Patti LaBelle truly is a Renaissance Woman – a peerless singer and songwriter, actress, savvy businesswoman, best-selling author, and devoted wife and mother. Plus, somehow she found the time to make more than fifty amazing albums. Patti LaBelle’s star, which first rose in the 1960s, shines ever brightly today. The 1993 album, Patti LaBelle LIVE! yielded a 1994 Grammy nomination (her eighth) for the single “All Right Now.” LaBelle’s first breakout hit was the album Nightbirds, which sent Patti and her group soaring into the stratosphere, largely on the strength of “Lady Marmalade.” Superstardom anointed her again with two hits from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack: “New Attitude” and “Stir It Up.” Those hits were followed by her 1985 album, Winner In You, which went platinum thanks to sizzlers like “On My Own” (with Michael McDonald), “Oh, People,” “Kiss Away the Pain” and “Something Special.” In the late ’80s and early ’90s, a triumphant Patti continued to release chart-topping albums, including Be Yourself and This Christmas. In 2007, she released Miss Patti’s Christmas. Unrivaled and unstoppable, Patti continues to tour the world.
