LaBelle, the musical trio of Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash, inspired much of the queer, expressive freedom that defined glam rock in the mid-70s, and yet their story and music has essentially been erased from the genre’s history. Our host Sasha Geffen and writer Adele Bertei dive into the self-contained unit of fiery, inspired women: three musicians and one manager, whose influence has stretched from Grace Jones to Lil Nas X. Bertei tells the stories of her own experience at a LaBelle “wear silver” show and meeting David Bowie and Geffen gets into the band’s famous costumes – whose designer would later go on to design wear for Parliament-Funkadelic and KISS.
