- Labelle is an American all female singing group who were a popular vocal group of the 1960s and 1970s. The group was formed after the disbanding of two rival girl groups in the Philadelphia/Trenton areas, the Ordettes and the Del-Capris, forming as a new version of the former group, later changing their name to The Blue Belles (later Bluebelles). The founding members were Patti LaBelle, Sundray Tucker, Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash. Tucker left before the group cut their first record and was replaced by Cindy Birdsong. As The Bluebelles, and later Patti LaBelle and The Bluebelles, the group found success with ballads in the doo-wop genre, most notably, "Down the Aisle (The Wedding Song)", "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Over the Rainbow". After Birdsong departed from the group to join The Supremes in 1967, under the advice of Vicki Wickham, the group changed its look, musical direction and style and reformed as Labelle, in 1971. Their funk rock recordings of that period were cult favorites and they were raved for their brash interpretation of rock and roll and for dealing with subject matter that was not touched by black groups. Finally after adapting glam rock and wearing outlandish space-age and glam rock-adorned costumes, the group found success with the proto-disco smash, "Lady Marmalade", in 1974, leading to their parent album, Nightbirds, becoming a platinum success. They are notable for being the first contemporary pop group and first black pop group to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House. The group went on their own after the end of a tour in 1976 going on to have significant amount of solo success, especially Nona Hendryx, who followed an idiosyncratic muse into her own solo career, which often bordered on the avant-garde and Patti LaBelle, who's enjoyed a very successful Grammy-winning solo career. The group returned with their first new album in 32 years with 2008's Back to Now.
- Le Labelle sono un trio di Rhythm and blues, Funk, Soul e Disco music degli Stati Uniti, noto in tutto il mondo per la canzone Lady Marmalade, successo del 1974.
- LaBelle was de naam van het vocale trio bestaande uit de zangeressen Patti Labelle (pseudoniem van Patricia Holt), Nona Hendryx en Sarah Dash, gedurende de periode 1970-1976. De groep was daarvoor actief als Patti LaBelle & the BlueBelles. Onder hun nieuwe manager Vicki Wickham wijzigden ze in 1970 hun naam in LaBelle en veranderden van stijl: in plaats van popdeuntjes kozen ze voor een mengeling van soul, funk, (proto-)disco en rock. Bij hun optredens gingen ze zich kleden in bizarre, extravagante kostuums met veel glitter en veren, die deden denken aan de glamrock. Nona Hendryx ontpopte zich in de periode die volgde als een getalenteerde songschrijfster. De meeste nummers op de LP Pressure Cookin' uit 1973 waren van haar hand. In 1974 namen ze in New Orleans de LP Nightbirds op met de befaamde producent Allen Toussaint. De single Lady Marmalade met het Franse refrein "voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" ging naar de eerste plaats van onder andere de Amerikaanse hitparade, een succes dat ze later niet meer konden herhalen. De volgende LP's, Phoenix (1975) en Chameleon (1976) waren commercieel niet erg succesvol. Op het einde van 1976 werd de groep ontbonden en begonnen de leden aan een solocarrière, die voor Patti LaBelle zelf en Nona Hendryx meer succesvol zou verlopen dan voor Sarah Dash.
- LaBelle, amerikansk vokal sångtrio bildad 1962 som Patti LaBelle and the Blue-Belles. När gruppen bildades var medlemmarna fyra: Patti LaBelle, Cindy Birdsong, Wynona Hendryx och Sarah Dash. Under 1960-talet hade gruppen ett typisk soulinfluerat tjejgruppssound inte olikt Supremes eller Martha and the Vandellas. De hade några halvstora hits i USA fram tills Birdsong lämnad gruppen 1967 för att gå med i Supremes. Man tog aldrig in en ersättare för henne utan forttsatte som en trio. Gruppen var fortsatt aktiv under början av 1970-talet och utvecklade ett mer funkinspirerat sound. Men de nådde inte kommersiell framgång. Det kom att ändras då gruppen 1974 släppte singeln Lady Marmalade på Epic Records. Låten toppade billboardlistan och kom att med sina vågade franska refräng "voulez vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)" bli deras enda riktigt stora hit. LaBelle upplöstes två år senare efter att inte ha lyckats följa upp framgången med ovanstående låt. Sångerskorna gjorde därefter solokarriär med varierat resultat.
