“Beautiful” simply does not describe the incomparable force known to the world as Patti LaBelle. Often credited as the Godmother of Soul, this multi Grammy® Award winner’s hits include “Lady Marmalade” – which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, “If Only You Knew,” “New Attitude,” and “On My Own” – a duet with Michael McDonald.
Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards, and spiritual sonnets, this soulful songbird’s name has become synonymous with grace, style, elegance, and class. In addition to being on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Apollo Theater Walk of Fame, LaBelle has been honored with the NAACP Image Award for Entertainer of the Year, the BET Awards’ Lifetime Achievement Award, the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and the World Music Awards’ Legend Award.
