HAPPY MONDAY SONG: STIR IT UP - PATTI LABELLE

A hot song for a cold day. GIRL!!! Ms. Patti was turning it OUT in the 80s. Stir It Up was her second single released form the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack (the first being New Attitude). It is upbeat, joyous and Patti, as usual, blows the roof of that mo'fo'. I mean, when she lets loose at the end of this song, it is pure brilliance. Try not to dance to this song. If you succeed, you are soulless. Just saying. Enjoy and get happy on this Monday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PATTI LABELLE!

The first lady of WORKING IT, Patti Labelle, is 68 today!! Patti has been all up in our faces since the 60s and she is still turning out the dramatic key changes and sky-high scoops for her adoring fans. I truly discovered Patti during her comeback in the 80s when she was doing all that weird shiz with her hair (pictures) and LOVED her right away. Her voice is truly one of a kind and she's got more sould than the (supposed) queen of soul, IMHO. Here are my favorite Patti songs, including my VERY fave Stir It Up and her original version of the Celine Dion classic If You Ask Me To, for you to feast on today. Happy birthday, Patti Labelle!!!
