Born Patricia Holt in 1944, Pattis earliest years were spent much like those of her musical contemporaries singing in church. Patti LaBelle has been dishing out popular R&B pop tunes for close to forty years, accumulating gold records, fame, fans and wealth in the process. From her early days as part of her self-titled soul-group LaBelle, to her departure to pursue a solo career. Patti has remained as visible, and as talented, as her first day on the scene. In addition to musical prowess, Patti LaBelle has proven that she is neither a theatrical, movie or television lightweight. Her credits include televisions Emmy-Award winning Motown Salutes The Apollo and the long-running A Different World; the silver screens A Soldier’s Story, Broadway’s Your Arms Too Short To Box With God and the musical House of Flowers. Perhaps best known for her more than 40- year career in the entertainment industry, Patti LaBelle is also a dedicated social servant. Patti has worked on behalf of such causes as cancer and AIDS awareness. She is truly a humanitarian. She is a true believer in who she is and what she ventures into, which is a testimonial to her abilities, and her dedication. I still have so much more to do, so many oth a lot to be thankful for but I m always exci her things to try. I have a lot of blessings, ted about what else there is for me to do.

  • Phila DJ Lee Jolles Obit 20120805
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, August 5, 2012 Further Information See Contact on Page Two Doo-Wop DJ Lee, “Mister Lee” Jolles Dies; Philadelphia Businessman, Record Collector and Rock-and-Roll Group Harmony Expert Was Known Across U.S. From His Weekend Radio Show PHILADELPHIA -- Businessman, DJ, and doo-wop group harmony champion Lee, “Mister Lee” Bain Jolles, 66, died July 10th. A lifelong lover of the distinctly American rock-and-roll genre, Jolles owned a well-known Philadelphia cheesesteak eatery; headed the Philadelphia Group Harmony Association (PGHA) and produced sell-out oldies shows for the association for two decades. In 1986 he became DJ, “Mister Lee,” at a small Delaware Valley non-profit FM radio station whose weekend doo-wop listenership exploded coast to coast thanks to Internet streaming. Jolles’s funeral drew a “sellout” crowd of more than 500 persons, mourners who knew him from entertainment, radio, business, and listening to his 4-to-6 p.m. Saturday program on WRDV FM (streamed at WRDV.org) and the Live 365.com “Station PGHA” channel. Those Live 365 shows were recorded from his FM show and can still be heard today. Growing up in the golden age of rock n’ roll and group harmony, Jolles remembered being a nine-year-old elementary school student when Frankie Lymon’s, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” was first released. “…it seemed that the whole school yard was on fire! I knew I found our own music,” according to autobiographical “liner notes” on the Live 365 PGHA channel. Jolles attended West Philadelphia’s John Bartram High, whose alumni include doo-wop luminaries Lee Andrews and the Hearts, Danny and the Juniors, Patti LaBelle, the Superiors, the Blendtones and Little Billy and the Essentials, and, according to Wikipedia, Solomon Burke.

  • Lady Marmalade”—Labelle (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Adele Bertei (Guest Post)*
    “Lady Marmalade”—Labelle (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Adele Bertei (guest post)* Labelle Labelle. Hear the name and most will immediately think of Patti LaBelle, diva supreme, but the story is far more profound than the connection suggests. Over the course of 16 years together, Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash, and Patti LaBelle created a musical legacy unlike any other group before or since. Patti’s incredible voice led the way, undoubtedly. But it was Sarah Dash’s sweet soaring soprano, the deep resonance of Nona Hendryx’s voice and lyrical imagination, and the utopian vision of manager Vicki Wickham that would ultimately result in the creation of the Labellian cosmology--a map of sonic starlight. In 1962, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles were a traditional girl group with a few minor hits. Ten years later, they dropped the girl group tropes and became Labelle, reinventing the role of Black women in popular music as bona fide rock stars in 1974. The torque accelerating their ascendancy was a song called “Lady Marmalade.” Co-written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan, “Lady Marmalade” is the story of a Creole sex worker strutting a solicitation--”Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?”--a phrase that became a French-language primer for every American in love with pop music. Any record company trepidation about presenting this brazen shout-out for Black women’s sexual agency to the listening world was extinguished by the undeniable brilliance of the recording. The song might not have been written by Labelle, but their delivery made it a worldwide sensation.
