About this album

Nightbirds is LaBelle’s breakthrough, a sharp, stylish fusion of funk, soul and early disco that turned the trio into major stars. Released in 1974, the album is best known for “Lady Marmalade”, a No. 1 US single that became one of the era’s most recognisable hits and gave the group its signature calling card. Built around Patti LaBelle’s thrilling vocal firepower and the group’s fierce, theatrical edge, the record balances dancefloor urgency with attitude and personality. Its mix of glamour, grit and adventurous production helped define LaBelle’s most commercially successful period and secure the album’s lasting place in 1970s soul history.
