Patti LaBelle was born Patricia Holt, but we do not know her as that. Yesterday, when she was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a caller wanted to know how she got her name.
She told the caller, “I had a manager back in the day who was a car dealer. I went to his place, we had the studio there and he called me Patti LaBelle. Which means beautiful, you know la belle, but he thought I was ugly. It’s a whole long story.” The she added, “But my ugly was green!”
I do not know who her manager was looking at because I think she is as beautiful as her voice. Look at her, she is 73 years old and she looks her age. A true belle!
