  • I believe this was their very first Don Kirshner's Rock Concert! The entire performance was fire! You can't tell me Labelle wasn't the shit back in the day! Way ahead of their time! This is the whole segment:
    Are You Lonely?
    What Can I Do for You?
    Turn Me on
    Somebody Somewhere

      Their pre Epic album on RCA Pressure Cooking was no joke. A shame it was totally slept on.

      Too racially charged for RCA, which didn't promote it and dropped them. They went to New Orleans, released Lady M and blew up.

    Theres something so unique about Nona, she was so creative. Her costumes her hair, her makeup and jewels on her face were light years ahead of what other singers were doing back then.

      Her name popped up on my board for dispatch at a car service I work at. An event had her come as a guest. It was unmistakeably her (even just saying hello to let her know her car was outside). I was disappointed my colleagues didn't know who she was. But I do. And she's fabulous. Part of history. They broke every boundary for every genre. ROCK SOUL FUNK DISCO R&B

    Patti's group led the way for this fantastic sound coming into the mainstream. I wish more of it had continued, not the "whisper/whining" we have today. And yes, Patti has dynamics. And so did LaBelle the group. Wasn't all loud and funk. Was every musical dynamic u can think of. The more I watch old tapes of them, the more I'm amazed at their energy and ad libbing/live creativity.

    Thanks for sharing this with the world. Folks need to see Rock and Soul Royalty in full effect. Who is out there giving it to us like this today . I was hoping to see a reunion tour of these Beautiful Queens. Unfortunately Queen Sarah Dash left us and now is Dancing and Singing in God's Heavenly Kingdom. 🙏

      You miss the Reunion Tour in 2008. Even though they were older it was still mind-blowing. I’ve always wanted to witness raw talent and I did. My sister always told me about their live concerts. She always said they were light year's away. I was too young to see them when they were in their prime but I did get a chance to see them well-seasoned in their older age. 🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟

    There are two "girl groups", in my mind, that define eras, and the social climates, they represented and spoke to. And in my mind, they are the two greatest 'girl groups' of all time. The Supremes...and LaBelle. People sorta forget that the Supremes sang a handful of socially conscious songs, too...that came along, pre and post-Vietnam.
    But LaBelle is the proverbial "fallout of Vietnam" and all the social change that was born out of the end of the War and the country's progression into the lewdness and decadence of the 70s, for better and worse. LaBelle gave us a DEEP DIVE into black life in the hood, when no other female groups were doing that.
    And the thing that separates LaBelle from the Supremes in a VERY BIG WAY, is the songwriting talent of Nona Hendryx...her songwriting combined with the vocal prowess of Sarah and Patti, is just something that comes along once in a lifetime. RIP, Sarah Dash
