00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:06.759
<v Speaker 1>How Patty LaBelle that her stage name is today's topic.

2
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm Gail Nobles, Patty Lebelle. Patty Labelle's real name is Patricia.

3
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>She said in an interview. It was a car dealership

4
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in Philadelphia that decided to give her the name Patty LaBelle.

5
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 1>It means the beautiful, and he didn't see the beauty

6
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>in Patty. She said he was a lying man. Patty

7
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>said that he had a record label and his name

8
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>was Harold B. Robinson. He had a studio in the

9
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 1>basement of the car dealership. When he saw Patty, he

10
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>said she was too black and too ugly, and we

11
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>know that's not true. Harold said she couldn't do anything,

12
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 1>but he heard Patty's voice and found out that she

13
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 1>could sing. He was overwhelmed by her voice, and look

14
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 1>at Patty now beautiful and singing. She started out singing

15
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>with the group before she went solo. The group was

16
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>called Patty LaBelle and the Bluebells. You're listening to an

17
00:01:51.000 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Explana moment. Thank you for listening. Patty Libe
