FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACT: James Ford 972-865-2239, Ext FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACT: James Ford 972-865-2239, Ext. 6 [email protected] PATTI LABELLE ANNOUNCED AS ENTERTAINER AT 32ND ANNUAL BLACK TIE DINNER DALLAS — (Oct. 2, 2013) — Pop and R&B superstar Patti LaBelle will bring new attitude when she performs at the 32nd Annual Black Tie Dinner, which benefits North Texas LGBT- supportive organizations and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This year’s dinner will be on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel. “Over the tenure of her unmatched career, Patti LaBelle has been many things, from church choir girl to space-age funk queen to the reigning diva of R&B,” said Black Tie Dinner Co-Chair Mitzi Lemons. “She is renowned for her passionate stage performances, wide vocal range and distinctive high-octave belting. We are simply thrilled she will be entertaining at our event.” Patti LaBelle was born Patricia Holt, and began singing in Philadelphia’s Beulah Baptist Church choir in her teens. She then formed the Ordettes, which evolved into Patti LaBelle and The Blue Belles and included LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash and Cindy Birdsong. When Birdsong left the group to join The Supremes in 1967, the remaining trio shortened their name to LaBelle. Both group configurations had modest success on pop and R&B radio, including the No. 1 hit “Lady Marmalade” in 1975. In 1977, the trio disbanded and Patti went solo. Her debut solo LP, “Patti LaBelle,” was released the same year. She scored several R&B hits, including “I Don't Go Shopping” and “Little Girls.” In 1982, LaBelle made her Broadway debut, with Al Green, in “Your Arm’s Too Short To Box With God.” In 1995, she signed with MCA Records and found pop success with two hits from the “Beverly Hills Cop” soundtrack: “New Attitude” and “Stir It Up.” —MORE— B L A C K T I E D I N N E R , I N C . 4015 Lemmon Ave., Ste. 4001 PMB #321 Dallas, TX 75219-3737 972-733-9200 WWW.BLACKTIE.ORG PATTI LABELLE ANNOUNCED AS BLACK TIE DINNER ENTERTAINMENT | Page 2 Over the next few years, LaBelle had her first solo Platinum album, won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female (“Burnin’”) and for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance (“Live!

  • 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.

  • “Le Freak”—Chic (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Le Freak”—Chic (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Cary O’Dell “Le Freak” 45 sleeve Original 45 label Nile Rodgers Inevitably, there seems to be a collective groan whenever that word is spoken. That word, of course, is “disco.” It is, without question the only musical genre to illicit such a response. No one smirks and recedes from “country” or “classical” or “folk.” It is also the only musical genre to ever have had its own made-to-order funeral: the public lambasting that was the famous—turned infamous—“Disco Sucks” Demolition Night held on July 12, 1979 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois. Yet, despite all the baggage attached to it, and despite the endless jokes, and the very bad fashion connected with it, the music of disco, itself, has actually aged remarkably well. And, in fact, it has never completely departed. Today, disco beats still rain down from the radio airwaves and steam upwards from the streets and meet on a million dance floors in between. It’s just that, today, instead of daring to utter the word “disco,” we hide these same grooves under euphemisms like “dance” music or “club” music. Founded, more or less, in 1976, the band known as Chic has survived, with some hiatuses, up to the present day. They have also existed in various incarnations with a wide assortment of musicians and singers coming and going over the years. At the time the group recorded their major hit “Le Freak,” however, the group consisted (in the studio, at least) of five members: Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, Tony Thompson, Norman Jean Wright and Alfa Anderson.
