Patti Labelle (1977) (with bonus track)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 552541) CBS/Big Break (UK), 1977 — Condition: New Copy

Patti's first solo album – recorded after splitting with the group Labelle, moving into a more sophisticated Diva soul mode that kept her strong for years to come! The album's pretty great, stepping out into the solo soul realm with terrific footing – and the best tunes have a smoothed out modern approach that's actually quite refreshing – and a bit better than some of the work by Labelle in the late years! 9 tracks on the original album: including "Dan Swit Me", "You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover", "I Think About You" and "Do I Stand A Chance", "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" and more. This Big Break UK remastered version includes the bonus track "Joy To Have Your Love (Single Version)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
