes. yes it was a terrible remake. hopefully, they got paid.
still cant believe that remake earned a f*ckin grammy.
Patti Labelle is one of those singers that seems like she could talk to me like she was my aunt and I would listen…the last female singer I think had that type of presence…but the only family relation I would give her is wifey.
cosign on the patti humpens.
^ZILLZ is a young beast! PATTI could be your GREAT grandma.
what the f*ck that remake kicked ass!
