Patti LaBelle was born Patricia Louise Holte on May 24, 1944 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Patti began her career in the early 1960s as lead singer of the band Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. A decade later the group changed their name to Labelle and recorded the hit song "Lady Marmalade". Patti became a solo artist in 1976 and her debut album was another success. During five decades she has sold more than 50 million records and also became an actress.

    • Quotes
      [on Donna Summer] Nobody does it like Donna. Underrated! Totally underrated - that voice... everything she sang was phenomenal and I still don't think she's gotten the credit that she deserves ... She can do a show and kill you! Today! That's what I call real women standing and singing, and she is one of those.
