Background Bio: Patti LaBelle

"Patti LaBelle (born Patricia Louise Holte; May 24, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. LaBelle began her career in the early 1960s as lead singer and front woman of the vocal group, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. Following the group's name change to Labelle in the 1970s, they released the iconic disco song "Lady Marmalade" which later was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. As a result, the group later became the first African-American vocal group to land the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and they became the first pop group to play at the Metropolitan Opera House."

After the group split in 1976, LaBelle began a successful solo career, starting with her critically acclaimed debut album, which included the career-defining song, "You Are My Friend". LaBelle became a mainstream solo star in 1984 following the success of the singles, "If Only You Knew", "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up", with the latter two crossing over to pop audiences and becoming radio staples."

LYRICS:

Patti LaBelle - "If You Asked Me To"

Used to be that
I believed in something
Used to be that
I believed in love
It's been a long time
Since I had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I never let nobody
Near my heart again, darlin'
I said I never let nobody in

[Chorus:]
But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since
I been around you
Can't go back to being
On my own
Can't help feeling, darling
Since I found you
That I found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I never let nobody
Get to close to me, darling
I said I needed
Needed to be free

[Chorus]

Ask me to and I will give my world
To you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything
For you baby
For you baby
I'll let you in my life forever
All you gotta do is ask me to
And I'll give you my world
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you anything
Just ask me, baby
Oh, I'll do anything you want me to
Just ask me, yes
All you gotta do is ask me to
If you asked me to
I'll change my mind

I hope that you enjoy it!
Kerry
