Description
Originally the quartet Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles (Sarah
Dash, Nona Hendryx and Cindy Birdsong before Birdsongs
departure made it a trio), the transformation from bouffant
wigs and the reworking on standards such as Over The
Rainbow and Youll Never Walk Alone to a futuristic,
space-age-clad trio of high-powered vocalists finally took
hold with the 1973 release of Labelles sole album for RCA
Records, Pressure Cookin'.
The transition from 60s girl group to 70s funknsoul
sisters had been masterminded by former British TV
producer Vicki Wickham who oversaw the production of the
production of Labelles recordings for Track Records and
two albums for Warner Brothers (a self-titled 1971 set and
1972s Moonshadow).
Stevie Wonder penned the albums lone single, Open Up
Your Heart as well as co-producing the track and Going On
A Holiday (although uncredited for contractual reasons on
both cuts).
Pressure Cookin' also included an inspiring
medley of Thunderclap Newmans Something In The Air
and Gil Scott-Herons timeless The Revolution Will Not Be
Televised. -
