TV Article Back to Now By Leah Greenblatt Leah Greenblatt Leah Greenblatt is the former critic at large for movies, books, music, and theater at Entertainment Weekly. She left EW in 2023. EW's editorial guidelines Published on October 15, 2008 04:00AM EDT The fiercely soulful triad of Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash may have yielded only one legitimate smash — the 1975 disco milestone ”Lady Marmalade” — but in their time, Labelle opened for the Who, made a spectacular 1971 album with songwriter Laura Nyro (Gonna Take a Miracle), and produced some of the most sneakily ambitious funk music of their era. Now reunited after various solo outings, the ladies have turned out an admirably solid collection of midtempo soul burners with Back to Now. La-best of the bunch? A torchy cover of the Cole Porter classic ”Miss Otis Regrets” and the galvanizing, vocoder-laced I-am- woman anthem ”Rollout.” B+Download This: Listen to ”Rollout” on edgeboss.net
