About me:

They say James Brown was the hardest working man in show business. And with that we can safely say that the hardest working woman, is none other than the Goddess of Soul, Patti LaBelle.

"..When you share love, it's like a boomerang. Every time you throw it out there, it comes right back to you."

She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 24, 1944, and since then little Patricia Louise Holt never stopped shining. Whether it was her cooking skills or her vocal shrills, she just knew making people smile would be her thing and she hasn't stopped yet. With a big voice and an even bigger heart, the world could never get enough of Patti LaBelle, making her one of the most respected recording artists of all time. Her fan base spans from every age, creed, color, gender, and sexuality. Her tireless energy and generosity towards spreading love, hope, and peace through out the gay community and towards cancer efforts has earned her many accolades and awards.

"If you’re feeling what you’re doing, if you have that soul, spirit and motivation you can do anything."

This legendary woman has been hailed many names: from The Philly Songbird, to The High Priestess of Good Vibrations. But she simply likes to be called, Patti. "Look at life through the windshield, not the rearview mirror" she says, and Patti has definitely kept her feet moving forward as she has constantly reinvented herself, still staying true to her sound and herself. She is the only celebrity whose star on the Walk of Fame was generously paid for by their fans, known for her passionate stage performances, wide vocal range and distinctive high-octave belting, her biography, Don't Block the Blessings, remained at the top of the The New York Times best-seller list for several weeks. Patti LaBelle, year after year, decade after decade, has proved herself as the people's choice and music royalty as her voice never ceases to amaze. .. ..
