Artist: Grover Washington, Jr.; Michael McDonald; LaBelle; Laura Nyro Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: As comprehensive a compilation of soul diva Patti LaBelle's work as one could hope for, this two-disc set follows every phase of the singer's stylistic development. From her early girl-group-style work with the Blue Belles ("Down the Aisle"), through the disco/funk classics ("Lady Marmalade") of her LaBelle era, to solo hits like the synth-driven "New Attitude, a full portrait of this multi-faceted artist begins to emerge.
From her doo-wop roots as a member of the '60s girl group the Blue Belles to the disco craze of the 1970s to a renewed interest in R&B in the '80s and '90s, Patti Labelle's ability to change with the times has brought her true staying power. Her remarkably flexible vocal range hasn't hurt either; Labelle has used her powerful voice to tackle soul ballads, pop tunes, and disco anthems, most famously the randy "Lady Marmalade."
