They weren't able to do their encore "Lady Marmalade".Nona was in her dressing room,pounding her head against a wall.There was blood everywhere.She was having some kind of breakdown and the ambulance was called.The group was finished.  That's what I'm saying

Look what's being released on August 11 
Three of their classic albums from the mid-70s---'Nightbirds' (1974),'Phoenix' (1975) and 'Chameleon' (1976)---digitally remastered in a slipcase with the original album artwork and extensive liner notes. I'm gonna pre-order it now! | |

SoulAlive said: She certainly does
 In her book,she also reveals that she had to fight to include "Isn't It A Shame" on the album.The other girls didn't wanna record that song at all.When Patti suggested that she should do a solo album,they went berserk...lol... Yeah I heard so much of that. Patti surely won the last fight: the song became a top 20 R&B hit in '77, the year Labelle split. I think it's a Patti LaBelle standard, lol. | |

Also the fact that she open about her sexuality, proved to be a big bump on the road for her. I ADORE this song, speaking of which

That song was just horrible. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Nona is an interesting artist.Some of her solo work is really edgy and groundbreaking,which is why she sometimes had a hard time getting airplay. | |
