Labelle, 'Nightbirds'
CBS/Epic, 1974
Disco with a pedigree (girl-group Motown) and ambitions (art rock), Labelle zoomed dance rock into the future. Nightbirds was a concept album with a beat – a kaleidoscopic masterpiece of feminist striving.
Essential moment: The hey-sister go-sister intro to "Lady Marmalade," featuring the ultimate disco cowbell.
