"A smart, shrewd, joyful read, as piercing as any top C shriek from the woman who gave Labelle their name." —Barney Hoskyns, author of Glam! Bowie, Bolan, & the Glitter Rock Revolution

Performing as the Bluebelles in the 1960s, Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, & Sarah Dash wore bouffant wigs & chiffon dresses, & they harmonized vocals like many other girl groups of the era. After a decade on the Chitlin Circuit, however, they were ready to write their own material, change their name, & deliver—as Labelle—an electrifyingly celestial sound & styling that reached a crescendo with a legendary performance at the Metropolitan Opera House to celebrate the release of Nightbirds & its most well-known track, "Lady Marmalade." 

In Why Labelle Matters, Adele Bertei tells the story of the group that sang the opening aria of Afrofuturism & proclaimed a new theology of musical liberation for women, people of color, & LGBTQ people across the globe.
With sumptuous & galactic costumes, genre-bending lyrics, & stratospheric vocals, Labelle's out-of-this-world performances changed the course of pop music & made them the first Black group to grace the cover of Rolling Stone

Why Labelle Matters, informed by interviews with members of the group as well as Bertei's own experience as a groundbreaking musician, is the first cultural assessment of this transformative act.
