Only The Best Of Patti LaBelle - Patti LaBelle

Let the great voice of Patti Labelle entertain you.

Advantages: Has many very good songs and is very well produced.
Disadvantages: A two page album sleeve.

Born in Philadephia in 1944 as Patricia Louise Holte, Patti Labelle is widely recognised as one of the best and most consistent female voices in the business. Her style ranges from R & B right through to soul, disco and gospel. So it came as no surprise at all recently when a choir representing Philadelphia that she coached and mentored won NBC's TV show Clash Of The Choirs in which her choir easily defeated choirs mentored by Nick Lachey, Michael Bolton, Kelly Rowland and Blake Shelton. This album has some 16 tracks of her very best work. My particular favourites are "Someone Like You", "Kiss Away The Pain", "I'm In Love" and the remarkable duet "On My Own" in which she duets with Michael McDonald. "On My Own" was a U.S. No 1 hit single in 1986 and was written and produced by what can only be described as the ultimate dream team ...

Review of Essential Collection, The - Patti LaBelle

FELICITY HAS LOTTS TO SAY ABOUT APPLES AND PEARS

Advantages: A rich score, articulate singers and athletic dancers. As close to a 'live' experience without being there
Disadvantages: Makes you long to be 'live'

dressed only in a towel and wins. Helen is encouraged to present him with his laurel leaf. Dinner is called and Calchas schemes to dispose of Menelaus. The final scene sees him reluctantly taking a suitcase with the chorus in full flow singing "The Gods tell you to go to Crete" The Entr'acte which features the well known La Belle Hélène waltz leads into Act II. This is still based around the bedroom but now it has become an excavation site. There is a large mural on the wall depicting the maiden Leda being seduced by Jupiter in the guise of a swan (Helen's parents). With Menelaus gone she is having second thoughts. She seeks guidance from Venus ("Invocation to Venus") about the consequences if her virtue is compromised by Paris. All the time her maid is trying to persuade her to get dressed for the feast. Paris arrives to claim his prize ...

Review of Jacgues Offenbach - La Belle Helene (DVD)

La Belle ville de Marseille

Advantages: It's a Beautiful city with breathtaking views
Disadvantages: Going out for a drink can proove expensive.

plate and 8? for a big one, and you can pile up as much as you can get on that plate. It's gormet food, well prepared and all vegetarian. As for the shopping. A small Aubergine in an English supermarket costs .99p, and aubergine twice the size costs .60? about .30p to .35p. I could go on quoting you price differentials like this. But then I'd end up saying more about the shopping than Marseille, which is what I'm writing about. There are plenty of sights to see, such as Notre Dame de la Guarde, which is a large church with a statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the city. One can catch le petite train from Vieux Port (the old port), which will take you up to the church, which is well worth the trip. Not only to see the splendour of this magnificent building. But also for the view it affords you of the city and the islands just off ...
