About me:
Patti LaBelle was born (Patricia Holt) May 24, 1944 in Philadelphia, PA. Although the word "diva" is used to characterize an abundance of singers, a precious few actually live up the title. A diva can be viewed in terms of stature, femininity, extreme soul, a flaunting attitude, and an overwhelming presence. Patti LaBelle is one of only a select few women in history that can truly be called a diva. Patti began singing in the church in the 50s as part of the Beulah Baptist Church choir. The next logical step was singing as a career, and formed the Ordettes which evolved into Patti LaBelle & The Blue Belles and included Patti, Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash, and Cindy Birdsong. When Birdsong left the group to join The Supremes in 1967, the remaining trio shortened their name to LaBelle. Both group configurations had modest success on pop and R&B radio including the #1 hit, "Lady Marmalade" in 1975. In 1977, the trio disbanded and Patti went solo. Patti said of the split, "It was time for us to part as singing partners while remaining friends... I was afraid of being blamed for the group's breakup, and I didn't know how people would respond to me as an artist on my own..." Patti's solo career has allowed her to tap into her gospel roots, soulful vocal range, and even dance tunes. Fans that have witnessed Patti live know that her LPs have only skimmed the surface of Patti's ability to deliver a song.
