Labelle : Roll Out

After 30 years they are back, the 1970s trio Labelle! (i know, too many ‘commas’)

I listen to oldies, I honestly do. It is weird but just last months, I didn’t know the girl group Labelle. I had heard some of  their songs but you know…(u kno wen u kno a song but u just kno d song n nothin but d song so help u God)

I was listening to the drive show about a two weeks ago and Alex played a song that I loved on the spot. Not even a minute into the song I was like wow. I did not get the name of the artist and song title; well, the song tittle was obviuos after listening to the chorus (nt lyk Ashanti’s Foolish). I tried to look for the song but the Disc Jockey (hahaha, that kills me, disc jockey) had no clue (fake djs, sorry). (Anywayz) Yesterday, I am minding my own, listening to the drive show and Alex plays the song again and says, (i quote,) “and that was roll out by Labelle…(blahblahblah, nonsense, no sense)”. ‘Ughhh, i do not know that person’ that was my first reaction. ofcourse being the person that i am, i googled it (nt gogoed it) and voila…(u can gess d rest)

Wikipedia says (ryts, wateva, i still quote)

Labelle is an American R&B/soul group, who melded disco with funk and glam rock. The group was led by Patti LaBelle, who later had a solo career. Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash were the other 2 members. The group was best known for their gospel singing harmonies and the group sang of racism, sexism and eroticism. This female trio is responsible for the proto-disco funk classic “Lady Marmalade,”…

At this point in time I am hoping (i’m actually prayin) you all know ‘Lady Marmalade’ (oh no, u didn’t say no!)

There you go:

(Btw,) The new album is Back To Now. Please do look for it, it is highly recommended (by me ovcos).
