Patricia Louise Holt-Edwards (born May 24, 1944) better known under the stage name Patti LaBelle, is an American singer, author, and actress. 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 early 1970s, she released the iconic disco song "Lady Marmalade" and the group later became the first African-American vocal group to land the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. 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 becoming radio staples.
Patti LaBelle is the debut solo album by singer Patti LaBelle, released in 1977. The first album LaBelle recorded after sixteen years fronting the band Labelle (formerly Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles), it is notable for the dance hit, "Joy to Have Your Love", the classic gospel-inspiring ballad, "You Are My Friend" and the Angelo "Funky Knuckles" Nocentelli mid-tempo number, "I Think About You".
Overview
Prior to recording the album, LaBelle initially thought of retiring from the music industry after nearly twenty years as the lead singer of the hugely successful girl group Labelle. Following the group's March 1977 split, brought on by months of growing tension, LaBelle and her husband of then eight years, Armstead Edwards, went to see a shrink over emotional distress in their marriage, which was partially due to the singer's fright over continuing a career without her group members. After further evaluation, LaBelle and her husband sorted out their differences. Edwards was then hired by his wife to be her manager as she carefully plotted her solo career. The singer traveled to New Orleans to record her new album, with David Rubinson, producer of Labelle's final album prior to their initial breakup, Chameleon, and also famed for his work with the Pointer Sisters.
"By Now" is a song written by Dean Dillon, Don Pfrimmer and Charles Quillen, and recorded by American country music artist Steve Wariner. It was released in April 1981 as the second single from the album Steve Wariner. The song reached number 6 on the BillboardHot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
Ever After is the third studio album by Canadian rock group Marianas Trench. It was released on November 21, 2011 in Canada and December 21, 2011 in the U.S. The album was certified Platinum by Music Canada in November 2012. Five singles were released from the album, including the Canadian Hot 100 Top 10 hit "Haven't Had Enough" and the Top 20 Canada Hot AC airplay hits "Stutter" and "By Now".
Background
Composition
After months of anticipation, Ramsay announced on Twitter that the album will be titled Ever After. The band announced that the album would be released on November 29, 2011, however this date was later pushed up to November 21. The band has announced that there will not be any breaks in between the tracks on the record, and will instead have a new track start as soon as the previous track ends, without a pause, making it an hour-long continuous piece of music. Production on the album had been taking place since Spring 2011.
Story Line
Ever After is a concept album, (as was Masterpiece Theatre). In addition to the fact that there is no pause between the tracks, Ever After also has a storyline told through the album's songs as well as its booklet. The story tells of Josh Ramsay, who lands in Toyland and has an amazing adventure.

By now she's putting on her makeup Bet she's been crying all night long By now her heart is surely breaking Just like this cold gray Georgia dawn By now she knows how much she needs me 'Cause she can't make it on her own By now she thinks I really miss her But I've hardly noticed she was gone And any minute now that phone is gonna ring She'll say let's work it out somehow But time keeps dragging on, what's taking her so long? I should've heard from her by now By now she's slipped into her night gown She's letting down her soft brown hair By now she needs someone to hold her And I know she's wishing I was there And any minute now that phone is gonna ring And she'll say let's work it out somehow But time keeps dragging on, what's taking her so long? I should've heard from her by now
