Roland Smith CD discography Though LaBelle had its roots in Philadelphia, the sound that made the group famous in the '70s is as far from the Philly International style as soul-based music can get. Instead of the lush, string-filled sound of Gamble and Huff, Labelle's music relies on a gritty, funk-oriented sound that makes the most of trenchant horn charts, soul-flavored keyboards, and heavy grooves. They began as a female vocal quartet in the early '60s, but by the time "Lady Marmalade" made them a worldwide sensation in the '70s, they were a trio, driven by the powerful voices of Patti LaBelle and Nona Hendryx. As heard on such tunes as the churning, sensual "You Turn Me On," Patti's voice is a marvel, easily a contender for Aretha's crown. Often, a gospel influence is audible (another link to Aretha). But instead of Aretha's earthy soul path, LaBelle went down a decidedly more aggressive road, their propulsive funk and outrageous visual style aimed toward the burgeoning rock market. Even without the elaborate hairdos and outfits, though, they were one of the most impressive female-fronted funk outfits of the '70s, as this definitive compilation of material from the mid-to-late-'70s makes clear. Additional personnel includes: Edward "Rev" Batts (guitar, background vocals); Leo Nocentelli, Jr., Roland Smith, John Shine, Louis Russell, John Rowin (guitar); Clarence Ford (alto saxophone); Alvin Thomas, Lon Price, Jim Moore (tenor saxophone, flute); Steve Howard, Clyde Kerr, Jr. (trumpet); Richard Kermode (piano); Arthur Neville, James Booker (organ); Allen Toussaint (keyboards); George Porter, Jr., David Barard, Eddie Watkins, Mac Cridlin (bass); Herman Villere Ernest III, Nate Neblett (drums); Kenneth Williams, Jeffrey Shannon (percussion); Ray Parker, Jr. This is part of the Legacy Rhythm And Soul series.
