LaBelle - Nightbirds (Top 500 Countdown Update)

This album has some really good funk tunes that stand out. Songs like "Lady Marmelade", "What Can I Do For You", "Somebody Somewhere", "Are You Lonely?", "Space Children", and "Don't Bring Me Down". That's more than half of the album while the other bit is ballad, r&b, pop and not all that great at that. The good funk is stacked mostly on the first side of the album and so the energy of the album really starts to drag as the album goes on. The bass work is fantastic on the album and is definitely worth giving a listen to though I can't say I would pick this out to listen to more than once in a blue moon.
