Patti LaBelle
Pattie LaBelle was born in Philadelphia on May 24, 1944 with the name Patricia Holt. LaBelle formed a group in the 60’s called the Blue Belles. Competition with the Supremes arose and later in her Career, Patti broke away from group singing, and went solo. Singing solo for many years she topped R&B charts with many of her songs, one in particular,” New Attitude.”
Ms. Labelle is another artist who I wanted to blog about. I think she’s a women every one should know. Patti Labelle is a woman of strength and power. In just 10 years she lost three sisters to cancer, her mother and and a best friend to Diabetes. Ms. LaBelle also has diabetes and is a spokeswomen for the National Medical Association for the illness. She takes insulin at least 7 times a day. She’s not only suffered from great loss as a person, but has an astonishing career as a performer. She one of the most recognizable singers of R&B and an actress as well. Patti was the first African American Actress to appear at the New York Metropolitan Oprah House.
Patti can hit and hold musical notes that no other musical performer can sing.
