LaBelle was referred to as the ' Godmother of Soul'. 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. Following the group's name change to Labelle in the 1970s, they released the popular disco song ' Lady Marmalade' which was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
LaBelle began her career in the early 1960s as lead singer and front woman of the vocal group, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles.
Patti LaBelle (born Patricia Louise Holte May 24, 1944) is an American singer, actress, and businesswoman.
