Celebrate the Season with Patti LaBelle
NJ, United StatesThis holiday season, see Grammy® Award-winning artist Patti LaBelle as she performs holiday classics and the hits you know and love! Known for her powerhouse vocals and electrifying live performances, LaBelle’s hits include “If Only You Knew,” “When You Talk About Love,” “New Attitude,” “Stir It Up,” and “Lady Marmalade." Patti LaBelle is an incomparable force, belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards and spiritual sonnets that have created the unique platform of versatility that she is known and revered for. The same motivation that had Patricia Louise Holte blossom from a choir member to lead vocalist for Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles and later Labelle, to a solo artist, is the same energy that keeps her fire burning at 78-years young. LaBelle has written six books, Don’t Block the Blessings, LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About, Patti’s Pearls, Patti LaBelle’s Lite Cuisine, Recipes for the Good Life, and Desserts LaBelle. Recently, LaBelle released a 20th anniversary edition of her New York Times bestselling cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine, featuring three new recipes. Additionally, LaBelle has been featured in popular films and television programs including A Soldier’s Story, A Different World, American Horror Story, Empire, Star, and The Kominsky Method,
