Editing Labelle (section)

==Legacy and influence==
Years after their breakup in 1976, Labelle's influence has been reflected by groups such as [[En Vogue]], [[Destiny's Child]] and [[The Pussycat Dolls]], who recorded the Labelle hit, "Far As We Felt Like Goin'" from the ''Phoenix'' album. Their biggest hit, "Lady Marmalade" continues to be covered, with its successful covers being renditions by [[All Saints (group)|All Saints]] and the [[Grammy Award|Grammy]]-winning number-one hit collaboration between singers [[Christina Aguilera]], [[Pink (singer)|Pink]] and [[Mýa]] and rapper [[Lil' Kim]] in 2001 (recorded for the ''[[Moulin Rouge!]]'' soundtrack.) The song was also covered by Madchester-era indie group The Happy Mondays, who spliced it with "Kinky Afro". The group's 1960s hit, "You'll Never Walk Alone", was covered by [[Sam Harris (entertainer)|Sam Harris]] (who also covered their rendition of "Over the Rainbow"),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWkzeTOOxbo | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130422052828/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWkzeTOOxbo&gl=US&hl=en| archive-date=2013-04-22 | url-status=dead|title=You'Ll Never Walk Alone And Take My Hand, Precious Lord Sung By Sam Harris |via=[[YouTube]] |date=July 28, 2009 |access-date=June 4, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoHDT89FwSA  |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/UoHDT89FwSA| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|title=Sam Harris-Somewhere Over The Rainbow |via=[[YouTube]] |date=June 25, 2008 |access-date=June 4, 2014}}{{cbignore}}</ref> and sampled by [[Kanye West]] in an early version of his song, "Homecoming" (which sampled the group's "walk on" intro) while their 1970s hit, "Isn't It a Shame" was sampled by [[Nelly]] on his song, "[[My Place (Nelly song)|My Place]]". Their 1973 song, "Goin' On a Holiday", was also sampled in several hip-hop songs (sampling the group's vocal bridge, "goin', goin', goin', goin'...on...").

The group has been called pioneers of the [[disco]] movement for the proto-disco singles "[[Lady Marmalade]]" and "Messin' With My Mind". In turn, "Lady Marmalade" has been also called one of the first mainstream disco hits (Jones and Kantonen, 1999). In 2003, "Lady Marmalade" was inducted to the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]]. In 2009, their songs "It Took a Long Time" and "System" were featured in [[Lee Daniels]]' film ''[[Precious (film)|Precious]]''.
