NEW YORK -- Singer Sarah Dash, who co-founded the all-female group Labelle -- best known for the raucous 1974 hit "Lady Marmalade" -- has died. She was 76.
Dash originally started in the group The Ordettes, before it morphed into The Bluebells and then into Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. In the early 1970s, they shortened it to Labelle, changed their outfits and veered toward funk, with all three members singing lead and background. But the group's best-known tune was "Lady Marmalade," a song about New Orleans sex workers from their 1974 album "Nightbirds."
