▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The female trio responsible for the proto-disco ▓▌
▓████▓▌ funk classic "Lady Marmalade," LaBelle's outlandish ▓▌
▓████▓▌ space-age costumes and brash incorporation of rock ▓▌
▓████▓▌ & roll were a far cry from their early days as a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ typical '60s girl group, not to mention the later ▓▌
▓████▓▌ solo career of frontwoman Patti LaBelle. While ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Patti naturally seems like the focal point in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hindsight, the group was also blessed with a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ talented and prolific songwriter in Nona Hendryx, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ who followed an idiosyncratic muse into her own ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mercurial solo career, which often bordered on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ avant-garde. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The group's first incarnation was that of a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quartet. Friends Patricia Holt and Cindy Birdsong ▓▌
▓████▓▌ had been singing together in a Philadelphia group ▓▌
▓████▓▌ called the Ordettes, and in 1962 they teamed up ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with Wynona "Nona" Hendryx and Sarah Dash, both ▓▌
▓████▓▌ members of a rival outfit called the Del Capris. At ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the suggestion of producer Bobby Martin, Holt ▓▌
▓████▓▌ changed her last name to LaBelle to match with the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ group's official name, the BlueBelles. Strangely ▓▌
▓████▓▌ enough, Patti LaBelle & the BlueBelles may not have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ even performed on their first hit; a group called ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Starlets cut a single called "I Sold My Heart ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to the Junkman," which was released with the name ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Blue-Belles on the label. Some accounts hold ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that the Starlets actually backed LaBelle, or that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ her vocal was overlaid, while others suggest that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the lead voice wasn't LaBelle's at all. Whatever ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the case, "I Sold My Heart to the Junkman" became a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Top 20 R&B and pop hit in 1962, and the BlueBelles ▓▌
▓████▓▌ started touring the R&B circuit behind it. Their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ next hit came in 1963 with the dramatic ballad ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Down the Aisle," another R&B Top 20, and they hit ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Top 40 again in 1964 with renditions of Rodgers ▓▌
▓████▓▌ & Hammerstein's "You'll Never Walk Alone" and the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Irish standard "Danny Boy," solidifying their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ penchant for sentimental, classic-style pop. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In 1965, the BlueBelles signed with major label ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Atlantic, and had some success with a version of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," which remained in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Patti LaBelle's concert repertoire for decades. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Despite cutting an early version of "Groovy Kind of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Love" (later a number one hit for the Mindbenders, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ not to mention Phil Collins), though, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ BlueBelles' tenure wasn't as commercially ▓▌
▓████▓▌ productive as hoped. Cindy Birdsong left in 1967 to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ replace Florence Ballard in the Supremes, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ permanently reducing the group to a trio. With no ▓▌
▓████▓▌ real hits forthcoming, Atlantic wound up dropping ▓▌
▓████▓▌ them in 1969. In search of a makeover, they hired ▓▌
▓████▓▌ former British television producer Vicki Wickham ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (the music series Ready, Steady, Go!) as their new ▓▌
▓████▓▌ manager and producer in 1970. Wickham remade the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ group for the '70s, shortening their name to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ LaBelle and pushing them into a more contemporary ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fusion of R&B and rock; plus, the advent of glam ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rock suggested a new direction for their stage act, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and the trio donned outrageous, space-themed ▓▌
▓████▓▌ costumes replete with glitter, silver, and/or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ feathers. LaBelle opened for the Who on an American ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tour and sang backup on singer/songwriter Laura ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nyro's acclaimed R&B-themed album Gonna Take a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Miracle in 1971. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Signing with Warner Brothers, the revamped LaBelle ▓▌
▓████▓▌ made their debut in 1971 with an eponymous album ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that featured soul treatments of rock and pop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ material by the likes of Nyro, the Rolling Stones, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kenny Rogers, and Carole King. The follow-up, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1972's Moonshadow, featured the Cat Stevens-penned ▓▌
▓████▓▌ title track and the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again," ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and also included more material written by Nona ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hendryx. Neither album was all that commercially ▓▌
▓████▓▌ successful, and they left Warner to record one ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album for RCA, 1973's Pressure Cookin', where ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hendryx's writing constituted the vast majority of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the record. In 1974, LaBelle signed with Epic, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the label sent them to New Orleans to record with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ famed producer Allen Toussaint. The result, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nightbirds, featured the deeply funky single "Lady ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Marmalade," an ode to a New Orleans prostitute with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the indelible French chorus "voulez-vous coucher ▓▌
▓████▓▌ avec moi ce soir?" ("you want to go to bed with me ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tonight?"). Penned by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Lady Marmalade" shot to number one on both the pop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and R&B charts in early 1975, sending Nightbirds ▓▌
▓████▓▌ into the Top Ten and making it LaBelle's first gold ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Lady Marmalade" proved to be a tough act to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ follow. Despite four more charting R&B singles over ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the next two years, nothing duplicated the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ phenomenon of LaBelle's first major hit. 1975's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Phoenix and 1976's Chameleon were relative ▓▌
▓████▓▌ commercial disappointments, even though they ▓▌
▓████▓▌ featured some of the group's finest vocal ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performances, plus increasingly ambitious and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sophisticated writing by Hendryx. In fact, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hendryx's vision was pulling her away from the rest ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of LaBelle, and by the end of 1976, the group had ▓▌
▓████▓▌ disbanded to pursue solo careers. Hendryx ▓▌
▓████▓▌ immediately began recording in a funk-rock hybrid, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and in the early '80s drifted into downtown New ▓▌
▓████▓▌ York's avant-garde scene, where she worked often ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with Bill Laswell; her solo records were sometimes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ accessible and frequently challenging. Patti ▓▌
▓████▓▌ LaBelle, of course, went on to a hugely successful ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and long-lived career as an R&B hitmaker with adult ▓▌
▓████▓▌ contemporary appeal, scoring hits like "New ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Attitude" and the number one Michael McDonald duet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "On My Own." As for Sarah Dash, she made several ▓▌
▓████▓▌ solo albums that failed to attract much attention, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ but found her way into the Rolling Stones' sphere ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by the late '80s, working as a backup singer on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ both solo and group projects. ▓▌
