Patti LaBelle And The Bluebells

Previously named The Blue Belles for a short period of time. Consisted of Patti LaBelle and Cindy Birdsong, both formerly of the Ordettes, and Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash, both formerly of The Del Capris. Birdsong left the group to replace Florence Ballard in The Supremes, and the other three members changed the group's name to LaBelle.
