Reviews
[ Why Labelle Matters ] not only chronicles the group's history but demonstrates, as the title suggests, why their music was and is so important., Why Labelle Matters is a bracing treasure trove of pop revelation...If your main impression of Patti Labelle comes from the overproduced studio versions of her later solo hits, and your knowledge of Labelle, the group, is limited to 'Lady Marmalade', this punchy little volume will open your ears to a progressive past that still sounds like the future.

Synopsis
Crafting a legacy all their own, the reinvented Labelle subverted the ?girl group? aesthetic to invoke the act?s Afrofuturist spirit and make manifest their vision of Black womanhood., Finalist, 2022 Lesbian Memoir/Biography, Lambda Literary Award for Arts and Culture Crafting a legacy all their own, the reinvented Labelle subverted the "girl group" aesthetic to invoke the act's Afrofuturist spirit and make manifest their vision of Black womanhood. Performing as the Bluebelles in the 1960s, Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash wore bouffant wigs and chiffon dresses, and they harmonized vocals like many other girl groups of the era. After a decade on the Chitlin Circuit, however, they were ready to write their own material, change their name, and deliver--as Labelle--an electrifyingly celestial sound and styling that reached a crescendo with a legendary performance at the Metropolitan Opera House to celebrate the release of Nightbirds and its most well-known track, "Lady Marmalade." In Why Labelle Matters , Adele Bertei tells the story of the group that sang the opening aria of Afrofuturism and proclaimed a new theology of musical liberation for women, people of color, and LGBTQ people across the globe. With sumptuous and galactic costumes, genre-bending lyrics, and stratospheric vocals, Labelle's out-of-this-world performances changed the course of pop music and made them the first Black group to grace the cover of Rolling Stone. Why Labelle Matters , informed by interviews with members of the group as well as Bertei's own experience as a groundbreaking musician, is the first cultural assessment of this transformative act.

- e***_ (16)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
