Description
I have had this album since it came out in 1977. It has some great music on it and I have loved listening to it. But, I am now retiring and it is time to find this vinyl album another good home with someone who appreciates it and will treasure it as I did. I would not be parting with my albums if it were not for these reasons. Just time to let go and down size! Patti LaBelle is the debut solo album by American singer Patti LaBelle, released in 1977. The first album LaBelle recorded after sixteen years fronting the band Labelle (formerly Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles), it is notable for the dance hit, "Joy to Have Your Love", the classic gospel-inspiring ballad, "You Are My Friend" and the Angelo "Funky Knuckles" Nocentelli mid-tempo number, "I Think About You".
