Labelle was a three member band that originated out of the Blue Belles, a girl group who were a popular vocal group of the 1960s and 1970s.
Their recordings of that period became cult favorites for dealing with subjects not typically addressed by female black groups. Finally, after adapting glam rock and wearing outlandish space-age and glam costumes, the band found success with the proto-disco smash hit “Lady Marmalade” in 1974, leading to the album Nightbirds achieving gold success.
