Happy Birthday, Patti LaBelle: 80 Years Of Blessings! | America In Black

In 2024, the illustrious Patti LaBelle will celebrate two milestones: the 50th anniversary of her band’s smash hit, “Lady Marmalade,” and her 80th birthday.

Pattie born male

Yes she very vibrant,and seemly genuine

And I lost my 10 siblings. My mother told me to stay away from them on her deathbed and she’ll never forget me for what I’ve done for Her I took care of my mom and treated her as a baby when she was sick and fed her on a platter like the queen she was every day

My birthday May 24. Gemini love ❤️

[@baijzahangel5881]

She deserves it.....we've waited long ENOUGH and so has she. I've NEVER known another woman like Patti in my life, and as she matures, there is still noone like her. She has whipped and knocked out so many people with her voice that all they could do was talk about her behind her back because they knew once she was on stage with her, ALL EDGES we're COMING OUT,honey. And she's still going to smile, razzle and dazzle while she stands and blows you away for the world to see. Even when she's a mess, she's unapologetically PATTI. SHE lives her music. Her presentation and her performances are unrivaled and it's time that she received the praise that GOD has for her to receive. I can see HIM smiling down on her and shaking HIS head. "Well done, MY DAUGHTER, well done". Happy BIRTHDAY, MS. PATRICIA. YOU ARE THE TRUE GEM. KEEP GETTIN' EM' , girl. YOU ARE MY FRIEND.💝🎉🎊🎂 🍷

Happy early birthdays to the Godmother of Soul (Patti LaBelle) and the Empress of Soul (Gladys Knight). Both are turning 80 years old later this month.

[@Amourbeauty_mua]

The queen of soul 💗

[@chancebrown106]

Considering all of the women in her family passed at a little over half her age, I’m so proud to see her hit this milestone. I’m barely 35 but proud she was my first concert/old school artist to see fifteen years ago.

[@roccosophie6498]

You're "proud?" Are you a relative in any way? And and even if you were, do you honestly think she gives a dam what you think?😆

[@user-cv4ul6bq4o]

Happy Birthday Ms. Patty . Looks lovely like you’re aging backwards 💐💐💐

Miss Patti...also best friends with Cyndi Lauper! The ending of If You Only Knew is legendary. These women are icons to both men and women..of all races, sexual orientations, ages. Patti, Anita, Teena Marie, Phyllis (so underrated!), Dionne, Gladys.

[@41yearoldnewdriver]

Patty can sing! She is one of the better black female artists in the music industry.

[@truthtime2978]

What a blessing to have lasted this long in the music business

[@maebullard8502]

Happy birthday, Queen!

[@steverdms]

I have said it for 40 years - without a doubt the BEST female vocalist of any time! And so under appreciated in my opinion.

[@markdrinkwater1508]

Don't be ridiculous. She was average at best

Happy birthday Ms. LaBelle. 😊😊

[@Just-Princess]

Ms. Patti is full of energy and youth! It shows what 80 can be when blessed with good health and happiness (money helps too!). Happy birthday Ms. Patti.

[@Mackon645.]

I had the privilege of being on stage with this wonderful woman Patti LaBelle. She picked me out of the audience. I danced with her up on the stage and I told her she was my strength and kept me going after my loss of my sister with cancer. Patty do you remember me? Its Mark Anthony!" ❤️💜

[@TiffanyMoore-ze2hs]

80 years and looking like this, wow, and I love her hair!
