Legendary singer Sarah Dash has died at the age of 76.
She met Hendryx in school and the two formed the Del Capris.
After Birdsong left to join Diana Ross & the Supremes, the trio eventually settled on the name Labelle.
In 1976, the group disbanded, and Dash was initially left without a record label.
“I was the last of the three of us to be signed as a solo artist.
Dash also toured colleges as a motivational speaker.
Her death was unexpected, according to her former bandmates Nona Hendryx and Patti LaBelle.
“We were just on-stage together on Saturday and it was such a powerful and special moment!”
And I could always count on her to have my back!
… Rest in power my dear sister.
I love you always!”
“This one hurts.
We just worked with her earlier this year on an awareness campaign to motivate more Trentonians to get vaccinated.
