Birthday Greeting Strawberry Festival Event
Patti LaBelle Woos Her Audience At Strawberry
Festival Concert
BY JULIA JACKSON
Popular R&B and Soul singer, Patti LaBelle did not disappoint when she was in concert Saturday, March 11th at the Plant City Straw- berry Festival.
Fabulously dressed in a bright red, short, sequined dress and red pumps, Ms. LaBelle sash-shayed onto the stage, wooing her audi-
ence with all of their favorites. She also shared a ‘secret,’ that an album from her will soon be re- leased.
At 72 years young, Patti stated, “Don’t get it twisted – I’m still here singing my songs.” She told the audience that she loved it here so much that she will return next year. (Photos by Julia Jackson)
