Did you know that Patti Labelle was once a member of a girl group?
The legendary started her career as a member of a group called The Ordettes. The named of the band changed multiple times from the original title to The Bluebelles, Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles and finally, Labelle.
Notably, Patti’s group had as many changes to their lineup as they had to their name. The most remarkable shift, of course, came from Cindy Birdsong, who left the band in 1967 to join The Surpremes as a replacement for Florence Ballard.
No wonder why she is front and center in this pic! #Dead
