Before Christina and them, Labelle performed another soul, gut-wrenching performance of "Lady Marmalade" and "Get You Somebody New", Patti in her element/prime was no joke, she dropped it like it's hot, and Sarah and Nona were both doing the thing.

  • I wonder does Beyonce know that she owes all of her strutting and diva moves to LaBelle and Tina Turner? Hmmmm....

  • Seriously, whats fascinating to me is how ahead of their time they were..think about it, Before Madonna knew a fuckin thing about metallic bras, Sarah was doin that in the early 70's...before Michele N'degaeocello knew a damm thing about being bi sexual rock chick, Nona was doin that in the sixties with Dusty Springfield..and before Beyonce' was doin sexually explicit stuff on stage, there was Nona and Grace Jones. A group like Labelle, became the grandmothers of doin shit off the beaten path.

  • PATTI DROPPED IT LIKE IT WAS HOT BEFORE DROP IT LIKE ITS HOT WAS EVEN SAID!!! OK! SHE BEEN DOING IT LADIES N GENTS! NOTHING NEW HERE TODAY.

  • CHRISTINA ALGUILERA WHO? PATTI IS THE QUEEN!!!!!!

  • I find it weird to say that the 70's was Patti Labelle's prime when she totally sang the hell out of "Purple Rain" during a tribute for Prince. remembering her hits during the 80's and 90's makes it sound more weird to me. I guess for me Patti Labelle is timeless.

    Much love for Stacy Dash and Nona Hendryx, the main two who can jam with Ms Patti and hold their own.

  • @Kamaria7 No, because she is a dumb southern belle. These women had talent and the video age gave us zombies.

  • @Kamaria7 No, because she is dumb southern belle.
