Musical treasure Patti LaBelle is bringing her legendary rhythm and blues to the Starkville campus as headliner of Mississippi State’s 2018-19 Lyceum Series. Doors open approximately 30 minutes before the curtain rises. Known as the “Godmother of Soul” and ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the “Top 100 Singers of All Time,” the Grammy Award winner's classic original songs and her renditions of pop and spiritual standards have created her personal platform of versatility for which she has been known and revered throughout her 50-plus year career. LaBelle’s signature songs “New Attitude” and “On My Own,” a Billboard No. 1 duet with Michael McDonald, are sure to be included in her performance, as are her show-stopping renditions of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and her 1975 original “Lady Marmalade.” A successful entrepreneur known for her best-selling, original recipe Patti’s Good Life sweet potato pie, she’s also an advocate for adoption and finding cures for diabetes, cancer and HIV/AIDS.
