@thefunkcenter: Happy Birthday to Patricia Louise Holt (born May 24, 1944) best known as Patti LaBelle, is an African American singer and actress. She began her career in the early 1960’s as lead singer and frontwoman for the vocal group, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebells’. Following the group's name change to "LaBelle" in the 1970's, they released the popular song "Lady Marmalade," which was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. As a result, the group became the first African-American vocal group to land the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and the first pop group to play at the Metropolitan Opera House. #happybirthday #thedaytonsceneradioshow #thefunkcenter #thefunkcapitaloftheworld #PattiLaBelle thefunkcenter.org
