Title: Down In Ole' Moulin Rouge!
Review: On 1974's 'Nightbirds' Patti,Nona and Sarah all make it clear that when it comes to stanky,sweaty New Orleans R&B and funk they will be the undisputed female champians!"Lady Marmalade" was of course Labelle's big breakthrough single and likely what they'll always be remembered for but the trio also deliver several other funky tunes in a similar vein such as the title track,"Don't Bring me Down","All Girl Band" and "Somebody Somewhere" and these gals truely give the music their all.Patti Labelle and Nona Hendryx never have belted out stronger then they do here and Alen Toussaint's organ and horn heavy arrangements give every song here,even the two ballads a big,punchy sound.But it's not a disco thing-it's all about that hefty rhythm and alot of funkiness.A superb place to introduce yourself to Labelle if you already haven't and just a damn great CD to have!
